Journal of Energy Chemistry

Journal of Natural Gas Chemistry has renamed as Journal of Energy Chemistry starting from 2013During the past two decades, especially in the last decade, under the influence of many factors such as political, economic and social and environmental aspects, the trend of the energy exploration, research and applications has been extensively extended on one side, and are taking place deeply changes in the dramatic ups and downs on the other side. It is again revealed and confirmed that competition and innovation are the driving force for the development of science and technology.
In consideration of this situation, we decide after more than two years of preparation to officially rename the Journal of Natural Gas Chemistry as the Journal of Energy Chemistry from 2013.

The Aims and Scope of Journal of Energy ChemistryThe Journal of Energy Chemistry is an international journal published bimonthly by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and the Chengdu Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Elsevier publishes the Journal on ScienceDirect, including the online full text and bibliographic information resource, and take care of the Journal’s international institutional print subscriptions. The Journal of Energy Chemistry is a publication that mainly reports on creative researches and innovative applications of chemical conversions of fossil energy, electrochemical energy and hydrogen energy, as well as the conversions of biomass and solar energy related with chemical issues to promote academic exchanges in the field of energy chemistry and to accelerate the exploration,research and development of energy science and technologies.
In more detail, the Journal functions as a medium for reporting original research papers dealing with topics in the fields of energy chemistry. It is devoted to up-to-date progress in the following fields all over the world:
• Optimized chemical utilization of both conventional and unconventional fossil energies
• Research and utilization of hydrogen energy
• Conversion and storage of electrochemical energy
• Capturing, storage and chemical utilization of CO2
• New materials and nanotechnologies related to energy utilization
• Chemical conversion of biomasses
• Chemical approaches related to photo-catalysis

Types of contributions Four types of manuscripts are acceptable for publication: Articles, Communications, Reviews and Research notes.
Articles are meant for papers reporting the results of completed definite studies. If several closely related manuscripts are being prepared at about the same time, all should be submitted together. Articles with high scientific quality and originality, which are of interest to the wide and diverse readership of the Journal, will be given priority for publication.
Communications are intended for the rapid and timely publication of original research of significance. Communications are short contributions not exceeding three printed pages in length.
Reviews deal with topics of current interest in areas relating to energy chemistry. Rather than an assemblage of detailed information with a complete literature survey, a critically selected treatment of the material is desired. Unsolved problems and possible developments should also be discussed. Review articles are generally written upon invitation by the Chief Editor.
Research notes report valuable results that are timely parts of a phase research work.
We believe that, under the care and support of the readers, authors and scholars, as well as people from all walks of life, the Journal of Energy Chemistry will appear in the field of international academic journals with its unique and acute academic perspective, a wealth of scientific creation and technological innovation information, as well as the new face and style.
