Calls for papers

This Guest Edited Collection aims to bring together research at the intersection of systems chemistry and coacervation. We welcome both experimental and theoretical studies.

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key technology to combat global climate issues. By utilizing renewable energy, we can convert greenhouse gases into value-added commodity chemicals. While there has been a growing number of CO2 research in recent years, there are still many unanswered fundamental questions and engineering challenges. With this collection, we encourage scientists from different academic backgrounds to explore these remaining challenges in the CO2 electrochemical reduction reaction and provide a forum for the CO2 community to share their latest research results. We welcome all submission of original research articles, reviews and perspectives related to the theme of CO2 electrocatalytic reduction.

Recognizing the potential of and ongoing intense research in aqueous zinc-based batteries, the editors of Nature Communications, Communications Chemistry and Communications Materials welcome submissions of primary research demonstrating significant development in all areas of aqueous zinc-based batteries from key element design and fundamental understanding to integrated battery systems.

This Collection aims to bring together the latest progress in the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of covalently bonded nanomaterials fabricated by the on-surface synthesis approach, as well as highlighting advances in the synthesis of coordination polymers, macrocycles and other compounds obtained on surfaces.

This Collection, a partnership between Nature Synthesis, Nature Communications and Communications Chemistry, will serve to bring together articles describing advances across the field of organic synthesis.

This Guest Edited Collection aims to bring together research focused on polymeric transformations mediated by organocatalysts, primarily focusing on organomediated polymeric transformations, but also other sustainable catalysts such as work on biocatalytic polymerizations and work using earth abundant sustainable metals, as well as new perspectives on the depolymerization of polymers synthesized by the above or related methodologies.
