Aims & Scope

Dynamic Nanocatalysis (DN) is dedicated to advancing frontier research in catalytic science with a focus on dynamic behaviors and structural evolution. It covers interdisciplinary fields including materials science, chemical engineering, energy, and environment, aiming to establish a high-level academic exchange platform. DN is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.

The specific scope includes:

  • Dynamic Catalytic Mechanisms: Encompassing structural reconstruction of catalysts under reaction conditions and dynamic evolution of active sites (e.g., single-atom migration, cluster dissociation/reassembly, etc.).
  • In-situ Characterization Techniques: Such as in-situ electron microscopy, synchrotron radiation, and ultrafast spectroscopy, which are applied to the analysis of dynamic catalytic processes.
  • Theoretical and Computational Simulations: Integrating approaches like machine learning and synthetic biology to predict dynamic catalytic behaviors and construct structure-performance correlation models.
  • Intelligent Responsive Materials: Design of photo/thermal/magnetically responsive nanocatalysts, self-healing catalytic materials, and biomimetic catalytic systems.
  • Interdisciplinary Applications:
    ※ Energy Field: Dynamic catalytic water splitting for hydrogen production, catalysis for metal-air batteries, catalytic conversion of organic molecules, etc.;
    ※ Environmental Applications: Real-time catalytic degradation of pollutants, recyclable catalytic membranes, environment-responsive nanocatalytic purification, etc.
