ACS Catalysis

ACS Catalysis, published by the American Chemical Society (ACS), stands as a premier international journal dedicated to advancing the field of heterogeneous, homogeneous, and biocatalysis. With an ISSN of 2155-5435 and a 2026 Impact Factor of 13.600, it consistently ranks in the JCR Q1 quartile, affirming its position as one of the most influential and highly cited journals in the catalysis community. The journal’s scope encompasses original research that significantly deepens the understanding of catalytic processes, covering a broad spectrum from molecular-level mechanistic studies and computational modeling to the design of novel catalysts and the development of sustainable chemical transformations. Main topics include electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, organocatalysis, enzyme catalysis, and the synthesis of catalytic materials, with a strong emphasis on insights that drive practical applications in energy, environment, and fine chemical production. ACS Catalysis publishes primarily full-length research articles, along with comprehensive reviews, perspectives, and letters that highlight breakthroughs or emerging concepts. The target audience is composed of academic researchers, industrial scientists, and graduate students specializing in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, and related interdisciplinary fields. A notable feature is its rigorous peer-review process and rapid publication timeline, ensuring that high-impact findings are disseminated efficiently. While not an open access journal by default, authors have the option to publish their work open access under an ACS AuthorChoice license. The journal’s consistently high impact factor and top-tier quartile ranking underscore its exceptional standing as a must-read venue for cutting-edge catalysis research worldwide.
