About the Journal

Aims and Scope

The Journal of Advanced Catalytic Materials & Energy Conversion (JACMEC) aims to serve as a dedicated scholarly platform for publishing high-quality research that advances the understanding and application of catalytic materials and energy conversion technologies. The journal is committed to promoting original scientific contributions that address current and future challenges in sustainable energy, chemical transformations, and environmentally responsible processes.

JACMEC welcomes Original Research Articles and Review Articles that present novel insights, reliable experimental results, theoretical analyses, and practical innovations. The journal encourages interdisciplinary research that bridges chemistry, materials science, physics, and engineering, with a strong emphasis on solutions that support clean energy production and carbon-neutral technologies.

The scope of JACMEC covers both fundamental studies and applied research, enabling the translation of laboratory discoveries into scalable and impactful technologies. Contributions from established scientists as well as emerging researchers are equally valued.
