History

• The journal was launched in 2020 by the American Chemical Society as a companion to ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces and the ACS Nano family, with the first volume appearing in the same year该刊于 2020 年由美国化学会创办，作为（ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces）与（ACS Nano）系列的姊妹刊，首卷同年出版。
• It was conceived to provide a fully open access letters venue for materials science, complementing the subscription-based ACS materials portfolio with a rapid publication outlet该刊定位为材料科学的完全开放获取快报平台，以快速发表出口补充基于订阅的（ACS）材料期刊群。
• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 8.312 in 2021 to 11.17 in 2022, then to 8.7 in 2024 and 8.6 in 2025, maintaining first quartile standing in materials science multidisciplinary该刊影响因子由 2021 年的 8.312 升至 2022 年的 11.17，2024 年为 8.7，2025 年为 8.6，始终居材料科学综合类第一四分位。
• From its founding the journal operated as a gold open access title with a Creative Commons licence, and it has retained the continuous publication model since launch自创刊起该刊即为金色开放获取期刊，采用知识共享许可，并一直沿用连续出版模式。
• The publisher carries the journal on the ACS Publications platform and the digital object identifier prefix of its articles is 10.1021, shared with other American Chemical Society journals出版方将该刊载于美国化学会出版物平台，其文章的数字对象唯一标识符前缀为（10.1021），与美国化学会其他期刊一致。
