History

• The journal was launched in 2021 as one of nine fully open access ACS Au journals, a portfolio announced in December 2020 with Shelley D. Minteer of the University of Utah as editor-in-chief, and submissions opened in January 2021.该刊于 2021 年创刊，是九种完全开放获取（ACS Au）期刊之一；该刊群 2020 年 12 月宣布组建，由犹他大学（University of Utah）的（Shelley D. Minteer）出任主编，2021 年 1 月开放投稿。^[1]
• The portfolio was created in response to funding mandates, including those of cOAlition S funders, offering authors a completely open access route with no embargo period.该刊群的设立顺应了包括（cOAlition S）资助方在内的科研资助开放要求，为作者提供完全开放获取的发表途径，文章一经发表即可免费阅读。
• Each Au journal serves as the open access counterpart of a traditional ACS hybrid journal, and a dual-role editorial strategy is used to keep editorial and peer-review quality and selectivity aligned between the two.每种（Au）期刊都是（ACS）相应传统混合型期刊的开放获取对应刊，编辑部采用双重任职策略，使两类期刊的编辑与同行评审质量和选择性保持一致。
• Volume 1 appeared in 2021, and the journal now publishes six issues a year.该刊 2021 年出版第 1 卷，现每年出版 6 期。
• Authors may publish under a CC BY or a CC BY-NC-ND licence, with article publishing charges discounted for ACS members and for authors in 87 countries, and more than 300 institutions hold Read and Publish agreements with ACS.作者可选择（CC BY）或（CC BY-NC-ND）许可发表，（ACS）会员及 87 个国家的作者可享受文章处理费减免，另有 300 多家机构与（ACS）签有阅读与出版协议。
• In Journal Citation Reports the journal is placed in Q2 in Chemistry, Physical, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 4.8 against 4.3 in 2024.在（Journal Citation Reports）中，该刊在物理化学类别列（Q2），2025 年影响因子为 4.8，2024 年为 4.3。

Editors

• The Editor-in-Chief is Shelley D. Minteer of the Missouri University of Science and Technology, an electrochemist working on electrocatalysis, batteries, organic electrosynthesis and biosensors, who also serves as Deputy Editor of ACS Measurement Science Au.现任主编为密苏里科技大学（Missouri University of Science and Technology）的（Shelley D. Minteer），研究方向为电催化、电池、有机电合成与生物传感器，她同时担任（ACS Measurement Science Au）副主编。
• The Deputy Editor is Gemma C. Solomon of the University of Copenhagen, who with associate editors Tanja Cuk of the University of Colorado Boulder and Jin Z. Zhang of the University of California Santa Cruz presented the journal's editorial vision in its inaugural issue.副主编为哥本哈根大学（University of Copenhagen）的（Gemma C. Solomon），她与科罗拉多大学博尔德分校（University of Colorado Boulder）的（Tanja Cuk）、加利福尼亚大学圣克鲁斯分校（University of California Santa Cruz）的（Jin Z. Zhang）在创刊号上阐述了期刊的编辑愿景。^[2]
• The journal was launched with an Editorial Advisory Board of twenty members drawn from Australia, China, Germany, India, Italy, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.创刊时该刊设有 20 人的编辑顾问委员会，成员来自澳大利亚、中国、德国、印度、意大利、新加坡、西班牙、瑞典、瑞士与美国。
• Day-to-day manuscript handling is overseen by the deputy editor, within a portfolio structure in which each Au journal has its own deputy editor, associate editors, Editorial Advisory Board and Early Career Advisory Board.日常稿件处理由副主编负责；在整个（Au）刊群架构中，每种期刊均设有自己的副主编、副编辑、编辑顾问委员会与早期职业顾问委员会。
• Submissions go through the ACS Publishing Center, and the journal accepts pre-submission inquiries, while Tutorials are often invited but proposals may be sent to the portfolio office.投稿经（ACS Publishing Center）提交，期刊接受投稿前咨询，教程文章多为邀稿，亦可向刊群办公室提交选题提案。
• Peer review follows ACS standards, preprints are permitted, and article transfer pathways are available between ACS journals.同行评审遵循（ACS）标准，允许预印本，并在（ACS）各刊之间提供稿件转投通道。
