Materials Advances

Materials Advances is a fortnightly gold open access journal launched by the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2020 that publishes experimental and theoretical materials science across the discipline, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.8.《材料进展》（Materials Advances）由（Royal Society of Chemistry）于 2020 年创办，为双周出版的金色开放获取期刊，覆盖材料科学各方向的实验与理论研究，2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.8。

Scope

• The journal accepts experimental and theoretical studies that report new understanding, properties, synthesis or applications of materials.期刊接受报告材料新认识、新性能、新合成或新应用的实验与理论研究。
• Energy materials for batteries, supercapacitors, photovoltaics, fuel cells and catalysis form a major strand.面向电池、超级电容器、光伏、燃料电池与催化的能源材料，是主要方向之一。
• Biomedical and soft materials, polymers, hydrogels and materials for drug delivery are covered alongside inorganic and hybrid systems.生物医用与软材料、聚合物、水凝胶及药物递送材料，与无机及杂化体系一并覆盖。
• Two-dimensional materials, nanomaterials and porous frameworks are treated from synthesis through to device performance.二维材料、纳米材料与多孔框架，从合成一直讨论到器件性能。
• Computational, data-driven and machine-learning approaches to materials discovery and design are within remit.面向材料发现与设计的计算、数据驱动与机器学习方法，均在收稿范围。
• Communications, full papers and perspectives are the principal article types.通讯、全文与展望是主要文章类型。
• The readership is academic and industrial materials researchers, and the journal is positioned to complement the Journal of Materials Chemistry family.读者为学术界与工业界的材料研究者，期刊定位为与（Journal of Materials Chemistry）系列互补。

History

• Materials Advances was launched in 2020 as one of the Royal Society of Chemistry's first gold open access materials titles.本刊于 2020 年创办，是（Royal Society of Chemistry）首批金色开放获取材料类期刊之一。
• It appears fortnightly and is funded by an article processing charge of 2,200 pounds rather than by subscriptions.期刊每两周出版一期，经费来自 2200 英镑的文章处理费，而非订阅收入。
• The journal shares its associate editors with Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C, so a single team handles manuscripts across all four titles.本刊与（Journal of Materials Chemistry A）（B）（C）共用副编辑团队，同一团队处理四种期刊的稿件。
• Peer review is single anonymised, and at least two reviewer reports are required before a decision.评审采用单向匿名方式，作出决定前须至少取得两份审稿报告。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.8, after 4.7 in 2024, and the title is indexed in ESCI, Scopus and DOAJ.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.8，2024 年为 4.7，收录于（ESCI）（Scopus）与（DOAJ）。
• Median time to first decision is 32 days for all submissions and 42 days for those sent out for review.所有稿件的首次决定中位时间为 32 天，送外审的稿件为 42 天。

Editors

• Martyn McLachlan of Imperial College London is one of three editors-in-chief and works on materials chemistry for energy applications.伦敦帝国理工学院的 Martyn McLachlan 为三位主编之一，研究面向能源应用的材料化学。
• Jessica Winter of Ohio State University, a chemical and biomolecular engineer, is the second editor-in-chief.俄亥俄州立大学的 Jessica Winter 为第二位主编，专业为化学与生物分子工程。
• Li-Zhu Wu of the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the third, with expertise in photochemistry and photocatalysis.中国科学院理化技术研究所的 Li-Zhu Wu 为第三位主编，专长为光化学与光催化。
• An international group of associate editors handles manuscripts and provides consistent assessment across the four companion journals.国际化的副编辑团队负责处理稿件，并在四种姊妹刊之间保持一致的评审尺度。
• The journal runs standing and themed calls, including surface-enhanced Raman scattering and nanocellulose for environmental applications.期刊设有常设与专题征稿，包括表面增强拉曼散射、面向环境应用的纳米纤维素等方向。
• Authors may publish open access without embargo, and all articles carry a Creative Commons licence.作者可立即开放获取发表，所有文章均采用（Creative Commons）许可。
