NEW! Original Research in Energy & Sustainability MRS Energy & Sustainability will now publish original research articles highlighting recent breakthroughs in energy and sustainability research that emphasize materials science developments integrated with objective economic, sociological, and policy factors. This research will span a wide range of topics including energy generation, storage, and distribution; carbon capture; life-cycle analysis of energy and non-energy materials; technologies for optimizing water resources, and more. Within the scientific and technological communities, global sustainability challenges cannot be addressed without also considering the integration of broader societal, economic, and policy issues framing the adoption of innovative technologies. Putting materials, energy, and environment in the framework of sustainability is a primary focus of MRS Energy & Sustainability, defining the context for this field and leading its scientific development. The journal’s intended readership is a broad spectrum of scientists, academics, policymakers, and industry professionals. Originally a review-only journal, the addition of original research to the reviews, commentaries, and perspectives delivered by the journal will inform and educate on the scientific, technological, socio-economic, and policy complexities for energy and sustainability, establishing the unique character and scope of the journal in serving numerous communities of researchers.
Proposals for original research papers are solicited in the following areas, including but not limited to: Energy generation (solar, wind, and nuclear) Energy storage (batteries, biofuels, solar fuels, supercapacitors) New forms of energy distribution and usage enabled by these new materials (such as future electronics, neuromorphic devices, sensors, etc.) Electrocatalysis and photocatalysis Materials for carbon capture and storage Life-cycle analysis (LCA) of new energy materials and systems Life-cycle analysis for applications other than energy (electronics, plastics) Reducing or making substitution for use of rare or toxic materials Designing materials properties for long life or transience Use of plastics in the environment Artificial intelligence to speed research for sustainability solutions Synthetic biology for materials development Technologies for water purification or conversion
Submission of Proposals To be considered, proposals outlining new but complete and previously unpublished results significant to the development of this field should be submitted via the MRS Energy & Sustainability electronic submission system. The proposal form and author instructions may be found at mrs.org/energy-sustainability-proposal-form.
