The Journal of Energy Chemistry is an international academic journal and published bimonthly in English. The journal formerly is known as the Journal of Natural Gas Chemistry, founded in 1992. Professor Xinhe Bao of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Professor Gabriele Centi of the University of Messina, Italy now are the editors-in-chief. The editorial office is settled in the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.During the past two decades, especially in the last decade, under the influence of many factors such as political, economic and social and environmental aspects, the trend of the energy exploration, research and applications have been extensively extended on one side, and are taking place deeply changes in the dramatic ups and downs on the other side. It is again revealed and confirmed that competition and innovation is the driving force for the development of science and technology. In consideration of this situation, we decide after more than two years of preparation to officially rename the Journal of Natural Gas Chemistry as the Journal of Energy Chemistry started from 2013.The Journal of Energy Chemistry is a publication that mainly reports on creative researches and innovative applications of chemical conversions of fossil energy, electrochemical energy and hydrogen energy, as well as the conversions of biomass and solar energy related with chemical issues to promote academic exchanges in the field of energy chemistry and to accelerate the exploration，research and development of energy science and technologies.In more detail, the Journal of Energy Chemistry is interested in the following subjects:(1) Optimized utilization of fossil energy(2) Hydrogen energy(3) Conversion and storage of electrochemical energy (4) Capture, storage, and chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (5) Materials and nanotechnology related to energy conversion and storage(6) Chemistry in biomass conversion (7) Chemistry in the utilization of solar energy Main columns of the Journal of Energy Chemistry are as follows: Original research papers; Newsletters; Reviews and Introduction and Comment on international meetings related to energy chemistry, as well as Introduction of research institutions engaged in the field of energy chemistry.

《能源化學(xué)雜志》是一本國(guó)際學(xué)術(shù)期刊，每?jī)蓚€(gè)月出版一期英文版。該雜志前身為1992年創(chuàng)辦的《天然氣化學(xué)雜志》。中國(guó)科學(xué)院大連化學(xué)物理研究所的鮑新河教授和意大利墨西拿大學(xué)的格百利教授現(xiàn)在是主編。編輯部設(shè)在中國(guó)科學(xué)院大連化學(xué)物理研究所。在過(guò)去的二十年里,尤其是在過(guò)去的十年中,許多因素如政治的影響下,經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會(huì)和環(huán)境方面,能源勘探的趨勢(shì),都進(jìn)行了廣泛的研究和應(yīng)用擴(kuò)展一側(cè),和正在發(fā)生深刻的變化劇烈的起伏在另一邊。這再次揭示和證實(shí)了競(jìng)爭(zhēng)和創(chuàng)新是科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)展的動(dòng)力。考慮到這種情況，經(jīng)過(guò)兩年多的準(zhǔn)備，我們決定將《天然氣化學(xué)雜志》正式更名為《能源化學(xué)雜志》，從2013年開(kāi)始。《能源化學(xué)雜志》主要報(bào)道化石能源、電化學(xué)能源和氫能化學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)化的創(chuàng)新研究和創(chuàng)新應(yīng)用，以及與化學(xué)問(wèn)題有關(guān)的生物質(zhì)和太陽(yáng)能轉(zhuǎn)化，促進(jìn)能源化學(xué)領(lǐng)域的學(xué)術(shù)交流。努力加快能源科學(xué)技術(shù)的探索、研究和發(fā)展。更詳細(xì)地說(shuō)，《能源化學(xué)雜志》對(duì)以下主題感興趣：（1）化石能源優(yōu)化利用（2）氫能（3）電化學(xué)能的轉(zhuǎn)換和儲(chǔ)存（4）二氧化碳的捕獲、儲(chǔ)存和化學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)化（5）與能源轉(zhuǎn)換和儲(chǔ)存有關(guān)的材料和納米技術(shù)（6）生物質(zhì)轉(zhuǎn)化化學(xué)（7）太陽(yáng)能利用的化學(xué)《能源化學(xué)雜志》的主要欄目有：原始研究論文；時(shí)事通訊；對(duì)能源化學(xué)相關(guān)國(guó)際會(huì)議的回顧、介紹和評(píng)論，以及對(duì)能源化學(xué)領(lǐng)域研究機(jī)構(gòu)的介紹。
