This year, we are celebrating the first 10 years of ACS Catalysis and the journal’s role publishing the most innovative advancements in catalysis from across the globe. Thus, far, we have recognized the many contributions from authors in China,(1) Switzerland,(2) Italy,(2) Canada,(3) the Republic of Korea,(4) Spain,(5) France,(5) India,(6) Russia,(7) Brazil,(7) Belgium,(7) Austria,(7) Israel,(8) Norway,(8) Poland,(8) Taiwan,(8) Australia,(9) Saudi Arabia,(9) and Singapore.(9) In this issue, we continue with our year-long highlights of papers from different countries by recognizing several high-impact contributions with corresponding authors from Japan. Two of ACS Catalysis’ Associate Editors have appointments in Japan. Cathleen Crudden (Nagoya University-ITbM and Queen’s University, Canada) and Takashi Ooi (Nagoya University-ITbM) bring expertise in the areas of molecular homogeneous catalysis with a focus on new approaches toward organic synthesis. Nine of the journal’s past and present Editorial Advisory Board members represent Japan across all subdisciplines of catalysis. Japan has a long history of research in all the subdisciplines of catalysis, and authors from Japan have published 515 manuscripts (as of August 31) since the journal’s beginning in 2010–2011. Contributions from Japan to ACS Catalysis are the fourth most published in the journal. Table 1 shows some of the most highly cited manuscripts from authors in Japan, including 10 contributions from 8 different institutions. To demonstrate the breadth of catalysis published from Japan in the journal, we selected manuscripts from all three subdisciplines. Based on Web of Science data gathered on August 31, 2020. Most cited paper in biocatalysis or enzymology. A common theme among the highlighted publications in Table 1 is the development of new fundamental understanding of catalytic processes that can enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. For example, three of the papers are focused on catalytic processes related to the use of renewable resources, including photocatalytic water splitting (solar energy to chemical energy), electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (solar energy for a carbon neutral cycle), and the use of biomass-derived compounds for chemical production. In addition, two publications are focused on advancements in catalytic C–H functionalization, which can provide energy-efficient routes to valuable chemicals, while an additional two manuscripts seek to advance understanding toward the direct use of dioxygen for catalytic oxidation reactions. We thank the catalysis community of Japan for the many contributions to ACS Catalysis as authors and substantial efforts as referees. We congratulate the authors’ whose work is highlighted in Table 1, and we look forward to our continued work with the array of talented chemists from Japan as we shape the future of the field of catalysis. Views expressed in this editorial are those of the author and not necessarily the views of the ACS. This article references 9 other publications.
