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.

《能源化學雜志》是一本國際學術期刊，每兩個月出版一期英文版。該雜志前身為1992年創辦的《天然氣化學雜志》。中國科學院大連化學物理研究所的鮑新河教授和意大利墨西拿大學的格百利教授現在是主編。編輯部設在中國科學院大連化學物理研究所。在過去的二十年里,尤其是在過去的十年中,許多因素如政治的影響下,經濟、社會和環境方面,能源勘探的趨勢,都進行了廣泛的研究和應用擴展一側,和正在發生深刻的變化劇烈的起伏在另一邊。這再次揭示和證實了競爭和創新是科學技術發展的動力。考慮到這種情況，經過兩年多的準備，我們決定將《天然氣化學雜志》正式更名為《能源化學雜志》，從2013年開始。《能源化學雜志》主要報道化石能源、電化學能源和氫能化學轉化的創新研究和創新應用，以及與化學問題有關的生物質和太陽能轉化，促進能源化學領域的學術交流。努力加快能源科學技術的探索、研究和發展。更詳細地說，《能源化學雜志》對以下主題感興趣：（1）化石能源優化利用（2）氫能（3）電化學能的轉換和儲存（4）二氧化碳的捕獲、儲存和化學轉化（5）與能源轉換和儲存有關的材料和納米技術（6）生物質轉化化學（7）太陽能利用的化學《能源化學雜志》的主要欄目有：原始研究論文；時事通訊；對能源化學相關國際會議的回顧、介紹和評論，以及對能源化學領域研究機構的介紹。
