International Journal of Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics

International Journal of Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics

International Journal of Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics [2456-6977 (e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 that welcomes research papers and review articles concerning the development in the field of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. Maximum entropy thermodynamics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, reaction mechanism, gas phase kinetics, and solution kinetics are a few topics that are included in the journal.

The journal welcomes original and interdisciplinary research in the following areas:

• Chemical Thermodynamics: thermodynamic properties, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy, chemical potential, phase behavior, solution chemistry, calorimetry, activity coefficients, equations of state, and thermodynamic data analysis.
• Classical and Statistical Thermodynamics: molecular interpretation of thermodynamic properties, statistical mechanics, molecular distributions, partition functions, fluctuation phenomena, and microscopic approaches to macroscopic behavior.
• Equilibrium Thermodynamics: chemical equilibrium, phase equilibria, reaction equilibrium, liquid–liquid and solid–liquid equilibria, adsorption equilibria, and thermodynamic modelling of equilibrium systems.
• Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics: irreversible processes, entropy production, transport phenomena, coupled processes, dissipative systems, and thermodynamic descriptions of systems away from equilibrium.
• Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms: reaction rates, kinetic modelling, elementary reaction steps, reaction pathways, transition-state theory, activation parameters, and mechanistic investigations.
• Gas-Phase and Condensed-Phase Kinetics: combustion chemistry, atmospheric reaction kinetics, solution-phase reactions, surface reactions, catalytic processes, and chemical transformations in different phases.
• Catalysis and Reaction Engineering: homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, catalyst kinetics, catalytic mechanisms, reaction optimization, reactor kinetics, and energy-related chemical transformations.
• Electrochemical Thermodynamics and Kinetics: electrode processes, electrochemical reactions, batteries, fuel cells, corrosion kinetics, charge-transfer mechanisms, and electrochemical energy systems.
• Computational Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics: molecular simulations, quantum chemical calculations, kinetic modelling, thermodynamic databases, computational prediction, and data-driven approaches for physicochemical systems.
• Biological and Biophysical Thermodynamics: thermodynamic aspects of biomolecular interactions, protein folding, enzyme kinetics, molecular recognition, biochemical reactions, and biological energy transformations.
• Thermodynamics of Materials and Energy Systems: phase transformations, materials chemistry, energy conversion, storage systems, thermal processes, and physicochemical properties of advanced materials.
• Advanced Experimental and Analytical Methods: calorimetry, spectroscopy, reaction monitoring, kinetic measurements, thermodynamic characterization, and development of experimental approaches for studying chemical processes.
