Aims and Scope
Applied Catalysis B: Environmental welcomes original, novel and high-impact contributions from the following fields:
Catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur compounds, chlorinated and other organic compounds, and soot emitted from stationary or mobile sources
Basic understanding of catalysts used in environmental pollution abatement, especially as applied to industrial processes
All aspects of preparation, characterization, activation, deactivation and regeneration of novel and commercially applicable environmental catalysts
New catalytic routes and processes for the production of clean energy, such as in hydrogen generation via catalytic fuel processing; and new catalysts and electrocatalysts for fuel cells
Catalytic reactions in which wastes are converted to useful products
Clean manufacturing replacing toxic chemicals with environmentally friendly catalysts
Scientific aspects of photocatalytic processes and basic understanding of photocatalysts as applied to environmental problems
New catalytic combustion technologies and catalysts

11.14 Editor Insik Nam refused to review, citing formatting issues and requesting more references to ACB's own literature.
11.19 Resubmission
12.02 Editor's review
12.24 Received reviewer comments, 5 reviewers, 1 major revision and 4 minor revisions, editor provided a 30-day deadline for response.
01.21 Submitted reviewer comments and revised manuscript
01.30 Manuscript accepted
Overall, ACB's handling speed of manuscripts has accelerated compared to previous years, with acceptance possible within two months if everything goes smoothly. However, ACB's difficulty has increased, as the research group had several submissions rejected last year without even being reviewed. ACB mostly accepts manuscripts on photocatalysis and electrocatalysis in the field of environmental energy, focusing on hot topics and having a preference for manuscripts with large amounts of characterization data. Therefore, it is advisable to include more content in the main text and place any additional data that cannot fit in the main text into the supplementary information. The journal has a high self-citation rate, which indirectly contributes to the improvement of the journal's impact factor.
I would like to thank editor G. L. Puma for their careful work and also express my gratitude to the reviewers for their recognition of my work.
Fortunately, I had better luck with ACS Catalysis. From submission to acceptance, it only took 42 days, including the Chinese New Year holiday. All I want to say is that ACB is not worth pursuing. Thank you, ACB, for teaching me a lesson.
