Abstract

Catalysis is the key technology of our well-established chemical industry. Also, it is considered one of the most interdisciplinary and fundamental sciences with enormous potential for future research and development. Hence, a high number of manuscripts dealing with all different aspects of catalysis topics are published each day. Unfortunately, certain pitfalls that became quite common by now are found in submitted manuscripts and sometimes (and too often) even pass the peer reviewing process. This is especially a problem at the forefront of catalysis research at which novel catalysts are developed and novel reaction systems are described from scratch. Hence, in this concept paper common pitfalls in carrying out and reporting catalytic experiments ranging from heterogeneous thermal catalysis to photo- and electrocatalysis are briefly summarized and solutions how to avoid these issues are presented.
