Source-derived summary

The Journal of Physical Chemistry C publishes scientific articles reporting research on several subdisciplines of physical chemistry:

Nanoparticles and nanostructures

surfaces, interfaces, and catalysis

Electron transport, optical and electronic devices

Energy conversion and storage

It was created in 2007 when The Journal of Physical Chemistry B was split in two, largely due to the recent growth in the area of nanotechnology. The journal is published weekly, with the first issue on January 11, 2007. Like The Journal of Physical Chemistry A and B, it is published by the American Chemical Society.

The journal is indexed in: Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) and British Library. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal had a 2022 impact factor of 3.7.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “The Journal of Physical Chemistry C” as peer-reviewed scientific journal. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2007, 2022—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2007. The account is most persuasive where Journal, Physical and Chemistry can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as peer-reviewed scientific journal. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2222904. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2022.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
