Welcoming Professor Martyn McLachlan as the new Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Materials Chemistry C and Materials Advances

“   Having served as an Associate Editor for Journal of Materials Chemistry C since 2017 and for Materials Advances since its launch, I am delighted to take on the role of Editor-in-Chief for both journals. It is a privilege to help shape their future direction and to continue supporting our diverse research community. These journals exist to serve and support our research community — providing a trusted platform for the publication of the highest-quality materials research. I am honoured to work alongside such a talented Editorial Board and the outstanding professional team in the RSC Editorial Office.   “

Martyn McLachlan is Professor of Materials Science in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London, where he leads research at the interface of materials chemistry, physics, and engineering. His work focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterisation of advanced functional materials for energy conversion and optoelectronic applications, including metal-halide perovskites, metal oxide semiconductors, and hybrid systems.

A core theme of his research is understanding how processing conditions influence structure and device performance developing fundamental insights into thin-film formation, defect control, and interfacial phenomena. Martyn’s group employs state-of-the-art analytical techniques to study surfaces and buried interfaces, linking nanoscale chemistry and physics to macroscopic device behaviour. Beyond research, Martyn is passionate about mentorship and community building. He has played a key role in doctoral training and cross-disciplinary education, nurturing the next generation of scientists and engineers equipped to tackle global materials challenges.

He has been an Associate Editor on Journal of Materials Chemistry C since 2017 and Materials Advances since it launched in 2020.
