Front Cover: Emergence of Non‐photoresponsive Catalytic Techniques for Environmental Remediation and Energy Generation (Chem. Asian J. 9/2023)

In recent years, numerous photocatalysts and electrocatalysts have been developed to address energy and environmental issues, however, some properties such as low efficiency and easy charge recombination limit their applications. Hence, it is imperative to design and explore new catalytic techniques that include non-photoresponsive catalysts. Here, recent advances in exploiting diverse catalytic techniques that can be used in dark environments, including piezocatalysis, thermocatalysis, pyrocatalysis, tribocatalysis and hybrid catalysis (piezocatalysis with pyrocatalysis and tribocatalysis with pyrocatalysis) are summarized. The overall mechanism of each catalytic technique and its applications in different fields such as energy generation, environmental remediation, and carbon dioxide reduction are discussed.
