IUPAC’s 2025 Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry

Abstract Since 2019, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has identified the Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry [1]. This initiative showcases the strategic and innovative contributions of chemistry and chemists to the sustainability and the well-being of society, [2] serving as a platform to promote up-and-coming breakthroughs to catalyse commercial uptake and technology transfer [3]. This year’s selection, as usual curated by a team of experts from a pool of proposals submitted by researchers worldwide, includes technologies capable of tackling the climate crisis, transitioning to a sustainable supply chain, and providing promising solutions for better healthcare. Read on to discover the 2025 top ten technologies in chemistry with a transformational potential.
