Mechanochemistry: Looking back and ahead
Tomislav Stolar, Jasna Alić, Lucia Casali, Nikita Gugin, Matej Baláž, Adam A. L. Michalchuk, Franziska Emmerling, Chem 2026, 12, 102880.
Mechanochemistry leads to the discovery of new chemical transformations, materials with advanced properties, and the degradation of complex chemical wastes. These discoveries come with decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and processing costs. Using digital tools and artificial intelligence will expedite the optimization of mechanochemical processes, and powering them with renewable energy sources will result in a greater industrial appeal. As a result, pilot and industrial plants based on innovative mechanochemical technologies will emerge, forming the basis of the next-generation chemical industry.

Meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals with Mechanochemistry
Jasna Alić, Moritz‐Caspar Schlegel, Franziska Emmerling, Tomislav Stolar, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024, 63, e202414745.
Mechanochemistry, a sustainable chemistry discipline that uses mechanical action to induce chemical reactivity without bulk solvents, is a hot topic in academic research on sustainable and green chemistry. Given its fundamentally different working principles from solution chemistry, mechanochemistry offers more efficient chemical processes and the opportunity to design new chemical reactions. Detailed analysis shows that mechanochemistry connects with most UN SDGs and offers more cost-efficiency than other approaches together with a superior environmental performance.
