Hello all,
for my MSc Chemistry, I have to write a short review on a topic that has been gaining attention over the past years.
However, one of the requirements is that this topic must not have been reviewed in the last 2 years.
Does anyone have any interesting topics for writing a short (+- 10 pages) review?

It seems like an odd set of requirements. It has to be interesting enough to be deemed "gaining attention" but not interesting enough for someone to have done a review of it in the last two years.
I can think of a number of topics that probably haven't been reviewed in several years, but that is because they aren't all that interesting anymore (solved or irrelevant). I can also think of a number of very interesting topics, but they have all been reviewed in the last few years because they are very interesting.
I would go back three or four years in chem rev or a similar journal and start looking at topics, then seeing if they are still relevant and if so if someone has written a review about it since. It will take some leg work but will also probably yield fruit the quickest.
