In the course of a scientific work, I will discuss the different types of reinforcement learning. However, I have difficulties to find these different types.

So, into which subcategories can reinforcement learning be divided? For example, the following subdivisions seem to be useful

  • Model-free and Model-based
  • Dynamic Programming, Monte Carlo and Temporal Difference

Any others?

Your two suggestions are not mutually exclusive. If you go by this process, you'll have to do a "Cartesian product" of a bunch of different RL categorizations which would get out of hand. I recommend, if you can, to describe some sort of "RL taxonomy" instead. By this I mean describing different RL characterizations without assuming they're mutually exclusive.

To add to your list :

  • On-policy or off-policy
  • Value based or policy gradient
