Dear Colleagues,

This special edition will highlight the emerging role of organic compounds and ligands in photo-harvesting systems. Manuscripts on the synthesis, photophysical properties, and implementations of light-harvesting organic compounds and mixed organic-inorganic assemblies are invited. The descriptions of work on the design, synthesis, and evaluation of organic-derived polymeric and oligomeric products for light harvesting are encouraged for submission. Manuscripts on non-organic materials or computational treatments of photoharvesting molecules are not targeted in this edition and should be submitted elsewhere.

Submission

All manuscripts should be submitted to energies@mdpi.org with a copy to the Guest Editor. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this Open Access journal is 800 CHF per accepted paper.
