Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome your contributions to this Special Issue of IJMS, entitled “Recent Molecular Research on Photocatalytic Applications”. This Special Issue welcomes cutting-edge research papers, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspectives on molecular materials for photocatalytic applications.
Photocatalysis, or light-driven catalytic reactions, has become a viable method for eliminating organic pollutants, environmental toxins, and other photosensible reactions. The demand for effective and sustainable remediation solutions has led to major molecular-level advancements in recent years that have improved our understanding of and ability to use advanced multifunctional molecular photocatalysts. Innovative studies devoted to the design, synthesis, and mechanistic clarification of new photocatalytic materials are included in this Special Issue. Additionally, studies on computational insights and spectroscopic approaches that offer an atomic-level knowledge of reaction processes, the function of dopants, co-catalysts, and organic–inorganic hybrid systems in customizing the photocatalytic pathways are also welcome.
The contributions in this issue highlight the interdisciplinary nature of the field, encompassing chemistry, materials science, and environmental engineering.
Dr. Hassan Ait Ahsaine

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
