Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Synthesis and Applications of Photoactive Molecules and Photovoltaic Materials”, presents a wide-ranging exploration of innovative research in the fields of photoactive materials and photovoltaics. This collection of articles highlights advances in designing and synthesizing novel photoactive molecules, pushing the boundaries of light absorption and energy conversion. Organic photovoltaic materials are showcased as eco-friendly alternatives, emphasizing flexibility and cost-efficiency, while inorganic materials, particularly perovskite solar cells, are examined for enhanced stability and efficiency.
Moreover, this Special Issue delves into the versatile applications of photoactive molecules in photocatalysis, energy conversion, and environmental remediation. Advanced characterization techniques are discussed as essential tools for material optimization. From energy harvesting to optical devices and sensors, this Special Issue reveals the myriad applications of these materials in emerging technologies. In summary, it offers a comprehensive snapshot of the latest developments in photoactive materials, with implications for renewable energy and advanced technologies. The synthesis, property characterization and application of materials should focus on biological, materials, or molecular research.

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 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 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.
