Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Chemical Research on Photosensitive Materials, 2nd Edition”, aims to discuss the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of photosensitive materials. Photosensitive materials include photochromic materials, photoluminescence materials, photothermal materials, photovoltaic materials, and photocatalysts; most of them have exhibited important applications in detection/indication, energy conversion, environmental protection, and phototherapy. Photosensitive materials may be composed of small molecular compounds, polymers, inorganic materials, or organic–inorganic hybrids. The key focus of this Special Issue is on the relationships among the structure, properties, and applications of photosensitive materials, especially novel designs of structures that lead to advanced properties and extended applications.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
