Current Advances in Photochemistry

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, photochemistry has undergone considerable development in various fields of science, as well as influenced several aspects of our life. The study of photochemical systems can exploit sunlight in order to drive chemical reactions or to generate electricity, which is of great practical significance for the production of sustainable energy vectors.

This Special Issue aims to provide an overview on the latest achievements in photochemistry, highlighting new molecular, supramolecular, and/or material-based systems, as well as their use in applications such as (but not limited to) bioimaging, functional devices, and catalysis. Particular attention can be given to the artificial photosynthesis approach, i.e., to the design of new molecular chromophores, redox catalysts, and electron donors/acceptors for solar energy conversion into value-added products or fuels. Studies of the dynamics of energy/charge transfer processes, also by means of ultrafast techniques, will also be welcomed.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
