Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to summarize the recent development of photosensitizers, including, but not limited to, those used for photodynamic therapy, photocatalysis, photovoltaics and photopolymerization, with a scope encompassing life science, environmental and materials science, etc. The issue will cover molecular structural design, synthesis methodology, the study of photophysical properties (via both experimental and theoretical approaches), and the application of photo-responsive compounds in the abovementioned and related areas.

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.
