Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent progress in the development of functional materials has provided new perspectives in photonic and optoelectronic technologies. The understanding of photophysical and photochemical phenomena is crucial to optimizing the performance of materials used in devices such as solar cells, sensors, light-emitting diodes, lasers, and photocatalysts. This Special Issue aims to bring together original research and review articles focusing on the interplay between light and matter at the molecular and nanoscale levels. Topics include excited-state dynamics, charge transfer mechanisms, energy migration, photoinduced structural transitions, and light–matter interaction in emerging materials such as perovskites, conjugated polymers, carbon-based systems, hybrid organic–inorganic structures, and 2D materials. The issue also welcomes contributions on experimental and theoretical approaches addressing spectroscopic techniques, photodegradation, and the design of photofunctional materials for advanced technologies.

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. Physchem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
