Advanced Materials in Photoelectrochemistry

Dear Colleagues,

The field of photoelectrochemistry is a rapidly advancing scientific discipline that harnesses the power of light energy to convert chemical energy. It holds great promise in the areas of renewable energy and environmental conservation. Photoelectrochemistry finds applications in diverse fields such as solar energy conversion, environmental remediation, and hydrogen production through water splitting. The key to achieving efficient and sustainable solar energy conversion and other photo-driven chemical processes lies in the development of advanced materials that optimize light absorption, charge separation, and catalytic activity.

This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Materials in Photoelectrochemistry” will explore and present the latest research findings, innovations, and breakthroughs in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced materials for photoelectrochemistry. We welcome original research articles and reviews that cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Novel materials for photoelectrochemical applications, such as photovoltaic devices for water splitting and environmental remediation.
• Synthesis and fabrication techniques for advanced photoelectrode materials, including photocatalysts, electrocatalysts, semiconductors, quantum dots, perovskites, carbon-based nanomaterials, and more.
• Fundamental principles and mechanisms underlying photoelectrochemical processes.
• Emerging applications and technological advancements in the field of photoelectrochemistry.

By shedding light on these areas, we hope to foster the exchange of knowledge, inspire further research, and contribute to the advancement of photoelectrochemistry and its potential in addressing global energy and environmental challenges.

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. 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.
