Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy generation, conversion, and storage are emerging as a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary research field at the interface between chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering. In this context, organic/hybrid photovoltaics and thermoelectrics are becoming two of the most promising electrical energy generating technologies based on the unique optical, electronic, and electrical properties of π-conjugated materials ranging from small molecules to polymers. The wide activity of researchers in these two fields lies in the fact that huge potential is accompanied by endless molecular conception. Over the past few years, important achievements have been witnessed in the fields of organic/hybrid photovoltaics and thermoelectrics.
We are delighted to invite colleagues to contribute to this Special Issue of “Organic and Hybrid Materials for Electrical Energy Generation” based on the aforementioned concept. Keywords include organic photovoltaics, hybrid photovoltaics, perovskite solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, organic thermoelectrics, hybrid thermoelectrics, and semiconductors, as well as conjugated molecules.
The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase the recent developments of this rapidly developing interdisciplinary research field. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
