Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the technical explosion during recent decades, energy consumption has become a critical issue for economic globalization, accelerating the development of clean energy conversion. Solar energy is a type of clean source with abundant information (i.e., polarization, frequency, and intensity) that has attracted significant research interest for facing the energy crisis. Nanotechnologies for the generation, processing, and fabrication of materials offer an alternative approach for the efficient utilization of solar energy, rendering wide applications, i.e., solar cells, photodetection, photocatalysis, etc. The selected papers for this issue will include, but are not limited to, nanomaterials synthesis, energy conversion, material property investigation, and the applications of low-dimensional materials.

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.
