Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology focuses on the study of light interactions with matter, encompassing photochemical processes, photophysical properties, and photobiological effects. Research includes the development and application of photocatalysts for environmental remediation, the photochemistry of materials for energy conversion and synthesis, and the photobiology of therapeutic interventions and damage. Investigations also cover the photophysical characterization of molecules and materials, including dyes and nanoparticles, for sensing, imaging, and therapeutic applications.
