It can be declined in many ways, and several functionalities arising from this behavior of materials can be exploited, all leading to positive repercussions on our environment. There are several classes of effects of photoactivity, all of which have been deeply investigated in the last few decades, allowing to develop more and more efficient materials and devices. All of them share a common point, that is, the interaction of a material with light, although many different materials are taken into account depending on the effect desired—from elemental semiconductors like silicon, to more complex compounds like CdTe or GaAs, to metal oxides like TiO2 and ZnO. Given the broadness of the field, a huge number of works fall within this topic, and new areas of discovery are constantly explored. The special issue “Novel Photoactive Materials” has been proposed as a means to present recent developments in the field, and for this reason the articles included touch different aspects of photoactivity, from photocatalysis to photovoltaics to light emitting materials.photo-oxidationsilver phosphatelow power white-light LED irradiationartificial raindensity functional theory (DFT)degradationphotocatalytichybrid nanomaterialsband gap modificationphotodepositionperovskite solar celltitanium oxidetitanium(IV) oxo-clustersphoto-oxidative degradationconfocal microscopecomposite materials4-chlorophenolanodizingbroadband spectraphotoactivitydurabilitybio-based substancesphoto Fentoncrystallinitynanostructured materialshydrothermalTiO2advanced oxidation processescharge dynamicsmechanical propertyCH3</NH3</PbI3metal-halides perovskitesDFT calculationssol-gelcaffeineCuxO-ZnO catalystwater-repellencyphotocatalysisstone protectionsurfactantphotovoltaicsphotoluminescencehydrothermal synthesisUV ageingFe/N-TiO2visible-lightrhodamine Balkylalkoxysilaneelectron transport materialorganometalmagnetic materialstitanium dioxideZnOorganic light emitting diodes (OLEDs)tolueneTiO2 nanoparticlesDiamanti Maria Vittoriaauth1287867BOOK9910346685703321Novel Photoactive Materials3020500UNINA
