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. 610 $aphoto-oxidation 610 $asilver phosphate 610 $alow power white-light LED irradiation 610 $aartificial rain 610 $adensity functional theory (DFT) 610 $adegradation 610 $aphotocatalytic 610 $ahybrid nanomaterials 610 $aband gap modification 610 $aphotodeposition 610 $aperovskite solar cell 610 $atitanium oxide 610 $atitanium(IV) oxo-clusters 610 $aphoto-oxidative degradation 610 $aconfocal microscope 610 $acomposite materials 610 $a4-chlorophenol 610 $aanodizing 610 $abroadband spectra 610 $aphotoactivity 610 $adurability 610 $abio-based substances 610 $aphoto Fenton 610 $acrystallinity 610 $ananostructured materials 610 $ahydrothermal 610 $aTiO2 610 $aadvanced oxidation processes 610 $acharge dynamics 610 $amechanical property 610 $aCH3
