The Journal of Physical Chemistry and Functional Materials (JPCFM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research and developments in a wide range of disciplines. The journal covers topics such as analytical methods, astrochemistry, biochemistry, composite materials, computational methods, energy production, gas phase reactions, green chemistry, kinetics and dynamics, materials science, mathematical physics, medical physics, molecular structure, nanoscience, nanostructures, natural sciences, nuclear structure and modeling, optical materials, optoelectronic applications, optoelectronic materials, organic semiconductors, polymer science, quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, structural materials, surface and interface studies, surface chemistry, thermodynamics, and theoretical advances. The journal is published twice a year, with issues in June and December.

JPCFM prioritizes quality and impact as key criteria for publication. Submissions must present work that has a significant impact on the advancement of scientific knowledge. Experimental studies should provide results that directly inform or validate theoretical models, while theoretical advances or innovative computational methods should provide tangible insights or applications for experimental research. Manuscripts that merely extend existing work modestly or incrementally are not considered suitable for publication. Instead, the journal seeks submissions that present unique and comprehensive data, address critical gaps in the respective fields, and push the boundaries of current understanding.

 

JPCFM publishes a variety of article types to meet different research needs and academic contributions:

1- Communications
Short and impactful articles reporting significant breakthroughs or novel findings within the scope of the journal. These concise papers are designed to communicate urgent and important results to the scientific community on time. Communications prioritize clarity and brevity while maintaining rigorous standards.

2- Research articles
Full-length articles presenting detailed and original research. These papers delve deeply into experimental, theoretical, or computational methods, results, and analyses, providing in-depth discussions that contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields.

3- Reviews
In-depth articles that summarise and critically analyze the current state of research in a particular area. Reviews provide a balanced overview of recent advances, highlight key challenges, and suggest potential directions for future work, serving as a valuable resource for both new and established researchers.

By offering these formats, JPCFM provides a platform for the dissemination of groundbreaking discoveries, detailed investigations, and comprehensive overviews, thus fostering a lively exchange of ideas within the scientific community.
