All-Inorganic Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals (QDs) have emerged as a new class of fascinating nanomaterials with outstanding optoelectronic properties, with promise to revolutionize different fields like photovoltaics, lasing and emission. In the present talk, we will describe our efforts towards the application of these materials for solar-driven hydrogen production coupled to other processes like organic transformations and waste valorization.[1-2] We will discuss on the rational design of these fascinating materials towards photoelectrochemical processes, and the importance of extracting basic electronic and optical information to understand the carrier dynamics,[3] the influence of trap states and to define adequate defect passivation strategies to maximize the performance and stability of these materials.[4] Moreover, proper interrogation tools are needed to validate their photoelectrocatalytic activity and selectivity. The need for integration of the developed materials into tailored photoelectrochemical devices highlight the urgent need for stabilization strategies to move beyond the proof-of-concept stage to relevant technological developments.

The project leading to this communication has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under agreement No 101071010.
