All-Inorganic Halide Perovskite Quantum Dots (QDs) have emerged as a new class of fascinating nanomaterials with outstanding optoelectronic properties, with promise to revolutionize different disciplines like photovoltaics, lasing and emission. In the present talk, we will describe our efforts towards the application of these materials for solar-driven processes spanning from photocatalysis, environmental remediation,[1] H2 production and organic transformations.[2] We will discuss on the rational design of these fascinating materials towards photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical processes, and the importance of extracting basic electronic and optical information to understand the carrier dynamics,[3] the influence of defect states and to define adequate defect passivation strategies to maximize the performance and stability of these materials.[4] Moreover, we emphasise the need for proper interrogation tools to validate their photoelectrocatalytic activity and selectivity. Our results also highlight the urgent need for stabilization strategies to move beyond the proof-of-concept stage to relevant technological developments.
