Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have many advantages of heterogeneous and homogeneous photocatalysts for reactions relevant to energy conversion and organic synthesis. This talk focuses on how the surface chemistry of the particle can be tuned to promote selectivity for certain reaction pathways and regio- and diastereoselectivity of products for organic reactions such as alcohol oxidation and carbon-carbon coupling; and the formation of colloidally stable assemblies for energy and charge funneling, for multi-electron reactions such as proton and CO2 reduction.
