Quantum Dots (QDs) have been used to improve or generate new catalytic pathways in semiconductor photocatalysis. In addition, carbon, nitrogen, and graphene-modified QDs have great potential in electrochemical technologies. They can replace expensive noble metal electrocatalysts for water electrolysis, fuel cells, and waste valorization, resulting in cheaper, more efficient, and resilient devices.
