This Perspective discusses the advances of employing QDs for visible-light-driven organic transformations and provides an outlook for potential future directions in the field, including nanostructure engineering, ligand shell engineering, in situ comprehensive studies, and laboratory automation.
Quantum dots (QDs) with tunable photo-optical properties and colloidal nature are ideal for a wide range of photocatalytic reactions. In particular, QD photocatalysts for organic transformations can provide new and effective synthetic routes to high value-added molecules under mild conditions. In this Perspective, we discuss the advances of employing QDs for visible-light-driven organic transformations categorized into net reductive reactions, net oxidative reactions, and redox neutral reactions. We then provide our outlook for potential future directions in the field: nanostructure engineering to improve charge separation efficiencies, ligand shell engineering to optimize overall catalyst performance, in situ comprehensive studies to delineate underlying reaction mechanisms, and laboratory automation with the assistance of modern computing techniques to revolutionize the reaction optimization process.
