Summary/Abstract: 
Q-Solutions proposes a multidisciplinary and multilevel study of low dimensional quantum materials from their fundamental properties, to the final optoelectronic device optimization, considering also the synthesis, the surface functionalization, the systematic characterization, the synergies with other materials, the development of industrial friendly deposition techniques and the life cycle sustainability assessment of the different devices, including cost, social and environmental impact and recyclability facing to the sustainability of the final device and system. The project is focused mostly in halide perovskite nanocrystals due to the relatively easy synthesis, the versatility of this family of materials, making it possible to tune the band gap in near IR, visible and UV, and their very high PLQY. However, other families of quantum dots (QDs) as chalcogenides or IV-VI semiconductor will be also investigated locking for synergies in combination with halide perovskites, Q-Solutions is applied to the fabrication of solar cells (e.g. agrivoltaics), LEDs and photocatalytic systems (e.g. decontamination and solar fuel production.). Final devices and application will be analyzed by life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) looking for reducing environmental impacts and production cost.
