This talk will examine ways in which colloidal nanocrystals can be used in solar energy harvesting.  A key theme will be that nanocrystals become more useful when their quantum yield for photoluminescence is very high.  Under these conditions, colloidal quantum dot nanocrystals have good prospects for use in both photochemistry and photovoltaics.
