Quantum Solutions is a nanotech startup company based in the UK and originally founded at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia.

Quantum Solutions develops quantum dot materials and technology for image sensors applications. It provides QDot-branded quantum dots and helps to integrate them with silicon sensor technologies to detect the light beyond the visible spectrum. These wide range image sensors enable to capture images that would be invisible to the naked eye: from lower energy short wave infrared (SWIR) and middle wave infrared (MWIR) ranges to higher energy UV and X-ray lights.

Quantum Solutions has a range of QDs based on perovskite materials.

William Blythe, a wholly owned subsidiary of Synthomer PLC, is a manufacturer of inorganic speciality chemicals and advanced materials. WB's portfolio currently covers perovskite metal halide pre-cursor salts (more specifically - high purity lead iodide and stannous iodide), as well as iodine, Tin, Copper and Tungsten derivatives as well as advanced materials, among others Graphene Oxide.

Other activity in the perovskite arena is in R&D stages, but the Company is setup to produce many mixed metal oxides with perovskite structure at industrial scale and can work with companies for their specific needs.

Application areas that William Blythe focuses on are Catalysts, Coatings, Electronics, Life Sciences, Pigment, Polymer Additives, and many others.

Founded in 1845 and based in Accrington, England, WB's manufacturing capabilities extend from laboratory scale to multi thousand tonne manufacturing plants.

GSA is a Japan-based chemical company which performs R&D of advanced cutting edge materials, especially in the field of energy and environmental science.

These materials also include perovskite quantum dots, and can be applied to solar cell, rechargeable battery technologies, capacitors, fuel cells, thermoelectric devices and more.

Switzerland-based Avantama AG (previously called NanoGrade) is specialized in the development and supply of printable and coatable materials for the manufacturing of optical or electronic thin films. Avantam's materials are based on liquid formulations and inks containing semiconducting metal oxides or luminescent perovskite quantum dots.

Avantama’s QDs show several differences when compared to other commercial QDs (CdSe and InP): the chemical composition is based on metal halide perovskites such as e.g. CsPbBr₃, the QD color is mainly controlled by the chemical composition and not by the QD size, no additional inorganic shell is needed for high quantum efficiency and stability and more.

Avantama states that its metal halide perovskite QDs yield the highest possible quantum efficiencies of > 95% which will result in best peak brightness of LCD displays.

Founded in Taiwan in 2014, FrontMaterials is a technology company focusing on the commercialization of perovskite photovoltaics and dedicated to the scale up of perovskite materials and solar module. FrontMaterials provides a series of high quality perovskite and organic optoelectronic materials for research.

FrontMaterials' technology aims to enable promising applications including novel integration between electronics and photovoltaic modules, building-integrated photovoltaics, tandem integration with conventional silicon solar system, etc.

The technology looks to be light weight, flexible, thin, colorful, semi-transparent, and most importantly, based on high-speed printing and low-cost manufacturing. FrontMaterials is now in partnership with acdemia and industry worldwide.

Sefar AG (Switzerland) produces highly conductive, transparent and robust electrode materials for large area optoelectronics. These electrodes, containing fine metallic wires are suitable for printed and evaporated devices such as flexible OLEDs and various types of solar cells, including perovskite-based ones.

The Sefar electrodes can either be used as a substrate (to coat on it), as a grid-fabric (to laminate on top of a device), or even as a tandem-substrate (conductive on both sides).

DOWA Electronics Materials was established in Japan in October 2006 as a company specializing in the electronics materials businesses, being spun off from DOWA Mining Co., Ltd. that was established as a mining and smelting company in 1884.

DOWA Electronics Materials has produced products that hold a top share of their respective world markets with the high added values and is classified divided into three major businesses; semiconductor business, electronics materials business, and advanced fine materials business.

DOWA produces, as part of its advanced materials unit, various kinds of metal powders like ferrite and iron powders, and is now developing complex oxide powders as a new field. Its perovskite-type complex oxide powder (SOFC) are various oxides that can be used as the materials for electrodes and electrolytes. It can also be used for exhaust gas purification catalyst and OSC material.

Heliatek was spun-off in 2006 from the Technical University of Dresden (IAPP) and the University of Ulm. The company’s founding brought together internationally renowned experts in the fields of organic optoelectronics and oligomer synthesis. As the global technology leader in the field of organic photovoltaics (OPV), the company aims to help shape a sustainable solar future.

Heliatek's 4 core focuses are: materials development, OPV business development, stack architechture (organic electronics) and R2R production. Its stated vision is to push forward advanced and sustainable energy solutions in everyday life. Heliatek is making the transition from technology development to industrial manufacturing. Its goal is to produce organic solar films in volume in the near future.

Heliatek's business model is to supply custom-designed HeliaFilm® to partners mainly in the building and automotive industry. Together with its partners, Heliatek develops ready-to-market products for the respective market segments. In its first pilot projects, Heliatek successfully combined its solar film with materials like glass, concrete, and PVC membrane.

Borun was established in 2004 and is a professional manufacturer of Perovskite Solar Cell, Organic Optoelectronic Material (OPV), Dye-Sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and their Intermediate and Reagents in china. Among its customers are MERCK, TCI, and more.

The company deals with Perovskite Precursors and relative products of the Perovskite Precursor, and claims to offer the chemical industry's best quality Perovskite Precursors for the Solid State Dye Solar Cell technology. All Borun Perovskite Precursors provide guaranteed performance, high reproducibility, stable/consistent results, and are of the highest purity.
