Interest in quantum materials has been heightened due to the global demand for efficient and sustainable power solutions. Quantum materials, which exhibit distinct electronic, spin, and topological properties, have transformational potential in developing energy conversion processes through photovoltaic, thermoelectric, and piezoelectric systems. The present paper is an overview of the latest findings on the utilization and manufacturing of quantum materials, topological insulators, graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and perovskite-based materials. They can control the transport of charges, heat, and spin at a quantum level, unlocking new possibilities in the effort to realize energy efficiency and device miniaturization to a superior degree. Particular emphasis is placed on the processes through which quantum confinement, edge states, and spin-orbit coupling yield a higher energy harvesting performance. Issues of material synthesis, stability, and integration are also brought up, and the prospects of a scalable and environmentally friendly form of energy are also mentioned. The current co-authored work is intended to give a complete insight into how quantum materials can be used to fashion the future of energy harvesting technology.
