Abstract
We investigate the ultrafast cooling and extraction dynamics of hot carriers (HCs) in red-emitting CsPbI3 perovskite nanocrystals using femtosecond upconversion spectroscopy. Time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) at the red emission wavelength reveals an ∼830 fs rise component under far band-edge excitation (λex ≈ 405 nm), which accelerates to ∼520 fs with near band-edge excitation (λex ≈ 430 nm), consistent with cooling phenomena. Upon the addition of benzoquinone (BQ), these rise time scales shorten to ≤330 fs, suggesting that cooling is at least partially complete prior to charge transfer. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy reveals that the nanocrystal–BQ complexation reaction occurs on a significantly slower time scale (∼570 μs), confirming that the ultrafast extraction process is complete when the complex remains intact. Our study reveals the intrinsic time scale of HC transfer in the CsPbI3 nanocrystal–BQ composite and offers key mechanistic insights into their harvesting, highlighting the potential of CsPbI3 perovskite materials for high-efficiency photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications.
