Charge carrier dynamics and transient spectral evolutions in lead halide perovskites

Abstract

Lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have emerged as promising materials for solar cell applications due to their unique photophysical properties. Most of the crucial properties related to solar cell performance such as carrier mobility, diffusion length, recombination rates, etc. have been estimated using ultrafast spectroscopic methods. While various methods have been developed to prepare and fabricate high-quality perovskite films for photovoltaic applications, understanding the charge carrier dynamics is also crucial at each stage of the charge generation, cooling, and recombination processes. Using femtosecond (fs) transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy, various stages of charge carrier dynamics in perovskite materials could be monitored. In this article, we focus on some of the recent experimental developments related to charge carrier dynamics in perovskites and discuss the current understanding of (1) exciton dissociation, (2) charge carrier thermalization, (3) hot carrier cooling, and (4) electron–phonon coupling along with some of the crucial spectral emergence in the pump–probe experiments of LHP materials.
