Direct experimental evidence for photoinduced strong-coupling polarons in organolead halide perovskite nanoparticles
Abstract
Echoing the roaring success of their bulk coun-terparts, nano-objects built from organolead halide perov-skites (OLHP) present bright prospects for surpassing the performances of their conventional organic and inorganic analogues in photodriven technologies. Unraveling the pho-toinduced charge dynamics is essential for optimizing OLHP optoelectronic functionalities. However, mapping the carri-er-lattice interactions remains challenging, owing to their manifestations on multiple length scales and time scales. By correlating ultrafast time-resolved optical and X-ray absorp-tion measurements, this work reveals the photoinduced formation of strong-coupling polarons in CH3NH3PbBr3 nanoparticles. Such polarons originate from the self-trapping of electrons in the net Coulombic field caused by the dis-placed inorganic nuclei and the oriented organic cations. The transient structural change detected at the Pb L3 X-ray ab-sorption edge is well captured by a distortion with average bond elongation in the [PbBr6]2- motif. As a result, general implications for designing novel OLHP nanomaterials targeting the active utilization of these quasi-particles are outlined.
