Semiconductor–metal heterostructures such as CsPbBr₃–Au are useful in photocatalysis. When Au nanoparticles are deposited on the CsPbBr₃ nanocrystal surface, they efficiently quench the photoluminescence of the semiconductor. This process has been studied by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy measurements, which indicate that electron transfer to the Au nanoparticles occurs from both hot and relaxed electrons in the conduction band of CsPbBr₃. The electron transfer rate constant is much larger for the hot electrons compared to the relaxed electrons. Under steady state photoirradiation of CsPbBr₃–Au heterostructure, the photogenerated electrons from the excited CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals continue to charge the Au nanoparticles. After sufficient irradiation, the gold nanoparticles dissociate from the CsPbBr₃ surface and aggregate into larger size gold nanoparticles. The expulsion of gold nanoparticles restores the original luminescence behavior of CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals. The spectroscopic and morphological studies provide insight into the expulsion of gold nanoparticles in photoirradiated CsPbBr₃–Au heterostructures.
