Graphical Abstract

Caught in a trap: A series of new double perovskite nanocrystals Cs2AgSb1−yBiyX6 (X: Br, Cl; 0≤y≤1) is synthesized. Intrinsic self-trapping (ca. 1–2 ps) arising from giant carrier–phonon scattering and surface-defect trapping (ca. 50–100 ps) are revealed. Slow hot-carrier cooling is observed at high pump fluence.

Abstract

A series of lead-free double perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) Cs2AgSb1−yBiyX6 (X: Br, Cl; 0≤y≤1) is synthesized. In particular, the Cs2AgSbBr6 NCs is a new double perovskite material that has not been reported for the bulk form. Mixed Ag–Sb/Bi NCs exhibit enhanced stability in colloidal solution compared to Ag–Bi or Ag–Sb NCs. Femtosecond transient absorption studies indicate the presence of two prominent fast trapping processes in the charge-carrier relaxation. The two fast trapping processes are dominated by intrinsic self-trapping (ca. 1–2 ps) arising from giant exciton–phonon coupling and surface-defect trapping (ca. 50–100 ps). Slow hot-carrier relaxation is observed at high pump fluence, and the possible mechanisms for the slow hot-carrier relaxation are also discussed.
