Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites represent the natural semiconductor quantum wells (QWs), which hold great promise for optoelectronics. However, due to the hybrid structure of Ruddlesden-Popper 2D perovskites, the intrinsic nature of hot-carrier kinetics remains shielded within. Herein, we adopt CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> nanoplates as a model system to reveal the intrinsic carrier dynamics in inorganic perovskite QWs. Interestingly, we revealed an ultrafast and hot-phonon-bottleneck (HPB)-free carrier cooling in monodisperse CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> QWs, which is in sharp contrast to the bulk and nanocrystalline perovskites. The absence of HPB was attributed to the efficient out-of-plane triplet-exciton-LO-phonon coupling in 2D perovskites because of the structural anisotropy. Accordingly, the HPB can be activated by shutting down the out-of-plane energy loss route through forming the layer-stacked perovskite superlattice. The controllable on and off of HPB may provide new possibilities in optoelectronic devices and these findings deepen the understanding of a hot-carrier cooling mechanism in 2D perovskites.
