Abstract
We investigate the carrier dynamics of strongly confined cesium lead iodide (CsPbI<sub>3</sub>) nanowires and compare them with weakly confined quantum dots (QDs) to understand how dimensionality affects recombination processes. Using time-resolved photoluminescence and ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, we find that nanowires exhibit a 5× faster recombination rate and more rapid carrier cooling than QDs. These differences are attributed to enhanced carrier interactions with trap states. Although nanowires exhibit slightly enhanced radiative rates as a result of confinement, their photoluminescence quantum yield remains relatively low, 23 ± 8%, due to competition from nonradiative recombination processes that occur at a faster rate. These findings highlight a dimensionality-dependent trade-off between radiative efficiency and nonradiative losses, providing insight into the limitations and opportunities for low-dimensional perovskite nanostructures. Our results establish design principles for tailoring CsPbI<sub>3</sub> nanocrystal dimensionality to optimize optical performance in optoelectronic applications such as LEDs and solar cells.
