Temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra and decay dynamics of MAPbBr3 and MAPbI3 thin films

2018 
The steady-state spectra and fluorescence lifetimes are investigated under vacuum for methylammonium lead bromide and iodide (CH3NH3PbBr3 or MAPbBr3, and CH3NH3PbI3 or MAPbI3) thin films by stably controlling the sample temperature in the range of 78 K to 320 K. The transformation of spectrum features and lifetime components are proved to be quite sensitive to the temperatures in accordance with the phase transition of structures. Our work demonstrates that the halide anions I- and Br- lead to remarkable differences on optical characteristics. Due to the distinct behaviors of excitons, electron-hole pairs and free carriers in decay channels, MAPbI3 has much longer lifetime and higher low-temperature fluorescence efficiency than those of MAPbBr3. The findings provide possible choices for certain perovskites under various ambient temperature conditions to display photovoltaic or luminescent advantage.
