Abstract

Cs3Cu2I5 perovskite displays a Stokes-shifted photoluminescence (PL) at 445 nm, attributed to the self-trapped excitons (STEs). Unlike that observed in other perovskite materials, the free-exciton emission is not evidenced in this case. Herein, we reveal the existence of a short-lived high-energy emission centered around 375 nm through the reconstruction of time-resolved emission spectra (TRES), which is independent of the shape/size of Cs3Cu2I5 perovskite. This high-energy emission is proposed to originate from the free-exciton-derived distorted S1 state of the 0D Cs3Cu2I5 moiety. Moreover, STE PL (∼445 nm) was found to have phosphorescence characteristics. Theoretical calculation confirms a facile intersystem crossing at the Franck-Condon geometry, indicating the high lifetime of the STE and its triplet nature. The existence of a high-energy emissive state and the phosphorescent nature of the STE PL band provide valuable insights that could advance our understanding of the photophysics in these materials.
