Organic-inorganic halide perovskite semiconductors with the attractive physics properties, including strong photoluminescence (PL), huge oscillator strengths, and low nonradiative recombination losses, are ideal candidates for studying the light-matter interaction in nanostructures. Here, we demonstrate the coupling of the exciton state and the cavity mode in the lead halide perovskite microcavity system at room temperature. The Purcell effect in the coupling system is clearly observed by using angle-resolved photoluminescence spectra. Kinetic analysis based on time-resolved PL reveals that the spontaneous emission rate of the halide perovskite semiconductor is significantly enhanced at resonance of the exciton energy and the cavity mode. Our results provide the way for developing electrically driven organic polariton lasers, optical devices, and on-chip coherent quantum light sources.
The time evolution of the current–voltage characteristic of planar heterojunction perovskite solar cell (PSC) is studied within an operating temperature range of 200–325 K. The photovoltaic (PV) performance of PSC is found to be influenced by five carrier transport pathways, which strongly depend on operating temperature and light illumination. At low temperature, a severe degradation of PV performance is presented but temporary. This is attributed to ion accumulation at the TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3 and hole transport material/CH3NH3PbI3 interfacial regions, as an origin of screening effect of built‐in field, evidenced by the low external quantum efficiency (EQE). By light illumination at open‐circuit, a steady PV performance will be reached and the stabilization time increases with decreasing temperature. The recovery of PV performance is attributed to ion diffusion in CH3NH3PbI3 layer in the absence of electric field. The EQE observations indicate that photogenerated carriers are separated and collected efficiently after a long time light illumination due to a reduction of the screening effect. At high temperature, because of the low ion density at interfacial regions, the PV performance shows a quick response to light. These findings may help understanding of the mechanism of temperature‐dependent photogenerated carrier transport in the PSC.
