“…For instance, perovskite NCs with better suppression of HC trapping by defects (e.g., benzoyl or benzyltreated perovskites NCs with higher PL quantum yields [104,105] or core/shell NCs [106] ) will result in slower HC cooling as a result of the intrinsic phonon bottleneck especially at low pump fluence. are candidates to exploit the confinement effects on the carriers, excitons, and phonons.…”

rapidly (within hundreds of femtoseconds), making HCs extraction extremely challenging. A reduced HC cooling rate in solar absorbers is therefore a key material criterion for realizing HCSC.Halide perovskites possess novel slow HC cooling properties favorable for development as HCSC. Since the first reports of slow HC cooling (≈0.4 ps) in MAPbI 3 polycrystalline thin films, [7,8] there have been growing interests about this novel phenomenon. Li et al. reported a drastic slowdown of HC cooling by a further two orders in MAPbBr 3 colloidal nanocrystals (≈30 ps) at high pump fluence and demonstrated efficient (≈83%) extraction of HCs with an energy-selective organic layer. [9] Long HC transport lengths (≈600 nm) in MAPbI 3 thin films were visualized by Huang et al. [10] These exciting findings forebode the potential of perovskite HCSCs that could dramatically boost perovskite solar cell efficiencies beyond their SQ limits. Presently, the origins and mechanisms of slow HC cooling in halide perovskites remain fragmented and confusing with disparate models being proposed. A clear understanding of the intrinsic photophysics of HC cooling is essential for further technological developments.In this review, we examine the milestones and advancements of slow HC cooling in halide perovskites and distill their photophysical mechanisms. We begin with a brief introduction of the operation principles of HCSCs and carrier relaxation processes, followed by highlighting the seminal experimental and theoretical works on slow HC cooling in halide perovskites, before explicating their origins and mechanisms. A developmental toolbox for engineering slow HC cooling in halide perovskites and developing new perovskite materials with slower HC cooling will also be discussed. Lastly, we highlight the challenges and opportunities for perovskite HCSCs. How Hot Carriers Can Be Used?We begin with a quick overview of the several concepts for highefficiency solar cells. Figure 1a illustrates the energy band diagram of a typical single junction solar cell with its major energy loss processes following light illumination. [11,12] In all solar cells, photons possessing energies greater than the semiconductor bandgap can create free carriers or excitons with excess energies above the bandgap. These carriers or excitons with a temperature higher than the lattice temperature are termed "hot Rapid hot-carrier cooling is a major loss channel in solar cells. Thermodynamic calculations reveal a 66% solar conversion efficiency for single junction cells (under 1 sun illumination) if these hot carriers are harvested before cooling to the lattice temperature. A reduced hot-carrier cooling rate for efficient extraction is a key enabler to this disruptive technology. Recently, halide perovskites emerge as promising candidates with favorable hot-carrier properties: slow hot-carrier cooling lifetimes several orders of magnitude longer than conventional solar cell absorbers, longrange hot-carrier transport (up to ≈600 nm), and highly efficient hot-carrier extractio...

Colloidal perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) combine the outstanding optoelectronic properties of bulk perovskites with strong quantum confinement effects at the nanoscale. Their facile and low‐cost synthesis, together with superior photoluminescence quantum yields and exceptional optical versatility, make PNCs promising candidates for next‐generation optoelectronics. However, this field is still in its early infancy and not yet ready for commercialization due to several open challenges to be addressed, such as toxicity and stability. Here, the key synthesis strategies and the tunable optical properties of PNCs are discussed. The photophysical underpinnings of PNCs, in correlation with recent developments of PNC‐based optoelectronic devices, are especially highlighted. The final goal is to outline a theoretical scaffold for the design of high‐performance devices that can at the same time address the commercialization challenges of PNC‐based technology.

In recent years, metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have been favored by many researchers due to their unique properties including long carrier diffusion length, high carrier mobility, tunable emission wavelength, and narrow full width at half maximum, making them great application potentials in optoelectronic devices. The photoluminescence quantum yields of perovskite NCs are nearly 100%, and the device efficiency of perovskite NC‐based light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) has been improved significantly from below 0.1% to over 20%. In addition, perovskite NC‐based solar cells and photodetectors have also developed rapidly in recent years. Here, we summarize the synthesis and the basic optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskite NCs and introduce their applications in LEDs, solar cells, and photodetectors.
