“…Two commonly adopted techniques to comprehend the delocalization of conduction band electrons in HNSs are time-resolved transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy and single photon counting. By adopting these spectroscopic techniques, exciton delocalization efficiency in type I and quasi-type II systems has been demonstrated by various groups. − In addition, theoretical methods, and spectroelectrochemical and scanning tunneling spectroscopic techniques have been adopted to understand exciton delocalization in HNSs. − Since the direct exciton recombination is highly dependent on the electron–hole wave function overlap, the extent of delocalization can be extracted from their photoluminescence (PL) lifetime. However, HNSs often exhibit multiple charge carrier recombination pathways, such as band-edge- and trap-mediated recombinations.…”
