Abstract

Photoluminescence is a radiative recombination process of electron–hole pairs. Self-trapped excitons (STEs), occurring in a material with soft lattice and strong electron–phonon coupling, emit photons with broad spectrum and large Stokes shift. Recently, series halide perovskites with efficient STE emission have been reported and showed promise for solid-state lighting. In this Perspective, we present an overview of various photoluminescence phenomena with the emphasis on the mechanism and characteristics of emission derived from STEs. This is followed by the introduction of STE emission in hybrid halide perovskites. We then introduce all-inorganic STE emitters and focus in particular on the mechanism of STEs…
