Time-Resolved Dynamics of Metal Halide Perovskite under High Pressure: Recent Progress and Challenges

Metal halide perovskites have garnered significant attention in the scientific community for their promising applications in optoelectronic devices. The application of pressure engineering, a viable technique, has played a crucial role in substantially improving the optoelectronic characteristics of perovskites. Despite notable progress in understanding ground-state structural changes under high pressure, a comprehensive exploration of excited-state dynamics influencing luminescence remains incomplete. This Perspective delves into recent advances in time-resolved dynamics studies of photoexcited metal halide perovskites under high pressure. With a focus on the intricate interplay between structural alterations and electronic properties, we investigate electron-phonon interactions, carrier transport mechanisms, and the influential roles of self-trapped excitons (STEs) and coherent phonons in luminescence. However, significant challenges persist, notably the need for more advanced measurement techniques and a deeper understanding of the phenomena induced by high pressure in perovskites.
