This study explores the impact of A-site cation cross-exchange on hot-carrier relaxation dynamics in perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), crucial for advancing photovoltaic technologies. Using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, it shows that alloyed PQDs exhibit longer lifetimes in the slow cooling stage due to co-vibrational optical phonon modes, enhancing the hot-phonon bottleneck effect and acoustic phonon upconversion.
