ABSTRACT
Prolonging hot carrier cooling, a crucial factor in optoelectronic applications, including hot carrier photovoltaics, presents a significant challenge. High-energy band-nesting excitons within parallel bands offer a promising and underexplored avenue for addressing this issue. Here, we exploit an exceptional D exciton cooling prolongation of 2 to 3 orders of magnitude compared to sub-picosecond in typical transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) owing to the complex Coulomb environment and the sequential and mismatch-valley relaxation. Simultaneously, the intervalley scattering upconversion of band-edge excitons with the slow D exciton formation in the metastable Γ valley/hill also reduces the cooling rate. We successfully extract D and C excitons as hot carriers through integrating with various thicknesses of TiOx, achieving the highest efficiency of 98% and 85% at a Ti thickness of 2 nm. Our findings highlight the potential of band-nesting excitons for extending hot carrier cooling time, paving the way for advancements in hot carrier-based optoelectronic devices.
