The mechanism responsible for the extremely long photoluminescence (PL) lifetimes observed in many lead halide perovskites is still under debate. While presence of trap states widely accepted, process electron detrapping back to emissive state has been mostly ignored, especially from deep traps as these are typically associated with nonradiative recombination.
