“…However, as the temperature continues rising, the PL intensity becomes weaker, which can be attributed to the effect of thermal quenching. [
32,33 ] The thermal activation energy of SnP 2 S 6 is deduced to be 148 meV according to the Arrhenius equation as follows: [ 31 ]
where I 0 , T , k B, and E a refer to PL intensity at 0 K, temperature, Boltzmann constant, and thermal activation energy, respectively. Such a large E a in the SnP 2 S 6 can be explained for the efficient STEs emission at ambient temperature.…”
