Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites demonstrate desirable photophysical behaviors and promising applications from efficient photovoltaics to lasing, but the fundamental nature of excited state species is still under debate. We collected time-resolved photoluminescence of single-crystal nanoplates of methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (MAPbI₃) with excitation over a range of fluences and repetition rates to provide a more complete photophysical picture. A fundamentally different way of simulating the photophysics is developed that relies on unnormalized decays, global analysis over a large array of conditions, and inclusion of steady-state behavior; these details are critical to capturing observed behaviors. These additional constraints require inclusion of spatially correlated pairs along with free carriers and traps, demonstrating the importance of our comprehensive analysis. Modeling geminate and nongeminate pathways shows that geminate processes are dominant at high carrier densities and early times and that geminate recombination is catalyzed by free holes. Our combination of data and simulation provides a detailed picture of perovskite photophysics across multiple excitation regimes that was not previously available.
