We examine the process of energy transfer (ET) from photoactive CdSe/ZnS core/shell NQDs into lead-halide perovskite polycrystalline films as a function of distance from the perovskite surface using time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectroscopy. We demonstrate near-field electromagnetic coupling between vastly dissimilar excitation in two materials that can reach an efficiency of 99% at room temperature. Our experimental results, combined with electrodynamics modeling, reveal the leading role of non-radiative ET at close distances, augmented by the waveguide emission coupling and light reabsorption at separations >10 nm. These results open the way to combining materials with different dimensionalities to achieve novel nanoscale architectures with improved photovoltaic and light emitting functionalities.en©2017 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
