Recently, all-inorganic halide perovskites have received enormous attention because of their excellent optoelectronic properties. Among them, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of all-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells has made rapid progress in the last few years. However, understanding the intrinsic physical nature of halide perovskites, especially the dynamic process of photo-generated carriers, is a key for improving the PCE. In this review, we introduced and summarized the photoluminescence (PL) technique used to explore the carrier dynamic process in all-inorganic halide perovskites. Several physical models were proposed to investigate the dynamic parameters, i.e., recombination lifetime and diffusion length, by analyzing the steady-state PL as well as the time-resolved PL spectra. We also discussed the distinction of PL spectral behavior between bulk halide perovskite samples and those grown with transport layers due to the participation of different dominant dynamic paths. Finally, we briefly described some other optical techniques reported to study the relevant physical properties of all-inorganic halide perovskites.
