Cs 2 TiI  y  Br 6- y  is a potential light absorption material for all-inorganic lead free perovskite solar cells due to its suitable and tunable bandgap, high optical absorption coefficient and high environmental stability. However, solar cells fabricated based on Cs 2 TiI  y  Br 6- y  do not perform well, and the reasons for their low efficiency are still unclear. Herein, hot carrier relaxation processes in Cs 2 TiI  y  Br 6- y  ( y = 0, 2 and 6) were investigated by a time-domain density functional theory combined with the non-adiabatic molecular dynamics method. It was found that the relaxation time of the hot carriers in Cs 2 TiI  y  Br 6- y  ranges from 2-3 ps, which indicates that the hot carriers within 10 nm from the Cs 2 TiI  y  Br 6- y  /TiO 2 interface can be effectively extracted before their energy is lost completely. The carrier-phonon non-adiabatic coupling (NAC) analyses demonstrate that the longer hot electron relaxation time in Cs 2 TiI 2 Br 4 compared with that in Cs 2 TiBr 6 and Cs 2 TiI 6 originates from its weaker NAC strength. Furthermore, the electron-phonon interaction analyses indicate that the relaxation of hot electrons mainly comes from the coupling between the electrons distributed on the Ti-X bonds and the Ti-X vibrations, and that of hot holes can be attributed to the coupling between the electrons distributed on the X atoms and the distortions of [TiI  y  Br 6- y  ] 2- . The simulation results indicate that Cs 2 TiI 2 Br 4 should be better than Cs 2 TiBr 6 and Cs 2 TiI 6 to act as a light absorption layer based on the hot carrier energy loss, and the hot electron relaxation time in Cs 2 TiI  y  Br 6- y  can be adjusted by tuning the proportion of the I element.
