Growth of 1D Carbon Nanotube@Perovskite Core-Shell van der Waals Heterostructures through Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Perovskite is an emerging material with immense potential in the field of optoelectronics. 1D perovskite nanowires are crucial building blocks for the development of optoelectronic devices. However, producing perovskite nanowires with high quality and controlled alignment is challenging. In this study, the direct epitaxial growth of perovskite on oriented carbon nanotube (CNT) templates is presented through a chemical vapor deposition method. The deposition process of lead iodide and methylammonium iodide is systematically investigated, and a layer plus island growth mechanism is proposed to interpret the experimental observations. The aligned long CNTs serve as 1D templates and allow the growth of CNT@perovskite core-shell heterostructure with a high aspect ratio to withstand large deformation. The obtained 1D perovskite materials can be easily manipulated and transferred, enabling the facile preparation of microscale flexible devices. For proof of concept, a photodetector based on an individual CNT@methylammonium lead iodide heterostructure is fabricated. This work provides a new approach to prepare 1D hetero-nanostructure and may inspire the design of novel flexible nanophotodetectors.
