In recent years, hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites have been widely studied for the low-cost fabrication of a wide range optoelectronic devices, including impressive perovskite-based solar cells. Amongst key factors influencing performance these efforts focused on tailoring granularity and microstructure perovskite films. Albeit, cost-effective technique allowing to carefully control their in ambient environmental conditions has not realized. We report solvent-antisolvent processed...

Abstract Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites have shown exceptional semiconducting properties and microstructural versatility for inexpensive, solution‐processable photovoltaic optoelectronic devices. In this work, an all‐solution‐based technique in ambient environment highly sensitive high‐speed flexible photodetectors using high crystal quality perovskite nanowires grown on Kapton substrate is presented. At 10 V, the optimized photodetector exhibits a responsivity as 0.62 A W −1 , maximum...

This study examined the consequences of surface carboxylation multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on bioactivity. Since commercial raw MWCNT contain impurities that may affect their bioactivity, HCl refluxing was exploited to purify "as-received" by removing amorphous layer and reducing metal (e.g. Ni). The removal confirmed Raman spectroscopy thermogravimetric analysis. Furthermore, HCl-purified provided more available reaction sites, leading enhanced sidewall functionalization. further...

Pulsed laser ablation for the direct synthesis of single-wall carbon nanotube/PbS-quantumdot(SWCNT/PbS-QD) nanohybrids is demonstrated. The latitude developed pulsed deposition process permits not only control size PbS-QDs but also straightforward integration these novel SWCNT/PbS-QD into photoconductive (PC) devices. Thus, by optimizing nanohybrid characteristics, PC devices exhibiting fast strong photoresponse (as high as 1350% at 405 nm) are achieved.

Abstract Organic-inorganic perovskites have already shown a tremendous potential for low-cost light-harvesting devices. Yet, the relatively low carrier mobilities in bulk still prevent large-area devices with performances competing state-of-the-art technologies. Here, we tackle this fundamental challenge by incorporating single-wall carbon nanotubes within perovskite matrix means of simple two-step method ambient air. Using nano-engineered hybrid film, demonstrate photodetectors...
