Abstract
As promising low-dimensional semiconductor materials, cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite-like nanowires (NWs) can be widely applied to the field of semiconductor devices and integrated optoelectronics. Therefore, developing a facile and efficient synthesis method of cesium lead halide perovskite-like NWs can bring both fundamental and practical impacts to the field of optoelectronics. Here, we developed a synthesis strategy of all-inorganic cesium lead halide CsPbI3 perovskite-like NWs under catalyst-free, solution-phase, and low-temperature conditions. The synthesis strategy was designed such that no inert gas is required and thus enables the synthesis to be carried out in air, which significantly reduces temperature, steps, time, and cost required for the reaction. The as-synthesized NWs were 7 μm in length and 80–100 nm in diameter with ideal morphology. Most of the CsPbI3 NWs were crystallized in orthorhombic phases that were arranged orderly with a uniform growth direction. In addition, the CsPbI3 NWs showed a photoluminescence peak near 610 nm and the fluorescence lifetime was 7.34 ns. The photoluminescence mechanism of CsPbI3 NWs involves the self-trapping behaviour in the radiative recombination process. The composition of CsPbI3 NWs is highly related to the synthesis temperature. The facile synthesis strategy has opened up a novel path for the synthesis of perovskite-like NWs, laying the foundation for the application of nano-optoelectronic devices, fluorescent anti-counterfeiting, and fluorescent composite materials.
