Currently, one-dimensional all-inorganic CsPbX (X = Br, Cl, and I) perovskites have attracted great attention, owning to their promising and exciting applications in optoelectronic devices. Herein, we reported the exploration of superior photodetectors (PDs) based on a single CsPbI nanorod. The as-constructed PDs had a totally excellent performance with a responsivity of 2.92 × 10 A·W and an ultrafast response time of 0.05 ms, respectively, which were both comparable to the best ones ever reported for all-inorganic perovskite PDs. Furthermore, the detectivity of the PDs approached up to 5.17 × 10 Jones, which was more than 5 times the best one ever reported. More importantly, the as-constructed PDs showed a high stability when maintained under ambient conditions.

Currently, all-inorganic CsPbX (X = Br, I, Cl) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are shining stars with exciting potential applications in optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, lasers, and photodetectors, due to their superior performance in comparison to their organic-inorganic hybrid counterparts. In the present work, we report a general strategy based on a microwave technique for the rapid production of low-dimensional all-inorganic CsPbBr perovskite NCs with tunable morphologies within minutes. The effect of the key parameters such as the introduced ligands, solvents, and PbBr precursors and microwave powers as well as the irradiation times on the production of perovskite NCs was systematically investigated, which allowed their growth with tunable dimensionalities and sizes. As a proof of concept, the ratio of OA to OAm as well as the concentration of PbBr precursor played important roles in triggering the anisotropic growth of the perovskite NCs, favoring their growth into 1D/2D single-crystalline nanostructures. Meanwhile, their sizes could be tailored by controlling the microwave powers and irradiation times. The mechanism for the tunable growth of perovskite NCs is discussed.
