The interface design of inorganic and organic halide perovskite-based devices plays an important role to attain high performance. The modification of transport layers (ETL and HTL) or the perovskite layer is given the crucial inspiration to realize superior power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). The highly conducting 2D materials of CNT, graphene/GO, and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are suitable substitutes to tune the electronic structure/work function of perovskite devices. Herein, the nanocomposites composed of molybdenum dichalcogenides (MoX 2 = MoS 2 , MoSe 2 , and MoTe 2 ) stretched CNT was embedded with HTL or perovskite layer to improve the resulted characteristics of perovskite devices of solar cells and X-ray detectors. A superior solar cell efficiency of 12.57% was realized for the MoTe 2 @CNT nanocomposites using a modified active layer-composed device. Additionally, X-ray detectors with MoTe 2 @CNT-modulated active layers achieved 13.32 μA/cm 2 , 3.99 mA/Gy•cm 2 , 4.81 × 10 −4 cm 2 /V•s, and 2.13 × 10 15 cm 2 /V•s of CCD-DCD, sensitivity, mobility, and trap density, respectively. Density functional theory approximation was used to realize the improved electronics properties, optical properties, and energy band structures in the MoX 2 @ CNT-doped perovskites evidently. Thus, the current research paves the way for the improvement of highly efficient semiconductor devices based on perovskite-based structures with the use of 2D nanocomposites.

The interface architectures of inorganic–organic halide perovskite‐based devices play key roles in achieving high performances with these devices. Indeed, the perovskite layer is essential for synergistic interactions with the other practical modules of these devices, such as the hole‐/electron‐transfer layers. In this work, a heterostructure geometry comprising transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) of molybdenum dichalcogenides (MoX2 = MoS2, MoSe2, and MoTe2) and perovskite‐ or hole‐transfer layers is prepared to achieve improved device characteristics of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), X‐ray detectors, and photodetectors. A superior efficiency of 11.36% is realized for the active layer with MoTe2 in the PSC device. Moreover, X‐ray detectors using modulated MoTe2 nanostructures in the active layers achieve 296 nA cm−2, 3.12 mA (Gy cm2)−1 and 3.32 × 10–4 cm2 V−1 s−1 of collected current density, sensitivity, and mobility, respectively. The fabricated photodetector produces a high photoresponsivity of 956 mA W−1 for a visible light source, with an excellent external quantum efficiency of 160% for the perovskite layer containing MoSe2 nanostructures. Density functional theory calculations are made for pure and MoX2 doped perovskites’ geometrical, density of states and optical properties variations evidently. Thus, the present study paves the way for using perovskite‐based devices modified by TMDs to develop highly efficient semiconductor devices.
