Intriguing optoelectronic
features of low-dimensional perovskites drive researchers to develop
novel nanostructures for exploring new photophysical properties and
meeting the requirements of future practical applications. Here, we
report the facile and universal synthesis of metal halide perovskite
nanotubes (NTs) in a micro alkylammonium emulsion system for the first
time. The [PbBr6]4–-based NTs with a
diameter of 300 nm and length of 100 μm were synthesized through
the reaction of PbBr2 and long-chain bromide in advance,
which can be controllably converted into general metal halide perovskite
APbBr3 (A = Cs, FA, MA) with preserved tubular morphology
by introducing the Cs+, MA+, and FA+ cations. Importantly, the NTs can readily couple with other nanofillers
exhibiting tunable and novel optoelectronic properties demonstrated
by the photodetectors. The device performance can be significantly
improved and broadened to infrared photoresponse through the introduction
of Au nanocrystal (NC) plasma and PbS NCs, respectively. These results
demonstrate that the metal halide perovskite NTs are expected to enrich
the diversity of nanostructures and have a huge potential in the fabrication
of integrated, light-manipulated, and miniaturized electronic and
photonic devices.
