Epitaxial Growth of 2D Bi₂O₂Se Nanoplates/1D CsPbBr₃ Nanowires Mixed‐Dimensional Heterostructures with Enhanced Optoelectronic Properties

Abstract The 2D/1D mixed‐dimensional van der Waals heterostructures have great potential for electronics and optoelectronics with high performance and multifunctionality. The epitaxy of 1D micro/nanowires on 2D layered materials may efficiently realize the large‐scale preparation of 2D/1D heterostructures, which is critically important for their practical applications. So far, however, only the wires of Bi₂S₃, Te, and Sb₂Se₃ have been epitaxially grown on MoS₂ or WS₂. Here, it is reported that the epitaxial growth of 1D CsPbBr₃ nanowires on 2D Bi₂O₂Se nanoplates through a facile vertical vapor deposition method. The CsPbBr₃ wires are well aligned on the Bi₂O₂Se plates in fourfold symmetry with the epitaxial relationships of [001]_CsPbBr3||[200]_Bi2O2Se and [1‐10]_CsPbBr3||[020]_Bi2O2Se. The photoluminescence results reveal that the emission from CsPbBr₃ is significantly quenched in the heterostructure, which implies the charge carriers transfer from CsPbBr₃ to Bi₂O₂Se. The waveguide characterization shows that the epitaxial CsPbBr₃ wires may efficiently confine and guide their emission, which favors the light absorption of Bi₂O₂Se. Importantly, the photocurrent mapping and spectra of the devices based on these 2D/1D heterostructures prove that the epitaxial CsPbBr₃ wires remarkably enhances the photoresponse of Bi₂O₂Se, which indicates these heterostructures can be applied in high‐performance optoelectronic devices or on‐chip integrated photonic circuits.
