CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite with Enhanced Absorption and Stability Using Silver Nanowires and the Anatase Structure of TiO2 Nanowires
Source abstract
Abstract
Recently, CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskites have been widely reported in photoelectric fields. However, the lower absorption efficiency and poor stability have restricted their further applications. In this work, we propose an absorber composed of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite, silver nanowires (AgNWs) and TiO2 NWs. Using AgNWs and TiO2 NWs, the combined perovskite material had a maximum tenfold absorption enhancement than pure CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite, and the enhancement effect was higher than the recent report we carried out using silver nanowires (AgNWs), in which we obtained a maximum fivefold enhancement. In addition, the proposed complex showed good long-term stability and effectively prevented CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite from interacting with the active molecules in the air. Our work demonstrates that a synergistic effect was effectively utilized by AgNWs and TiO2 NWs and provides a facile method for absorption and stability improvement of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites, thus broadening their photoelectric applications.
