Abstract
Carbon nanotube thin (CNT) films have been extensively studied in optoelectronics for the past two decades. Regarding its chemical inertness they have been successfully integrated with halide-perovskites for next-generation flexible optoelectronics. Following this approach, a few perovskite-based devices have been created, namely solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes. However, the synthesis of a high-quality halide-perovskite material directly on carbon nanotube thin films has not been demonstrated. Here, we for the first time show a simple one-step synthesis of CsPbBr3 microcrystals directly on the substrate-free, free-standing carbon nanotube thin film. We show that the as-synthesized microcrystals show optical lasing at a threshold fluence 140 μJ cm–2. Our simple approach allows to further study substrate-free perovskite lasers on a carbon nanotube thin film. Furthermore, the proposed design will be perspective for multifunctional optoelectronics, where both CNT film and perovskite crystals may respond various applied stimuli.
