  • Heterojunctions in halide perovskite nanostructures
    Patent number: 10858581
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to heterojunctions in halide perovskite nanostructures. In one aspect, a nanostructure comprises a first region and a second region. The first region comprises ABX3, with A being selected from a group consisting of Cs and Rb, with B being selected from a group consisting of Sn and Pb, and with X being selected from a group consisting of Br, Cl, and Br and Cl. The second region comprises ABY3, with Y being selected from a group consisting of Br, I, and Br and I. Compositions of the first region of the nanostructure and the second region of the nanostructure are different.
    Type: Grant

  • INORGANIC HALIDE PEROVSKITE NANOWIRES AND METHODS OF FABRICATION THEREOF
    Publication number: 20170217785
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to inorganic halide perovskite nanowires. In one aspect, a first solution comprising cesium oleate or rubidium oleate in a first organic solvent is provided. A second solution comprising a lead halide and a surfactant in a second organic solvent is provided. The halide is selected from a group consisting of chlorine, bromine, and iodine. The first solution and the second solution are mixed. A reaction between the cesium oleate or the rubidium oleate and the lead halide forms a plurality of nanowires comprising an inorganic lead halide perovskite.
