In this talk a common mechanism underlying of hybrid perovskite nanowire formation will be discussed in detail [1]. The central role of the solvatomorph phase as the intermediate phase in crystallization will be highlighted. Next, our latest findings on the guided growth of perovskite nanowires by ‘solvatomorph-graphoepitaxy’ will be presented [2]. This method turned out to be a fairly simple approach to overcome the spatially random surface nucleation. The process allows the synthesis of extremely long (centimeters) and thin (a few nanometers) nanowires with a morphology defined by the shape of nanostructured open fluidic channels. This method might allow the integration of perovskites into advanced CMOS technologies.

CH3NH3PbI3 nanowires in association with carbon nanostructures (carbon nanotubes and graphene) make outstanding composites with rapid and strong photoresponse. They can serve as conducting electrodes, or as central components of detectors. Performance of several miniature photo-field effect transistor devices based on these composite structures will be demonstrated.

Solvatomorph-graphoepitaxy method could open up an entirely new spectrum of architectural designs of organometal-halide-perovskite-based heterojunctions -and tandem solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors and new type of magneto-optical data storage devices [5].
