Popis: Realizing nanostructured interfaces with precise architectural control enables one to access properties unattainable using bulk materials. In particular, a nanostructured interface (e.g., a core–shell nanowire) between two semiconductors leads to a short charge separation distance, such that photoexcited charge carriers can be more quickly and efficiently collected. While vapor-phase growth methods are used to synthesize uniform core–shell nanowire arrays of semiconductors such as Si and InP, more general strategies are required to produce related structures composed of a broader range of materials. Herein, we employ anodic aluminum oxide templates to synthesize CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite core–copper thiocyanate shell nanowire arrays employing a combination of electrodeposition and solution casting methods. Using scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, we confirm the target structure and show that adopting a core–shell nanowire architecture acce...
