Conventional methods for growing one-dimensional perovskites have limitations in terms of complexity, cost, scalability, and design flexibility. Purdue’s technique uses a low-loss waveguide and organic template molecules that disrupt in-plane symmetry and induce one-dimensional growth, providing efficient light amplification. These nanowires exhibit anisotropic emission polarization and improved crystal quality.
This research, published in the journal Science, marks a significant leap forward in crystal engineering by combining the properties of one-dimensional and two-dimensional materials. Purdue Innovates has filed a patent to protect this intellectual property.
These nanowires can be used in devices that convert light into electricity and vice versa. For example, it can increase the efficiency of solar panels or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Such nanowires may also find application in quantum computers.
