The fast-growing MAPbBr3 single crystals engulfed the protogenetic inclusions in the form of individual CNTs, thus resulting in a three-dimensionally enlarged photosensitive interface. Photodetector devices were obtained, detecting low light intensities (similar to 2.0 nW) from the UV range to 550 nm. Moreover, a photocurrent tivaS recorded at zero external bias voltage which points to the plausible formation of a p-n junction resulting from interpenetration of MAPbBr(3) single crystals into the VACNT forest. This reveals that vertically aligned CNTs can be used as electrodes in operationally stable perovskite-based optoelectronic devices and can serve as a versatile platform for future selective electrode development.text::journal::journal article::research article
