Template synthesis of methylammonium lead iodide in the matrix of anodic titanium dioxide via the direct conversion of electrodeposited elemental lead

A new processing technique is proposed for composites based on the hybrid organic inorganic perovskite MeNH3PbI3 and anodic titania nanotube arrays, which includes a direct gas phase conversion of metal lead nanorods electrodeposited inside the pores of anodic titanium dioxide. This technique may be useful for a design of solar cells and optoelectronics applications.
