MOFs have good potential for X-ray detection, but direct X-ray detection in single crystal form is rarely reported. In this work, we successfully synthesized Pb-TCPE, and the single crystal achieves a low detection limit and high detection sensitivity of 4812.6 μC Gyair−1 cm−2, which exhibits great potential for X-ray detection and imaging.

In recent years, the development of new scintillation materials with red and near-infrared light emission has had significant advantages based on the development of an avalanche photodiode with high quantum yield. This study used a hydrothermal method to synthesize rare-earth-doped Cs2NaScCl6 crystals, in which a red emission of Cs2NaScCl6:Sm was investigated with high X-ray sensitivity and low detection limit. In addition, a tunable wavelength range of radioluminescence can be achieved, in which a near-white light emission can be generated by precisely controlling the proportion of Sm3+ and Tb3+ doping concentrations. Meanwhile, a Cs2NaScCl6:7%Sm scintillation film has been successfully prepared by direct coating with a thickness of 150 μm, which achieves a spatial resolution of 11.9 lp mm−1 based on X-ray imaging experiments. Therefore, this perovskite material has shown potential application as an eco-friendly multifunctional imaging material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

X‐ray flat‐panel detectors are widely used for nondestructive detection of internal information in medical radiography and industrial applications. However, a persisting challenge is the application of radiography on highly curved 3D objects to realize flexibility and information storage for the fabrication of flexible large‐area X‐ray detectors. This study demonstrates a halide‐based double perovskite Cs2Na0.9Ag0.1LuCl6:Dy3+ by a hydrothermal reaction. The as‐prepared crystals exhibit afterglow features through a co‐doping strategy of Dy3+ and Ag+ ions. The double perovskite material with doping modification exhibits excellent scintillation properties with high sensitivity, low detection limit, and high radiation stability. In addition, flexible scintillator detectors are fabricated with an area of 8.0 × 6.0 cm2 by the blade‐coating strategy, which has a high spatial resolution of 11.2 lp mm−1@MTF = 0.2. Based on the long afterglow properties, the Cs2Na0.9Ag0.1LuCl6:Dy3+ flexible film exhibits thermoluminescence after turning off the X‐ray, thereby having strong potential for X‐ray imaging of nonflat and irregular objects.
