- Abstract
Nonlead low-dimensional halide perovskites attract considerable attention as X-ray scintillators. However, most scintillation screens exhibit pronounced light scattering, which detrimentally reduces the quality of X-ray imaging. Herein, we employed a simple and straightforward solvent-free melt-quenching method to fabricate a large-area zero-dimension (0D) antimony-based perovskite transparent medium, namely (C20H20P)2SbCl5(C20H20P+= ethyltriphenylphosphine). The transparency is due to the large steric hindrance of C20H20P+, which hinders the formation of crystals during the quenching process, thus forming a glass with low refractive index and uniform structure. This medium exhibits a high transmittance exceeding 80% in the range of 450–800 nm and shows a large Stokes shift of 245 nm, thereby minimizing light scattering, mitigating self-absorption, and enhancing the clarity of X-ray imaging. Moreover, it exhibits a high radioluminescence light yield of ∼12,535 photons MeV–1and displays a high X-ray spatial resolution of 30 lp mm–1owing to its high transparency. This study presents an alternative candidate for achieving high-quality X-ray detection and extends the applicability of transparent perovskite scintillators.
