Readily commercializable and cost-effective next-generation CsPbBr perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) based X-ray detectors are demonstrated. The PNCs-based X-ray detector exhibits higher spatial resolution (9.8 lp mm at modulation transfer function (MTF) = 0.2 and 12.5-8.9 lp mm for a linear line chart), faster response time (≈200 ns), and comparable stability (>40 Gy s of X-ray exposure) compared with the commercialized terbium-doped gadolinium oxysulfide (GOS)-based detectors (spatial resolution = 6.2 lp mm at MTF = 0.2 and 6.3 lp mm for a linear line chart, response time = ≈1200 ns) because the PNCs-based scintillator has ≈5.6-fold faster average photoluminescence lifetime and stronger emission than the GOS-based one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
