“…Recently, lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with a lower synthesis temperature than that used for traditional scintillators, high X-ray absorption efficiency, intense radioluminescence, a low X-ray detection limit, and the ability to be processed from solution have been extensively studied as a new generation of X-ray scintillators. − In addition, reduced light scattering from the small particles in nanoscintillators ensures high spatial resolution . Despite their promising X-ray detection performance, the potential commercial applications of lead halide perovskite NCs are limited by the toxicity of lead, their low stability, and their strong reabsorption due to their small Stokes shift. − In this context, new lead-free metal halide materials with high X-ray performance have received increasing interest. ,− Thereby, a lead-free composition, high stability, narrow-band emission, high PLQY, large Stokes shift, and low reabsorption of Mn 4+ -doped hexafluoride NCs motivated us to test them for X-ray detection applications.…”
