LIGHT, SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS 2024; 13:174. [PMID: 39043655 PMCID: PMC11266548 DOI: 10.1038/s41377-024-01521-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
Quasi-two-dimensional (Q-2D) perovskite exhibits exceptional photoelectric properties and demonstrates reduced ion migration compared to 3D perovskite, making it a promising material for the fabrication of highly sensitive and stable X-ray detectors. However, achieving high-quality perovskite films with sufficient thickness for efficient X-ray absorption remains challenging. Herein, we present a novel approach to regulate the growth of Q-2D perovskite crystals in a mixed atmosphere comprising methylamine (CH3NH2, MA) and ammonia (NH3), resulting in the successful fabrication of high-quality films with a thickness of hundreds of micrometers. Subsequently, we build a heterojunction X-ray detector by incorporating the perovskite layer with titanium dioxide (TiO2). The precise regulation of perovskite crystal growth and the meticulous design of the device structure synergistically enhance the resistivity and carrier transport properties of the X-ray detector, resulting in an ultrahigh sensitivity (29721.4 μC Gyair-1 cm-2) for low-dimensional perovskite X-ray detectors and a low detection limit of 20.9 nGyair s-1. We have further demonstrated a flat panel X-ray imager (FPXI) showing a high spatial resolution of 3.6 lp mm-1 and outstanding X-ray imaging capability under low X-ray doses. This work presents an effective methodology for achieving high-performance Q-2D perovskite FPXIs that holds great promise for various applications in imaging technology.

Abstract
Utilizing the manipulation of perovskite dimensions has been proven as an effective approach in regulating perovskite properties. Nevertheless, achieving precise control over the dimensions of perovskites within the same system poses a significant challenge. In this study, we introduce a sophisticated method to attain precise dimensional control in metal-free perovskites (MFPs), specifically through the process of octahedron tailoring by compositional engineering. Accordingly, we successfully instigated a transition from HPIP-NH4I3 ⋅ H2O (3D), HPIP2-NH4I5 (2D) and HPIP3-NH4I7 (1D) structures. Notably, HPIP2-NH4I5 is the first 2D MFP. As anticipated, these perovskites exhibited completely distinct fluorescence and X-ray detection capabilities due to their differing dimensions. Remarkably, the 2D HPIP2-NH4I5 device effectively hindered ion migration perpendicular to the 2D layers, achieving the lowest detection limit of 12.2 nGyair s-1 among metal-free single crystals-based detectors. This study expands the dimensionality control strategies for MFPs and introduces, for the first time, the potential of 2D MFPs as high-performance X-ray detectors, thereby enriching the diversity of the MFPs family.

Abstract
Owing to their extraordinary photophysical properties, organometal halide perovskites are emerging as a new material class for X-ray detection. However, the existence of toxic lead makes their commercialization questionable and should readily be replaced. Accordingly, several lead alternatives have been introduced into the framework of conventional perovskites, resulting in various new perovskite dimensionalities. Among these, Pb-free lower dimensional perovskites (LPVKs) not only show promising X-ray detecting properties due to their higher ionic migration energy, wider and tunable energy bandgap, smaller dark currents, and structural versatility but also exhibit extended environmental stability. Herein, first, the structural organization of the PVKs (including LPVKs) is summarized. In the context of X-ray detectors (XDs), the outstanding properties of the LPVKs and active layer synthesis routes are elaborated afterward. Subsequently, their applications in direct XDs are extensively discussed and the device performance, in terms of the synthesis method, device architecture, active layer size, figure of merits, and device stability are tabulated. Finally, the review is concluded with an in-depth outlook, thoroughly exploring the present challenges to LPVKs XDs, proposing innovative solutions, and future directions. This review provides valuable insights into optimizing non-toxic Pb-free perovskite XDs, paving the way for future advancements in the field.

Abstract
Halide perovskites have shown great potential in X-ray detection due to outstanding optoelectronic properties. However, finding a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable method for handling end-of-life devices has remained challenging. Here, a "One-Click Restart" eco-friendly recycling strategy is introduced for end-of-life perovskite X-ray detectors. This method, utilizing water, allows for the recapture and reuse of both perovskite and conductor materials. The process is straightforward and environmentally friendly, eliminating the need for further chemical treatment, purification, additional additives or catalysts, and complex equipment. A sustainable device cycle is developed by reconstructing flexible perovskite membranes for wearable electronics from recycled materials. Large-scale, flexible membranes made from metal-free perovskite DABCO-N2H5-I3 (DABCO = N-N'-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octonium) achieve remarkably impressive average sensitivity of 6204 ± 268 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 and a low detection limit of 102.3 nGyair s-1, which makes highly effective for X-ray imaging. The sensitivity of recycled flexible devices not only matches that of single-crystal devices made with fresh materials but also ranks as the highest among all metal-free perovskite X-ray detectors. "One-Click Restart" applies to scalable flexible devices derived from aged single-crystal counterparts, offering significant cost, time, and energy savings compared to their single-crystal equivalents. Such advantages significantly boost future market competitiveness.

Abstract
Metal-free perovskites (MFPs) have recently become a newcomer in X-ray detection due to their flexibility and low toxicity characteristics. However, their photoelectronic properties and stability should be further improved mainly through materials design. Here, the aminoazanium of DABCO2+ was developed for the preparation of NDABCO-NH4Br3 (NDABCO = N-amino-N'-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octonium) single crystals (SCs), and its physical properties, intermolecular interactions, and device performance were systematically explored. Notably, NDABCO-NH4Br3 can achieve improved stability by enlarging defect formation energy and inducing abundant intermolecular forces. Moreover, the slight lattice distortion could ensure the weakening electron-phonon coupling for improving carrier transport. In particular, the slight lattice distortion after the long-chain NDABCO2+ introduction could retard thermal expansion for the preparation of high-quality crystals. Finally, the corresponding X-ray detector delivered a moderate sensitivity of 623.3 μC Gyair-1 cm-2. This work provides a novel strategy through rationally designed organic cations to balance the material stability and device performance.

Abstract
Halide perovskites are emerging as promising materials for X-ray detection owing to their compatibility with flexible fabrication, cost-effective solution processing, and exceptional carrier transport behaviors. However, the challenge of removing lead from high-performing perovskites, crucial for wearable electronics, while retaining their superior performance, persists. Here, we present for the first time a highly sensitive and robust flexible X-ray detector utilizing a biocompatible, metal-free perovskite, MDABCO-NH4I3 (MDABCO = methyl-N'-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octonium). This wearable X-ray detector, based on a MDABCO-NH4I3 thick membrane, exhibits remarkable properties including a large resistivity of 1.13 × 1011 Ω cm, a high mobility-lifetime product (μ-τ) of 1.64 × 10-4 cm2 V-1, and spin Seebeck effect coefficient of 1.9 nV K-1. We achieve a high sensitivity of 6521.6 ± 700 μC Gyair-1 cm-2 and a low detection limit of 77 nGyair s-1, ranking among the highest for biocompatible X-ray detectors. Additionally, the device exhibits effective X-ray imaging at a low dose rate of 1.87 μGyair s-1, which is approximately one-third of the dose rate used in regular medical diagnostics. Crucially, both the MDABCO-NH4I3 thick membrane and the device showcase excellent mechanical robustness. These attributes render the flexible MDABCO-NH4I3 thick membranes highly competitive for next-generation, high-performance, wearable X-ray detection applications.

Abstract
The next-generation X-ray detectors require novel semiconductors with low material/fabrication cost, excellent X-ray response characteristics, and robust operational stability. The family of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) materials comprises a range of crystal configuration (i.e., films, wafers, and single crystals) with tunable chemical composition, structures, and electronic properties, which can perfectly meet the multiple-stringent requirements of high-energy radiation detection, making them emerging as the cutting-edge candidate for next-generation X-ray detectors. From the perspective of molecular dimensionality, the physicochemical and optoelectronic characteristics of OIHPs exhibit dimensionality-dependent behavior, and thus the structural dimensionality is recognized as the key factor that determines the device performance of OIHPs-based X-ray detectors. Nevertheless, the correlation between dimensionality of OIHPs and performance of their X-ray detectors is still short of theoretical guidance, which become a bottleneck that impedes the development of efficient X-ray detectors. In the review, the advanced studies on the dimensionality engineering of OIHPs are critically assessed in X-ray detection application, discussing the current understanding on the "dimensionality-property" relationship of OIHPs and the state-of-the-art progresses on the dimensionality-engineered OIHPs-based X-ray detector, and highlight the open challenges and future outlook of this field.

Abstract
Nowadays, weak interlayer coupling and unclear mechanism in layered hybrid silver bismuth bromine (LH-AgBiBr) are the main reasons for limiting its further enhanced X-ray detection sensitivity and stability. Herein, the design rules for LH-AgBiBr and its influence on X-ray detection performance are reported for the first time. Although shortening amine size can enhance interlayer coupling, its detection performance is severely hampered by its easier defect formation caused by enlarged micro strain. In contrast, an appropriate divalent amine design endows the material with improved interlayer coupling and released micro strain, which benefits crystal stability and mechanical hardness. Another contribution is to increase material density and dielectric constant; thus, enhancing X-ray absorption and carrier transport. Consequently, the optimized parallel device based on BDA2 AgBiBr8 achieves a record sensitivity of 2638 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 and an ultra-low detection limit of 7.4 nGyair s-1 , outperforming other reported LH-AgBiBr X-ray detectors. Moreover, the unencapsulated device displays remarkable anti-moisture, anti-thermal (>150 °C), and anti-radiation (>1000 Gyair ) endurance. Eventually, high-resolution hard X-ray imaging is demonstrated by linear detector arrays under a benign dose rate (1.63 µGyair s-1 ) and low external bias (5 V). Hence, these findings provide guidelines for future materials design and device optimization.

Dimensional and Optoelectronic Tuning of Lead-free Perovskite Cs 3 Bi 2 I 9-n Br n Single Crystals for Enhanced Hard X-ray Detection. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202315817.

Abstract
Inorganic Bi-based perovskites have shown great potential in X-ray detection for their large absorption to X-rays, diverse low-dimensional structures, and eco-friendliness without toxic metals. However, they suffer from poor carrier transport properties compared to Pb-based perovskites. Here, we propose a mixed-halogen strategy to tune the structural dimensions and optoelectronic properties of Cs3 Bi2 I9-n Brn (0≤n≤9). Ten centimeter-sized single crystals are successfully grown by the Bridgman technique. Upon doping bromine to zero-dimensional Cs3 Bi2 I9 , the crystal transforms into a two-dimensional structure as the bromine content reaches Cs3 Bi2 I8 Br. Correspondingly, the optoelectronic properties are adjusted. Among these crystals, Cs3 Bi2 I8 Br exhibits negligible ion migration, moderate resistivity, and the best carrier transport capability. The sensitivities in 100 keV hard X-ray detection are 1.33×104 and 1.74×104 μC Gyair -1 cm-2 at room temperature and 75 °C, respectively, which are the highest among all reported bismuth perovskites. Moreover, the lowest detection limit of 28.6 nGyair s-1 and ultralow dark current drift of 9.12×10-9 nA cm-1 s-1 V-1 are obtained owing to the high ionic activation energy. Our work demonstrates that Br incorporation is an effective strategy to enhance the X-ray detection performance by tuning the dimensional and optoelectronic properties.

A New Metal-Free Molecular Perovskite-Related Single Crystal with Quantum Wire Structure for High-Performance X-Ray Detection. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2308945.

Abstract
The family of metal-free molecular perovskites, an emerging novel class of eco-friendly semiconductor, welcomes a new member with a unique 1D hexagonal perovskite structure. Lowering dimensionality at molecular level is a facile strategy for crystal structure conversion, optoelectronic property regulation, and device performance optimization. Herein, the study reports the design, synthesis, packing structure, and photophysical properties of the 1D metal-free molecular perovskite-related single crystal, rac-3APD-NH4 I3 (rac-3APD= racemic-3-Aminopiperidinium), that features a quantum wire structure formed by infinite chains of face-sharing NH4 I6 octahedra, enabling strong quantum confinement with strongly self-trapped excited (STE) states to give efficient warm orange emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) as high as ≈41.6%. The study accordingly unveils its photoexcited carrier dynamics: rac-3APD-NH4 I3 relaxes to STE state with a short lifetime of 10 ps but decays to ground state by emitting photons with a relatively longer lifetime of 560 ps. Additionally, strong quantum confinement effect is conducive to charge transport along the octahedral channels that enables the co-planar single-crystal X-ray detectors to achieve a sensitivity as high as 1556 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 . This work demonstrates the first case of photoluminescence mechanism and photophysical dynamics of 1D metal-free perovskite-related semiconductor, as well as the promise for high-performance X-ray detector.

Abstract
Metal-free perovskitoids (MFPs) with N2H5+ as B-site component possess higher crystal density and hydrogen bonding networks and have been recently expanded into X-ray detection. However, research on this material is in its infancy and lacks an understanding of the function of halide components on physical properties and device performance. Here, N2H5-based MFP single crystals (SCs) with different halides are fabricated, and the influence of halides on the crystal structure, band nature, charge transport characteristics, and final device performance is actively explored. Based on theory and experiments, the tolerance factor and octahedral factor jointly determine the octahedral composition. Further, halides with different electronegativities and ionic radii also affect octahedral distortion and energy band bending, further influencing carrier transport and device performance. Finally, a sensitivity of 1284 μC Gyair-1 cm-2 and low detection limits (LoD) of 5.62 μGyair s-1 were obtained by the Br-based device due to its superior physical properties.

Abstract
The engineered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) with outstanding multifunctionalities have realized overarching targeted-driven applications and thus aroused intense research interest. The emergence of three-dimensional (3D) A(II)B(I)X3-type HOIPs in 2018 brought a breakthrough to extend the 3D perovskite family and successfully realized prominent ferroelectricity at the same time. Here, we focus on these new-type HOIPs to perform machine-learning (ML)-based molecular design to screen promising candidates for versatile light harvesting, involving photovoltaics (77 ones), water splitting (216 ones), and photodetection (178 ones), out of 3180 A(II)B(I)X3 perovskites in total. These candidates await future experimental synthesis and characterization. Our high-throughput ML-based screening of 3D A(II)B(I)X3 HOIPs would enrich the material inventory by successfully introducing a class of new 3D HOIPs to realize property-oriented light harvesting and additional versatile energy harvesting due to their potential multifunctionalities such as ferroelectricity and electrocaloricity.

Abstract
2D materials with atomic-scale thickness and mechanical robustness are required for flexible devices. The superior optoelectronic properties and high-Z atoms in metal halide perovskites render them desirable for X-ray detection, but the intrinsic brittleness is an obstacle hampering the applications in flexible detectors. Herein, an interfacial engineering strategy is demonstrated for the epitaxial growth of methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3 ) on black phosphorus (BP) for flexible X-ray detectors. The mechanically robust, high-quality heterostructure consisting of a Pb transition layer is synthesized for the two-way bridging of BP and MAPbBr3 . Excellent optoelectronic properties such as a high X-ray sensitivity of 1,609 ± 122 µC Gy-1 cm-2 (80 times higher than that of the commercial amorphous Se), a fast response time of 40 ± 5 ms, as well as a low detection limit of 3 µGys-1 (about a fifteenth of the medical chest X-ray dose rate) are achieved from the simple and planar direct X-ray detector fabricated on an organic filter membrane. More importantly, these flat and simple devices are bendable and mechanically durable by exhibiting only 10% photocurrent degradation after 200 bending cycles. The novel heterostructure has great potential in large-area, flexible, and sensitive X-ray detection applications.

Abstract
In recent years, novel metal halide scintillators have shown great application potential due to their tunable emission wavelength, high X-ray absorption, and high luminescence efficiency. However, poor stability and complex device packaging remain key issues for metal halide scintillators, making it difficult to achieve high-resolution and flexible X-ray imaging applications. To address the above issues, a multiprocessing strategy was introduced to prepare Cs3Cu2I5@PMMA scintillator films for long-term stable application, mainly undergo different annealing treatments to make Cs3Cu2I5 crystals to accurately nucleate and then grow in-situ in the PMMA matrix. Then, a series of characterization results illustrate that the prepared Cs3Cu2I5@PMMA scintillator films have high crystallinity, uniform size, excellent flexibility, high stable photoluminescence (PL) and radioluminescence (RL) performance, and high-resolution X-ray imaging capability. Most importantly, Cs3Cu2I5@PMMA scintillator films can not only provide clear and accurate imaging recognition of objects with different complex structures but also maintain stable X-ray imaging quality within 60 days and can achieve flexible X-ray imaging. Therefore, we have provided an effective strategy for producing high-quality scintillator films to meet the multidimensional needs of a new generation of scintillators.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites have recently emerged as promising candidates for the next generation of X-ray detectors due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. Especially, two-dimensional (2D) perovskites afford many distinct properties, including remarkable structural diversity, high generation energy, and balanced large exciton binding energy. With the advantages of 2D materials and perovskites, it successfully reduces the decomposition and phase transition of perovskite and effectively suppresses ion migration. Meanwhile, the existence of a high hydrophobic spacer can block water molecules, thus making 2D perovskite obtain excellent stability. All of these advantages have attracted much attention in the field of X-ray detection.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023:e2300480. [PMID: 36971461 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202300480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Metal-free perovskites (MFPs) possess excellent photophysical properties of perovskites while avoiding the introduction of toxic metal ions and organic solvents, and have been expanded to X-ray detection. However, iodine-based high-performance MFPs are tended to oxidation, corrosion, and uncontrolled ion migration, resulting in poor material stability and device performance. Herein, the strongly electronegative PF6 - pseudohalide is used to fabricate the large-size MDABCO-NH4 (PF6 )3 (MDBACO = methyl-N'-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octonium) single crystals (SCs) for solving the problems of iodine ions. After the introduction of PF6 - pseudohalides, the Coulomb interaction and hydrogen bonding strength are enhanced to alleviate the ion-migration and stability problems. Moreover, combined with theoretical calculations, PF6 - pseudohalides increase the ion-migration barrier, and affect the contribution of its components to the energy band for a broadening bandgap. Meanwhile, the improved physical properties, such as large activation energy of ionic migration, high resistivity, and low current drift, further expand its application in low-dose and sensitive X-ray detection. Finally, the X-ray detector based on MDABCO-NH4 (PF6 )3 SCs achieves a sensitivity of 2078 µC Gyair -1 cm-2 (highest among metal-free SCs-based detectors) and the lowest detectable dose rate (16.3 nGyair s-1 ). This work has expanded the selection of MFPs for X-ray detectors and somewhat advanced the development of high-performance devices.

Abstract
Perovskite flat-panel X-ray detectors are promising products for realizing low-dose medical imaging, a nondestructive test, and security inspection. However, the perovskite X-ray imager still faces intractable problems such as severe baseline drift, a low signal-to-noise ratio, and rapid performance degradation, which were involved by the notorious intrinsic ion migration of the perovskite functional layer. In this work, sensitive, stable, and portable pixel quasi-two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite X-ray imagers were obtained by an advanced solvent-free laminated fabrication approach. A-Site cation engineering of RP perovskites provides a hint for solving the trade-off between stability and detection performance, resulting in a stable pixel X-ray imager that shows a sensitivity of ∼7000 μC Gyair-1 cm-2, a detection limit of 7.8 nGyair s-1, and good 2D multipixel X-ray imaging. This work demonstrates both a high-performance, stable X-ray imager and its robust fabrication, paving the way for adopting a RP perovskite imager as novel flat-panel X-ray detectors.
