Abstract
Metal halide perovskites, as a new class of attractive and potential scintillators, are highly promising in X-ray imaging. However, their application is limited by the sensitivity to moisture and irradiation. To address this issue, we reported a 2D layered double perovskite material Cs4Cd1-xMnxBi2Cl12 that exhibits high stability both under ambient condition and under X-ray irradiation. Cs4Cd1-xMnxBi2Cl12 demonstrates superior scintillation performance, including excellent X-ray response linearity and a high light yield (∼34,450 photons/MeV). More importantly, the X-ray excited emission intensity maintains 92% and 94% of its original value after stored at ambient condition for over two years and after X-ray irradiation with a total dose of 11.4 Gy, respectively. By mixing with PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), we have successfully produced a high-quality flexible film that can be bent freely while maintaining its excellent scintillation properties. The scintillating screen exhibits outstanding imaging ability with a spatial resolution of up to 16.7 line pairs per millimeter (lp/mm), also, the superiority of this scintillation screen in flexible X-ray imaging is demonstrated. These results indicate the huge potential of this high-stability double perovskite scintillator in X-ray imaging.

Abstract
Metal halides have drawn great interest as luminescent materials and scintillators due to their outstanding optical properties. Exploring new types of phosphors with easy production processes, excellent photophysical properties, high light yields, and environmentally friendly compositions is crucial and quite challenging. Herein, a novel Mn(II)-based metal halide (4-BTP)2MnBr4 was produced using a facile solvent evaporation method, which exhibited a strong green emission peaking at 524 nm from the d-d transition of tetrahedral-coordinated Mn2+ ion and a near-unity quantum yield. The prepared white light-emitting diode device has a wide color gamut of 100.7% NTSC with CIE chromaticity coordinates of (0.32, 0.32). In addition, (4-BTP)2MnBr4 demonstrates excellent characteristics in X-ray scintillation, including a high light yield of 98 000 photons/MeV, a sensitive detection limit of 37.4 nGy/s, excellent resistance to radiation damage, and successful demonstration of X-ray imaging with high resolution at 21.3 lp/mm, revealing the potential for application in diagnostic X-ray medical imaging and industry radiation detection.

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
2D perovskites have greatly improved moisture stability owing to the large organic cations embedded in the inorganic octahedral structure, which also suppresses the ions migration and reduces the dark current. The suppression of ions migration by 2D perovskites effectively suppresses excessive device noise and baseline drift and shows excellent potential in the direct X-ray detection field. In addition, 2D perovskites have gradually emerged with many unique properties, such as anisotropy, tunable bandgap, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and wide range exciton binding energy, which continuously promote the development of 2D perovskites in ionizing radiation detection. This review aims to systematically summarize the advances and progress of 2D halide perovskite semiconductor and scintillator ionizing radiation detectors, including reported alpha (α) particle, beta (β) particle, neutron, X-ray, and gamma (γ) ray detection. The unique structural features of 2D perovskites and their advantages in X-ray detection are discussed. Development directions are also proposed to overcome the limitations of 2D halide perovskite radiation detectors.

Abstract
Organic scintillators have recently attracted growing attention for X-ray detection in industrial and medical applications. However, these materials still face critical obstacles of low attenuation efficiency and/or inefficient triplet exciton utilization. Here we developed a new category of organogold(III) complexes, Tp-Au-1 and Tp-Au-2, through adopting a through-space interaction motif to realize high X-ray attenuation efficiency and efficient harvesting of triplet excitons for emission. Thanks to the efficient through-space charge transfer process, this panel of complexes achieved higher photoluminescence quantum yield and shorter radiative lifetimes compared with the through-bond reference complexes. Inspiringly, these organogold(III) complexes exhibited polarity-dependent emission origins: thermally activated delayed fluorescence and/or phosphorescence. Under X-ray irradiation, Tp-Au-2 manifested intense radioluminescence together with a record-high scintillation light yield of 77,600 photons MeV-1 for organic scintillators. The resulting scintillator screens demonstrated high-quality X-ray imaging with >16.0 line pairs mm-1 spatial resolution, outstripping most organic and inorganic scintillators. This finding provides a feasible strategy for the design of superior organic X-ray scintillators.

Abstract
Metal halide scintillators serve as promising candidates for X-ray detection due to their high attenuation coefficients, high light yields, and low-cost solution-processable characteristics. However, the issues of humidity/thermal quenching and mechanical fragility, remain obstacles to the broad and diversified development of metal halide scintillators. Here, this work reports a lead-free, water-stable, stretchable, and self-healing (ethylenebis-triphenylphosphonium manganese (II) bromide (C38 H34 P2 )MnBr4 organogel scintillator that meets X-ray imaging in complex scenarios. The robust organogel scintillator can be stretched with elongation up to 1300% while maintaining the scintillation properties. Activated by the dynamic hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds design, the organogel scintillator exhibits excellent self-healing properties at room temperature to alleviate the vignetting problem of the rigid scintillator films, the X-ray imaging resolution can reach 16.7 lp mm-1 . The organogel scintillator can also realize flexible and self-healing X-ray imaging in water, providing a design path for portable devices in harsh conditions.

Abstract
Halide perovskites (HPs) recently have emerged as one class of competitive scintillators for X-ray detection and imaging owing to its high quantum efficiency, short decay time, superior X-ray absorption capacity, low cost, and ease of crystal growth. The tunable structure and versatile chemical compositions of halide perovskites provide distinguishable advantages over traditional inorganic scintillators for optimizing scintillation performance. Since the first observation of the scintillation phenomenon in HPs, substantial efforts have been devoted to expanding the inventory of HP scintillators and regulating material properties. Understanding the relationship between the structure and scintillation properties of HP scintillators is essential for developing materials with improved X-ray detection and imaging capacities. This review summarizes strategies for improving the light yield of HP scintillators and provides a roadmap for improving the X-ray imaging performance. Additionally, methods for controlling the light propagation direction in HP scintillators are highlighted for improving X-ray imaging resolution. Finally, we highlight the current challenge in HP scintillators and provide a perspective on the future development of this emerging scintillator.

Abstract
Two-dimensional hybrid-organic-inorganic perovskite (2D-HOIP) lead bromide perovskite crystals have demonstrated great potential as scintillators with high light yields and fast decay times while also being low cost with solution-processable materials for wide energy radiation detection. Ion doping has been also shown to be a very promising avenue for improvements of the scintillation properties of 2D-HOIP crystals. In this paper, we discuss the effect of rubidium (Rb) doping on two previously reported 2D-HOIP single crystals, BA2PbBr4 and PEA2PbBr4. We observe that doping the perovskite crystals with Rb ions leads to an expansion of the crystal lattices of the materials, which also leads to narrowing of band gaps down to 84% of the pure compounds. Rb doping of BA2PbBr4 and PEA2PbBr4 shows a broadening in the photoluminescence and scintillation emissions of both perovskite crystals. Rb doping also leads to faster γ-ray scintillation decay times, as fast as 4.4 ns, with average decay time decreases of 15% and 8% for Rb-doped BA2PbBr4 and PEA2PbBr4, respectively, compared to those of undoped crystals. The inclusion of Rb ions also leads to a slightly longer afterglow, with residual scintillation still being below 1% after 5 s at 10 K, for both undoped and Rb-doped perovskite crystals. The light yield of both perovskites is significantly increased by Rb doping with improvements of 58% and 25% for BA2PbBr4 and PEA2PbBr4, respectively. This work shows that Rb doping leads to a significant enhancement of the 2D-HOIP crystal performance, which is of particular significance for high light yield and fast timing applications, such as photon counting or positron emission tomography.

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. This review introduces the classification of 2D halide perovskites, summarizes the synthesis technology and performance characteristics of 2D perovskite X-ray direct detector, and briefly discusses the application of 2D perovskite in scintillators. Finally, this review also emphasizes the key challenges faced by 2D perovskite X-ray detectors in practical application and presents our views on its future development.

Abstract
Lead-free organic metal halide scintillators with low-dimensional electronic structures have demonstrated great potential in X-ray detection and imaging due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. Herein, the zero-dimensional organic copper halide (18-crown-6)2Na2(H2O)3Cu4I6 (CNCI) which exhibits negligible self-absorption and near-unity green-light emission was successfully deployed into X-ray imaging scintillators with outstanding X-ray sensitivity and imaging resolution. In particular, we fabricated a CNCI/polymer composite scintillator with an ultrahigh light yield of ∼109,000 photons/MeV, representing one of the highest values reported so far for scintillation materials. In addition, an ultralow detection limit of 59.4 nGy/s was achieved, which is approximately 92 times lower than the dosage for a standard medical examination. Moreover, the spatial imaging resolution of the CNCI scintillator was further improved by using a silicon template due to the wave-guiding of light through CNCI-filled pores. The pixelated CNCI-silicon array scintillation screen displays an impressive spatial resolution of 24.8 line pairs per millimeter (lp/mm) compared to the resolution of 16.3 lp/mm for CNCI-polymer film screens, representing the highest resolutions reported so far for organometallic-based X-ray imaging screens. This design represents a new approach to fabricating high-performance X-ray imaging scintillators based on organic metal halides for applications in medical radiography and security screening.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation such as X-rays and γ-rays has been extensively studied and used in various fields such as medical imaging, radiographic nondestructive testing, nuclear defense, homeland security, and scientific research. Therefore, the detection of such high-energy radiation with high-sensitivity and low-cost-based materials and devices is highly important and desirable. Halide perovskites have emerged as promising candidates for radiation detection due to the large light absorption coefficient, large resistivity, low leakage current, high mobility, and simplicity in synthesis and processing as compared with commercial silicon (Si) and amorphous selenium (a-Se). In this review, we provide an extensive overview of current progress in terms of materials development and corresponding device architectures for radiation detection. We discuss the properties of a plethora of reported compounds involving organic-inorganic hybrid, all-inorganic, all-organic perovskite and antiperovskite structures, as well as the continuous breakthroughs in device architectures, performance, and environmental stability. We focus on the critical advancements of the field in the past few years and we provide valuable insight for the development of next-generation materials and devices for radiation detection and imaging applications.

Abstract
Scintillator-based X-ray imaging has attracted great attention from industrial quality inspection and security to medical diagnostics. Herein, a series of lanthanide(III)-Cu4 I4 heterometallic organic frameworks (Ln-Cu4 I4 MOFs)-based X-ray scintillators are developed by rationally assembling X-ray absorption centers ([Cu4 I4 ] clusters) and luminescent chromophores (Ln(III) ions) in a specific manner. Under X-ray irradiation, the heavy inorganic units ([Cu4 I4 ] clusters) absorb the X-ray energy to populate triplet excitons via halide-to-ligand charge transfer (XLCT) combined with the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) state (defined as the X/MLCT state), and then the 3 X/MLCT excited state sensitizes Tb3+ for intense X-ray-excited luminescence via excitation energy transfer. The obtained Tb-Cu4 I4 MOF scintillators exhibit high resistance to humidity and radiation, excellent linear response to X-ray dose rate, and high X-ray relative light yield of 29 379 ± 3000 photons MeV-1 . The relative light yield of Tb-Cu4 I4 MOFs is ≈3 times higher than that of the control Tb(III) complex. X-ray imaging tests show that the Tb-Cu4 I4 MOFs-based flexible scintillator film exhibits a high spatial resolution of 12.6 lp mm-1 . These findings not only provide a promising design strategy to develop lanthanide-MOF-based scintillators with excellent scintillation performance, but also exhibit high-resolution X-ray imaging for biological specimens and electronic chips.

Abstract
Low-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid halides, as an important branch of metal halide materials, have attracted much attention due to their excellent photoelectric properties. Herein, we designed one new hybrid cadmium chloride [C5H14NO]CdCl3 based on combinations of the d10 metal cation (Cd2+) and choline chloride molecules. [C5H14NO]CdCl3 single crystals belong to the orthorhombic Pna21 space group and show a one-dimensional (1D) structure with distorted [CdCl5O]5- octahedra. The second harmonic generation (SHG) response of [C5H14NO]CdCl3 exhibits an intensity of approximately 0.4 × KDP. Moreover, the photoluminescence properties of the [C5H14NO]CdCl3 crystal are activated by doping with Sn2+ ions having stereochemically active lone pair 5s2 electrons. Under UV excitation conditions, bright greenish-yellow light emission can be observed, and the quantum efficiency (PLQY) is as high as 91.27%. The luminescence mechanism is revealed by combining the results of temperature dependent luminescence and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. This work can serve as a guide for the design and synthesis of emerging optical materials.

Abstract
Scintillators enable invisible X-ray to be converted into ultraviolet (UV)/visible light that can be collected using a sensor array and is the core component of the X-ray imaging system. However, combining the excellent properties of high light output, high spatial resolution, flexibility, non-toxicity, and cost effectiveness into a single X-ray scintillator remains a great challenge. Herein, a novel scintillator based on benzyltriphenylphosphonium manganese(II) bromide (BTP2MnBr4) nanocrystal (NC) membranes was developed by the in situ fabrication strategy. The long Mn-Mn distance provided by the large BTP cation allows the nonradiative energy dissipation in this manganese(II) halide to be significantly suppressed. As a result, the flexible BTP2MnBr4 NC scintillator shows an excellent linear response to the X-ray dose rate, a high light yield of ∼71,000 photon/MeV, a low detection limit of 86.2 nGyair/s at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, a strong radiation hardness, and a long-term thermal stability. Thanks to the low Rayleigh scattering associated with the dense distribution of nanometer-scale emitters, light cross-talk in X-ray imaging is greatly suppressed. The impressively high-spatial resolution X-ray imaging (23.8 lp/mm at modulation transfer function = 0.2 and >20 lp/mm for a standard pattern chart) was achieved on this scintillator. Moreover, well-resolved 3D dynamic rendering X-ray projections were also successfully demonstrated using this scintillator. These results shed light on designing efficient, flexible, and eco-friendly scintillators for high-resolution X-ray imaging.

Abstract
Current X-ray imaging scintillators are dominated by inorganic scintillators grown through a high-temperature process. Exploring new types of scintillators with mild growth conditions, high light yields, and eco-friendly chemical compositions is essential and challenging. Herein, the zero-dimensional large-area laminar organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide TEA2MnI4 (TEA = tetraethylammonium) single crystal with dimensions of 50 mm × 60 mm × 0.82 mm is grown via a local-heating solvent evaporation method. Compared with its Cl- and Br-based counterparts, the incorporation of the iodine component enhances the X-ray attenuation ability and significantly accelerates the decay of the photoluminescence of TEA2MnI4. Interestingly, the prepared TEA2MnI4 exhibits a high transmittance of >90% over the range of 515-765 nm and exhibits a high light yield of 26288 photons/MeV, which provides the prerequisite for high-resolution X-ray imaging. The TEA2MnI4 single-crystal scintillator displays an astonishing spatial resolution exceeding 25 line pairs per millimeter, which provides a design concept for a Mn-I-based single crystal for high-performance scintillator applications.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanostructures with near-unity photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) are imperative for light-emitting diodes and display devices. A PLQY of 99.7 ± 0.3% has been obtained by stabilizing 91% Sn2+ in the Dion-Jacobson (8N8)SnBr4 (8N8-DJ) perovskite with 1,8-diaminooctane (8N8) spacer. The PLQY is favored by a longer spacer molecule and out-of-plane octahedral tilting. The PLQY shows one-month ambient stability under high relative humidity (RH) and temperature. With n-octylamine (8N) spacer, Ruddlesden-Popper (8N)2SnBr4 (8N-RP) also shows PLQY of 91.7 ± 0.6%, but it has poor ambient stability. The 5-300 K PL experiments decipher the self-trapped excitons (STEs) where the self-trapping depth is 25.6 ± 0.4 meV below the conduction band because of strong carrier-phonon coupling. The microsecond long-lived STE dominates over the band edge (BE) peaks at lower excitation wavelengths and higher temperatures. The higher PLQY and stability of 8N8-DJ are due to the stronger interaction between SnBr64- octahedra and 8N8 spacer, leading to a rigid structure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the development of perovskite-based nanocrystals for sustainable applications in bioimaging and clinical diagnostics have become a very active area of research. From 2D hybrid to zero-dimensional quantum dots (QDs), perovskites along with a variety of characteristic features, specifically non-linear optoelectronics properties, have attracted enormous research attention. These characteristics can be tuned by the type of cations or anions and their ratio used in host perovskites. Carrier doping and chemical modifications are additional alternatives to control optical and magnetism in radiodiagnostics. AREA COVERED This review begins by explaining the physical phenomena associated with luminescence or optical features of novel perovskites in diagnostic applications. Moreover, reported oxide, halide, doped, and QDs-based nanoprobes were elaborated. At last, the need for novel perovskite development, for example, persistent luminescent and low cytotoxicity is discussed, and the futuristic perspective of perovskites in clinical diagnostics with real-time demonstration is explained. EXPERT OPINION Our article concludes that hybrid perovskites, including metal-free, core-shell nanocomposites-based, and alloy-based perovskites, exhibit tunable bandgap and high photoluminescence quantum yields which ultimately result in high optical features. However, given limited understanding of ion transport mechanisms and dependency on environmental conditions of the perovskites, more research is needed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new minimally invasive technology for disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the biological tissue attenuation of visible light renders the depth of its penetration in tissues quite modest, which significantly restricts its therapeutic applicability. Therefore, it is an essential but yet a difficult task to enhance the X-ray sensitization impact while concurrently limiting the tissue scattering by the rational design of novel biological vectors. Herein, a novel Lu3Al5O12:Mn/Ca-Ce6@SiO2 nanoparticle system (LAMCCS) based on a pea-shaped LuAG:Mn/Ca nano-scintillator (LAMC) activating photosensitizer agent (Ce6) was designed. Due to the high radiosensitization of LAMC nano-scintillators and efficient energy conversion efficiency between LAMC and Ce6, more singlet oxygen (1O2) could be generated to efficiently damage DNA fragments and reveal a good effect of inhibiting the long-term proliferation of tumor cells in vitro. Significantly, synergistic therapy with PDT/radiotherapy (RT) and from LAMCCS nanocomposites may still maintain a high tumor growth inhibition rate of 72% than single RT of 10% in vivo. Owing to their excellent ability for X-ray sensitization and energy conversion, LAMCCS nanocomposites may have significant tumor growth suppression rates under lower X-ray dose irradiation due to their outstanding X-ray sensitization and energy conversion capabilities, which may open up a new avenue for the advancement of cancer therapy.

Abstract
Lu2(1-x)Eu2xO3 nanoscintillators (x = 0.005, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.10) with red emission were synthesized by a coprecipitation method. It is found that their photo- and radioluminescence intensities increase with increasing Eu3+ concentration until x = 0.05. According to their concentration-dependent luminescence intensity ratios (I610(C2)/I582(S6)), the existing energy transfer from Eu3+(S6) (occupying S6 sites) to Eu3+(C2) (occupying C2 sites) can be confirmed. Based on the spectral data and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the origin of Lu2O3:Eu3+ persistent luminescence at low concentration might be related to the tunneling processes between Eu3+ (occupying C2 and S6 sites) and oxygen interstitials (Oi×). After dispersing afterglow-suppressed Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanoscintillators into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymer-acetone solution, flexible PMMA-Lu2O3:Eu3+ composite films with high thermal stability and radiation resistance were fabricated by a doctor blade method. As the flexible composite film was used as an imaging plate, static X-ray images with high spatial resolution (5.5 lp/mm) under an extremely low dose of ∼1.1 μGyair can be acquired. When a watch with a moving second hand was used as an object, the dynamic X-ray imaging can be realized under a dose rate of 55 μGyair·s-1. Our results demonstrate that Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanoscintillators can be regarded as candidate materials for dynamic digital radiographic imaging.

Abstract
Inorganic perovskite quantum dots CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) has recently received extensive attention as a new promising class of X-ray scintillators. However, relatively low light yield (LY) of CsPbX3 and strong optical scattering of the thick opaque scintillator film restrict their practical applications for high-resolution X-ray microscopic imaging. Here, the Ce3+ ion doped CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) with enhanced LY and stability are obtained and then the ultrathin (30 µm) and transparent scintillator films with high density are prepared by a suction filtration method. The small amount Ce3+ dopant greatly enhances the LY of CsPbBr3 NCs (about 33 000 photons per MeV), which is much higher than that of bare CsPbBr3 NCs. Moreover, the scintillator films made by these NCs with high density realize a high spatial resolution of 862 nm thanks to its thin and transparent feature, which is so far a record resolution for perovskite scintillator-based X-ray microscopic imaging. This strategy not only provides a simple way to increase the resolution down to nanoscale but also extends the application of as-prepared CsPbBr3 scintillator for high resolution X-ray microscopic imaging.

Abstract
Over the last decade, lead halide perovskites have attracted significant research attention in the field of photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, photodetection, ionizing radiation detection, etc, owing to their outstanding optoelectrical properties. However, the commercial applications of lead-based perovskite devices are restricted due to the poor ambient stability and toxicity of lead. The encapsulation of lead-based devices can reduce the possible leakage of lead. However, it is hard to ensure safety during large-scale production and long-term storage. Recently, considerable efforts have been made to design lead-free perovskites for different optoelectronic applications. Metal halide double perovskites with the general formula of A2MIMIIIX6or A2MIVX6could be potentially considered as green and stable alternatives for different optoelectronic applications. In this review article, we focus on the recent progress and findings on lead-free halide double perovskites for x-ray and UV-vis photodetection applications. Lead-free halide double perovskite has recently drawn a great deal of attention for superior x-ray detection due to its high absorption coefficient, large carrier mobility-lifetime product, and large bulk resistance. In addition, these materials exhibit good performance in photodetection in the UV-vis region due to high photocarrier generation and efficient carrier separation. In this review, first, we define the characteristics of lead-free double perovskite materials. The fundamental characteristics and beneficial properties of halide perovskites for direct and indirect x-ray detection are then discussed. We comprehensively review recent developments and efforts on lead-free double perovskite for x-ray detection and UV-vis photodetection. We bring out the current challenges and opportunities in the field and finally present the future outlook for developing lead-free double perovskite-based x-ray and UV-vis photodetectors for practical applications.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite scintillators encounter unprecedented opportunities in indirect ionizing radiation detection due to their high quantum yields. However, the long scintillation lifetime of microseconds upon irradiation, known as the afterglow phenomenon, obviously limits their fast development. Here, a new type of hybrid X-ray detector wafer combining direct methylamine lead iodide (MAPbI3 ) semiconductor and indirect zero-dimensional cesium copper iodide (Cs3 Cu2 I5 ) scintillator through low-cost fast tableting processes is reported. Due to the fast energy transfer from Cs3 Cu2 I5 to MAPbI3 , the device response time to X-rays is dramatically reduced by nearly 30 times to 36.6 ns, which enables fast X-ray detection capability by a large area detector arrays within 1 s. Moreover, Cs3 Cu2 I5 exists at the grain boundaries of MAPbI3 crystals, and blocks the paths of mobile ions of perovskite, leading to the lowest detectable dose rate of hybrid X-ray detector is thus reduced by 1.5 times compared with control MAPbI3 direct-type semiconductor, and 10 times compared with the Cs3 Cu2 I5 indirect-type scintillator. The direct/indirect hybrid wafer also exhibits improved operation stability at ambient conditions without any encapsulation. This new kind of hybrid X-ray detectors provides strong competitiveness by combining the advantages of both direct perovskite semiconductors and indirect perovskite scintillators for next-generation products.

Abstract
To improve the radioluminescence (RL) performance of ZnO:Ga (GZO) crystal scintillators and overcome the challenge of their self-absorption, we proposed a two-layer composite scintillator consisting of a GZO wafer and a 70 nm lead halide perovskite film(CsPbBr3, CH3NH3PbBr3). The effects of the perovskite film on the RL properties were studied. The results showed that the perovskite quantum dot film substantially changed the RL spectrum of GZO and prevented self-absorption. The RL of the samples were enhanced by 66% to 151% through the photoluminescence (PL) of the perovskite film, while the energy-resolving power and spatial-resolving power were maintained at the same level as that of GZO image converters. The present experiments and discussions confirmed that the perovskite film improved the RL, and this study suggests a new wavelength regulation method among scintillators, converters, and back-end optical devices. The applications of perovskites in the field of radiation detection and imaging have been extended.

Abstract
With super strong penetrability, high-energy X-rays can be applied to probe the inner structure of target objects under nondestructive situations. Scintillation materials can down-convert X-rays into visible light, enabling the reception of photon signals and photoelectric conversion by common sensing arrays such as photomultiplier tubes and amorphous-Si photodiode matrixes. All-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals are emerging photovoltaic and scintillation materials, with tremendous light-conversion efficiency and tunable luminous properties, exhibiting great potential for high-quality X-ray imaging. Recent advancements in nanotechnology further accelerate the performance improvement of scintillation materials. In this review, we will provide a comprehensive overview of novel all-inorganic perovskite nano-scintillators in terms of potential applications in low-dose X-ray medical radiography. Compared with conventional scintillators, the merits/drawbacks, challenges, and scintillation performance control will be the focus of this article.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites have unique optical and electrical properties, which make them an excellent class of materials for a broad spectrum of optoelectronic applications. However, it is with photovoltaic devices that this class of materials has reached the apotheosis of popularity. High power conversion efficiencies are achieved with lead-based compounds, which are toxic to the environment. Tin-based perovskites are the most promising alternative because of their bandgap close to the optimal value for photovoltaic applications, the strong optical absorption, and good charge carrier mobilities. Nevertheless, the low defect tolerance, the fast crystallization, and the oxidative instability of tin halide perovskites currently limit their efficiency. The aim of this review is to give a detailed overview of the crystallographic, photophysical, and optoelectronic properties of tin-based perovskite compounds in their multiple forms from 3D to low-dimensional structures. At the end, recent progress in tin-based perovskite solar cells are reviewed, mainly focusing on the detail of the strategies adopted to improve the device performances. For each subtopic, the current challenges and the outlook are discussed, with the aim to stimulate the community to address the most important issues in a concerted manner.

Abstract
Halide perovskite materials offer an ideal playground for easily tuning their color and, accordingly, the spectral range of their emitted light. In contrast to common procedures, this work demonstrates that halide substitution in Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites not only progressively modulates the bandgap, but it can also be a powerful tool to control the nanoscale phase segregation-by adjusting the halide ratio and therefore the spatial distribution of recombination centers. As a result, thin films of chloride-rich perovskite are engineered-which appear transparent to the human eye-with controlled tunable emission in the green. This is due to a rational halide substitution with iodide or bromide leading to a spatial distribution of phases where the minor component is responsible for the tunable emission, as identified by combined hyperspectral photoluminescence imaging and elemental mapping. This work paves the way for the next generation of highly tunable transparent emissive materials, which can be used as light-emitting pixels in advanced and low-cost optoelectronics.

Abstract
Lanthanide-organic frameworks (LnOFs) have been brought into focus due to their unique structure-function relevance, and have shown good application prospects in many fields. According to the characteristics of scintillating materials, we synthesized two isomorphic LnOFs with the lanthanides terbium and europium as emission centers: Tb(bmb)3·H2O (LnOF-1) and Eu(bmb)3·H2O (LnOF-2). Tb3+ and Eu3+ were used as X-ray absorption centers, and large conjugated organic ligands were used as energy transfer bridges, which can effectively convert X-rays into visible light. LnOF-1 and LnOF-2 show good X-ray scintillation performance and anti-radiation stability. At the same time, we prepared a LnOF-1 mixed matrix scintillating film by the physical deposition method for X-ray imaging experiments, and its spatial resolution can reach 9.5 lp mm-1@MTF20%. The excellent imaging application effect prospect makes the lanthanide-organic frameworks show development potential in the field of scintillating materials.

Abstract
Facile approaches for creating thin-film scintillators with high spatial resolutions and variable shapes are required to broaden the applicability of high-resolution X-ray imaging. In this study, a transparent nano-polycrystalline ZnWO4 thin-film scintillator was fabricated by thermal evaporation for high-resolution X-ray imaging. The scintillator is composed of nano-sized grains smaller than the optical wavelength range to minimize optical scattering. The high transparency of the scintillators affords a sufficiently high spatial resolution to resolve the 2 μm line and space patterns when used in a high-resolution X-ray imaging system with an effective pixel size of 650 nm. The thermal evaporation method is a convenient approach for depositing thin and uniform films on complex substrates. ZnWO4 thin-film scintillators with various shapes, such as pixelated and curved, were fabricated via thermal evaporation. The results show that the transparent nano-polycrystalline ZnWO4 thin-film scintillator deposited through thermal evaporation has a potential for use in various high-resolution X-ray imaging applications.

Abstract
Scintillation-based X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) imaging shows great potential applications in the fields of industrial security inspection and medical diagnosis. It is still a great challenge to achieve scintillators simultaneously with low toxicity, high stability, strong XEOL intensity, and weak afterglow as well as simple device processibility with weak light scattering. Herein, we introduce ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA)-capped NaGdF4:10Ce/18Tb nanoparticles (NPs) as a highly sensitive nanoscintillator, which meets all of the abovementioned challenges. These NPs show comparable XEOL intensity to the commercial CsI (Tl) single crystal in the green region. We propose a mechanism that involves a new electron-captured path by Ce3+ ions and the promotion of energy migration from a trap center to surface quenchers via a Gd3+ sublattice, which greatly reduces the population in traps to produce significant reduction of afterglow. Moreover, by employing an ultrathin transparent NaGdF4:10Ce/18Tb film (0.045 mm) as a nanoscintillator screen for XEOL imaging, a high spatial resolution of 18.6 lp mm-1 is realized owing to the greatly limited optical scattering, which is superior to the commercial CsI (TI) scintillator and most reported lead halide perovskites. We demonstrate that doping Ce3+ ions can greatly limit X-ray-activated afterglow, enabling to use an ultrathin transparent fluoride NP-based nanoscintillator screen for high-quality XEOL imaging of various objects such as an electronics chip and biological tissue.

Abstract
The widespread use of X- and gamma-rays in a range of sectors including healthcare, security and industrial screening is underpinned by the efficient detection of the ionising radiation. Such detector applications are dominated by indirect detectors in which a scintillating material is combined with a photodetector. Halide perovskites have recently emerged as an interesting class of semiconductors, showing enormous promise in optoelectronic applications including solar cells, light-emitting diodes and photodetectors. Here, we discuss how the same superior semiconducting properties that have catalysed their rapid development in these optoelectronic devices, including high photon attenuation and fast and efficient emission properties, also make them promising scintillator materials. By outlining the key mechanisms of their operation as scintillators, we show why reports of remarkable performance have already emerged, and describe how further learning from other optoelectronic devices will propel forward their applications as scintillators. Finally, we outline where these materials can make the greatest impact in detector applications by maximally exploiting their unique properties, leading to dramatic improvements in existing detection systems or introducing entirely new functionality.

Abstract
Halide perovskites are promising materials for light-emitting and light-harvesting applications. In this context, two-dimensional perovskites such as nanoplatelets or Ruddlesden-Popper and Dion-Jacobson layered structures are important because of their structural flexibility, electronic confinement, and better stability. This review article brings forth an extensive overview of the recent developments of two-dimensional halide perovskites both in the colloidal and non-colloidal forms. We outline the strategy to synthesize and control the shape and discuss different crystalline phases and optoelectronic properties. We review the applications of two-dimensional perovskites in solar cells, light-emitting diodes, lasers, photodetectors, and photocatalysis. Besides, we also emphasize the moisture, thermal, and photostability of these materials in comparison to their three-dimensional analogs.

Abstract
Replacing methylammonium (MA+ ), formamidine (FA+ ), and/or cesium (Cs+ ) in 3D metal halide perovskites by larger organic cations have built a series of low-dimensional metal halide perovskites (LDMHPs) in which the inorganic metal halide octahedra arranging in the forms of 2D layers, 1D chains, and 0D points. These LDMHPs exhibit significantly different optoelectronic properties from 3D metal halide perovskites (MHPs) due to their unique quantum confinement effects and large exciton binding energies. In particular, LDMHPs often have excellent broadband luminescence from self-trapped excitons. Chemical composition, hydrogen bonding, and external factors (temperature and pressure etc.) determine structures and influence photoelectric properties of LDMHPs greatly, and especially it seems that there is no definite regulation to predict the structure and photoelectric properties when a random cation, metal, and halide is chosen to design a LDMHP. Therefore, this review discusses the construction strategies of the recent reported LDMHPs and their application progress in the luminescence field for a better understanding of these factors and a prospect for LDMHPs' development in the future.

Abstract
The zero-dimensional (0D) metal halides comprising isolated metal-halide polyhedra are the smallest inorganic quantum systems and accommodate quasi-localized Frenkel excitons with unique photophysics of broadband luminescence, huge Stokes shift, and long lifetime. Little is known about the role of polyhedron type in the characteristics of 0D metal halides. We comparatively study three novel kinds of 0D hybrid tin halides having identical organic groups. They are efficient light emitters with a maximal quantum yield of 92.3%. Their most stable phases are composed of octahedra for the bromide and iodide but disphenoids for the chloride. They separately exhibit biexponential and monoexponential luminescence decays due to different symmetries and electronic structures. The chloride has the largest absorption and smallest emission photon energies. A proposed model regarding unoccupied-energy-band degeneracy explains well the experimental phenomena and reveals the crucial role of polyhedron type in determining optical properties of the 0D tin halides.

Abstract
We report the optical and scintillation properties of (C6H5CH2NH3)2SnBr4 with excellent absorption length at 20 keV of 0.016 cm, measured bandgap of 2.51 eV, and photoluminescence lifetime of 1.05 μs. The light yield obtained with the 241Am source is 3600 ± 600 photons per MeV, which is much smaller than the maximum attainable light yield obtained from the bandgap. Temperature dependent radioluminescence measurements confirm the presence of thermal quenching at room temperature with the activation energy and the ratio between the attempt and the radiative transition rates of 61 meV and 129, respectively. Although thermal quenching affects light yield at room temperature, this green light-emitting perovskite opens an avenue for new lead-free scintillating materials. A new tin perovskite material with green emission is investigated as a new scintillator for imaging readout. Temperature dependent measurements were studied to understand the mechanism and to improve the future lead-free scintillator.![]()

Abstract
Lead-halide perovskites have demonstrated astonishing increases in power conversion efficiency in photovoltaics over the last decade. The most efficient perovskite devices now outperform industry-standard multi-crystalline silicon solar cells, despite the fact that perovskites are typically grown at low temperature using simple solution-based methods. However, the toxicity of lead and its ready solubility in water are concerns for widespread implementation. These challenges, alongside the many successes of the perovskites, have motivated significant efforts across multiple disciplines to find lead-free and stable alternatives which could mimic the ability of the perovskites to achieve high performance with low temperature, facile fabrication methods. This Review discusses the computational and experimental approaches that have been taken to discover lead-free perovskite-inspired materials, and the recent successes and challenges in synthesizing these compounds. The atomistic origins of the extraordinary performance exhibited by lead-halide perovskites in photovoltaic devices is discussed, alongside the key challenges in engineering such high-performance in alternative, next-generation materials. Beyond photovoltaics, this Review discusses the impact perovskite-inspired materials have had in spurring efforts to apply new materials in other optoelectronic applications, namely light-emitting diodes, photocatalysts, radiation detectors, thin film transistors and memristors. Finally, the prospects and key challenges faced by the field in advancing the development of perovskite-inspired materials towards realization in commercial devices is discussed.

Abstract
Lead-based halide perovskites have received great attention in light-emitting applications due to their excellent properties, including high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), tunable emission wavelength, and facile solution preparation. In spite of excellent characteristics, the presence of toxic element lead directly obstructs their further commercial development. Hence, exploiting lead-free halide perovskite materials with superior properties is urgent and necessary. In this review, the deep-seated reasons that benefit light emission for halide perovskites, which help to develop lead-free halide perovskites with excellent performance, are first emphasized. Recent advances in lead-free halide perovskite materials (single crystals, thin films, and nanocrystals with different dimensionalities) from synthesis, crystal structures, optical and optoelectronic properties to applications are then systematically summarized. In particular, phosphor-converted LEDs and electroluminescent LEDs using lead-free halide perovskites are fully examined. Ultimately, based on current development of lead-free halide perovskites, the future directions of lead-free halide perovskites in terms of materials and light-emitting devices are discussed.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have emerged as a frontrunner semiconductor technology for application in third generation photovoltaics while simultaneously making significant strides in other areas of optoelectronics. Photodetectors are one of the latest additions in an expanding list of applications of this fascinating family of materials. The extensive range of possible inorganic and hybrid perovskites coupled with their processing versatility and ability to convert external stimuli into easily measurable optical/electrical signals makes them an auspicious sensing element even for the high-energy domain of the electromagnetic spectrum. Key to this is the ability of MHPs to accommodate heavy elements while being able to form large, high-quality crystals and polycrystalline layers, making them one of the most promising emerging X-ray and γ-ray detector technologies. Here, the fundamental principles of high-energy radiation detection are reviewed with emphasis on recent progress in the emerging and fascinating field of metal halide perovskite-based X-ray and γ-ray detectors. The review starts with a discussion of the basic principles of high-energy radiation detection with focus on key performance metrics followed by a comprehensive summary of the recent progress in the field of perovskite-based detectors. The article concludes with a discussion of the remaining challenges and future perspectives.

Abstract
Halides of ns2 metal ions have recently regained broad research interest as bright narrowband and broadband emitters. Sb(III) is particularly appealing for its oxidative stability (compared to Ge2+ and Sn2+) and low toxicity (compared to Pb2+). Square pyramidal SbX5 anion had thus far been the most common structural motif for realizing high luminescence efficiency, typically when cocrystallized with an organic cation. Luminescent hybrid organic-inorganic halides with octahedral coordination of Sb(III) remain understudied, whereas fully inorganic compounds show very limited structural engineerability. We show that the host-guest complexation of alkali metal cations with crown ethers fosters the formation of zero-dimensional Sb(III) halides and allows for adjusting the coordination number (5 or 6). The obtained compounds exhibit bright photoluminescence with quantum yields of up to 89% originating from self-trapped excitons, with emission energies, Stokes shifts, and luminescence lifetimes finely-adjustable by structural engineering. A combination of environmental stability and strong, intrinsic temperature-dependence of the luminescence lifetimes in the nanosecond-to-microsecond range nominate these compounds as highly potent luminophores for remote thermometry and thermography owing to their sensitivity range of 200-450 K and high specific sensitivities of 0.04 °C-1.
