Abstract:
Lead-halide perovskites have received extensive attention in X-ray imaging applications recently. However, their poor stability, lead toxicity, and strong light self-absorption seriously limit the commercial development. Here, we report a vacancy-ordered Cs2HfCl6 double perovskite for scintillators applications. The Cs2HfCl6 microcrystals (MCs) are characterized by broadband blue emission with a large Stokes shift. Joined experimental-theoretical characterizations reveal the highly localized charge distribution in Cs2HfCl6 and structural distortion of [HfCl6](2-) octahedron in the excited state favor the formation of self-trapped excitons (STEs), which contribute to the broadband emission. Benefiting from the radioluminescence of STEs with negligible self-absorption, the light yield of Cs2HfCl6 scintillator reaches 21700 photons/MeV, and the detection limit is 55 nGy(air) s(-1). Additionally, the Cs2HfCl6 scintillator exhibits extremely low hygroscopicity and good resistance to X-ray irradiation. Further, a large-area scintillator screen (20x20 cm(2)) is fabricated by combining scrape-coating and soft-pressing techniques, showing a spatial resolution of 11.2 lp mm(-1). Given the high spatial resolution and fast light decay of this scintillator screen, static X-ray imaging of bulky objects is realized, and dynamic X-ray imaging of a rotating chopping fan is demonstrated without ghosting effects. These results demonstrate the great commercial promise of Cs2HfCl6 scintillation screens for indirect X-ray detection.
