Highly Resolved and Robust Dynamic X‐Ray Imaging Using Perovskite Glass‐Ceramic Scintillator with Reduced Light Scattering

All-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) CsPbX₃ (X = Cl, Br, and I) have recently emerged as a new promising class of X-ray scintillators. However, the instability of perovskite QDs and the strong optical scattering of the thick opaque QD scintillator film imped it to realize high-quality and robust X-ray image. Herein, the europium (Eu) doped CsPbBr₃ QDs are in situ grown inside transparent amorphous matrix to form glass-ceramic (GC) scintillator with glass phase serving as both matrix and encapsulation for the perovskite QD scintillators. The small amount of Eu dopant optimizes the crystallization of CsPbBr₃ QDs and makes their distribution more uniform in the glass matrix, which can significantly reduce the light scattering and also enhance the photoluminescence emission of CsPbBr₃ QDs. As a result, a remarkably high spatial resolution of 15.0 lp mm^-1 is realized thanks to the reduced light scattering, which is so far a record resolution for perovskite scintillator based X-ray imaging, and the scintillation stability is also significantly improved compared to the bare perovskite QD scintillators. Those results provide an effective platform particularly for the emerging perovskite nanocrystal scintillators to reduce light scattering and improve radiation hardness.
