Transparent 0D Antimony Halides Glassy Wafer with Near‐Unity Photoluminescence Quantum Yield for High Spatial Resolution X‐Ray Imaging

Abstract Large‐sized transparent scintillators with a high photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY) and self‐absorption‐free properties are highly desired to achieve high spatial resolution X‐ray imaging. In this research, a transparent 0D organic–inorganic (ETP) 2 SbCl 5 (ETP = Ethyl triphenylphosphine) amorphous wafer is developed by melting the ETPCl and SbCl 3 mixture and then undergoing a quenching process. The obtained amorphous wafer exhibits a high light transmittance of 86% in the range of 450–800 nm. It also shows a light emission peak at 624 nm, a Stokes shift of 259 nm, and PLQY approaching unity (99.3%). These properties enable it to produce X‐ray images with a high spatial resolution of 19.0 lp mm −1 at a modulation transfer function (MTF) value of 0.2, among the best values reported. Additionally, it also shows remarkable stability under continuous X‐ray illumination. Its unique optical properties and ability to be processed in large sizes make the organic–inorganic metal halide transparent wafer a promising scintillator. This also demonstrates the potential application of the melt‐quenching method in fabricating highly luminescent, low‐electronic‐dimensional metal halide wafers.
