Lead halide perovskite quantum dots based liquid scintillator for x-ray detection

Abstract Lead halide quantum dots (QDs) have unique optical properties such as a tunable wavelength, narrow band, and high quantum efficiency, and have been used in optoelectronics such as light-emitting diode device, and photodetector. Recently, solution-processed perovskite has also attracted great attention for high sensitivity x-ray detector. Here, we have investigated the scintillation performances of Pb halide perovskite QDs solution. Both CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 and CsPbBr 3 QDs liquid scintillator exhibits the scintillation performances such as the linear relationship with the irradiation dose rate in a wide range, high radiation hardness, thermal stability, and fast counting speed. The scintillation performances of these liquid perovskite QDs solution provide a promising potential application for indirect radiation applications including fast gamma-ray counter and wide range dosimeter.
