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

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 CH3NH3PbBr3 and CsPbBr3 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.
