Abstract
Perovskite scintillators have emerged as good candidates for next-generation X-ray detectors due to their excellent scintillation efficiency and controllable properties by compositions. However, moisture stability and large-area X-ray imaging are still major concerns. Here, we report two 0D lead-free perovskite structures with different ionic arrangements formed by co-assembling solvent molecules with perovskite ions. Different solvent molecules of hydrogen oxide (H2O) and acetonitrile (CH3CN) were self-assembled into a crystal lattice to modulate the ion arrangements of two new single crystals 4-diethylaminobenzoic acid manganese(II) bromide hydrogen oxide ((DABA)2MnBr4·H2O) and 4-diethylaminobenzoic acid manganese(II) bromide acetonitrile ((DABA)2MnBr4·CH3CN). The solvent co-assembled perovskite single crystal exhibits excellent moisture stability under ambient conditions for one month without any encapsulation, and is a good candidate for a low-cost and high-performance scintillator. The multiple supramolecular interactions within the two single crystals offer efficient driving forces for self-assembly, and the excitons are better confined in the (DABA)2MnBr4·H2O crystals than that in (DABA)2MnBr4·CH3CN crystals, resulting in a higher photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 51%. The light yield of (DABA)2MnBr4·H2O to 120 keV can reach 28?333 photons MeV?1. In addition, constructed strong hydrogen bonds in (DABA)2MnBr4·H2O ensure good capability to suppress thermal PL quenching due to the reduced electron-phonon interactions. Large-area scintillators with a dimension size of 2.4 cm × 3.0 cm exhibit comparable X-ray imaging capability with spatial resolutions up to 5.0 lp mm?1, providing a new design route for the perovskite scintillator family.
