Abstract

Perovskites nanocrystals (PNCs) have garnered significant research interest in X-ray detection due to their strong X-ray absorption capability, and unique advantages in large area and thick film deposition that result from the decoupling of perovskite crystallization from film formation. However, traditional long-chain ligands used in PNCs, such as oleic acid and oleyl amine, suffer from poor conductivity and susceptibility to detachment, which limits the performance of X-ray detectors based on them. In this study, a strategy is proposed to partially replace long-chain ligands with short-chain counterparts like phenethylammoniumbromide (PEABr) and CF3PEABr, during the synthesis of CsPbBr3 PNCs. This approach leads to a lower defect density, enhanced carrier transport, and suppressed ion migration simultaneously in the resulting PNCs. These PNCs are then combined with organic bulk heterojunction to construct the nanocomposite X-ray detectors, which exhibit an impressive sensitivity of 10787 µC Gyair⁻¹ cm⁻2 and stable dark current baseline under a large electric field of ≈17 000 V cm−1. Finally, a flat panel X-ray imaging sensor is prepared by monolithically integrating the nanocomposite film with a thin-film transistor backplane, enabling high-resolution and real-time X-ray imaging. The image quality is further enhanced through a super-resolution reconstruction approach, effectively facilitating a wide range of practical applications in real-world scenarios.
