Graphical Abstract

A solvent-based approach is designed and demonstrated to produce CsPbBr3 micro-bricks for compact microcrystalline perovskite wafers for X-ray detectors. The direct X-ray detector with the structure of Au/perovskite/[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl (PCBM)/Au shows a high sensitivity of 14,430 µC·Gyair−1·cm−2 and low detection limit of 564 nGyair·s−1.

Abstract

Inorganic perovskite wafers with good stability and adjustable sizes are promising in X-ray detection but the high synthetic temperature is a hindrance. Herein, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used to prepare the CsPbBr3 micro-bricks powder at room temperature. The CsPbBr3 powder has a cubic shape with few crystal defects, small charge trap density, and high crystallinity. A trace amount of DMSO attaches to the surface of the CsPbBr3 micro-bricks via Pb–O bonding, forming the CsPbBr3-DMSO adduct. During hot isostatic processing, the released DMSO vapor merges the CsPbBr3 micro-bricks, producing a compact and dense CsPbBr3 wafer with minimized grain boundaries and excellent charge transport properties. The CsPbBr3 wafer shows a large mobility-lifetime (μτ) product of 5.16 × 10-4 cm2·V−1, high sensitivity of 14,430 µC·Gyair−1·cm−2, low detection limit of 564 nGyair·s−1, as well as robust stability in X-ray detection. The results reveal a novel strategy with immense practical potential pertaining to high-contrast X-ray detection.
