Achieving Low ‐Dose Rate X‐Ray Imaging Based on 2D/3D‐Mixed Perovskite Films

Large-scale X-ray detectors based on 2D/3D mixed perovskite are fabricated via spraying coating method. The addition of 2D perovskite effectively inhibits the ion migration of the detector, thus reducing the lowest detection limit. Consequently, the required dose rate for X-ray imaging can be significantly diminished, offering advancements in medical imaging with lower radiation exposure. AbstractX-ray detection and imaging are widely used in medical diagnosis, product inspection, security monitoring, etc. Large-scale polycrystalline perovskite thick films possess high potential for direct X-ray imaging. However, the notorious problems of baseline drift and high detection limit caused by ions migration are still remained. Here, ion migration is reduced by incorporating 2D perovskite into 3D perovskite, thereby increasing the ion activation energy. This approach hinders ion migration within the perovskite film, consequently suppressing baseline drift and reducing the lowest detection limit(LOD) of the device. As a result, the baseline drifting declines by 20 times and the LOD reduces to 21.1  nGy s−1, while the device maintains a satisfactory sensitivity of 5.6  × 103 µC Gy−1 cm−2. This work provides a new strategy to achieve low ion migration in large-scale X-ray detectors and may provide new thoughts for the application of mixed-dimension perovskite.
