Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) crystals show promise as scintillating materials for wide-energy radiation detection, outperforming their three-dimensional counterparts. In this study, we synthesized single crystals of (PEABZA)PbBr ( ranging from 0.1 to 2), utilizing phenethylammonium (CHCHCHNH) and benzylammonium (CHCHNH) cations.

In this study, we present advancements in enhancing the scintillation properties of methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr) SCs by optimizing the synthesis process. We successfully synthesized millimeter-sized MAPbBr SCs with bright green luminescence under UV light.

Ion doping has been also shown to be a very promising avenue for improvements of the scintillation properties of 2D-HOIP crystals. In this paper, we discuss the effect of rubidium (Rb) doping on two previously reported 2D-HOIP single crystals, BAPbBr and PEAPbBr.

CsPbBr quantum dots (QDs) have recently gained much interest due to their excellent optical and scintillation properties and their potential for X-ray imaging applications. In this study, we blended CsPbBr QDs with resin at different QD concentrations to achieve thick films and to protect the CsPbBr QDs from environmental moisture. Then, their scintillation properties are investigated and compared to the traditional commercial scintillators, CsI:Tl microcolumns, and Gadox layers.
