Article Abstract
Fast-decaying scintillators show subnanoseconds or nanoseconds lifetime and high time resolution, making them important in nuclear physics, medical diagnostics, scientific research, and other fields. Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) show great potential for scintillator applications owing to their easy synthesis procedure and attractive optical properties. However, MHPs scintillators still need further improvement in decay lifetime. To optimize the decay lifetime, great progress has been achieved recently. In this Perspective, we first summarize the structural characteristics of MHPs in various dimensions, which brings different exciton behaviors. Then, recent advances in designing fast-decaying MHPs according to different exciton behaviors have been concluded, focusing on the photophysical mechanisms to achieve fast-decaying lifetimes. These advancements in decay lifetimes could facilitate the MHPs scintillators in advanced applications, such as time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET), photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT), etc. Finally, the challenges and future opportunities are discussed to provide a roadmap for designing novel fast-decaying MHPs scintillators.

Low dimensional metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have a soft lattice, leading to strong exciton phonon coupling and exciton localization. Microstructural stiffness engineering is an effective tool for modulating the mechanical and electrical properties of materials, but its complex effects on the luminescence of low dimensional MHPs remain lacking. Here, we report microstructural stiffness engineering of low dimensional MHPs by halogen replacement in Ag-X bonds and [AgX] (X = Br, Cl) units to increase the Young's modulus from 15.
