Abstract

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) changed the world of solution processed semiconductors, previously dominated by organic semiconductors, toward predominantly inorganic materials with a relatively high electron/hole mobility. A series of devices benefit from their optoelectronic properties, including X-ray detectors. After the introduction of MHP X-ray detectors in 2013, they have achieved significant improvements in the form of single crystals, polycrystalline materials, and pixelated imaging devices. In addition, MHPs in the form of colloidal nanocrystals act as excellent scintillators. We see the bright future of MHPs in energy resolved X-ray detection, either achieved in the single counting mode, or in nanocrystal multilayer stacked devices, acting as a combination of selective X-ray filters and scintillators.
