Abstract

Read online

Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites have been emerged as promising candidates for X-ray detectors while toxicity and instability are known issues. Here, Zhang et al. grow large size lead-free single crystals for high performance X-ray detection and imaging devices that can operate at 100 °C.
