Lattice engineering for stabilized black FAPbI₃ perovskite single crystals for high-resolution x-ray imaging at the lowest dose.

ABSTRACT: Preliminary theoretical analyses indicate that lattice relaxation may be used to release lattice strain in the FAPbI₃ perovskite to warrant both high x-ray detection performance and improved stability. Herein, we demonstrate stable black α-phase FAPbI₃ single crystals (SCs) realized by lattice engineering via annealing in the ambient atmosphere. The engineered α-FAPbI₃ SC detector shows almost all the best figures of merit including a high sensitivity of 4.15 × 10⁵ μC Gy_air^-1 cm^-2, a low detection limit of 1.1 nGy_air s^-1, a high resolution of 15.9 lp mm^-1, and a short response time of 214 μs. We further demonstrate high-definition x-ray imaging at a dose rate below 10 nGy_air</
