摘要

X-ray detection has extensive applications in medical imaging, scientific research, and security inspection. Despite the superior radiation detection properties of lead-based perovskites, including high carrier mobility and superior attenuation efficiency, their toxicity and instability arising from ion migration hinders further development. To address these challenges, a series of halogen-tuned lead-free 3-methylpiperidine bismuth halides, (C6H14N)3Bi2I9, (C6H14N)2BiBr5 and (C6H14N)2BiCl5 (C6H14N = 3-methylpiperidine) single crystals were grown and systematically characterized. 3-methylpiperidine was selected for its steric effect stabilizing the lattice, and the synergistic tuning through halogen variation enabled a structural transition along with modulation of their properties. Notably, the lateral-structured (C6H14N)3Bi2I9 single-crystal X-ray detector exhibits a sensitivity of 388.05 μC Gy−1 cm−2, a low detection limit of 71.05 nGy s−1, and a small dark current drift of 2.16 × 10–8 nA cm−1 s−1 V−1. Importantly, this material retains its original morphology after 8 months of storage in ambient conditions. Furthermore, flexible X-ray devices fabricated via spin-coating (C6H14N)3Bi2I9 exhibited a favorable X-ray response with a sensitivity of 121.48 μC Gy−1 cm−2, as well as excellent mechanical stability. This work reveals that halogen tuning effectively optimizes the structure and performance of Bi-based perovskites, providing valuable insights for advancing them in X-ray detection applications.
