Perovskites are considered the most promising semiconductors in the field of optoelectronics. As perovskite-inspired materials, metal halides have attracted new-round attention. One of their interesting features is the efficient excitonic luminescence due to the low-dimensional structure. We develop the one-dimensional (1D) metal halides CsCu2I3 and Rb2AgBr3 with high luminescence capacity based on two different emission mechanisms, self-trapped exciton (STE) and defect-bound exciton (DBE) emission. These two exciton emissions make metal halides demonstrate bright luminescence and ultra-short decay time respectively, fulfilling the ideal request on static and dynamic X-ray scintillation imaging. On the other hand, the 1D structure enables the design of the oriented waveguide structure within the panel device, which could effectively reduce the optical crosstalk and enhance the imaging performance. Our works are eventually applied in the large-area panel X-ray detectors and realize the workable performance. Also, we preliminarily study the mechanism of DBE emission and hope to provide new thinking about the relationship between material property and device performance.
