Abstract:
The fast rising demand for the ultralow detection limit of ionizing radiation in medical radiography, high-energy physics and security screening, has led to extensive research on X-ray imaging scintillators and detections. However, high-performance scintillators consist mainly of ceramic that needs harsh and costly preparation conditions. Therefore, searching for new scintillation materials is of great interest to material scientists, chemists, and engineers. Organic emitters and perovskites, are excellent candidates as scintillation materials due to their good processability and low-fabrication cost. In this talk, we will present the room-temperature synthesis of a colloidal scintillator comprising CsPbBr3 nanosheets of large concentration (up to 150 mg/mL). We found that the CsPbBr3 colloid exhibits a light yield (∼21000 photons/MeV) higher than that of the commercially available Ce:LuAG single-crystal scintillator (∼18000 photons/MeV). Interestingly, we reveal that the energy transfer process inside those stacked thin and thick nanosheet solids is indeed responsible for their superb scintillation performance. Moreover, we will present a highly efficient energy transfer strategy between the interfaces of these CsPbBr3 perovskite nanosheets and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) to obtain an efficient and reabsorption-free organic X-ray imaging scintillator with excellent performance. More specifically, the fabricated nanocomposite scintillators exhibit a high X-ray imaging resolution of around 100 μm and a low detection limit of 38.7 nGy/s. This detection limit is about 142 times lower than a typical dose of X-ray medical imaging, making this composite an excellent candidate for X-ray radiography.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
