Abstract
Inorganic halide double perovskite (DP) nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted great attention because of their nontoxicity, mild reaction conditions, good stability, and excellent optical and optoelectronic properties. Herein, we prepare the inorganic terbium halide DP Cs2BTbCl6 (B = Na or Ag) NCs with bright green photoluminescence (PL) emission. The Na-Tb-based DP NCs exhibit better PL properties compared with the Ag-Tb-based DP NCs, which is due to Cs2NaTbCl6 NCs having a more localized charge carrier distribution on the [TbCl6]3- octahedron. The incorporation of Sb3+ dopant in Cs2NaTbCl6 NCs can construct a more efficient energy transfer process, resulting in a doubling of PL efficiency. Furthermore, Cs2NaTbCl6: Sb3+ NCs possess excellent X-ray scintillating performance with a low-dose detection limit of 140 nGyair/s, which is nearly 5 times more sensitive than the undoped NCs. The optimized NCs show great application prospects in X-ray imaging. This work helps deepen the understanding of the luminescence mechanism, excited state dynamics, and scintillation property in Tb-based DP NCs.
