Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of fascinating supramolecular crystalline materials that have been widely developed for catalysis, gas storage, illumination, drug delivery/cytoprotection, and so on. Recently, MOFs have been found to have potential applications in X-ray detection due to their high sensitivity, fast response time, high absorption coefficient, and radiation stability. In this review, we present an overview on the fundamental mechanism of using MOFs for X-ray scintillation. We further discuss the recent developments in X-ray detection based on indirect X-ray scintillation and direct X-ray conversion. Finally, we provide a summary and a perspective on the future of this promising research field.
