Abstract
Metal halide scintillators serve as promising candidates for X-ray detection due to their high attenuation coefficients, high light yields, and low-cost solution-processable characteristics. However, the issues of humidity/thermal quenching and mechanical fragility, remain obstacles to the broad and diversified development of metal halide scintillators. Here, this work reports a lead-free, water-stable, stretchable, and self-healing (ethylenebis-triphenylphosphonium manganese (II) bromide (C38H34P2)MnBr4 organogel scintillator that meets X-ray imaging in complex scenarios. The robust organogel scintillator can be stretched with elongation up to 1300% while maintaining the scintillation properties. Activated by the dynamic hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds design, the organogel scintillator exhibits excellent self-healing properties at room temperature to alleviate the vignetting problem of the rigid scintillator films, the X-ray imaging resolution can reach 16.7 lp mm-1. The organogel scintillator can also realize flexible and self-healing X-ray imaging in water, providing a design path for portable devices in harsh conditions.
