Abstract

Lead-halide perovskite single crystal (SC) heterojunctions have attracted significant attention for X-ray detection owing to their unique combination of high sensitivity, resolution, stability and low detection limit. However, the toxicity of lead in those perovskite heterojunctions limits their practical applications. Herein, we report the construction of the first all-inorganic lead-free Cs₂AgBiBr₆/Cs₃Bi₂Br₉ SC heterojunctions with an area of 20 × 20 mm² via a facile liquid-phase epitaxial method through temperature-lowering crystallization. The epitaxial crystallization of the three-dimensional (3D) Cs₂AgBiBr₆ SC film on a 2D Cs₃Bi₂Br₉ SC substrate requires a large driving force for transitioning from the Volmer–Weber mode to the layer-by-layer growth mode under a rapid cooling rate. The Cs₂AgBiBr₆/Cs₃Bi₂Br₉ SC heterojunction detector achieves a high sensitivity of 1390 µC Gy_air⁻¹ cm⁻² for 100 keV hard X-ray detection at room temperature, which is enhanced to 2075 µC Gy_air⁻¹ cm⁻² at 75°C, demonstrating impressive high-temperature stability. Moreover, the detector achieves a detection limit of 37.48 nGy_air s⁻¹ and excellent stability for 90 days without any encapsulation. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using the epitaxial mechanism of perovskite formation on a high-surface-energy substrate for the controllable construction of a 3D/2D heterojunction that significantly enhances X-ray detection performance.
