All‐Inorganic Manganese‐Based CsMnCl3 Nanocrystals for X‐Ray Imaging

Abstract Lead‐based halide perovskite nanomaterials with excellent optical properties have aroused great attention in the fields of solar cells, light‐emitting diodes, lasing, X‐ray imaging, etc. However, the toxicity of lead prompts researchers to develop alternatives to cut down the usage of lead. Herein, all‐inorganic manganese‐based perovskite derivatives, CsMnCl3 nanocrystals (NCs), with uniform size and morphology have been synthesized successfully via a modified hot‐injection method. These NCs have a direct bandgap of 4.08 eV and a broadband emission centered at 660 nm. Through introducing modicum lead (1%) into the CsMnCl3 NCs, the photoluminescence intensity greatly improves, and the quantum yield (PLQY) increases from 0.7% to 21%. Furthermore, the CsMnCl3:1%Pb NCs feature high‐efficiency of X‐ray absorption and radioluminescence, which make these NCs promising candidates for X‐ray imaging.
