ABSTRACT
X-ray scintillators are widely used in medical imaging, industrial flaw detection, security inspection, and space exploration. However, traditional commercial scintillators are usually associated with a high use cost because of their substantial toxicity and easy deliquescence. In this work, an atomically precise Au-Cu cluster scintillator (1) with a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) property was facilely synthesized, which is environmentally friendly and highly stable to water and oxygen. The TADF property of 1 endows it with an ultrahigh exciton utilization rate. Combined with the effective absorption of X-ray caused by the heavy-atom effect and a limited nonradiative transition caused by close packing in the crystal state, 1 exhibits an excellent radioluminescence property. Moreover, 1 has good processability for fabricating a large, flexible thin-film device (10 cm × 10 cm) for high-resolution X-ray imaging, which can reach 40 µm (12.5 LP mm-1). The properties mentioned earlier make the coinage metal cluster promising for use as a substitute for traditional commercial scintillators.
