Abstract

Abstract High‐resolution X‐ray imaging is increasingly required for medical diagnosis and large‐area detection. However, the issues of scattering and optical crosstalk are limiting the spatial resolution of the indirect X‐ray imaging. In this study, a feasible and efficient strategy is proposed to in situ synthesize flexible Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 :2%In + @paper as a superior scintillator film, which can be scaled up to an ultra‐large area of 4800 cm 2 . The as‐obtained Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 :2%In + @paper performs a fascinating photoluminescence quantum efficiency up to 88.14%, a steady state light yield of 70169 photons/MeV, and spatial resolution of 15 lp mm −1 . Moreover, the suppressed physical scattering and optical crosstalk of the corresponding film are demonstrated. Accordingly, this work explores a feasible fabrication of customizable scintillation films with large area for high‐resolution X‐ray detection.
