New bismuth-based organic-inorganic hybrid materials show exceptional sensitivity and long-term stability as X-ray detectors, significantly more sensitive than commercial X-ray detectors. In addition, these materials can be produced without solvents by ball milling, a mechanochemical synthesis process that is environmentally friendly and scalable. More sensitive detectors would allow for a reduction in the radiation exposure during X-ray examinations.

Perovskites: Hybrid materials as highly sensitive X-ray detectors

Study shows: A new organic-inorganic bismuth material is significantly more sensitive than conventional X-ray detectors and can be produced in a green way using ball milling.
