Abstract
The efficient production of high-quality scintillators with long radioluminescence afterglow is crucial for high-performance X-ray luminescence extension imaging.However,scaling-up the synthesis of ligand-free scintillators to fabricate large-area X-ray imaging screens for industrial applications remains a challenge.In this study,we report an efficient method to synthesize ligand-free,lanthanide-doped microscintillators by a one-pot reaction via the concentrated hydrothermal method.The as-synthesized microscintillators exhibit prolonged persistent radioluminescence for up to 30 days after X-ray exposure and remain high stability in air or water for more than 18 months without deterioration.Monte Carlo simulations indi-cate that the size effect is responsible for the excellent afterglow performance of the microscintillators.We employ these high-quality lanthanide-doped microscintillators to fabricate a large-area X-ray imaging detector using a blade-coating method,a spatial resolution of 24.9 lp/mm for X-ray imaging.Our study offers a solution for scaling-up the synthesis of low-cost microscintillators for practical applications.
