Green Fabrication of Sulfonium‐Containing Bismuth Materials for High‐Sensitivity X‐Ray Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
[(CH3CH2)3S]6Bi8I30 and [[(CH3CH2)3S]AgBiI5 are introduced as novel X‐ray detector materials with exceptional sensitivity and low detection limits. Produced via scalable, green synthesis, they remain highly durable after 9 months of storage and continuous X‐ray use, setting a new benchmark for medical imaging and outperforming many existing and ...
