Tetraphenylene-based semiconductive metal–organic framework crystals for direct X-ray detection and imaging

Abstract

MOFs have good potential for X-ray detection, but direct X-ray detection in single crystal form is rarely reported. In this work, we successfully synthesized Pb-TCPE, and the single crystal achieves a low detection limit and high detection sensitivity of 4812.6 μC Gy_air⁻¹ cm⁻², which exhibits great potential for X-ray detection and imaging.
