Abstract: Scintillators are currently widely used in high energy physics, nuclear physics, nuclear
medical imaging, industrial exploration, security inspection and so on. The development of new applications
puts forward the new requirements for scintillators, and it is becoming extremely urgent
to discover the new scintillators. In recent years, perovskite materials present their advantages in the
field of solar cell, light-emitting diode, laser, photodetector, memory and so on, owing to their high
carrier mobility, long diffusion distance and continuously adjustable emission wavelength. Therefore,
the perovskite-based scintillators have attracted great attention and interest due to their low
detection threshold, high light yield, fast attenuation, and tunable emission wavelength. This review
article summarizes the crystal structure and luminescence properties of organic-inorganic hybrid
perovskite and inorganic perovskite scintillators. In addition, the fundamental application of perovskite
scintillators for radiation detection has been discussed. The goal of this review article is to introduce
the recent advances and development in perovskite scintillators, and a particular focus is
given on the challenges and perspectives for their enormous potential application in nuclear medical
imaging and radiation detection.
