A europium-based metal–organic framework as a high-performance X-ray scintillator

Key Points

• To assess the performance of a europium-based metal-organic framework as a high-efficiency X-ray scintillator.
• Constructed a europium-based metal-organic framework using trinuclear Eu3+ clusters and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate linkers
• Evaluated the scintillation properties under X-ray excitation
• Measured radioluminescence intensity and detection limits.
• The europium-based framework shows intense red radioluminescence under X-ray excitation
• Demonstrated an ultralow detection limit for X-ray scintillation, enhancing sensitivity
• Proven high efficiency in converting X-ray energy into detectable light.
