Abstract

An embodiment relates to a composition including at least two powders. The powders are selected from the group including a powder including a p-doped perovskite; a powder including an n-doped perovskite; and a powder including an undoped perovskite. A method for producing the composition, a method for producing a detector using the composition, and a detector, in particular an X-ray detector, produced thereby are also disclosed.

Claims (31)

1. A composition comprising at least two powders, wherein the powders are selected from the group consisting of a powder comprising a p-doped perovskite, a powder comprising an n-doped perovskite, and a powder comprising an undoped perovskite, wherein the at least two powders are intermixed or are present as separate phases, and wherein the p-doped and the n-doped perovskite is a material selected from the group of ABX 3 and AB 2 X 4 , where A is a positively charged element from the 4th period or above of the periodic table and/or mixtures therefrom, B is a monovalent cation whose volume parameter for the respective element A is sufficient for perovskite lattice formation, and X is an anion of chloride, bromide or iodide.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the powders have particles with an average particle size of 0.5 to 200 μm.

3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the powders have particles with an average particle size of 0.8 to 100 μm.

4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the powders have particles with an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm.

5. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the composition comprises at least a powder comprising the p-doped perovskite and a powder comprising the n-doped perovskite which are thoroughly mixed with one another.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the powder comprising the p-doped perovskite and a powder comprising the n-doped perovskite which are thoroughly mixed with one another.

7. A method for producing a detector, comprising:

providing a substrate comprising a first electrode;

depositing the composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition of claim 1 is compressed to form a compressed layer;

depositing the first electrode and where appropriate, a substrate on a first side of the compressed layer; and

depositing a second electrode on a side opposite the first side of the compressed layer.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the composition comprises at least a powder comprising the p-doped perovskite and a powder comprising the n-doped perovskite, thoroughly mixed with one another, wherein the compression results in the formation of a first layer in which the p-doped perovskite and the n-doped perovskite are present in a mix.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein in addition, at least one of a second layer comprising the p-doped perovskite and a third layer comprising the n-doped perovskite is formed, the at least one second layer being introduced between the first layer and at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the undoped perovskite is introduced into at least one of the first layer, the second layer and the third layer.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the undoped perovskite is introduced into at least one of the first layer, the second layer and the third layer.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least two powders are present as separate phases.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the composition comprises at least a powder comprising the p-doped perovskite and a powder comprising the n-doped perovskite, wherein the p-doped perovskite and the n-doped perovskite are present separately in a first layer comprising p-doped perovskite and a second layer comprising n-doped perovskite.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein a third layer, which comprises the undoped perovskite, is introduced between the first layer and second layer.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein in addition a third layer comprising the p-doped perovskite and the undoped perovskite is introduced adjacent to at least one of the first layer and a fourth layer comprising the n-doped perovskite and the undoped perovskite is introduced adjacent to the second layer.

16. A detector, produced according to the method of claim 7 .

17. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the powders are homogeneously intermixed, or are present as separate phases.

18. A method for producing a composition comprising at least two powders, the powders being selected from the group consisting of a powder comprising a p-doped perovskite, and a powder comprising an n-doped perovskite, a powder comprising a p-doped perovskite, and a powder comprising an undoped perovskite, wherein the p-doped and the n-doped perovskite is a material selected from the group of ABX 3 and AB 2 X 4 , where A is a positively charged element from the 4th period or above of the periodic table and/or mixtures therefrom, B is a monovalent cation whose volume parameter for the respective element A is sufficient for perovskite lattice formation, and X is an anion of chloride, bromide or iodide, the method comprising:

providing the at least two powders;

adding the at least two powders to one another; and

mixing the at least two powders together, if necessary.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

cooling prior to the intermixing, at least one of the powder comprising a p-doped perovskite, the powder comprising an n-doped perovskite, and the powder comprising undoped perovskite, the cooling being done in an inert gas to a temperature of 10° C. or less.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the powders are mixed and the intermixing is performed for a time period of less than 600 s.

21. The method of claim 18 , wherein the powders are mixed and the intermixing is performed for a time period of less than 600 s.

22. The method of claim 18 , wherein the powders are mixed and the intermixing is performed for a time period of less than 300 s.

23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the powders are mixed and the intermixing is performed for a time period of less than 180 s.
