As a typical representative of all-inorganic lead halide perovskites, cesium lead bromine (CsPbBr3) has been regarded as the workhorse of next-generation room temperature X-ray detectors in recent years.
A combination of microscopy, X-ray scattering, calorimetry and applied electric field studies demonstrates the 4-alkoxy-4′-nitrobiphenyls are potentially of use for next generation, backlight free scattering mode LCD devices.
