Lead-free perovskite has become a shining pearl in the field of direct X-ray detection due to its non-toxicity and excellent optoelectronic properties. However, the high limit of detection (LoD) of X-ray detectors due to high current noise caused by high operating voltages is a major challenge to overcome. Here, we utilized a zero-dimensional lead-free perovskite ferroelectric material (NMP)₃Sb₂Br₉ (1, NMP = N-methylpyrrolidine) to achieve ultra-low LoD self-driven X-ray detection. The self-driven detection mode without external bias has been proven to be an effective means of reducing LoD due to its low current noise characteristics. Additionally, the zero-dimensional distinctive isolated framework results in a high resistivity of 1.39 × 10¹¹ Ω cm, which effectively reduces the current noise and suppresses ion migration. By further combining the ferroelectric-induced bulk photovoltaic effect, the 1-based detector achieves an ultra-low LoD X-ray detection of 84.1 nGyair/s under the self-driven mode, which represents a quite advanced level in the lead-free perovskite X-ray detection region. Our work successfully achieved ultra-low LoD self-driven X-ray detection by combining ferroelectricity with high resistance, providing a promising avenue for the development of low LoD X-ray detectors.
