Lead-free Cs 3 Cu 2 Cl 5 metal halide exhibits high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), large Stokes shifts and small self-absorption due to self-trapped excitons (STE) emission, which undoubtedly is a potential scintillator material. However, Cs 3 Cu 2 Cl 5 nanocrystals (NCs) are susceptible to degradation by moisture at high humidity environment, which severely affects its long-term application in X-ray imaging. Herein, we prepared Cs 3 Cu 2 Cl 5 scintillator films with a PLQY of 72.4% and a high spatial resolution of 20 lp mm−1. Moreover, we firstly propose a self-healing strategy with facile microwave treatment to recover the crystal structure of Cs 3 Cu 2 Cl 5 film which damaged by moisture, while the photoluminescence (PL) and radioluminescence (RL) intensities of the damaged Cs 3 Cu 2 Cl 5 film are repaired to more than 95% and the spatial resolution can be restored to 20 lp mm−1. Furtherly, the imaging quality of the self-healing scintillator film can be maintained stably by cyclic microwave treatment. It found that microwave treatment provides a simultaneous and molecular level heating environment for the Cs 3 Cu 2 Cl 5 film, which drives the hydrolysates to re-crystallize along with the surface of the destroyed crystals. Therefore, microwave treatment opens a new avenue to recover Cs 3 Cu 2 Cl 5 films degraded by moisture, and provides a solution for long-term application of scintillator films at low cost.
