Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Thermoluminescent Materials for Dosimetry Applications

Due to its potential use in many areas, such as radiation dosimetry, medical imaging, and environmental monitoring, thermoluminescent materials have attracted a lot of attention. The creation of materials with improved thermoluminescent qualities, such as higher sensitivity, high radiation response, and stability, has been made possible by the development of novel synthesis pathways and processes. Sol–gel, co-precipitation, and hydrothermal synthesis have all been used to create diverse kinds of thermoluminescent materials, including inorganic chemicals, organic compounds, and nanomaterials. Understanding the structure and characteristics of these materials has been aided by the application of cutting-edge characterization techniques like X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The synthesis of thermoluminescent materials has enormous potential for enhancing radiation detection and monitoring, and continuing studies in this area continue to propel developments in the sector. In this paper, we describe the synthesis processes of various thermoluminescent materials.
