Organic-inorganic hybrid copper-based halide clusters, as a scintillating material, possess characteristics of low toxicity, excellent optical properties, and easy processing. This paper discusses and summarizes the effects of ligand and metal core structure regulation on the photoluminescence properties of copper-based halide cluster scintillators, the impact of introducing heavy atoms on the detection limits and spatial resolution of these scintillators, preparation methods for copper-based halide cluster scintillator films, and strategies for improving film stability. Finally, the paper explores the application prospects of scintillators based on organic-inorganic hybrid halide clusters
