Cuprous complex scintillators show promise for X-ray detection with abundant raw materials, diverse luminescent mechanisms, and adjustable structures. However, their synthesis typically requires a significant amount of organic solvents, which conflict green chemistry principles. Herein, we present the two high-performance cuprous using simple mechanochemical method first time, namely [CuI(PPh
