Organic metal halide hybrid-based scintillation materials are provided, as well as methods of fabricating and using the same. The scintillation materials can be zero-dimensional (OD) organic metal halide hybrid-based scintillation materials, such as 4-(4-(diphenylamino) phenyl)-1-(Propyl)-pyrindinlium zinc bromide ((TPA-P)2ZnBr4), in which at least one metal halide anion (e.g., ZnBr2) act(s) as an X-ray sensitizer and at least one aggregate induced emission (AIE) organic cation (e.g., TPA-P+) act(s) as a light emitter.
