Semiconductors for detecting hard radiation are confronted with considerable problems when operating at high photon fluxes. A perovskite CsPbBr₃ single-crystal detector capable of operating at X-ray fluxes of up to 10¹⁰ photons s^-1 mm^-2 with beam area ≤ 0.25 mm² at 58.61 keV for current-mode X-ray detection is reported. The spectrometer-grade melt-grown CsPbBr₃ detectors show a gamma-ray energy resolution of ~7.5% at 122 keV for ⁵⁷Co and dark current as low as 4.3 nA (0.5 nA mm^-2) at a reverse bias voltage of 200 V (118 V mm^-1). The detector is tested at X-ray energies of 8.2, 10, and 58.61 keV at a synchrotron light source under a reverse bias voltage of up to 1000 V (588 V mm^-1). Under a sufficiently high bias voltage and within several hundreds of seconds X-ray exposure, good photocurrent linearity (goodness of fit R² > 0.99) and reproducibility are obtained up to a flux of ≈10¹⁰ photons s^-1 mm^-2 at beam area 0.25 mm² with Lower Limit of Detection of ≈10⁵ photons s^-1 mm^-2 and Charge Collection Efficiency of ≈100% for 58.61 keV X-rays. Therefore, wide application of CsPbBr₃ detectors in high-flux X-ray detection is anticipated.
