Research Highlights: Reverse-bias enabled mesoscale shunt passivation for organic photovoltaic modules to power miniaturised Ambient IoTs under low-light conditions

The random distribution of shunt resistance in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) compromises device performance and reproducibility, particularly under low-light conditions, which are typical operation conditions of Ambient Internet of Things (A-IoT) applications. In this work, we identify the morphological origin of shunt resistance and introduce a universally applicable strategy to mitigate it in both OPV devices and mini-modules.Read More
