Critical light instability in CB/DIO processed PBDTTT-EFT:PC71BM organic photovoltaic devices

Konrad Domanski, Mojtaba Abdi Jalebi

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices often undergo 'burn-in' during the early stages of operation, this period describing the relatively rapid drop in power output before stabilising. For normal and inverted PBDTTT-EFT:PC71BM OPVs prepared according to curre ...
