Organic photovoltaics (OPV) have recently gain a tremendous attention as indoor dim-light energy harvesting to powering the devices for Internet of Things application.[1] Nevertheless, the photodegradation mechanism under indoor artificial light is rarely investigated, which is essential for its successful commercialization. In this work, we comparatively study the lifetime and photodegradation behavior of OPV based on PTB7-Th:PC70BM blend under different illumination condition: standard AM 1.5G and LED 2700K.[2] OPV under LED illumination show simultaneously enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 16% and long T80 lifetime of 3,060 min compare to those of OPV illuminated under AM 1.5G condition with PCE of 9.6% and T80 lifetime of only 260 min. Impedance spectroscopy analysis with 3RC equivalent circuit model reveal in which layer is affected most by different illumination aging.
