摘要
A novel imaging platform to determine the open-circuit voltage of solar cells with nanoscale spatial resolution is presented. Here, a variant of illuminated Kelvin probe force microscopy can be implemented to quantify local variations in the voltage of different solar cells. The new metrology can be applied to any optoelectronic device, and works in ambient environments. © 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
