Solar radiation, especially ultraviolet (UV) light, is a major hazard for most skin‐related cancers. The growing needs for wearable health monitoring systems call for a high‐performance real‐time UV sensor to prevent skin diseases caused by excess UV exposure. To this end, here a novel self‐powered...
