There is growing interest in integrating solar cells with low light applications to power sensors, actuators, and consumer electronics. Organic solar cells (OSCs) have been developing quickly in the past few years and recently were shown to be highly suitable for indoor low light applications, often exceeding the efficiency of silicon devices under this lighting. However, the performance of indoor organic solar cell can be limited many factors such as spectrum mismatch between indoor light source and photoactive material absorption, trap mediated charge recombination because low light condition leads to low charge carrier density under which voltage loss become more prominent [1], and large energy gap loss[2]. The emergence of wide gap non-fullerene acceptors has reduced the possibility of large energy gap losses in organic solar cell and enhanced the open circuit voltage close to 1 V under low light condition yet their suitability to reduce trap assisted recombination, and carrier dynamics needs to be studied in more detail to further maximize the performance of organic solar cells under indoor conditions. Representative analysis for indoor organic solar cells from JV and CE/TPV study shown in figure1[3] .
