Indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) is expected to be widely applicable to operate low-power Internet of Things (IoT) electronics used in indoor environment, which makes IPVs attractive as an emerging sustainable energy harvester. Among various photovoltaic materials, perovskites exhibit promising indoor power conversion efficiency (iPCE) because of their compelling optoelectronic advantages over the other materials.

In this study, we developed a simple and effective interface treatment of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for improving iPCE under low-intensity LED light. We passivated traps at the surface of electron transport SnO layer by layering RbI. This treatment significantly reduced charge recombination at the SnO/perovskite interface, which enabled considerable enhancement of iPCE of PSCs from 32.12 to 35.13 % under 1000 lux LED. More specifically, through systemic characterizations we systemically revealed that reduced interface recombination improved open circuit voltage and charge extraction property at indoor light illumination condition. These findings suggest that simple interface treatment using RbI can be a useful strategy for the iPCE optimization of indoor PSCs.
