Perovskite solar cells have attracted much attention due to its high power conversion efficiency and low cost processability. Thanks to the band gap tunability of perovskite compounds, perovskite solar cells are available under various light sources which have different spectrum. For example, perovskite solar cells show high power conversion efficiency even under indoor lightings [1]. A power conversion efficiency of over 40% has been achieved under 824.5 lx LED illumination [2]. Although perovskite solar cells are one of a promising candidates for indoor energy harvesting as above, they show quite large hysteresis under low illuminance conditions even there are no hysteresis under 1 sun condition. Here, we investigated the origin of large hysteresis under low illuminance conditions. Through the characterization of each component of perovskite solar cells under various conditions, we assumed defects in perovskite layer is one of a key factors to reduce the hysteresis under low illuminance conditions. We achieved hysteresis free perovskite solar cells even under 200 lx LED illumination by modification.
