Near-Ultraviolet Indoor Black Light-Harvesting Perovskite Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Indoor light-energy-harvesting solar cells have long-standing history with perovskite solar cells (PSCs) recently emerging as potential candidates with high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). However, almost all of the reported studies on indoor light-harvesting solar cells utilize white light in the visible wavelength. Low wavelength near-ultraviolet (UV) lights used under indoor environments are not given attention despite their high photon energy. In this study, perovskite solar cells have been investigated for the first time for harvesting energy from a commercially available near-UV (UV-A) indoor LED light (395-400 nm). Also called black lights, these near-UV lights are commonly used for decoration (e.g., in bars, pubs, aquariums, parties, clubs, body art studios, neon lights, and
