Here, we revisit the world’s oldest but long-ignored photovoltaic material with the emergence of indoor photovoltaics (IPVs); the absorption spectrum of Se perfectly matches the emission spectra of commonly used indoor light sources in the 400 to 700 nm range.
1.1. Indoor photovoltaics Indoor photovoltaics (IPV) emerged in PV technology in present scenario due to the ease of power generation under simple indoor light conditions and also serve the fastest energy supplements for growing technologies like Internet of Things (IoT).
Therefore, the fabrication of specially designed solar cells for indoor applications is not an easy task. Different parameters of solar cells must be optimized for indoor light conditions. The device should be designed in such a manner that it can operate efficiently under the illumination of the most commonly used indoor light sources.
IPVs thereby become a growing research field, where various types of PV technologies including dye-sensitized solar cells (14, 15), organic photovoltaics (16, 17), and lead-halide perovskite solar cells (18 – 20) have been explored for IPVs measured under indoor light sources including LEDs and FLs.

A particularly promising route to addressing these challenges is to use photovoltaics (PV) to harvest ambient light inside buildings to power indoor IoT devices. Indeed, indoor photovoltaics (IPV) are widely deployable because of the common availability of lighting inside buildings and their reliance on radiative energy transfer.

With the growing development of the Internet of Things, organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells are highly desirable for indoor applications because of the unique features of light weight, flexibility, and coloration.
