We carry out density functional theory calculation to enhance the Rashba spin splitting (RSS) of BiTeI by modifying the interlayer interaction. It is shown that RSS increases as the Te layer approaches to adjacent Bi layer or the I layer recedes from the Bi layer. Our results indicate that the RSS can be sensitively increased by introducing a vacancy on the Te site to make effective Bi-Te distance shorter. It is also found that the difference of Te p orbital character between two spin-split bands increases when the RSS is developed along crystal momentum, which supports asymmetric interlayer interaction in the spin-split bands. Our work suggests that the modification of interlayer interaction is an effective approach in the modeling of the RSS in BiTeI and other layered materials.
