Zinc oxide/graphene nanocomposite as efficient photoelectrode in dye-sensitized solar cells: Recent advances and future outlook

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs), also known as Gratzel cells, are a third-generation photovoltaic technology that has garnered extensive interest due to its simplicity of fabrication, economical, and relatively high power conversion efficiency (PCE). The PCE of the photovoltaic cells is primarily...
