The PCE of the photovoltaic cells is primarily related to the architecture of the cells, as well as the electrodes and electrolyte employed. Using zinc oxide (ZnO) coupled with two-dimensional graphene as photoelectrode enables efficient charge transfer and minimizes electron�hole recombination in the DSSCs, resulting in improved performance. This review outlines the feasibility and performance enhancement of ZnO/graphene nanocomposite and its derivatives as photoelectrode for DSSCs. The structural features, optical properties, electron transport, and dye interaction of the ZnO/graphene nanocomposite-based photoelectrode were considered in this review. In addition, the limitations of ZnO/graphene derivatives as photoelectrodes and their solutions were extensively discussed, as well as their prospects. The ZnO/graphene-based photovoltaic cells exhibit an efficiency of up to 11.5% under different dyes and electrolytes. The recent progress achieved with this photoelectrode, which is a viable substitute for titanium dioxide (TiO2), is also thoroughly reviewed. � 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
