This study aims to explore the optical, structural, and chemical characteristics of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Although GQDs have the potential to enhance photon absorption in DSSCs, direct contact with the dye can lead to...
