Improving the efficiency of polymer solar cells based on chitosan@PVA@rGO composites via gamma-irradiated treatment of rGO nanoparticles
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) are growing as attractive contenders for renewable energy technologies given their
low cost, adaptability, and environmental sustainability, rendering them valuable in combating climate change.
Interestingly, this work investigates the augmentation of photon absorption and overall efficiency in low-cost,
effective active layers (ALs) via gamma irradiation treatment, thereby raising the number of active absorption
sites. For the first time, novel Chitosan@PVA@rGO (CPG) composite sheets were created as AL materials and
