Abstract
A photoelectrode () for use in a photocell () comprises a graphene substrate () functionalized with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) (). A photocell () comprises a photoelectrode (), a counter electrode (), and an electrolyte (). The electrolyte () may be a solid polymer electrolyte. The photocell () may be an electrochemical UV sensor. A method for sensing UV radiation comprises quantifying a power density of UV radiation using an electrochemical UV () sensor comprising CQDs () as a photoactive material. The CQDs () may be nitrogen-doped CQDs.
