AB  - Graphene (G) and its derivatives, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide 
      (rGO) have enormous potential for energy applications owing to their 2D 
      structure, large specific surface area, high electrical and thermal conductivity, 
      optical transparency, and huge mechanical strength combined with inherent 
      flexibility. The combination of G-based materials with polymers leads to new 
      nanocomposites with enhanced structural and functional properties due to 
      synergistic effects. This review briefly summarizes recent progress in the 
      development of G/polymer nanocomposites for use in polymer solar cells (PSCs). 
      These nanocomposites have been explored as transparent conducting electrodes 
      (TCEs), active layers (ALs) and interfacial layers (IFLs) of PSCs. Photovoltaic 
      parameters, such as the open-circuit voltage (V(oc)), short-circuit current 
      density (J(sc)), fill factor (FF) and power-conversion efficiency (PCE) are 
      compared for different device structures. Finally, future perspectives are 
      discussed.
