The use of expensive metal-dye complexes, the lack of long-term stability due to the use of liquid electrolytes, and the use of rare and expensive Pt as the CE are the major drawbacks preventing the large-scale production of DSSCs. However, recent studies showed alternative materials can be used to enhance the DSSC performance. The unique properties of graphene make it an ideal additive to improve the functions of all three components of DSSCs. Graphene’s high optical transmittance and electron mobility are suitable to improve transparent conducting substrates and nanostructured wide bandgap semiconductor layers of the photoelectrode. Graphene quantum dots have a wide absorption spectrum and thus can be used as photosensitizers. High catalytic activity, high electrical conductivity, high corrosion resistance, and a larger specific surface area make graphene and its composites suitable for making CEs. In addition, graphene has been used to improve composite electrolytes intended for DSSCs.

In addition, the sensor also depicts large selectivity towards NO<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup> and improved practicability in real water sampling.

To solve the problem of improper selection of the noise covariance matrix in the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm, which in turn affects the actual operating effect and range of electric vehicles, this paper proposes the adaptive sine cosine–Levy flight–quantum particle swarm optimization (ASL-QPSO) algorithm to find the optimal noise covariance matrix. Firstly, this paper proposes the variable forgetting factor recursive least square (VFFRLS) algorithm to identify the parameters of the equivalent circuit model of the power lithium-ion batteries. Then, the obtained parameters are transmitted online by the EKF algorithm, based on which the local attraction factor is updated using the ASL-QPSO, which is used to select the appropriate noise covariance matrix. Finally, the optimized noise covariance matrix is obtained and used to achieve the accurate SOC estimation of the power lithium-ion batteries. Experimental results under different operating conditions and temperatures show that the maximum absolute error (MAX), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE) of the algorithm are less than 1.82%, 0.59%, and 0.72%, respectively.
