Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a graphene film for dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrodes. The method comprises the following concrete steps: firstly preparing graphite oxide aqueous solution through a Hummers method, then adding N, N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) serving as dispersing agent into the graphite oxide aqueous solution to obtain stable grapheme oxide dispersion liquid through an ultrasonic stripping method, directly depositing the graphene film on a preheated conducting substrate through a spraying method, and finally reducing the graphene film through a hydrazine steam chemical reduction method and high-temperature calcination technology, so as to obtain the graphene film for counter electrodes. The graphene film prepared through the method not only has higher electrical conductivity and can effectively transmit electron, but also has the characteristics of good uniformity, low cost and high production efficiency, and can preliminarily replace expensive platinum counter electrodes.
