Problems solved by technology

[0004] The solution of the present invention is aimed at the disadvantages existing in the current technology, and adopts graphene, which is easy to obtain, low in cost, has good electrical conductivity, high flexibility, and good ductility, as the conductive layer to overcome the influence of electrical conductivity by deformation. It is too large and cannot be applied to the flexible field; at the same time, a layer of platinum particles is embedded on the graphene conductive layer of the counter electrode by adsorption, so as to use the photocatalytic activity of graphene and the platinum particles embedded on it to form a composite catalytic layer. On the premise of ensuring the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells, effectively reduce its cost and simplify the production process
