The invention relates to a photovoltaic
cell based on a
graphene PN junction and a preparation method thereof. The photovoltaic
cell is formed by a PN junction and a counter
electrode, wherein the PN junction comprise a base, a transparent conductive thin film, a P type
graphene thin film and a N type
graphene thin film. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: cleaning the base and the transparent conductive thin film, and blow-
drying the base and the transparent conductive thin film by using N2 for standby application; respectively preparing
boron doped graphene and
nitrogen-
doped graphene; respectively dissolving the two prepared graphene in
sodium cholate
hydrate to prepare a graphene solution; carrying out suction filtering on a
nitrogen-
doped graphene solution by using a mixed
cellulose filter membrane, dropping deionized water, slowly dropwise adding a
boron doped graphene solution on the surface of a
nitrogen-doped graphene thin film for suction filtering and film formation, inversely arranging the obtained thin film on the surface of the spare base, compacting, distilling by adopting
acetone, and soaking and cleaning by sequentially using
acetone and methyl
alcohol under a
room temperature condition; and covering the counter
electrode on the surface of the counter
electrode and pressing to form the graphene PN junction photovoltaic
cell. The method is simple in the preparing and assembling process, is low in cost, is suitable for large-scale application and promotes the application of the graphene in terms of the
solar battery.
