摘要
This paper reports the modification of electrical and optical properties of graphene film by spin coating polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution onto the graphene oxide film followed by thermal reduction process. The PEG solution was deposited onto the graphene oxide film at different spin coating speeds (1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000 rpm). The introduction of PEG at appropriate spin coating speed results in lower sheet resistance and optical transmittance, probably due to better alignment and stacking of the graphene sheets. It is interesting to find that the dye sensitized solar cell with PEG-modified graphene film as counter electrode showed 4 times increase in power conversion efficiency as compared to that with unmodified graphene film.
