The concurrent reduction of the precursors, which includes graphene oxide (GO) to GNS and H 0 2PtCl6 to Pt , was facile and efficient to yield GNS/Pt-NHBs in which face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline Pt-NPs with average diameters of ∼5 nm were robustly attached on the surface of the GNSs. The conversion yield during Pt reduction was fairly high (∼90%) and the Pt content within the NHBs was easily controllable. The resulting stable aqueous colloidal dispersion of GNS/Pt-NHBs was successfully fabricated as thin films without using any binder by the electro-spray method at room temperature, and the fabricated samples were used as counter electrodes (CEs) for dye-sensitized solar cells
