In this study, graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by the Hummers method. GO/CS/PVA fibers were prepared by an electrospinning method. The structure, morphology and size of the electrospun materials were characterized by X – ray diffraction (XRD) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) was used to confirm the formation of PVA/CS/GO. Raman spectroscopy was used to analyze the characteristic functional groups of carbon materials in GO. GO/CS/PVA nanofibers were successfully synthesized with an average diameter of about 108 nm and the bandgap energy was 3.2 eV. The nanofibers were used as a counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells. With the natural dye extracted from magenta leaves and the counter electrode based on GO/CS/PVA, the solar energy-to-electrical energy conversion efficiency was 0.65%
