The invention discloses a preparation method of graphene fibers. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1), a mixture of a graphene oxide solution and a water-soluble reducing agent is added into a tubular reactor, wherein the water-soluble reducing agent is one or more of ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, sodium citrate, HI, HBr, NaHSO3, Na2S, ethylenediamine, p-phenylenediamine and hydroquinone; (2), the tubular reactor in the step (1) is heated, and graphene oxide is reduced and assembled to aqueous graphene gel fibers, and the heating temperature is 60-95 DEG C; and (3), the aqueous graphene gel fibers obtained in the step (2) is dried to obtain the graphene fibers. The preparation method is simple to operate, mild in conditions and low in raw material cost; and the graphene fibers obtained with the preparation method are uniform in structure, excellent in mechanical property and easiness in functionalization.
