The invention discloses an azobenzene phi-phi stacked graphene photoresponse material and a preparation method thereof. The phoresponse material is produced by stacking azobenzene 5, 9, 14, 18, 23, 27, 32, 36- octabutoxy-2,3-copper naphthalocyanine. The preparation process comprises the following steps that: the well-prepared oxidized graphene solution is sprayed onto tin indium oxide glass to be thermally treated under the temperature of 120 DEG C, and then hydrazine solution with mass fraction of 80 percent is used for reducing the tin indium oxide glass coated with the oxidized graphene; and then the tin indium oxide glass coated with the reduced graphene is soaked in mixed solution of azobenzene and chloroform, which are uniformly dispersed to prepare the photoresponose material. The prepared azobenzene phi-phi stacked graphene photoresponse material has advantages of easiness in controlling optical properties and electric properties, fast photoelectric conversion speed, apparent photoelectric conversion, simple production process and the like.
