Hierarchically porous polyaniline-reduced graphene oxide hybrids have been developed via oxidative polymerization of aniline by MnO2 on reduced graphene sheets under acidic conditions (named M-PANI@rGO). The formationmechanism of the above hybrids indicates that the MnO2 undergoes oxidative disintegration and results in the porous structure of polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticle formation on the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) surface. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) nitrogen sorption-desorption measurement clearly showed the nanoporous nature of the M-PANI@rGO hybrids. TEM-EDX confirmed the complete removal/degradation of MnO2 during the oxidative polymerization of aniline. Just for comparison, PANI-rGO hybrids have also been prepared via conventional polymerization using (NH4)(2)S2O8 as the oxidant (named C-PANI@rGO). When these different architectural PANI@rGO hybrids were applied as the counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), the short-circuit current density (J(sc)) and power-conversion efficiency (eta) of the DSSCs with C-PANI@rGO hybrids are measured to be 11.64 mA cm(-2) and 5.62%, respectively, while the corresponding values are 12.88mA cm(-2) and 6.15% for the DSSCs with M-PANI@rGO hybrids, which is comparable to 6.73% for the cell with a Pt counter electrode under the same experimental conditions. The hierarchically porous M-PANI@rGO hybrid is thus a promising candidate to replace platinum as a counter electrode for DSSCs.
