The porous polypyrrole (PPPy) was synthesized with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) used as template by simple hydrothermal. The resultant PPPy was employed as counter electrode (CE) in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The 5% Cu(ClO₄)₂ and 2% ZIF-8 ratio in PPPy at 100 °C by simple hydrothermal method demonstrates comparable performance with traditional Pt in DSSC as CE, 8.63% and 9.05% energy conversion efficiency (η), respectively. The electrochemical and photo-electrochemical as well as impedance spectra measurements revealed that ZIF-8 as template by simple hydrothermal method is a effective way for preparing PPPy at 100 °C as CE in DSSC, which may open up an alternative choice for the future industrial application. In DSSC, PPPy at 100 °C is one of the most promising material used for nano-porous thin film when, it serves as CE due to its appropriate low cost, and easy preparation method. The template polymerization of PPPy on zeolytes is interesting method for DSSC and as electro-catalyst, it can be big perspective in polymer membrane fuel cells, Zn air battery, Li ion battery and also useful for hydrogen production from water. So, this article will broaden the application of conductive polymers in DSSCs as well as above described fields.

通过简单的水热法，以咪唑沸石骨架8（ZIF-8）为模板合成了多孔聚吡咯（PPPy）。所得的PPPy用作染料敏化太阳能电池（DSSC）中的对电极（CE）。5％的Cu（CLO ₄）₂和2％的ZIF-8的比例在PPPY在100℃下通过简单的水热法显示了与传统的Pt在DSSC如CE，8.63％和9.05％的能量转换效率（相当的性能η）， 分别。电化学，光电化学及阻抗谱测量表明，以简单的水热法为模板的ZIF-8是在100°C下以DSSC中的CE制备PPPy的有效方法，这可能为将来的工业化提供了替代选择。应用。在DSSC中，100°C时的PPPy是用于纳米多孔薄膜的最有前途的材料之一，由于其合适的低成本和易于制备的方法，它可以用作CE。PPPy在沸石上的模板聚合是DSSC的有趣方法，作为电催化剂，在聚合物膜燃料电池，锌空气电池，锂离子电池中具有广阔的前景，也可用于从水中制氢。因此，本文将拓宽导电聚合物在DSSC以及上述领域中的应用。
