	Abstract = {Platinum-free counter electrodes are crucial for developing cost effective solar energy harvesting technology. We describe here the fabrication of efficient platinum free FTO counter electrodes for dye sensitized solar cells based on pristine polyaniline, polyaniline doped with sulfuric acid, ammonuim lauryl sulfate, as well as binary doped with sulfuric acid and ammonium lauryl sulphate. The characteristics of these counter electrodes were analyzed using cyclic voltammetry, photocurrent density--voltage and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. At optimized fabrication conditions, the counter electrode shows significantly high photoelectric conversion efficiency of 4.54% compared to 4.03% for reference platinum counter electrode. Charge transfer resistance at the interface between electrolyte and counter-electrode is also decreased for the optimized polyaniline based counter electrode. Furthermore, the device presented characteristics of multiple start/stop ability and fast activity. The simple preparation procedure, low cost and improved photoelectric properties permit fabricated counter electrode to be a reliable alternative for dye sensitized solar cells.},
