A mesoporous silica film (MSF) with vertically oriented mesochannels on a conductive substrate serves as a hard‐template for electrodeposition of polyaniline (PANI). The PANI nanostructures thus prepared are orderly confined in silica mesochannels, eventually producing a robust hybrid film. The film displays a good electrocatalytic activity toward oxidation of ascorbic acid, and can be used for potentiometric pH sensing with a Nernstian response.
