Study on Conductivity Properties of PEDOT Prepared through a Modified LB Film Method

Adopting LB film method, an arachidic acid (AA)/PEDOT multilayer LB film was chosen, and polymerized EDOT monomers in hydrophilic group of LB to prepare arachidic acid (AA)/PEDOT multilayer LB film. UV‐Vis, FT‐IR and XPS analyses implied that EDOT was effectively polymerized in film, and thus PEDOT conducting polymer was produced. Analyses of XRR and SIMS indicated that film had a well‐arranged lamella structure, and further research showed that polymerization of EDOT in AA film destroyed the orderliness of the original LB film. This phenomenon could be related to the destructive effect of polymerization on layered structure. We used four‐point probe and semiconductor instrument to study the conductivity property of the film, and observed that the conductivity of AA/PEDOT film had sudden changes with the processing time of changes in effective conduction network. That was caused by "permeability" in conducting channel of multilayer film. The test results also indicated that the conductivity of AA/PEDOT film was obviously better than that of spin‐coating PEDOT/PSS film or that of ODA‐SA/PEDOT‐PSS film, which was due to the higher π structure of PEDOT structure and ordered film structure.     

修饰Langmuir-Blodget膜法制备聚(3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩)薄膜结构和导电性能的研究

采用修饰Langmuir-Blodget(LB)膜法以二十烷酸(AA)LB膜为模板,通过3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩(EDOT)单体在LB膜亲水基团间聚合,制备了二十烷酸/聚(3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩)(AA/PEDOT)复合LB膜.UV-Vis、FTIR和XPS分析表明EDOT在多层膜中有效聚合,生成了PEDOT导电聚合物;X射线衍射(XRD)和二次离子质谱(SIMS)分析表明薄膜具有较好的层状有序结构,进一步研究发现EDOT在AA多层膜中的聚合破坏了原有LB膜的有序性,这可能与聚合过程对层状结构产生的破坏作用有关;采用四探针仪及半导体测试仪研究了薄膜导电性能,发现AA/PEDOT多层膜的电导率随处理时间的变化产生突变,这与多层膜中导电通道的"逾渗"有关,在有效导电网络连通后电导率发生了突变.测试结果还表明AA层和PEDOT层之间具有较为明显的界面,PEDOT显示出较好的定域性,薄膜具有很好的层状有序结构.

AA/PEDOT复合LB膜对30 μL/L HCl气体的响应时间约为20 s, 远快于普通PEDOT旋涂膜(约为80 s), 同时在膜压达到45 mN/m时, AA/PEDOT膜的敏感性能反而下降. 敏感机理解释为电子在PEDOT共轭系统和氧化性气体间的转移.

采用修饰多层LB膜的方法制备了导电聚合物聚-3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩/二十烷酸(PEDOT:AA)复合层状有序膜, 构筑了一种导电聚合物镶嵌的多层有序膜结构. 将这种导电聚合物有序薄膜沉积于ITO电极表面, 将其作为有机电致发光二极管(OLED)的空穴注入层, 并研究了ITO/(PEDOT:AA)/MEH-PPV/Al器件的性能. 研究结果表明, 与采用聚3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩/聚苯乙烯磺酸(PEDOT:PSS)自组装膜和旋涂膜作为空穴注入层的ITO/(PEDOT:PSS)/MEH-PPV/Al器件相比, 器件的发光效率增加, 起亮电压降低. 我们认为这是由于PEDOT:AA薄膜提供了一种有序层状结构后, 减小了ITO与MEH-PPV间的接触势垒, 改善了空穴载流子注入效率. 进一步的研究表明, 由于PEDOT:AA多层膜间靠较弱的亲水、疏水作用结合, 这种导电多层有序膜的热稳定性与普通LB膜相似, 在较高温度下发生从层状有序态到无序态的变化, 这是导致OLED器件性能发生劣化的主要原因.

Polymer-surfactant layered heterostructures by electropolymerization of phenosafranine in Langmuir-Blodgett films

Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of the water-soluble dye phenosafranine (PS) have been prepared by its adsorption from aqueous dye solution to an arachidic acid (AA) monolayer at the air-water interface. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of the LB films revealed the effect of change in pH of deposition on the degree of complexation of AA with the PS dye. Well-defined circular islands and holes were observed which disappeared with the increase in pH. Polarized absorption studies indicated that the dye molecules are oriented uniaxially with their long axis titled at a constant angle to the surface normal of the LB film. Within the restricted geometry of the LB film, the PS dye was electropolymerized to form a two-dimensional film of poly(phenosafranine) sandwiched between arachidic acid layers. The film was characterized by IR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and AFM. X-ray diffraction studies reveal the presence of a layer structure in the AA-PS LB film before and after polymerization. The polymer film showed highly anisotropic electrical conductivity of ca. 10 orders of magnitude. This indicates the formation of two-dimensional polyPS layers between arachidic acid layers resulting in a layered heterostructure film having alternate conducting and insulating regions. Also, the conductivity of the polyPS prepared from LB film was found to be approximately 2.5 times higher than the conductivity of polyPS prepared by solution polymerization method.

Simultaneous determination of dopamine and ascorbic acid on poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) modified glassy carbon electrode

Detection of dopamine (DA) in the presence of excess of ascorbic acid (AA) has been demonstrated using a conducting polymer matrix, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film in neutral buffer (PBS 7.4) solution. The PEDOT film was deposited on a glassy carbon electrode by electropolymerization of EDOT from acetonitrile solution. Atomic force microscopy studies revealed that the electrodeposited film was found to be approximately 100 nm thick with a roughness factor of 2.6 nm. Voltammetric studies have shown catalytic oxidation of DA and AA on PEDOT modified electrode and can afford a peak potential separation of ∼0.2 V. It is speculated that the cationic PEDOT film interacts with the negatively charged ascorbate anion through favorable electrostatic interaction, which results in pre-concentration at a less anodic value. The positively charged DA tends to interact with the hydrophobic regions of PEDOT film through hydrophobic–hydrophobic interaction thus resulting in favorable adsorption on the polymer matrix. Further enhancement in sensitivity to micro molar level oxidation current for DA/AA oxidation was achieved by square wave voltammetry (SWV) which can detect DA at its low concentration of 1 μM in the presence of 1000 times higher concentration of AA (1 mM). Thus the PEDOT modified electrode exhibited a stable and sensitive response to DA in the presence of AA interference.

Dicyanopyrazine-linked porphyrin Langmuir-Blodgett films

We investigated the influence of arachidic acid/cadmium dication (AA/Cd(2+)) as a transfer promoter for the deposition of dicyanopyrazine-linked porphyrin (2-DCPP) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films on both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substrates. In the case of LB deposition on a hydrophilic substrate, the presence of AA/Cd(2+) does not improve 2-DCPP LB deposition. The poor transfer in the case of the hydrophilic surface is believed to be due to 2-DCPP not wetting the surface during the down-stroke deposition, and this is not improved by the transfer agent. However, on a hydrophobic substrate, deposition of 2-DCPP is significantly improved by the presence of AA/Cd(2+). Comparison of the UV-visible spectrum of a 2-DCPP LB film with that of 2-DCCP dissolved in chloroform reveals that the Soret and Q bands for the 2-DCPP LB film are broadened and red-shifted due to aggregation of porphyrin rings in the LB film. UV-visible spectral changes and ellipsometry as a function of the number of deposition layers suggest continuous transfer of 2-DCPP/AA onto the hydrophobic substrate and reproducibility in the deposition process. The Soret and Q bands of the 2-DCPP LB film upon acid vapor exposure have also been investigated, and these measurements may have chemical sensor applications.     

Surface roughness in Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films studied by AFM and X-ray diffraction

Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films consisting of up to 100 layers of cadmium-substituted arachidic acid on silicon wafers have been studied. The samples were deposited from a water subphase containing Cd²⁺ ions by using an alternate-layer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough under computer control. Long-range orientational order was observed by atomic force microscopy on the surface of films with a small number of layers. X-ray reflectivity curves showed regularly spaced Bragg peaks arising from multilayer structure. The periodicity of the LB film is in agreement with twice the estimated molecular length, which confirms that the multilayer structure has a bilayer (Y) configuration. We demonstrate that the growth process of the LB films must have been stochastic. Our results are in good agreement with the Eden model of growth.     

Biomimetic synthesis of the arachidic acid/Ag<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Cd<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis></Subscript>S nanocomposite films

Ag _x Cd _y S nanoparticles were obtained in arachidic acid (AA) monolayer containing Ag⁺ and Cd²⁺ under H₂S flow. The AA/Ag _x Cd _y S monolayers were deposited onto solid substrate to prepare LB films. The UV-vis spectrum showed that the LB film exhibited notable quantum-size effect. The small-angle X-ray diffraction revealed periodic structure of the LB films. The molar ratio of Ag to Cd in AA/Ag _x Cd _y S film was ca. 1 : 5 as measured by the XPS. TEM and FTIR spectroscopy showed that the head-groups of arachidic acid molecules controlled formation of Ag _x Cd _y S nanoparticles in the monolayer.

Deposition and characterization of Langmuir‐Blodgett films of cadmium arachidate/SWCNTs composites

The incorporation of single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in cadmium arachidate film by means of the Langmuir‐Blodgett (LB) technique was investigated as a function of arachidic acid/SWCNT mass ratio at the air/water interface and in Langmuir‐Blodgett films. The behaviour at the air/water interface shows that SWCNTs act as an independent phase with respect to the cadmium arachidate. Deposition conditions are optimized when the weight ratio between the arachidic acid (AA) and SWCNTs is in the range 0.018:1 to 1:1. The general order of the LB multilayered structure was destroyed by the progressive density increase in SWCNT quantity as evidenced by X‐ray reflectivity (XRR) analysis. Scanning electron microscopy images indicated that when a multilayered structure was formed its layers consisted of SWCNT bundles stacked one over the other.

Study of assembly of arachidic acid/LDHs hybrid films containing photoactive dyes

Hybrid monolayers formed with an floating arachidic acid (AA) anions monolayer binding with a densely packed layered double hydroxides (LDHs) monolayer at an air/LDHs suspension interface has been studied by pi-A isotherms and TEM images. An ordered multilayer film of AA/LDHs has been fabricated by Langmuir-Blodgett technique on various substrates. The photoactive dyes (methyl orange, MO, and Congo red, CR) can be incorporated into the galleries of LDHs in the AA/LDHs hybrid LB film by an ion intercalation method. The results of FTIR and UV-vis absorption spectra can approve the formation of AA/LDHs/dyes composite films. In addition, UV-vis absorption spectra and LAXRD analyses also provide evidence for the good vertical uniformity and stable layered periodic structure of AA/LDHs/dyes films. More interestingly, it was found that the dye molecules intercalated can be induced by a positively charged LDHs sheet to align in a special orientation and form different aggregates: MO molecules form sandwich H-type aggregates, while CR molecules form head-to-tail J-type aggregates. On the basis of these data, a possible model of the AA/LDHs/dyes composite films was proposed. Also, the dye molecules incorporated into AA/LDHs films exhibit excellent configuration stability under the irradiation of UV light because the LDHs matrix offers a more rigid and constrained environment for them.     

Infrared studies of pyroelectric Langmuir–Blodgett films of arachidic acid and 1,2-bis(dodecyloxy)-4,5-diaminobenzene

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), p-polarized grazing angle (GAIR) and Horizontal Attenuated Total Reflectance (HATR) spectra have been recorded of arachidic acid (AA)/1,2-bis(dodecyloxy)-4,5-diaminobenzene (DADB) Y-type alternate LB films deposited on an aluminium plate with 31 layers. It is well known that the frequencies of CH₂ stretching bands of a hydrocarbon chain are sensitive to the conformational ordering of the chain. Changes in frequency and intensity can be used to characterize film ordering and preferential molecular packing. The observed peak frequencies and intensities of these bands indicate that the alkyl chains are present in a mostly trans conformation and tilted from the normal direction with respect to the substrate in LB films. The FTIR–GAIR and HATR spectra of 31 layers alternate film show significant changes in the region 1700–1400 cm⁻¹ due to the partial proton transfer between acid and amine head groups. According to the HATR spectrum, the peak at 1731 cm⁻¹ is observed due to a proportion of the carboxylic acid groups forming sideways dimers indicating that if the carboxylic acid groups form sideways dimers, they are less likely to undergo proton transfer with the amino groups.

Preparation of Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) in a Chiral Nematic Liquid‐Crystal Field

Summary: The 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomer in a chiral nematic liquid‐crystal electrolyte was polymerized by application of a voltage to yield a thin film. Circular dichroism measurements indicated a Cotton effect for the film. Optical texture suggests that the polymer shows a finger‐print texture and a spiral texture similar to that of the chiral nematic phase. This simple method provides a new technique for preparing chiral conducting films in a thermotropic chiral liquid‐crystal field.
