聚乙撑二氧噻吩阳极降解的研究

研究了聚乙撑二氧噻吩(PEDOT)膜在水溶液中的阳极降解过程. 研究发现PEDOT的阳极过程可以分为p掺杂区[电位范围－0.3～0.5 V (相对于饱和甘汞电极; vs. SCE)]、过渡区[电位范围0.6～1 V (vs. SCE)]、过氧化区[电位范围1.2～1.6 V (vs. SCE)]三个电位区域. 用电化学阻抗谱法、循环伏安法、红外光谱技术、膜电阻测量以及电子自旋共振技术分别研究了PEDOT膜在这三个电位区域的行为. 结果表明: PEDOT膜在这三个电位区域的性质有明显不同. 在p掺杂区PEDOT膜的官能团、共轭结构、导电性均保持, 即在这个电位区发生可逆的掺杂/脱掺杂反应, 膜几乎不降解. 在过渡区和过氧化区, PEDOT膜均发生了降解. 与传统的导电聚合物在高电位的阳极降解的过氧化过程不同, 我们认为膜在较高电位(过渡区)发生一个驰豫过程, 该过程使得膜的官能团改变, 但是膜的共轭结构和导电性均保持; 而在更高的电位区(过氧化区)膜的降解和一般意义的过氧化降解相同, 此时膜的官能团、共轭结构、导电性均发生不可逆的破坏.

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.     

Emulsion synthesis of nanoparticles containing PEDOT using conducting polymeric surfactant: Synergy for colloid stability and intercalation doping

Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is a widely used conductive aqueous dispersion synthesized by using emulsion polymerization method. To further enhance its solution processability and conductivity of PEDOT derivatives, we proposed to replace the nonconductive PSS with conductive poly[2‐(3thienyl)‐ethoxy‐4‐butylsulfonate] (PTEB) as surfactant for the emulsion polymerization of PEDOT. The reaction involved colloid stabilization and doping in one step, and yielded PEDOT:PTEB composite nanoparticles with high electrical conductivity. Contrary to its counterpart containing nonconductive surfactant, PEDOT: PTEB showed increasing film conductivity with increasing PTEB concentration. The result demonstrates the formation of efficient electrical conduction network formed by the fully conductive latex nanoparticles. The addition of PTEB for EDOT polymerization significantly reduced the size of composite particles, formed stable spherical particles, enhanced thermal stability, crystallinity, and conductivity of PEDOT:PTEB composite. Evidence from UV–VIS and FTIR measurement showed that strong molecular interaction between PTEB and PEDOT resulted in the doping of PEDOT chains. X‐ray analysis further demonstrated that PTEB chains were intercalated in the layered crystal structure of PEDOT. The emulsion polymerization of EDOT using conducting surfactant, PTEB demonstrated the synergistic effect of PTEB on colloid stability and intercalation doping of PEDOT during polymerization resulting in significant conductivity improvement of PEDOT composite nanoparticles. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Virus-Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) Biocomposite Films

Virus-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (virus-PEDOT) biocomposite films are prepared by electropolymerizing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) in aqueous electrolytes containing 12 mM LiClO(4) and the bacteriophage M13. The concentration of virus in these solutions, [virus](soln), is varied from 3 to 15 nM. A quartz crystal microbalance is used to directly measure the total mass of the biocomposite film during its electrodeposition. In combination with a measurement of the electrodeposition charge, the mass of the virus incorporated into the film is calculated. These data show that the concentration of the M13 within the electropolymerized film, [virus](film), increases linearly with [virus](soln). The incorporation of virus particles into the PEDOT film from solution is efficient, resulting in a concentration ratio of [virus](film):[virus](soln) ≈ 450. Virus incorporation into the PEDOT causes roughening of the film topography that is observed using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The electrical conductivity of the virus-PEDOT film, measured perpendicular to the plane of the film using conductive tip AFM, decreases linearly with virus loading, from 270 μS/cm for pure PEDOT films to 50 μS/cm for films containing 100 μM virus. The presence on the virus surface of displayed affinity peptides did not significantly influence the efficiency of incorporation into virus-PEDOT biocomposite films.

Electrochemical Polymerization of 3,4‐Ethylenedioxythiophene from Aqueous Solution Containing Hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin and the Electrocatalytic Behavior of Modified Electrode Towards Oxidation of Sulfur Oxoanions and Nitrite

Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film was prepared on glassy carbon electrode from 0.1 M LiClO₄ aqueous solution containing 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomer and hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HP‐β‐CD), by multiple scan cyclic voltammetry. The effect of oxidation potentials on electropolymerization of EDOT was examined by chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetric techniques. The results of potentiostatic experiments show that optimum potential range to obtain compact stable film was 0.9 to 1.05 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). At higher positive potential, i.e. above 1.05 V, polymer growth was hindered by passivation effect. The PEDOT film exhibited a strong absorption at 550 nm in the UV‐vis region and also a multicolor electrochromism in different buffer solutions (sky blue‐purple red). Cyclic voltammetric features of PEDOT‐coated electrode in pure supporting electrolyte suggested that charge transfer of the film resembles that of surface‐confined redox species. Finally, the electrocatalytic behavior of PEDOT‐modified electrode was tested towards oxidation of sulfur oxoanions and nitrite using cyclic voltammetry.     

Synthesis of highly conductive EDOT copolymer films via oxidative chemical in situ polymerization

Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)s (PEDOT) represent a class of conjugated polymers that can be potentially used as an electrode material for flexible organic electronics due to their superior conductivity and transparency. In this study, we demonstrate that the conductivity of a PEDOT containing copolymer film can be further enhanced by the oxidative chemical in situ copolymerization of a liquid film spun coated from monomer mixture (3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and 3‐thienyl ethoxybutanesulfonate (TEBS)), oxidant (iron(III) p‐toluenesulfonate (Fe(OTs)₃)), weak base (imidazole), and solvent (methanol). We investigated that the effect of the processing parameters such as the molar ratios TEBS/EDOT, IM/EDOT, and Fe(OTs)₃/EDOT on the surface morphology, optical property, and the conductivity of the resulting copolymer films. These parameters have been optimized to achieve conductivities for the copolymer films as high as 170 S/cm compared with a conductivity of 30 S/cm for the pure PEDOT film synthesized using the same fabrication method. This conductivity enhancement for the copolymer films was found to be resulted from the fact that the addition of TEBS monomer reduces the copolymerization rate, leading to the formation of much more uniform film surface without defects and copolymers of higher molecular weight which increase the conductivity of the resulting copolymer film. The composition of two monomers in the copolymer film is not related to the variation of conductivity. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 1662–1673, 2008     

The influence of polyacid nature on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) electrosynthesis and its spectroelectrochemical properties

The present study is aimed to elucidate main structural features of polymeric sulfonic acids (the rigidity of main chain, the distance between sulfonic groups on the chain, the hydrophobicity of main chain or side fragments) on the course of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) electropolymerization and electronic and chemical structure of the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films obtained. The films were prepared by electrochemical polymerization in cyclic voltammetry, potentiostatic, and galvanostatic regimes in aqueous solutions of different polyacids in the absence of supporting electrolyte. The effect of the chemical structure of polyacid on the course and rate of PEDOT synthesis was traced by electrochemical and in situ UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. It was shown that the highest rate of EDOT electropolymerization is achieved in the presence of flexible-chain polyacid having hydrophobic fragments (groups) in its structure, followed by hydrophobic rigid-chain polyacids. The lowest rate was observed in the presence of hydrophilic flexible-chain polyacid. The electronic and chemical structure of the PEDOT films obtained was studied by in situ UV-Vis-NIR and Raman spectroelectrochemistry. The films prepared in the presence of rigid-chain polyacids at high anodic potentials demonstrate decreased content of bipolaronic fragments in their structure, while PEDOT complexes with flexible-chain polyacids are very much like conventional polymer prepared in non-aqueous medium. The results are discussed in terms of conformational state (ability to form coils and thus concentrate the monomer) of different polyacids in aqueous solution and hydrophobic interactions between the polyacids and EDOT.     

Electrochemical polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene in aqueous solution containing N-dodecyl-β-d-maltoside

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films were synthesized electrochemically by direct anodic oxidation of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) at relatively low monomer concentration (0.005-0.01 mol L⁻¹) in aqueous solution containing green nonionic sugar-based surfactant N-dodecyl-β-d-maltoside (DM), which has good biocompatibility and biodegradability. The moderate interaction between DM through the hydroxy groups and EDOT monomer led to the decrease of monomer oxidation onset. Different surfactants, such as anionic sodium dodecylbenzenesulfate (SDBS), nonionic triton X-100 (TX100), were also tested for comparison. As-formed PEDOT films were characterized electrochemically and spectroscopically using FTIR and UV-visible techniques. PEDOT nano-materials with good thermal stability and conductivity of 26.2 S cm⁻¹ can be synthesized in water-DM micellar solution, which can be proved by the results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). PEDOT prepared from water-DM media with good biocompatibility can be a good candidate for application in biosensors.
