采用一种新颖的二甲基亚砜(DMSO)蒸汽处理的方法制备高导电性的(聚3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩-聚苯乙烯磺酸盐/聚乙烯醇)(PEDOT:PSS/PVA)有机导电纤维.通过分析蒸汽处理前后纤维在化学结构、形貌、表面化学组分及分子链构象等方面的变化,探究蒸汽处理提高纤维导电性能的机理.结果表明,蒸汽处理引起纤维内部结构重组和分子链构象转变,显著提高了纤维导电性能.蒸汽处理使PEDOT和PSS间发生相分离,部分无定形的PSS链段富集到纤维表面,减少了毗邻的导电PEDOT颗粒间绝缘的PSS层厚度,促使导电PEDOT颗粒之间形成更好的导电网络通路,进而增强纤维导电性能.蒸汽热处理还使PEDOT分子链构象由苯式结构转变为利于载流子传输的醌式结构.随着蒸汽处理的进行,纤维表面变得光滑,表面粗糙度下降;同时,纤维的力学性能有所提升.

基于WOx/PEDOT:PSS复合空穴传输层的高效稳定平面异质结钙钛矿太阳电池

在基于钙钛矿/富勒烯平面异质结的钙钛矿太阳电池中,PEDOT:PSS是最常使用的空穴传输材料. 但PEDOT:PSS呈酸性,会腐蚀金属氧化物透明电极,使器件的电极界面稳定性欠佳. 本文将高功函的氧化钨（WO_x）插入到PEDOT:PSS和FTO之间,形成WO_x/PEDOT:PSS复合空穴传输层,这样既可以避免PEDOT:PSS与FTO直接接触,提高器件的稳定性,又可以进一步降低电极界面的接触势垒,从而提升器件的性能. 作者研究了复合传输层对透光率、钙钛矿形貌、钙钛矿结晶、光伏性能及器件稳定性的影响. 基于WO_x/PEDOT:PSS复合空穴传输层的电池效率可以达到12.96%,比单纯的PEDOT:PSS的电池效率(10.56%)提升了22.7%,同时器件的稳定性也得到大幅改善.     

氧化石墨烯掺杂PEDOT:PSS作为空穴注入层对有机发光二极管发光性能的影响

研究了氧化石墨烯(GO)掺杂聚(3,4-亚乙二氧基噻吩):聚(苯乙烯磺酸) (PEDOT:PSS)作为空穴注入层对有机发光二极管发光性能的影响. 在PEDOT:PSS水溶液中掺入GO, 经过湿法旋涂和退火成膜后, 不仅提高了空穴注入层的空穴注入能力和导电率, 透光率也得到了相应的提高, 从而使得有机发光二极管(OLED)器件的发光性能得到了提升. 通过优化GO掺杂量发现, 当GO掺杂量为0.8%(质量分数)时, 空穴注入层的透光率达到最大值(96.8%), 此时获得的OLED器件性能最佳, 其最大发光亮度和最大发光效率分别达到17939 cd·m^-2和3.74 cd·A^-1. 与PEDOT:PSS 作为空穴注入层的器件相比, 掺杂GO后器件的最大发光亮度和最大发光效率分别提高了46.6%和67.6%.

在p-i-n型的钙钛矿太阳能电池中,聚3, 4-乙烯二氧噻吩：聚苯乙烯磺酸盐(PEDOT:PSS)作为最常用的空穴传输层(HTL)材料之一,由于其存在着吸湿性强以及能级与钙钛矿层不匹配等缺点,限制了它的应用。基于此,本文拟采用将左旋多巴(DOPA)和N, N-二甲基亚砜(DMSO)共同掺杂于PEDOT:PSS作为HTL的简单方法制备高性能p-i-n型钙钛矿太阳能电池。研究结果表明,DOPA和DMSO共掺杂PEDOT:PSS可以有效的调节HTL的能级并提高其导电性,器件的能量转化效率由13.35%显著提高到了17.54%。进一步研究发现,相比于未掺杂或单一掺杂的PEDOT:PSS,在DOPA和DMSO共掺杂的PEDOT:PSS上更有利于生长大尺寸、高结晶度的钙钛矿晶体;同时稳态/瞬态荧光和交流阻抗测试表明器件的内部载流子分离和传输更加有效。     

Conductivity enhancement of PEDOT:PSS film via sulfonic acid modification: application as transparent electrode for ITO-free polymer solar cells

3-Hydroxy-1-propanesulfonic acid(HPSA)was applied as a modification layer on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS)film via spin-coating,resulting in a massive boost of the conductivity of PEDOT:PSS film,and thus the as-formed PEDOT:PSS/HPSA bilayer film was successfully used as a transparent electrode for ITO-free polymer solar cells(PSCs).Under the optimized concentration of HPSA(0.2 mol L~(-1)),the PEDOT:PSS/HPSA bilayer film has a conductivity of 1020 S cm~(-1),which is improved by about 1400 times of the pristine PEDOT:PSS film(0.7 S cm~(-1)).The sheet resistance of the PEDOT:PSS/HPSA bilayer film was 98Ωsq~(-1),and its transparency in the visible range was over 80%.Both parameters are comparable to those of ITO,enabling its suitability as the transparent electrode.According to atomic force microscopy(AFM),UV-Vis and Raman spectroscopic measurements,the conductivity enhancement was resulted from the removal of PSS moiety by methanol solvent and HPSA-induced segregation of insulating PSS chains along with the conformation transition of the conductive PEDOT chains within PEDOT:PSS.Upon applying PEDOT:PSS/HPSA bilayer film as the transparent electrode substituting ITO,the ITO-free polymer solar cells(PSCs)based on poly[N-9″-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4′,7′-di-2-thienyl-2′,1′,3′-benzothiadiazole)]:[6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester(PC_(71)BM)(PCDTBT:PC_(71)BM)active layer exhibited a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 5.52%,which is comparable to that of the traditional ITO-based devices.     

Enhanced electrical properties of PEDOT:PSS via synergistic effect

As a representing conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has been widely employed in organic electronics. However, the electrical conductivity for pristine PEDOT:PSS is only between 0.1 and 0.5 S/cm. In order to enhance the conductivity, the silver nanowires (Ag NWs) were synthesized to dope PEDOT:PSS. It was found the electrical conductivity of PEDOT:PSS was improved to about 200 S/cm with Ag NWs. When double-wall carbon nanotube (DWCNT) was employed together with Ag NWs, the electrical conductivity was further improved to over 2800 S/cm. We proposed the synergistic working model between Ag NWs and CNTs for such enhancement. In this work, UV-vis-NIR spectra and SEM images were also employed to investigate the mechanism of electrical conductivity enhancement.     

Electroless deposition of silver on poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): role of the organic ions used in the course of electrochemical synthesis

The electroless deposition of silver is studied on poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) layers synthesized in the presence of excess of perchlorate ions with and without the addition of two organic dopants: dodecylsulfate (DDS) or polystyrenesulfonate (PSS). Silver deposition is carried out at the expense of oxidation of the pre-reduced PEDOT layers using either Ag⁺ cation or [AgEDTA]^3? complex anion solutions. The amount of deposited silver is monitored by voltammetric stripping. The type of the metal deposit is imaged by SEM. It is found that there are marked differences between the three types of PEDOT with respect to the amount of deposited silver and size distribution of the metallic species. In both silver plating solutions, the largest amount of silver is deposited on PEDOT/DDS, followed by PEDOT/PSS and PEDOT/ClO₄ ^?. These results are discussed in the context of possible structural difference of the three types of PEDOT layers. The comparison between the silver deposits obtained in the two silver plating solutions shows finer dispersion and larger amount of the metallic phase obtained in the presence of the silver complex anions. This solution presents a better opportunity to obtain homogeneous distribution of silver crystalline species on the PEDOT surface.     

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.

Polymer-nanoparticle composites composed of PEDOT:PSS and nanoparticles of Ag synthesised by laser ablation

Laser ablation of a solid target material in a liquid environment provides with an easy, straightforward and environmentally friendly method for nanoparticles synthesis as well as with the unique possibility of directly controlling the type of the nanoparticles surface ligands through the liquid choice. In this paper, laser ablation (10.4 ps, 1064 nm and 50 kHz) of a bulk silver target in deionized water, was carried out for nanoparticles synthesis. The synthesised nanoparticles are either pure Ag or A₂O₃ or a mixture of the two materials. Their size distribution follows log-normal function with a statistical median diameter of ≈5 nm. The nanoparticles colloidal solutions were directly mixed after synthesis, with the polymer solution poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) for the formation of polymer-nanoparticles nanocomposite. The nanoparticles readily form bonds with the sulphur atom of PEDOT which results in their uniform distribution within the polymer matrix as well as in a replacement by the nanoparticles of the PSS⁻ as the counteranions to the PEDOT⁺. These effects result in the reduction of the effective insulation of the polymer blend particles by the insulating PSS and furthermore in the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposite becoming higher (by ∼1.5 times) as compared with that of the pure polymer.     

Water soluble amino grafted silicon nanoparticles and their use in polymer solar cells

Stable aqueous amino-grafted silicon nanoparticles(SiNPs-NH2) were prepared via one-pot solution method. By grafting amino groups on the particle surface, the dispersion of SiNPs in water became very stable and clear aqueous solutions could be obtained. By incorporating SiNPs-NH2 into the hole transport layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/polystyrene sulfonic acid(PEDOT:PSS), the performance of polymer solar cells composed of poly[2-methoxy,5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene](MEH-PPV):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester(PCBM) as active layer can be improved. SiNPs-NH2 are dispersed uniformly in the PEDOT:PSS solution and help form morphologies with small-sized domains in the PEDOT:PSS film. SiNPs-NH2 serve as screens between conducting polymer PEDOT and ionomer PSS to improve the phase separation and charge transport of the hole transport layer. As a result, the sheet resistance of PEDOT:PSS thin films is decreased from(93 ± 5) × 105 to(13 ± 3) × 105 ?/□. The power conversion efficiency(PCE) of polymer solar cells was thus improved by 9.8% for devices fabricated with PEDOT:PSS containing 1 wt% of SiNPs-NH2, compared with the devices fabricated by original PEDOT:PSS.     

Preparation and Characterization of Carbon Nano‐Onion/PEDOT:PSS Composites

Composites of unmodified or oxidized carbon nano‐onions (CNOs/ox‐CNOs) with poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) are prepared with different compositions. By varying the ratio of PEDOT:PSS relative to CNOs, CNO/PEDOT:PSS composites with various PEDOT:PSS loadings are obtained and the corresponding film properties are studied as a function of the polymer. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization is performed for pristine and ox‐CNO samples. The composites are characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry studies. The electrochemical properties of the nanocomposites are determined and compared. Doping the composites with carbon nanostructures significantly increases their mechanical and electrochemical stabilities. A comparison of the results shows that CNOs dispersed in the polymer matrices increase the capacitance of the CNO/PEDOT:PSS and ox‐CNO/PEDOT:PSS composites.     

Understanding droplet bridging in ionic liquid-based Pickering emulsions

Copper nanoparticles are prepared in aqueous solution by reducing copper ions with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyvinylpyrrolydone (PVP) as stabilizers. With only CTAB was used as stabilizer, copper nanoparticles are aggregated and partially oxidized to Cu(2)O. When both PVP and CTAB were used, dispersed copper nanoparticles with 56 nm diameter were obtained. Copper nanoparticles are simply mixed with poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) in aqueous solution to form conducting composite. The effect of copper weight percent and surfactants on the conductivity and stability of the composite has been investigated.     

Improving Efficiency of Organic Photovoltaic Cells Using PEDOT:PSS and MWCNT Nanocomposites as a Hole Conducting Layer

In this study, polymeric nanocomposites of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were spin coated on a pre-patterned ITO glass and used as a hole conducting layer in organic photovoltaic cells. The multi-layered ITO/MWCNT-PEDOT:PSS/CuPc/C60/Al devices were fabricated to investigate the current density-voltage characteristics and power conversion efficiency. The power conversion efficiency obtained from the device with a concentration of 1.0 wt% MWCNT in the PEDOT:PSS layer was increased twice as those adopted from device without MWCNT doping in the PEDOT:PSS layer and current density-voltage characteristics was also improved well with incorporation of MWCNTs.     

Investigation of the doping efficiency of poly(styrene sulfonic acid) in poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonic acid) dispersions by capillary electrophoresis

CE can efficiently separate poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT/PSS) complexes and free PSS in dispersions and can be used to estimate the degree of PSS doping. We investigated the doping efficiency of PSS on PEDOT in dispersions using CE and its effect on the conductivity of the resulting PEDOT/PSS films. Results of this study indicate that dispersions containing 1:2.5–3 EDOT:PSS feed ratio (by weight) exhibiting 72–73% PSS doping generate highly processable and highly conductive films. Conductivity can be optimized by limiting the time of reaction to 12 h. At this point of the reaction, the PEDOT/PSS segments, appearing as broad band in the electropherogram, could still exist in an extended coil conformation favoring charge transport resulting in high conductivity. Above a threshold PEDOT length formed at reaction times longer than 12 h, the PEDOT/PSS complex, appearing as spikes in the electropherogram, most likely have undergone a conformational change to coiled core‐shell structure restricting charge transport resulting in low conductivity. The optimal conductivity (5.2 S/cm) of films from dispersions synthesized for 12 h is significantly higher than those from its commercial equivalent Clevios P and other reported values obtained under similar conditions without the addition of codopants.
