S&M1761 Research Paper of Special Issue https://doi.org/10.18494/SAM.2019.2116 Published: January 30, 2019 Improving the Quality and Electrical Properties of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):Poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) Film by Heating and Stirring the Solution [PDF] Juin J. Liou, Po-Hsun Hsu, Wen-Ray Chen, Dei-Wei Chou, Kuan-Wei Lee, Na-Fu Wang, Shih-Wei Feng, and Chien-Jung Huang (Received August 23, 2018; Accepted November 26, 2018) Keywords: PEDOT:PSS, heating and stirring, film hardness, closer structure
The improvement of the quality and electrical properties of a film will contribute to the stability and performance of an electronic product during component manufacturing. However, the pristine solution concentration ratio of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to water is in the range of only 1.0–1.3 wt%. Therefore, the pristine conductivity of PEDOT:PSS is poor because the conductive PEDOT is dispersed in excess water, resulting in the limitation of carrier transmission. In this study, a simple method of removing excess water in PEDOT:PSS solution by heating and stirring is proposed. The heating and stirring of the PEDOT:PSS solution can not only change the structure but also increase the conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS film. It is an effective method of improving the quality and electrical properties of the film simultaneously. Moreover, the fabrication process for the PEDOT:PSS film in this study is different from that of the commonly used multilayer film. A single film of high quality can be obtained in a short process time by heating and stirring. A high-quality single film is better than a multilayer film.
