The paper presents the results of a study of the effect of alcohol solvents on the surface structure, optical and electrical characteristics of a Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate filmsannealed at a low atmospheric pressure of 10-3millimetersof mercury. It has been found that the modification of the surface of a polymer film with ethyl and isopropyl alcohols leads to a change in the surface morphology, optical and electrical transport properties of the polymer. It is shown that when the Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate film is modified with alcohol solvents, the absorption spectra show a decrease in the absorption of the polystyrene sulfonate aromatic fragment. It is shown that the structural features of the Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate surface morphology affect the electrical transport parameters of films, such as the resistance of the Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate film, the charge carrier transfer resistance at the Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate/electrode interface, the effective extraction rate, and the effective time of flight of charge carriers. The optimal technological parameters for the production of films have been determined, at which the electrical transport properties of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate films annealed at low atmospheric pressure increase
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
