A Combined XRD, Solvatochromic, and Cyclic Voltammetric Study of Poly (3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene) Doped with Sulfonated Polyarylethersulfones: Towards New Conducting Polymers

Abstract: Despite the poor solubility in organic solvents, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is one of the most successful conducting polymers. To improve PEDOT conductivity, the dopants commonly used are molecules/polymers carrying sulfonic functionalities. In addition to these species, sulfonated polyarylethersulfone (SPAES), obtained via homogeneous synthesis with different degrees of sulfonation (DS), can be used thanks to both the tight control over the DS and the charge separation present in SPAES structur… Show more

“…PEDOT solutions doped with SPAES_0.75 (PEDOT:SPAES_0.75) and SPAES_2.4 (PEDOT:SPAES_2.4) were obtained by high concentration solvent-based emulsion polymerization of EDOT in the presence of SPAES (1% w / w with respect to EDOT) as doping agent, ferric sulphate as radical initiator and by varying the reaction solvent, i.e., DMF, DMAc, DMSO, and NMP. Here, all PEDOT:SPAES polymer solutions have excellent miscibility in each reaction solvent and appear brown in the case of DMF, orange for DMAc, green with DMSO, and purple in NMP ( Figure 4 ), according to SPAES solvatochromic behavior [ 35 ]. On the other hand, in agreement with Sabatini et al [ 34 , 35 ], undoped PEDOT is not soluble in the selected solvents and therefore it cannot be used as reference during the discussion of the data obtained.…”

“…SPAES_0.75 and SPAES_2.4 were used as PEDOT doping agents. The reaction between PEDOT and SPAES was performed varying the reaction solvent, i.e., DMF, DMAc, DMSO, or NMP, according to our previous works [ 31 , 35 ]. In brief, a 50 cm 3 glass test tube equipped with magnetic stirring was loaded with EDOT (2.50 g), Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ·xH 2 O (5 g) as radical initiator, SPAES (0.025 g) at 1% w / w with respect to EDOT monomer and the reaction solvent (3 cm 3 ).…”

“…Solvatochromism is the property of a chemical substance to change color with the change of solvent polarity. The solvatochromic shift of a chromophore reflects a strong relation between solvent polarity with the absorption and emission spectra [25,26]. The solutions of PANI in different solvents are shown in Figure 2.…”

“…Conducting polymer based sensors offer attractive advantages. They are effective at room temperature, diverse in structure and easy to fabricate [16,17,18]. The conducting polymer polyaniline (PANI) has exceptional properties, including stable mechanisms of electrical conduction, reversible and simple doping–dedoping ability, easy synthesis, high environmental stability and low cost.…”
