Chemical Synthesis of PEDOT–Au Nanocomposite

Abstract: In this work, gold-incorporated polyethylenedioxythiophene nanocomposite material has been synthesized chemically, employing reverse emulsion polymerization method. Infrared and Raman spectroscopic studies revealed that the polymerization of ethylenedioxythiophene leads to the formation of polymer polyethylenedioxythiophene incorporating gold nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscope studies showed the formation of polymer nanorods of 50–100 nm diameter and the X-ray diffraction analysis clearly indicates th… Show more

“…These absorption bands are similar to the previous report of poly(bis-EDOT) [3,12,17]. The IR spectra of the polymer in 5CB shows no CN stretching derived from 5CB, indicating the polymer film is pure poly(bis-EDOT).…”

“…Vibration modes of the C-S bond can be seen at 977, 834, and 686 cm ¹1 . 10,11 The absorption band at 1514 cm ¹1 is due to stretching mode of C=C in thiophene ring, which is not observed post air oven treatment. The oxidation of C=C bonds is believed to be the reason for significant resistance increase of in-situ PEDOT heated in air, which is consistent with previous hypothesis.…”

“…[9,10] These are in addition to the broad PANI peaks, further confirming the existence of Au nanoparticles in the composite hollow nanospheres. The average particle size of nanoparticles was estimated based on the Scherrer equation (D ¼ Rl/ bcosu max ), [17,18] where D is the average particle size in nm, R is Scherrer constant (0.89), l is the wavelength of the X-rays (0.154056 nm), b is the width of the diffraction peak at half height in radians, applied to the (111) peak, and u is the angle at the maximum peak. The average nanoparticle diameter calculated from the XRD data according to the Scherrer equation is 13 AE 4 nm, which is about twice the size of the value obtained from the TEM images, indicating some non-uniformity of the particle sizes.…”
