“…Unfortunately, the tradeoff of these exceptional properties is processability, with PEDOT being completely insoluble and typically directly oxidatively polymerized onto a current collector. A significant amount of work has been devoted to optimizing these polymerization conditions for tuning the optical, electrochemical, and morphological properties [10–13] . Introduction of solubilizing hydrocarbon or oligoether side chains to yield a processable “soluble PEDOT” has historically resulted in oligomers or polymers with notably different properties (e.g., band gap, onset of oxidation, etc.)…”

Metal‐like Charge Transport in PEDOT(OH) Films by Post‐processing Side Chain Removal from a Soluble Precursor Polymer

et al. 2022

Herein, a route to produce highly electrically conductive doped hydroxymethyl functionalized poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films, termed PEDOT(OH) with metal‐like charge transport properties using a fully solution processable precursor polymer is reported. This is achieved via an ester‐functionalized PEDOT derivative [PEDOT(EHE)] that is soluble in a range of solvents with excellent film‐forming ability. PEDOT(EHE) demonstrates moderate electrical conductivities of 20–60 S cm−1 and hopping‐like (i.e., thermally activated) transport when doped with ferric tosylate (FeTos3). Upon basic hydrolysis of PEDOT(EHE) films, the electrically insulative side chains are cleaved and washed from the polymer film, leaving a densified film of PEDOT(OH). These films, when optimally doped, reach electrical conductivities of ≈1200 S cm−1 and demonstrate metal‐like (i.e., thermally deactivated and band‐like) transport properties and high stability at comparable doping levels.
