Abstract:PEDOT:PSS, an ionic polymer mixture of positively‐charged poly‐3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT+) and negatively‐charged poly‐styrenesulfonate (PSS−), is a water‐processable and environmentally‐benign organic semiconductor and electrochemical transistor, which plays a key role in organic (bio)electronic devices. However, pristine PEDOT:PSS films form 10‐to‐30‐nm granular domains, where conducting‐but‐hydrophobic PEDOT‐rich cores are surrounded by hydrophilic‐but‐insulating PSS‐rich shells. Such morphology mak… Show more
