Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT or PEDT; IUPAC name poly(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxane-5,7-diyl)) is a conducting polymer based on 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene or EDOT. It was reported in 1991.[1]
Polymer
Advantages of this polymer are optical transparency in its conducting state, high stability and moderate band gap and low redox potential. A large disadvantage is poor solubility, which is partly circumvented in the PEDOT:PSS composite, and the PEDOT-TMA material. Applications of PEDOT include electrochromic displays, antistatics, photovoltaics, electroluminescent displays, printed wiring, and sensors.[2][3]
The polymer is generated by oxidation. This process begins with production of the radical cation of EDOT monomer, [C2H4O2C4H2S]+. This cation attacks a neutral EDOT followed by deprotonation. The idealized conversion using peroxydisulfate is shown
- n C2H4O2C4H2S + n (OSO3)22− → [C2H4O2C4S]n + 2n HOSO3−
For commercial purposes, the polymerization is conducted in the presence of polystyrene sulfonate (PSS).[3] The resulting composites, PEDOT coatings are deposited on a conductive support (platinum, gold, glassy carbon, indium tin oxide, etc.) in organic solvents or in aqueous suspensions.[citation needed]
