The electrical conductivity of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films with four silts that have various cations but the same bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (TFSI) anion was studied. We found that doping salts of small-sized cations led to better conductivity because of the improved crystalline order and p-doped level of PEDOT, as revealed by the grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) and UV-vis spectrum. This phenomenon can be rationalized with the fact that small-sized cations with stronger Coulombic interactions can lead to high doping and rearrangement of PEDOT:PSS. These findings will help to develop recipes based on the PEDOT:PSS/salt composite toward the applications for printed flexible electronics.
