The DC conductivity (sigma(DC)) of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) with various organic solvents was measured. The solvents used were dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and H2O (as pristine solvent). Room temperature DC conductivity [sigma(DC)(RT)] of a free standing film of PEDOT/PSS with H2O was measured to be similar to0.8 S/cm. Through a change of solvents used, sigma(DC)(RT) of the samples increases from similar to0.8 to similar to80 S/cm. The temperature dependence of DC conductivity [sigma(DC)(T)] of PEDOT/PSS with H2O followed a quasi one-dimensional variable range hopping model, while that of PEDOT/PSS prepared from DMSO, DMF, and THF followed a power law (sigmaDC proportional to T-beta). From X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments, the doping concentration of the systems with different solvents was approximately the same. We analyzed that the screening effect of the solvent plays an important role for the variation of sigma(DC) of the PEDOT/PSS systems. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
