Improvement of the Optoelectrical Properties of a Transparent Conductive Polymer via a Simple Mechanical Pressure Treatment.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a simple and novel mechanical pressure treatment (MPT) was used to effectively improve the electrical and optical properties of ethylene glycol (EG)-doped PEDOT:PSS (EG-PEDOT:PSS) thin films, one of the most successful organic conductor materials ever which is are widely used in organic electronics because of their admirable film-forming property, high light transmittance, and excellent thermal stability. It is found that the conductivity of the EG-PEDOT:PSS films increased by 32% due to dramatically enhanced carrier mobility because an MPT improves the phase separation between PEDOT and PSS and then yields an interpenetrating conductive network. Meanwhile, the transmittance of the EG-PEDOT:PSS films in the near-infrared band was enhanced, and the surface roughness was reduc
