Abstract
Embedding nanowires, such as silver nanowires (AgNWs), in a transparent conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to enhance its conductivity is technologically important for improving the performances of devices comprising transparent conductive layers. Addition of nanowires in the highly conducting form of cosolvent (ethylene glycol) or mixed-cosolvent (ethylene glycol and methanol) modified PEDOT:PSS could change the nanowire structure and significantly alter the conductivity. Here, we report a simple method to embed AgNWs in PEDOT:PSS efficiently to improve its conductivity. By incorporating nanowires in the mixed cosolvent matrix prior to addition into PEDOT:PSS, this method preserves the structure of the nanowires while enabling conductivity enhancement. In contrast, the addition of AgNWs into cosolvent-premodified PEDOT:PSS leads to breaking of nanowires and conductivity impediment. The hybrid films with efficiently embedded AgNWs and mixed-cosolvent-modified PEDOT:PSS show a sheet resistance of 104 Ω/□, which is among the lowest ever reported for the as-deposited films, with conductivity enhancement of 33% relative to that of mixed-cosolvent-modified PEDOT:PSS. The resulting ...Continue Reading
