Conductive polymer poly 3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene-polyvinylbenzenesulfonic acid (PEDOT/PSS) is the polymkeric substance of 3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT) monomer.At present, PEDOT/PSS is one of the most widely used conductive polymers in photoelectric component field.As novel transparent conductive material, the transparent conductive film that PEDOT/PSS makes all has traditional ITO material to be difficult to the advantage be equal in large size making and flexible electronic industrial field.
But the development of the transparent conductive film that conductive polymers PEDOT/PSS makes still is subject to the restriction of organic polymer self-defect, is mainly manifested in:
(1) the PEDOT/PSS electrically conductive ink being printed as membrane process requirement use has certain viscosity, often needs to add thickening material in existing high viscosity inks preparation technology.Due to the interpolation of dielectric thickening material, such that the electroconductibility of the transparent conductive film made by PEDOT/PSS electrically conductive ink declines, mist degree rising etc.;
(2) based on the PEDOT/PSS transparent conductive film of polymkeric substance environment resistant, such as, stability that is water-fast, solvent resistant aspect compares ITO and other type transparency electrode novel material still has deficiency;
(3) in addition, because the PEDOT/PSS dispersion liquid prepared shows strongly-acid, metallic conductivity can be caused to decline because of its corrodibility with during metallic contact, seriously limit it and the metallic conduction such as nano-silver thread, metal grill material mixing uses time compatibility, and the stability of transparency electrode made.
Therefore, in order to make conductive polymers PEDOT/PSS realize large-scale application in transparent conductive film field, still need to overcome the problems referred to above.
