Today I want to share an article with you. The article is 《Aqueous-processable conducting polymer/ionic liquid solutions for highly conductive organic conductors》,you can find this article in 《Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals》. The following contents are mentioned:
Herein, we study how the introduction of secondary dopants, ionic liquids (ILs) into an aqueous-processable conducting polymer (CP), pe:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate)] affects the PEDOT:PSS dispersion states in the solution, based on dynamic light-scattering anal. We also investigate the elec. characteristics of PEDOT:PSS/IL films that are processed from the composite blends with varied IL concentration As a result, we found that the addition of ILs causes growths of PEDOT:PSS dispersions, and there is a relationship between IL-induced dispersion growths and elec. conductivity enhancement. This work could provide a basis for achieving outstanding elec. performance from aqueous-processable CPs.1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (cas: 65039-09-0) were involved in the experimental procedure.
1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride(cas: 65039-09-0) is an imidazolium chloride ionic liquid that can be used as:a solvent as well as catalyst for the depolymerization of oak wood lignin; a solvent in the hydrolysis of hemicellulose (xylan) to xylose using Brønsted acid catalysts.Product Details of 65039-09-0
