Abstract
We have investigated centrifuge effect on the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (denote PEDOT/ PSS) films prepared by a spin-coating coupled with a solvent-treatment, by a dynamic light scattering, a scanning transmission electron microscopic, an atomic force microscopic, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic measurements, in terms of electrical conductivity and optical transmittance. As a result, we have successfully prepared highly conductive (443 S/cm) and transparent (89%) PEDOT/PSS thin films with thickness of 93 nm by the combination of three approaches, i.e., centrifuge, spin-coating and solvent-treatment.
