Abstract

Since the late ’80s, a highly stable conductive polymer has been developed, that is poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene), also known as PEDOT. Its increasing conductivity throughout the years combined with its intrinsic stability have aroused great attention both in the academic and industrial fields. The growing importance of PEDOT, can be easily acknowledged through the numerous applications in thermoelectricity, photovoltaics, lighting, sensing, technical coatings, transparent electrodes, bioelectronics, and so forth. Although its high electrical conductivity is strongly established in the literature, the wide range of data shows that disorder, as the limiting factor in charges’ transport, hinders the design…
