Performance Optimization of Nanotubes Prepared by a Template Synthesis Method

Abstract:

PEDOT nanotubes were prepared by a template synthesis method. Based on our template, it was deduced that there are two successive processes in the formation of nanotubes. The first step is soakage of the porous templates by a polymer solution, and the second step is adsorption of free charged cationic groups and doped PEDOT onto the template surface with negative charges. XRD results showed that well orientated PEDOT chain were formed during the synthesis, moreover the arrange conductivity of molecular chains strongly affect the structures of PEDOT nanotubes. The nanotubes were measured to be about 5.5~17.6 S/cm, which is higher than that of nanotube pellet due to the high contact resistance between the adjacent nanotubes.

It is firstly synthesized in 1991 by the Bayer Company in Germany. It possess such as the superexcellent properties of the conduction, the environment adaptability and transparency etc. some advantages .The thin films of PEDOT are easily prepared and is widely used as anti-static packing organic solar cells and electrochemical capacitors.
