A number of solution-processed electronic materials have been developed for application in printed devices, which are normally built by piling up several coated layers one on the top of the other. To achieve low-cost and simple to manufacture printed devices, stable and easy to process layers are mandatory. Here we introduce a mixture of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) with 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as solution-processed material that becomes insoluble in water after film processing. We performed morphological, optical and electrical characterization in the proposed composite and highlight its advantages as a stable transparent electrode in light-emitting diodes as well as in electrochromic devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
