Fabrication of Ag Nanopartides/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) Nanocomposite Electrodes by Ink-jet Printing

摘要

The conductive polymer poly (3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is a low band-gap polymer with high charge mobility and good thermal and chemical stability. Nanosized Ag particles have found many potential applications in technical fields because of their reduced sizes, high surface-to-volume ratio, and relatively high chemical stability in air. In this report, 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) was used as the reductant for the first time in the preparation of silver nanoparticles by the reduction of AgNO_3 in water. And Ag/PEDOT nanoparticles composites conducting films deposited by inkjet printing technique on plastic substrates.
