Abstract

Ordered poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was successfully prepared by electrochemical polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene in lyotropic liquid crystal phase formed by chitosan in an acetic acid solution. The structure, performance, and morphology of PEDOT were characterized by infrared absorption spectra, cyclic voltammograms, polarizing optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The ordered pure PEDOT film with good electrochemical behavior exhibited obvious birefringence.
