Development of a Paper Actuator with PEDOT:PSS Thin-Films as An Electrode
نویسندگان
چکیده
A paper actuator was fabricated from poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) by a wet process without organic solvents. The paper actuator had a capacitor structure, with a cationic polymer as an insulating layer sandwiched between two PEDOT:PSS films as the electrodes. The thickness of the paper actuator was approximately 36 m. We measured its displacement as a function of applied voltage and frequency; the maximum displacement was 2.2 mm at 1.5 V and 1 Hz.

متن کاملSpray-deposited PEDOT:PSS for inverted organic solar cells
The method of spray depositing PEDOT:PSS allows the fabrication of thin films with controlled thickness on polymer layers. PEDOT:PSS is used in inverted ITO/TiO2/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag solar cells to optimize the work function of the hole collecting electrode. The interlayer is also found to protect the organic layer during metal top deposition and improve the contact between P3HT PCBM and the ...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of Layer by Layer Assembled Single and Dual- Electrochrome Electrochromic Devices
This thesis presents applications of the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique in fabrication of thin films with a primary focus on design and development of electrochromic devices. The optical properties of electrochromic materials change as they alter between redox states. The morphology and properties of LbL-assembled thin films can be modified by varying several processing factors such as...
متن کاملTheoretical analysis of the effect of static charges in silicon-based dielectric thin films on micro- to nanoscale electrostatic actuation
Silicon-based dielectric thin films such as SiO2 and Si3N4 are commonly used as insulation layers in electrostatic microactuators to protect the device from short circuiting if the electrodes are in contact. However, dielectric films can store bulk and/or surface static charges. In this paper, the effect that these static charges have on the force applied by an electrostatic actuator is analyze...
متن کاملEffects of pentacene-doped PEDOT:PSS as a hole-conducting layer on the performance characteristics of polymer photovoltaic cells
We have investigated the effect of pentacene-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:poly(4-styrenesulfonate) [PEDOT:PSS] films as a hole-conducting layer on the performance of polymer photovoltaic cells. By increasing the amount of pentacene and the annealing temperature of pentacene-doped PEDOT:PSS layer, the changes of performance characteristics were evaluated. Pentacene-doped PEDOT:PSS thin ...
