Poly (3,4-ethylenedoixythiophene) (PEDOT) was chemically synthesized and doped using FeCl3 and Camphor Sulfonic Acid (CSA). FTIR results confirmed that synthesized polymer was PEDOT and getting doped with FeCl3 and CSA as desired. XRD analysis indicated that crystal structure gets modified after doping and was also used to calculate crystallinity of samples. It increases after doping by FeCl3, whereas it reduces after doping by CSA. Electrical conductivity (σ) measurements were carried out by four probe method. It was found to be 3.41 X 10-3 S/cm for undoped sample and it increases nearly hundred times after doping. Log σ versus 1/T graph was plotted and it showed metallic nature of undoped PEDOT above 308°K and semiconducting nature of both doped samples from room temperature to 383°K. Thermal conductivity measurements were carried out using indigenously designed instrument similar to the Lee’s method. Thermal conductivity of all samples was low but it increases after doping and with increase in temperature.


Key words: Poly (3,4-ethylenedoixythiophene), PEDOT, FT-IR, XRD, U-V visible spectroscopy, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity.
