Spin coating and inkjet printing of PEDOT:PSS: in-plane conductivity
• As DMSO is increased, the charge transport model evolves from Mott 3d-VRH to
pseudo 1d-VRH. • The hopping length is
reduced by 70% for DMSO from 0% to 3%, and thereafter increased adding DMSO to 5%.
This contrasts with a steady increase of the hopping length for similar spin coated films.

Spin coating and inkjet printing of PEDOT:PSS: transverse conductivity
• 1D-VRH transverse charge transport for inkjet printed PEDOT:PSS compared to the nn-H model for spin coated films.
• These findings justify measurements of the transverse conductivity of inkjet printed PEDOT:PSS films in this study being 600 times higher than that of spin coated films.

Impact and Future developments
• Follow on research on High Energy density/High Power density Supercapacitors funded by (i) EPSRC/MOD and (ii) EC: FP7 project AUTOSUPERCAP
• Findings on electrically conductive MWCNT nanocomposites widely
disseminated within UK > related developments by BAE Systems and Thomas Swan
• We have a current research proposal on specific application of
actuating MWCNT and graphene nanocomposites
• Our publications on the inkjet printing of PEDOT:PSS have been well cited worldwide. We would be most interested in collaborating in further research projects with other academic and industrial partners in this area and also in the area of printing PV cells or other devices (e.g. printing of batteries, supercapacitors, etc).
