Abstract
The controlled electrochemical synthesis of poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as a model conjugated polymer is described here. We show that the morphology of electrochemically synthesized PEDOT can be finely tuned directly in a device, by carefully guiding the nucleation and growth processes as well as electromigration phenomena, resulting in structures with variable electrical properties. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
