Research progress on a novel conductive polymer–poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)

In this paper the progress in study on a new organic conducting polymer–poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is reviewed. Its ground-state structure, excellent advantages and morphology are presented. Then the modification ways such as its copolymers and composites are introduced in detail. Moreover, the applications of PEDOT are also summarized.
