Graphical Abstract

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

PEDOT formulations in acetonitrile have been synthesised using a phase transfer reaction involving two steps; being a polymerization in water and then a subsequent coagulation of the corresponding PEDOT by anion exchange. The strategy followed is to synthesise organic formulations using a less acidic stabilizer and fine-tuned hydrophobic properties which are suitable for using in OLEDs as a HTL (hole transport layer), leading to an interesting starting point for OLED applications.
