Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT): poly (styrene sulfonic acid) (PSS) is a promising intrinsically conductive polymer. Researchers have been modifying PSS to enhance the conductivity of PEDOT: PSS films, however, the relationship between PSS molecular weight and PEDOT: PSS conductivity remains unclear. Herein, the conductivity mechanism is discussed in detail, and it is observed that, as the molecular weight of PSS increases, the conductivity initially increases but then decreases after reaching a peak. This behavior can be attributed to the different aggregation state structures, the degree of oxidation , and the molecular conformation of PEDOT. Specifically, the optimal PSS molecular weight leads to an increase in PEDOT crystallinity and the appearance of a continuous nanoproto-fiber morphology. Additionally, the highest degree of PEDOT oxidation and the largest molecular weight of PEDOT polymerized after reduction treatment, along with the transition from coiled-coil conformation to linear or swollen coils, synergistically increase the carrier mobility and carrier concentration, resulting in a significant improvement in electrical conductivity . However, further increase in PSS molecular weight leads to decreased crystallinity, reduced continuous crystal domains, lower PEDOT oxidation levels, and molecular weights, preventing the generation of effective charge pathways. The electrical conductivity mechanism reported here provides theoretical models and specific strategies for improving the electrical conductivity of thermoelectric , electromagnetic shielding, and bioelectronic materials.

A new type of device with adjustable reflective capabilities in the mid-IR is elaborated from the combination of Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/Poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), gold-coated non-porous polyimide substrate and gel electrolyte. Prior to device characterization, the influence of polymer thickness and gold substrate types on reflectance modulation of PEDOT-Au films is scrutinized to obtain the film with optimum quality. A combination of SEM images and reflectance curves confirms that adopting thin PEDOT/PSS on the non-porous substrate can achieve large amplitude reflectance regulation. Further, a mechanical perforating method is developed to address the issue that ions cannot transport between the polymer film and the counter electrode when this PEDOT/non-porous film assembled into device. An in-depth study shows that by varying the punching side, porosity and aperture, a device with front holes of porosity 12.77% affords the highest reflectance contrast of 0.566 over the wavelength range of 3-5 μm, meanwhile exhibits effective temperature changes of approximately 16 °C. These results inspire interesting perspectives regarding the fabrication of PEDOT-based devices with controllable IR electroreflective performance.

Firstly, tellurium (Te) nanorods with a high Seebeck coefficient have been integrated into a conducting polymer PEDOT/PSS to form PEDOT/PSS/Te composite films. The Seebeck coefficient of the PEDOT/PSS/Te (90 wt.%) composite films is ~191 μV/K, which is about 13 times greater than that of pristine PEDOT/PSS. Then, H 2 SO 4 treatment has been used to further tune the thermoelectric properties of the composite films by adjusting the doping level and increasing the carrier concentration. After the acid treatment, the electrical conductivity of the composite films has increased from 0.22 to 1613 S/cm due to the removal of insulating PSS and the structural rearrangement of PEDOT. An optimized power factor of 42.1 μW/mK 2 has been obtained at room temperature for a PEDOT/PSS/Te (80 wt.%) sample, which is about ten times larger than that of the untreated PEDOT/PSS/Te composite film.

Hybrid CaCO 3 microparticles coated by sodium poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and aliphatic poly(urethane-amine) (PUA) were developed as thermal-/pH-responsive drug delivery vehicles via LbL self-assembly technique. The DOX release from the CaCO 3 microparticles was higher than 60% within 36 h, whereas the value of PUA/PSS-coated microparticles was only 20%. The results demonstrated that the PUA/PSS multilayer coating could reduce the drug release rate and significantly assuage the initial burst release of DOX. In addition, the drug release of the hybrid microparticles was found to be thermal-/pH-dual responsive. More interestingly, more than 90% of DOX was released in 36 h at pH 2.1 and 55 °C owing to the combined action of the dissolution of the CaCO 3 core and the shrinkage of aliphatic PUA.

Urine analysis is widely used in clinical practice to indicate human heathy status and is important for diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Ammonium ions (NH4+), urea, and creatinine metabolites are main clinical indicators in urine analysis of CKD patients. In this paper, NH4+selective electrodes were prepared using electropolymerized polyaniline-polystyrene sulfonate (PANI: PSS), and urea- and creatinine-sensing electrodes were prepared by modifying urease and creatinine deiminase, respectively. First, PANI: PSS was modified on the surface of an AuNPs-modified screen-printed electrode, as a NH4+-sensitive film. The experimental results showed that the detection range of the NH4+selective electrode was 0.5~40 mM, and the sensitivity reached 192.6 mA M−1cm−2with good selectivity, consistency, and stability. Based on the NH4+-sensitive film, urease and creatinine deaminase were modified by enzyme immobilization technology to achieve urea and creatinine detection, respectively. Finally, we further integrated NH4+, urea, and creatinine electrodes into a paper-based device and tested real human urine samples. In summary, this multi-parameter urine testing device offers the potential for point-of-care testing of urine and benefits the efficient chronic kidney disease management.Keywords:electrochemical biosensor;PANI: PSS;ammonium ion;urea;creatinine;urinalysis

Stainless steel (SS) is highly susceptible to corrosion in acidic environments, which significantly limits its applicability in such conditions. In this paper, a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT-PSS)/waterborne acrylic resin (AR) composite coating was designed and prepared for enhancing the corrosion resistance of 304SS. Corrosion current density (jcorr) of the PEDOT-PSS/AR-coated 304SS at the simulated PEMFCs’ operating temperature (80 °C) is only 0.86 μA·cm−2which achieves the 2025 DOE goal (jcorr< 1 μA·cm−2). The improved corrosion resistance would be attributed to both the anode protection and barrier effect provided by the PEDOT-PSS/AR coating. Moreover, the 304SS coated by the PEDOT-PSS/AR obtains a lower interfacial contact resistance (ICR) of 37.01 mΩ·cm2at 1.4 MPa than that coated by the pure AR coating with the ICR of 167.95 mΩ·cm2. This eco-friendly, conducting, and anti-corrosive PEDOT-PSS/AR coating offers a new insight into high-performance applications for SS.

Wet-spinning technology plays an essential role in the development of wearable electronics. Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) fibers have been widely investigated in this field due to their advantages of being environment-friendly and low-cost. They are mainly wet-spun from a coagulation bath containing ethanol and water with additional metal salts. However, the conductivity of PEDOT: PSS fibers spun by this method is low. Here, we propose a novel coagulation bath made of ionic liquid (IL), ethanol, and water, and the resultant PEDOT: PSS fibers could achieve a conductivity of 118.3 S·cm −1 . Furthermore, the fiber-shaped supercapacitor prepared by such PEDOT: PSS/IL fibers reveals an optimal capacitance retention rate of 97 % even after 10,000 cycles, and the capacitance loss of the supercapacitor is only 7 % at −20 ℃. The sensor derived from the PEDOT: PSS/IL fibers has superb sensing capability, indicating their promising applications for wearable electronics.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a critical contributor to cardiac dysfunction and the development of heart failure, yet effective therapeutic strategies remain limited. Propylene glycol alginate sulfate sodium (PSS) is a marine sulfated polysaccharide drug used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and has shown cardiac function benefits. Here, we designed a pH-responsive PSS-loaded nanoparticle drug delivery system. It was self-assembled by negatively charged PSS with positively charged trimethyl chitosan glycocholic acid (TMC-GA) via electrostatic interaction, and further stabilized the nanoparticles with Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HP55) excipients. The prepared TMC-GA/HP55@PSS nanoparticles were spherical, with a mean particle size of 361.5 ± 1.26 nm, zeta potential of −30.3 ± 0.9 mV, and encapsulation efficiency of 92.52 ± 2.4%. In vitro release study demonstrated the pH-responsive property of TMC-GA/HP55@PSS under intestinal conditions and facilitated nanoparticles absorption in the intestinal epithelium. In vitro experiments confirmed the biocompatibility of PSS and its ability to improve myocardial cell hypertrophy. In vivo, both PSS and its nanoparticles significantly ameliorated pressure overload–induced cardiac hypertrophy in mice, with TMC-GA/HP55@PSS exhibiting better cardioprotective efficacy. This study is the first to integrate pH-responsiveness and bile acid transport-mediated uptake into PSS nanocarrier systems. The findings provide valuable data and enlightenment for designing novel formulations and expanding the clinical applications of PSS.

Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) with near-zero pollution emission, large energy density , and low operating temperature provides a beneficial and sustainable way for alleviating fossil energy crisis and ecological pollution issues. In this work, a systematic protocol was explored for the design of novel electrocatalyst based on PEDOT-PSS coated amino-functionalized SiO 2 microspheres (SiO 2 –NH 2 @PEDOT-PSS) support, and then Pt nano-particles (NPs) were uniformly anchored for the anodic process of DMFCs. Characterization techniques, e.g. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that the dispersity and homogeneity of Pt NPs on the surface of SiO 2 –NH 2 @PEDOT-PSS were markedly improved due to PEDOT-PSS modification, and the distribution of Pt NPs was in a smaller mean-size ~2.8 nm. Subsequently, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study exposed fast electron shift phenomenon from SiO 2 –NH 2 @PEDOT-PSS support to Pt NPs in the catalyst. The various electrochemical tests such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed that the prepared Pt/SiO 2 –NH 2 @PEDOT-PSS catalyst presented higher electrocatalytic efficacy, excellent durability with improved CO-tolerance towards methanol oxidation reaction rather than commercial Pt/C catalyst. These distinctive physical and chemical features of designed catalyst raise the spirit to design an efficient electrocatalyst based on Pt/SiO 2 –NH 2 @PEDOT-PSS in DMFC applications.

In this paper, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)(PDDA)/poly(sodium styrene sulfonate)(PSS) nanomembranes were deposited on the surface of long-period fiber gratings (LPFG) using the electrostatic layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly method, and the effect of NaCl on the modulation of LPFG double peaks by PDDA/PSS nanomembranes was investigated. The principle behind the emergence of double peaks was first explored using coupled mode theory, revealing that changes in the mode effective refractive index(RI) occur as the number of nanomembrane layers increases. The experimental results showed that under the conditions of PDDA with NaCl/PSS without NaCl and PDDA without NaCl/PSS with NaCl, double peaks do not appear in the spectra of LPFG as the number of thin film layers increases. In contrast, highly sensitive double peaks appear in the spectra of LPFG when both PDDA and PSS contain NaCl. Additionally, the range of these double peaks was explored. It was shown that the sensitivity of LPFG to the nanomembrane reached a maximum at 79-81 bilayers, with a sensitivity of 37.8 nm/bilayer, and the appearance of double peaks was consistent with the theoretical simulation. The findings of this study will be applied to the modification of LPFG surface biofunctional membranes and the highly sensitive detection of biochemical substances.

Boron Nitride Aerogels/PEDOT: PSS composite film with good thermoelectric properties were prepared by a simple preparation process. Boron nitride aerogels with a width of less than 1 μm and thickness of approximately 15 nm were prepared by a combination of freeze-drying and high-temperature tubular furnace heating. Then, boron nitride aerogels material was impregnated in a certain amount of 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer polymer: polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) solution by ultrasonic vibration and magnetic stirring to produce a composite film. The output voltage of the flexible Boron Nitride Aerogels/PEDOT: PSS/Au piezoelectric sensor increases with an increase in the bending angle. When the bending angle is greater than 90°, the output voltage reaches 4.03 V. For the sake of broaden the application prospect of nanocomposite films, flexible wearable thermoelectric devices were prepared. Using the human body as a heat source, the output voltage of flexible thin-film thermoelectric devices can reach 233.6 mV. According to the formula calculation, the Seebeck coefficient is 18.54 mV/K and the thermoelectric power factor is 28.86 μW/mK 2 . With improvements in the energy collection capacity of wearable energy devices, we believe that more work will be done in the future to realize the coordinated development of functionality, comfort and health on the basis of improving energy conversion efficiency.

The continuous separation of dilute Cu 2+ from wastewater was performed by using a branched poly(ethylenimine) (BPEI)-functionalized carbon quantum dots (BPEI-CQD)/polypyrrole (PPy)/ polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) membrane in an electrochemically switched ion permselective (ESIP) process. The membrane with a high selectivity for Cu 2+ separation was prepared by pressure filtering BPEI-CQD/PPy/PSS solution through a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane. In this ESIP system, the directional uptake/release of Cu 2+ was realized by modulating the redox state of the membrane coupling with an external electric field. The effects of the operating parameters on the flux of Cu 2+ and membrane permselectivity were investigated. The BPEI-CQD/PPy/PSS composite electrode showed excellent permselectivity for Cu 2+ with a flux of 0.108 mg·cm −2 ·h −1 , a current efficiency of 39.9% and an excellent cycling stability. The Cu 2+ concentration in the solution was reduced from 30 to 0.82 ppm with a removal efficiency of 97.2%. Furthermore, the effects of BPEI-CQD content and the membrane thickness on the separation properties of the membrane from a mixed nitrate solution containing Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ and Cd 2+ were investigated. It is expected to understand the sorption-diffusion mechanism of such a membrane and provide more information on the design of it for a practical metal ion separation process.
