Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201470088-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The crystalline nanostructure of intrinsically conducting polymers is formed via an all‐solution process, leading to a highly conducting state. H₂SO₄ post‐treatment induces a significant structural rearrangement in PEDOT:PSS films, developing crystalline nanofibrils with a stoichiometrically optimal amount of PSS, and this dramatically increases conductivity up to σ_dc ≈ 4380 S cm⁻¹. The highly conductive PEDOT:PSS exhibits potential as a transparent electrode in printable optoelectronic devices, as described by K. Lee, S. H. Lee, and co‐workers on page 2268. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg5503z9wg" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
