High efficiency perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) using PEDOT:PSS/MoO-ammonia composite hole transport layers (HTLs) with different MoO-ammonia ratios were prepared and characterized. For PeLEDs with one-step spin-coated CHNHPbBr emitter, an optimal MoO-ammonia volume ratio (0.02) in PEDOT:PSS/MoO-ammonia composite HTL presented a maximum luminance of 1082 cd/m and maximum current efficiency of 0.7 cd/A, which are 82% and 94% higher than those of the control device using pure PEDOT:PSS HTL respectively. It can be explained by that the optimized amount of MoO-ammonia in the composite HTLs cannot only facilitate hole injection into CHNHPbBr through reducing the contact barrier, but also suppress the exciton quenching at the HTL/CHNHPbBr interface. Three-step spin coating method was further used to obtain uniform and dense CHNHPbBr films, which lead to a maximum luminance of 5044 cd/m and maximum current efficiency of 3.12 cd/A, showing enhancement of 750% and 767% compared with the control device respectively. The significantly improved efficiency of PeLEDs using three-step spin-coated CHNHPbBr film and an optimum PEDOT:PSS/MoO-ammonia composite HTL can be explained by the enhanced carrier recombination through better hole injection and film morphology optimization, as well as the reduced exciton quenching at HTL/CHNHPbBr interface. These results present a promising strategy for the device engineering of high efficiency PeLEDs.

Aflatoxin B (AF-B) are toxins secreted by secondary metabolites of molds that have adverse effects on humans and animals resulting in huge economic losses. Here we report on field useable, cost effective and direct electrochemical sensor based on conducting polymer composite electrode, Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulphonic acid (PEDOT-PSS) for label-free detection of AF-B. Structural and morphological characterization of composite electrodes were carried out using XRD and SEM.

Fast and precise analysis techniques using small sample volumes are required for next-generation clinical monitoring at the patient's bedside, so as to provide the clinician with relevant chemical data in real-time. The integration of an electrochemical sensor into a microfluidic chip allows for the achievement of real-time chemical monitoring due to the low consumption of analytes, short analysis time, low cost, and compact size. In this work, dopamine, used as a model, is an important neurotransmitter responsible for controlling various vital life functions.

Electrically conductive composite nanofibers were fabricated using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) via the electrospinning technique. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was used to assist the electrospinning process, and poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether was used to induce chemical cross-linking, enabling stability of the formed fibrous mats in water. The experimental parameters regarding the electrospinning polymer dispersion and electrospinning process were carefully studied to achieve a reproducible method to obtain bead-free nanofibrous mats with high stability after water contact, with an electrical conductivity of 13 ± 5 S m, thus making them suitable for bioelectrochemical applications.

The trilayer composite was fabricated by combining functional layers of fumed SiO, thiol-ene, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS). Optical, scratch-healing, non-wetting, and electrical stability was investigated at different instances of time after thermal and solar irradiance treatment. The trilayer composite was found to be optically stable and highly transparent for visible light after thermal and irradiance treatment for 25 h.

The need for improving the energy harvesting from Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) has boosted the design of new materials in order to increase the power performance of this technology and facilitate its practical application. According to this approach, in this work different poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT-PSS) modified electrodes have been synthesised and evaluated as anodes in urine-fed MFCs. The electrochemical synthesis of PEDOT-PSS was performed by potentiostatic step experiments from aqueous solution at a fixed potential of 1.
