- X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to characterize poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDT/PSS), one of the most common electrically conducting organic polymers. A correlation has been established between the composition, morphology, and polymerization mechanism, on the one hand, and the electric conductivity of PEDT/PSS, on the other hand. XPS has been used to identify interfacial reactions occurring at the polymer-on-ITO and polymer-on-glass interfaces, as well as chemical changes within the polymer blend induced by electrical stress and exposure to ultraviolet light.

- Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), usually known as PEDOT, and derivatives have attracted significant interest because of their high electrical conductivity. This electric property, however, deteriorates upon exposure to solar radiation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to study the UV-light-induced chemical changes in doped PEDOT, as well as in both neutral and doped forms of its alkylated derivative—PEDOT-C14H29. Analysis of the XPS data indicates an oxidation of the sulfur in the thiophene ring. Apparently, photo-oxidation leads to the formation of sulfon groups, SO2, resulting in a disruption of π-conjugation in PEDOT, which there by diminishes the conductivity of the organic layer. This hypothesis is supported by the results of a study of model molecules for pristine and the oxidized PEDOT unit: 3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and 3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene and S-dioxide (EDOT-SO2), respectively.

- Electrochemically prepared poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDT) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS), produced from acidic (PSSH) and basic (PSSNa) PSS, was characterized by cyclic voltammetry CV, UV-vis spectroscopy, in situ conductivity, and XPS spectroscopy and was compared with electrochemically prepared PEDT/tosylate and chemically prepared PEDT/PSS. CV analysis shows that the polymer synthesis is strongly affected by the nucleophilic character of the counteranion. Although CV and UV-vis spectroscopy show that the structure and degree of polymerization (oligomeric, ca. 10 EDT units) of the PEDT backbone is the same for all polymers, XPS is able to explain the different conductivity values for these materials (ranging from 1 S cm-1 for PEDT/PSSNa to 400-450 S cm-1 for PEDT/tosylate) based on doping level and composition. In particular, critical results are observed to be the ratios between sulfonate and thiophene units in the polymers: the higher the PEDT concentration, the higher the conductivity. XPS also explains by solvent-induced nanometer-scale segregation between PEDT/PSS and excess PSS particles the often reported conductivity enhancement of chemically prepared PEDT/PSS upon treatment with polar solvents.
