Beyond acid treatment of PEDOT:PSS: decoding mechanisms of electrical conductivity enhancement

Coupling the acid post-treatment and hot-pressing processes can exponentially improve the electrical conductivity of PEDOT:PSS (3360 S cm−1) by providing a densely packed and well-ordered structure of PEDOT lamella along the edge-on direction.
