Multilayered PEDOT/graphene

Multilayered PEDOT/graphene composites were also prepared by alternately elec-trodepositing PEDOT and graphene on metal electrode (Fig. 4.2D) (Lee et al., 2012). Deposition of each layer was repeated in order to obtain the desired number of multilayers. The graphene layer was compact with a thickness less than 10 run. The multilayered composite film possessed better performance than the conventional composite and bare PEDOT films.
