Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is the most common and commercially, successful conductive polyelectrolyte in the field of optoelectronics. Its properties such as high transparency in the visible range, electrical conductivity, and work function enable multiple applications in the field of electronics. Properly tuning the work functions within semiconductor devices is very crucial in terms of performance and may be strongly influenced by unmonitored processing conditions. For example, PEDOT:PSS is highly hygroscopic in nature, which may impact on its functionality. In the present work, we have investigated the impact of the thermal treatments and relative humidity during film casting or storage on the work function of PEDOT:PSS films. We find clear trends between the processing conditions and absolute work function as obtained with a carefully calibrated Kelvin Probe setup. As a conclusion, we can suggest suitable processing parameters for a wide range of formulations and targeted electronic properties.
