研究目的
To investigate Jonscher's law in the context of PEDOT:PSS impregnated conductive cotton fabric, specifically examining the frequency and temperature dependence of electrical conductivity and determining if the Jonscher index exceeds one, contrary to previous studies.
研究成果
Jonscher's law was strongly validated for PEDOT:PSS impregnated cotton fabric over a significant high-frequency range, with the Jonscher index consistently exceeding one, contrary to previous findings. The index and hopping frequency depended on dopant concentration but were insensitive to temperature. Regression provided the best fit compared to curvature and phase methods, but the physical meaning of the hopping frequency remains unclear. Future work could explore broader temperature ranges and additional materials.
研究不足
The temperature range was restricted by the melting point of the polymer, limiting the study to 30°C to 100°C. The hopping frequency identified by regression lacks a clear physical interpretation, and alternative methods (curvature and phase) did not provide accurate estimates. The study focused on only two concentrations of dopant, which may not cover all possible variations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used complex impedance spectroscopy to measure electrical conductivity over frequencies from 10 Hz to 13 MHz and temperatures from 30°C to 100°C. The drop-casting and drying method was employed to prepare conductive cotton fabric samples with low (
2:95% by weight) and high (7% by weight) concentrations of PEDOT:
PSS dopant. Regression analysis was applied to fit Jonscher's power law to the data.
3:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
One-inch square samples of commercial cotton fabric were used. The concentration of dopant was controlled by weight difference after coating. Data were collected at 10°C intervals from 30°C to 100°C, with 123 frequency observations per temperature and concentration.
4:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included PEDOT:PSS dispersion (PH 1.5–2.5) and Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) from Sigma Aldrich, and commercial cotton fabric. Equipment included an Agilent 4294A impedance analyzer for impedance measurements.

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Samples were prepared by adding 5% DMSO to PEDOT:PSS, sonicating for 10 minutes, drop-casting onto fabric, allowing to settle for 10 minutes, and drying at 100°C for 1 hour. Impedance measurements were conducted using the impedance analyzer across the specified frequency and temperature ranges.
6:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using regression techniques to estimate the Jonscher index (n) and hopping frequency (xc). Quality of fit was assessed using R2 adjusted, L1 error, and RMS error. Curvature and phase angle methods were also explored for frequency identification.
