Master Thesis Investigation of Ion Transport Properties of Organic Electrochemical Transistors(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Küçüktartar, Tuğçe; Yıldız, Ümit HakanOrganic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) comprise large amplification in current response while operating at low voltages and have high transconductance due to its volumetric capacitance created by ion injection from electrolyte through the whole organic semiconductor channel. OECTs are switchable by doping and de-doping of active channel via application of positive or negative gate bias. One of the most common organic material for OECTs is the conductive polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). PEDOT:PSS offers prominent advances because of their coupled electronic and ionic conductance, morphology and optical properties. Although the complex working principle of OECT has been tried to be elaborated with several models in literature, the conduction of ions and electrons in the channel has not been fully elucidated. In this thesis, the transformations between un-doped, doped and de-doped state investigated systematically based on the electrical (OECT), structural and morphological characterization of PEDOT:PSS thin film. Measurements were conducted with different dopant molecules and the repeatability of the device was investigated. As a result, the most stable drain and gate voltage range in which the device works has been determined. In addition, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) investigation performed which is revealed that the density of the bipolaron formation of PEDOT:PSS in the doped state increase as compared to its natural form in the de-doped state. XPS mapping on OECT devices suggested that ions migration is homogeneously generated by applied bias.Master Thesis A Novel Approach for Fabrication of Free-Standing Conductive Network: Pedot: Pss Based Bendable Chemo and Photoresistor(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Mutlu, Mustafa Umut; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Demir, Mustafa MuammerElectrospinning is a simple and versatile technique for the fabrication of polymeric nanofibrous substrate with high surface to volume ratio. Besides high surface to volume ratio, their dimensional stability and flexibility make it a perfect candidate for conductive network for various sensor applications. Free-Standing conductive network can be fabricated by deposition of PEDOT:PSS or MWCNT through bendable nanofibrous substrate. As a simple example for sensor applications, the moving object has been sensed through the electrostatic interactions between fibers and object. The sensing range has been found to be 1-5 cm above the surface of fabric. By the controlled combination of conductive polymers and electrospun polymer nanofibers effective device miniaturization has been provided without loss of performance. The noncontact motion sensor platform has unique flexibility and light weight holding a potential for wearable sensor technology. For another application as a wearable electronics, the controlled combination of conductive network and light-matter interaction provides opportunities to fabricate photo-resistor exhibits broad band response 400 to 1600 nm that holding promises for ultra-thin sensors used in telecommunication. As a final example, we report the effect of gold and iron oxide nanoparticles on the selectivity and sensitivity of MWCNT or PEDOT:PSS based chemiresistor responsive to VOCs. The interplay between conductive layer by gold and iron oxide nanoparticles resulted a significant conductivity improvement that affecting selectivity which is governed by the interaction between electron-donating VOCs and NP doped conductive layer due to variation in charge carrier densities in conductive layer lattice.
