Abstract

AbstractA new method toward vertically oriented poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanotube arrays on transparent conductive oxide substrates is presented. The approach is based on the use of ZnO nanowire arrays as templates for the electropolymerization of PEDOT. Robust arrays of vertically oriented PEDOT nanotubes with different lengths and wall thicknesses were obtained by modifying the ZnO nanowire length and charge density passed during the electropolymerization, respectively. Furthermore, PEDOT nanotubes with different morphologies (top‐closed and mushroom‐like) were successfully designed by varying the PEDOT electropolymerization kinetics or monomer diffusion or both. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
