Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT is a promising conductive polymer, which generally uses anionic polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) as the template to become water soluble. Besides the chemical and enzymatic approaches, we are presenting a novel method by employing nonthermal plasma‐activated hydrogen peroxide (PAH) to promote the synthesis of water‐soluble PEDOT(PSS), which is a more environment‐friendly technology. The reaction did not utilize any other chemical solvents, except for a monomer, template as well as hydrogen peroxide, and was initiated in a neutral aqueous solution. We have found that a heating procedure under 60°C was necessary for the effective synthesis of PEDOT(PSS). The final product was further characterized by UV–Vis spectrum, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, and conductivity measurements.

非热等离子体活化的过氧化氢合成导电聚（3,4-乙撑二氧噻吩）的绿色化学过程

聚（3,4-乙撑二氧噻吩）或PEDOT是一种很有前途的导电聚合物，通常使用阴离子聚苯乙烯磺酸盐（PSS）作为模板使其变得水溶性。除了化学和酶促方法外，我们还提出了一种通过使用非热等离子体激活的过氧化氢（PAH）来促进水溶性PEDOT（PSS）合成的新方法，这是一种更加环境友好的技术。除了单体，模板以及过氧化氢以外，该反应不使用任何其他化学溶剂，并且在中性水溶液中引发。我们发现有效合成PEDOT（PSS）必须在60°C下进行加热。最终产品的特征还在于紫外可见光谱，傅立叶变换红外光谱和电导率测量。
