Conductive polymers are polymers with essential properties, such as: excellent electrical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical. However, the electronic structure of the conductive polymer determines to a large extent, the performances and their application areas.
Generally, conducting polymers have low electrical conductivity and optical properties in their pristine state; however, doping with suitable materials can give them excellent properties.
The doping process introduces charge carriers into the polymer electronic structure, in which the charge carrier's density is a function of the material's morphology. The redox characteristics of conjugated polymers make possible n-type (reduction) and p-type (oxidation) doped conducting polymers .
The multifunctionality of conductive polymers results from the tendency to modify their electronic properties. Therefore, the applicability of conductive polymers is subject to their synthesis route, redox ability, doping process, reaction time, and the polymer's intrinsic electrical property.
Monitoring the electrochemical potentials of conducting polymers under doping conditions is usually investigated using cyclic voltammetry techniques . As an essential factor in the electrochemical performances of electrochemical electrodes, the electrical conductivity of conductive polymers must be adequately controlled using a suitable dopant.
In the undoped state, conducting polymers have a moderate bandgap of 2–3 eV. They behave as an anisotropic, quasi-one-dimensional electronic structure like a conventional semiconductor and exhibit the electrical and optical behavior of semiconductors along with the mechanical action of typical polymers.
