Abstract: Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)(PEDOT) nanoparticles was prepared by reverse micelles technique. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis-near IR(UV-Vis-NIR) adsorption spectrum, IR spectrum, X-ray photoelectron(XPS), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results confirmed that size distribution of this particle was 30—40 nm and the nanoparticles has been doped by Cl- during synthesis process. The conductivity of nanoparticles was investigated by four-probe and it has been found that this nanopartices showed higher conductivity(10.2 S/cm)than conventional one. Furthermore, the gas sensitivity of nanoparticles deposited on quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) was studied and the nanopartices deposited device exhibited excellent sensitivity to NH3 gas at low concentration. The mechanism of conductivity and gas sensitivity of the nanoparticles are also included in this paper.
