Giant Plasmon Resonance Shift Using Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) Electrochemical Switching
Herein, we report the variation of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticle (NP) arrays covered by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as a function of the electronic state of the polymer. Giant shifts and fine-tuning of the LSPR of gold NPs surrounded by PEDOT/sodium docecyl sulfate have been achieved. The color variations of plasmonic/conducting polymer (CP) devices are given not only by changes of the optical properties of the CP upon doping but also by a close synergy of the optical properties of CP and NP. Such systems can considerably extend the field of CP-based electrochromic devices.
