The influence of tethered dopant templates on the electrochemical, nanomorphological, and nanomechanical properties of 2D conductive polymer films

Key Points

• The aim is to understand how tethered dopant templates affect the properties of 2D conductive polymer films.
• Utilized tethered dopant layer to manipulate nanomorphology.
• Assessed electrochemical performance alongside mechanical properties.
• Examined the resultant stiffness of the treated polymer films.
• Grafted dopant templates significantly altered the nanomorphology of films.
• Mechanical stiffness improved without compromising electrochemical performance.
