Abstract

Provided is a conducting polymer composition including a conducting polymer and an ionic conjugated polymer. The conducting polymer composition includes the ionic conjugated polymer having a conjugated structure, in addition to the conducting polymer, and thus, can enhance hole injection and transport capability. Furthermore, ionization potential and work function can be easily adjusted by chemically tuning the backbone of the ionic conjugated polymer. In addition, the conducting polymer composition can be dissolved in water, alcohol, or a polar organic solvent, thereby enabling a solution process and rendering spin-coating easier.
