Various wt. ratios of indium were doped to the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styreneswulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to enhance the conductivity and transmittance. The transmittance of the films increased with increasing the amount of indium. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) image of 2.54 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS film shows large number of aggregated indium particles. However, more than 2.54 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS films showed reduced aggregated indium particles. Moreover, 4.47 wt. % of indium doped PEDOT:PSS film showed no aggregated particles. The resistivity of pure PEDOT:PSS film showed 880 kΩ·cm. The resistivity of 1.03 wt. % indium doped film reduced approximately 26 times compared with pure PEDOT:PSS film. The resistivity of indium doped film further reduced with increasing the amount of indium, which showed approximately 0.55 kΩ·cm for the PEDOT:PSS film doped 4.47 wt. % of indium.
