Dear Harish

The smaller the energy band gap (EBG)between HOMO and LUMO in an active polymer ,i.e., PEDOT:PSS, the higher the conductivity of the polymer. It is just like in a conductive metal, the EBG is between the conductive band & the Valence Band , EBG

Abdelkader Hafdallah

I agree with Khaled J. Habib
