The conductive polymer-electrolyte interface plays an important role in many electrochemical devices. An unusual situation arises when a solvent-free ionic liquid (SF-IL) is used as the electrolyte because it behaves as a molten salt rather than an electrolyte solution. On the basis of Raman spectra, it was found that the presence of ion pairs of SF-IL in the vicinity of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) results in a decrease in the oxidation level of the polymer and an increase in the HOMO-LUMO gap. The process of polymer "dedoping" and the modification of the electronic structure of the polymer are illustrated by quantum chemical calculations.
