Bilayers of drop casted C60 fullerene films and electrochemically synthesized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films have been studied. The PEDOT film was polymerised by cyclic voltammetry on top of the drop casted C60 fullerene film. The bilayer films were produced and characterized in three different electrolytes; tetrabutylammoniumhexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in acetonitrile (ACN) and in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4). The bilayers were studied by cyclic voltammetry and in situ Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy. Both p- and n-doping of the bilayer films were studied and compared with PEDOT films prepared in organic media.
