The evolution of nanomorphology in printed polymeric electrodes is investigated by in situ grazing‐incidence wideangle X‐ray scattering (in situ GIWAXS). The effect of solvent additives on the PEDOT:PSS film‐formation process is analyzed. In situ and static GIWAXS measurements show how co‐solvent additives influence conducting polymers in terms of interchain coupling, molecular orientation, and crystallite size.
