Coating of large-area stainless steel substrates with iridium oxide films, carbon nanotube mesh, and PEDOT:PSS.
Long-term (300-600 hours) continuous low-frequency cycling of coated electrodes.
Evaluation of cathodic charge storage capacity during electrochemical cycling as a primary stability metric.

Main Results:

Demonstrated that stability of electrode coatings can be quantitatively measured over extended periods.
Identified specific stability characteristics for iridium oxide, carbon nanotube mesh, and PEDOT:PSS coatings.
Showcased the relevance of proposed stability measures for predicting long-term electrode performance.

Conclusions:

The developed stability measures provide a reliable assessment for implantable electrode coatings.
Long-term stability is a critical, measurable factor for the successful application of neural stimulating electrodes.
