    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Flexible Electronics
    • Neural Engineering

    Background:

    • Traditional metal electrodes pose risks to delicate biological tissues due to their rigidity.
    • Flexible electrodes are crucial for applications like neural signal recording and muscle stimulation.
    • Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a promising matrix for flexible electrodes due to its biocompatibility and flexibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To synthesize and evaluate novel composite flexible electrode materials based on boronic acid-modified carbon dots (BA-CDs) and PDMS.
    • To investigate the effect of PDMS crosslinking density on the electrochemical and mechanical performance of the BA-CDs/PDMS electrodes.
    • To assess the suitability of the developed electrode for implantation and its potential in neural recording and tissue stimulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesis of boronic acid-modified carbon dots (BA-CDs).
    • Fabrication of BA-CDs/PDMS composite materials with varying crosslinking densities.
    • Electrochemical evaluation (conductivity, charge storage capacity) and mechanical testing (Young's modulus).

    Main Results:

    • A composite electrode with 10% BA-CDs, 16% glycerol, and 74% PDMS at higher crosslinking density exhibited superior conductivity (2.68×10-3 S/cm) and lower bulk impedance (47.7 Ω).
    • The electrode demonstrated charge storage capability, though capacity was below certain tissue activation limits.
    • The electrode's modulus of elasticity (0.2322 MPa) is compatible with biological soft tissues.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed BA-CDs/PDMS composite electrode offers a flexible, conductive, and biocompatible alternative to rigid metal electrodes.
    • Optimized PDMS crosslinking enhances electrode performance for potential use in neural interfaces and therapeutic electrical stimulation.
    • This material represents a significant advancement for implantable electronic devices, minimizing tissue damage and improving functionality.
