Problems solved by technology

The array electrodes modify the high-capacitance thin film layer on the gold-plated layer on the copper foil layer of the electrode points by electrochemical methods, so that the electrode points can enhance the ability of interface charge transmission due to high-capacitance materials, and can be used on smaller electrode points. Transmit a larger amount of charge, overcome the problem that only the gold-plated electrode points have a small safe charge capacity and cannot be used in animal nerve electrical stimulation experiments
