Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention provides a method for preparing a pH-sensitive OECT based on PEDOT:PSS, belonging to the technical field of OECT preparation. Background Art

[0002] Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are three-terminal signal amplifier devices that use permeable organic semiconductors as channel materials and liquid as gate dielectrics. Currently, the reported transconductance values ​​used to measure the signal amplification capability of OECTs can be as high as 57 mS. In addition, the commonly used organic semiconductor layer material PEDOT:PSS has good biocompatibility. Therefore, OECTs based on PEDOT:PSS are widely used in the fields of biosensing and electrophysiological monitoring.

[0003] In PEDOT:PSS materials, the PEDOT phase with regular regions is used for free carrier transport, and the amorphous PSS phase is used to improve the processability of PEDOT solutions. The PSS phase is insulating, and although it improves the solubility of PEDOT in a liquid environment, it seriously affects the charge transport of PEDOT in the solid state. Secondly, the PSS phase will come into contact with the aqueous solution during the biosensing process and interact with water molecules, causing the semiconductor to desorb and crack, reducing the stability of the OECT. The development of OECTs based on PEDOT:PSS semiconductor layers faces another technical bottleneck, namely the flexibility of PEDOT:PSS. In the paper published by Y. Wang, C. Zhu, R.Pfattner, H. Yan, L. Jin, S. Chen, F. Molina-Lopez, F. Lissel, J. Liu, and NI Rabiah, "A highly stretchable, transparent, and conductive polymer," Science advances, vol. 3, no. 3, p. e1602076, 2017, it is stated that PEDOT:PSS generally breaks when subjected to a strain of 5%-6%. This greatly limits its application in the field of wearable biosensors.
