Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of organic electrochemical transistors, and particularly relates to a fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Flexible fiber sensors are known for their compact size and 360-degree flexibility, enabling minimally invasive implantation in living organisms and conforming to biological tissues. These advantages help them establish a small and stable interface with tissues, thus flexible fiber sensors have attracted extensive attention in the field of implantable devices. Among them, fiber organic electrochemical transistors are particularly suitable for implantation in living organisms for detection applications due to their high amplification, low operating voltage and ion-based working characteristics, and have been developed as biosensors for detection of various chemical substances. However, the slow response speed of fiber organic electrochemical transistors significantly limits their detection capability for rapidly changing signals, such as electro-physiological signals, including electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, electromyogram, etc.

[0003] Improving the response speed usually requires reducing the channel size, and it is difficult to finely manufacture small-size channels on the curved surface of the fiber. Initially, the channel of the fiber organic electrochemical transistor is defined by the area of the semiconductor fiber infiltrated by the gel electrolyte, which is large and difficult to control, resulting in slow transistor response. Later, a well-defined channel was manufactured on the fiber organic electrochemical transistor using a manual mask technique, but the channel length is still in the millimeter level, making the transistor response time more than 100 ms, which still cannot meet the detection requirements for rapidly changing signals. Therefore, it is an urgent need to develop a fiber organic electrochemical transistor with a new structure to further reduce the channel size and accelerate the response.

[0004] In a vertical organic electrochemical transistor, the source and drain are stacked to form a staircase, and the channel is vertically connected to the source and drain. In this structure, the channel length corresponds to the thickness of the insulating layer between the electrodes, so it is easier to reduce and obtain a small-size channel. Currently, this transistor configuration is mainly applied to planar transistor devices, and there is a lack of development of fiber devices. Therefore, it is necessary to design a fiber-form vertical organic electrochemical transistor and a matching preparation method to introduce a compact vertical channel structure in the fiber organic electrochemical transistor, thereby improving its response speed to meet the detection requirements for rapidly changing physiological signals. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation cases, to help further understand the application, but the specific details of the implementation cases are only for illustrating the application, and do not represent all the technical solutions under the concept of the application, therefore, should not be understood as limiting the general technical solution of the application, some non-essential additions and modifications that do not deviate from the concept of the application, such as simple replacement or substitution of technical features with the same or similar technical effects, all belong to the protection scope of the application.

[0031] Example 1, Preparation of a fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor, its morphology and electrical performance characterization:

[0032] Step 1: Preparation of an initial source-drain fiber electrode. A nylon filament with a diameter of 75 pm was used as the substrate, and a chromium layer (5 nm) and a gold layer (100 nm) were sequentially evaporated by thermal evaporation as the drain electrode. A polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film tape (adhesive: acrylate) with a thickness of 3 pm was used as the substrate, and a chromium layer (5 nm) and a gold layer (100 nm) were sequentially evaporated by thermal evaporation as the source electrode. Then, the source film tape was attached to the curved surface of the drain fiber and folded to wrap the fiber under a certain tension. After that, two pieces of polydimethylsiloxane elastomer were used to press the film tape and the fiber tightly, and the excess tape part was cut off to obtain the initial source-drain fiber electrode.

[0033] Step 2: Preparation of organic semiconductor slurry. In 10 mL of poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) solution, 1 mL of ethylene glycol was added to improve conductivity, 94 pL of 3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl trimethoxysilane was used for crosslinking, and 6 pL of fluorocarbon surfactant was used to reduce surface tension. Then, the above mixed solution was concentrated to 40% of the initial mass in an oil bath at 100°C to improve the film-forming property of the slurry.

[0034] Step 3: Preparation of a source-drain fiber electrode with an organic semiconductor channel. The initial source-drain fiber electrode was dipped in the concentrated PEDOT:PSS slurry once at a speed of 300 mm / min to form an organic semiconductor channel with a thickness of 3 pm. After coating, the source-drain fiber electrode was annealed in an argon atmosphere at 140°C for 1 hour, and then coated with a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) solution (10 wt%, 3 pL) to insulate the area outside the channel to obtain a source-drain fiber electrode with an organic semiconductor channel. Soak in deionized water to remove low molecular weight compounds.

[0035] Step 4: Preparation of the gate of the fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor. A carbon nanotube fiber with a diameter of 100 pm was used, and the fiber tip was covered with a paper tape. It was placed in a vacuum vapor deposition system, about 4 g of raw material was added, the cracking temperature was set to 690°C, the rule tube heating temperature was 135°C, the target pressure was 17 mT, and the vacuum was pumped to about 10 mT. Parylene was deposited on the carbon nanotube fiber. After the tape was removed, the carbon nanotube fiber with an exposed tip was obtained and used as the fiber gate.

[0036] Step 5: Preparation of a fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor. The source-drain fiber electrode prepared above and the gate were twisted together to finally obtain a fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor. The organic electrochemical transistor is a fiber structure with a diameter of 175 pm.

[0037] The organic semiconductor channel connects the coaxial step arrangement of the source and the drain vertically, proving that the fast-response fiber organic electrochemical transistor belongs to a vertical organic electrochemical transistor. See Figure 2

[0038] In Figure 3 , the response time of the fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor is 12 ms, which is comparable to that of a planar organic electrochemical transistor, which has been proven to be applicable to electrocardiogram recording (Science 2023, 381, 686-693.). Therefore, the fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor has a fast enough response capability to meet the requirements of electrocardiogram waveform recording.

[0039] In Figure 4 , the fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor has a transconductance value of 16 mS at zero gate voltage, which avoids affecting biological tissues, and a high transconductance value ensures sufficient signal amplification level.

[0040] In Figure 5 , the normalized transistor transconductance value changes by no more than 10% under the conditions of 500 times of pulse switching, 500 times of bending with a bending radius of 2.5 mm, and 14 days of immersion in phosphate buffer at 37°C. Therefore, the fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor has good stability and can meet the requirements of long-term implantation detection in vivo.

A polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film tape (adhesive: acrylate) with a thickness of 3 μm was used as the substrate, and a chromium layer (5 nm) and a gold layer (100 nm) were sequentially deposited by thermal evaporation as the source. Then, the source film tape was attached to the curved surface of the drain fiber and folded to wrap the fiber under a certain tension. After that, two pieces of polydimethylsiloxane elastomer were used to press the film tape and the fiber tightly, and the excess tape part was cut off to obtain the initial source-drain fiber electrode.

[0044] Step 3: Preparation of source-drain fiber electrode with organic semiconductor channel. The original source-drain fiber electrode was dipped in the concentrated PEDOT:PSS slurry once at a speed of 300 mm / min to form an organic semiconductor channel with a thickness of 3 μm. After coating, the source-drain fiber electrode was annealed at 140°C in an argon atmosphere for 1 hour, and then coated with a solution of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) (10 wt%, 3 μL) to insulate the area other than the channel to obtain a source-drain fiber electrode with an organic semiconductor channel. Soaking in deionized water to remove low molecular weight compounds.

The source-drain fiber electrode prepared above was twisted with the gate to finally obtain a fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor. The organic electrochemical transistor is a fiber structure with a diameter of 150 μm.

[0047] Step 6: Test of simulating original electrocardiogram waveform. The above transistor was immersed in a 0.01 M PBS solution, the source was grounded, the drain was set to a bias of -0.6 V, and then a simulated electrocardiogram waveform was generated at the gate using a semiconductor tester, and the source-drain current change was detected.

[0048] In Figure 6 , the fast-response fiber vertical organic electrochemical transistor amplified the original simulated electrocardiogram waveform, showing a clear and real-time electrocardiogram waveform with a signal-to-noise ratio of 20.6 dB. Therefore, the transistor has excellent electrocardio signal amplification capability.
