Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transistor materials, and in particular to a fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and body fluid physiological marker-mediated plasticity, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the gradual development of wearable applications of smart fabrics, the preparation of fiber-based organic electrochemical transistors has gradually attracted widespread attention. However, when the conductive fibers prepared by existing technologies are applied to synaptic transistors, there is a problem of poor synaptic plasticity, so fiber-based synaptic transistors are still relatively rare.

[0003] Existing transistor synaptic devices can be divided into two types: thin-film transistors and fiber-based transistor synaptic devices. Thin-film transistor synaptic devices have poor structural biomimetic properties, poor mechanical stability, poor common fit and comfort. Fiber-based transistor synaptic devices can be divided into the following three categories: the first category is nanofiber membranes / wires. Although this type performs well in terms of energy consumption, it has poor mechanical fit with the substrate and is difficult to integrate over a large area. The second category is synaptic transistors integrated on a single fiber. This type often uses ferroelectric materials, so the operating voltage is too high. The third category is synaptic devices with dendritic network structures. This type successfully simulates the morphology of neural networks, but compared with the energy consumption of biological synapses, the energy consumption at the pj level is too high.

[0004] The patent with publication number CN114481603 B provides a polyester / boron nitride / polypyrrole composite conductive fiber and a fiber-based neurosynaptic transistor device. The neurosynaptic transistor includes a source, drain and gate arranged crosswise, and a gel electrolyte arranged between the intersections. The source, drain and gate use PET / BN / PPy composite conductive fibers, which are first impregnated with BN on the surface of polyester, and then pyrrole is polymerized and grown in situ on its surface to obtain a three-dimensional mesh and linear structure of conductive polymer composite fiber flexible electrode material. The fiber-based neurosynaptic transistor device has the advantages of softness, good biocompatibility and diversified integration methods. The high conductivity of the PET / BN / PPy channel material helps to improve the sensing performance of the device, but the energy consumption of the transistor device also increases, reaching 0.85pj / spike, which is far from the energy consumption of human brain synapses (1-10fJ / spike). In addition, the biochemical substances are unknown to mediate the plasticity of the neurosynaptic transistor. In summary, it is difficult for this device to achieve the coordinated optimization of high sensing performance and low energy consumption and has never achieved biochemical-mediated plasticity.

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to design a fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and fluid physiological marker-mediated plasticity, as well as its preparation method and application, to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

The preparation method first uses plasma sputtering technology to improve the hydrophilicity and charge distribution on the surface of the fiber substrate, and then composites the two-dimensional layered structure MXene on the fiber surface to form a dense and continuous film, and utilizes its large specific surface area and rich functional groups to uniformly adsorb organic semiconductor polymer monomers, inducing in situ polymerization reaction to obtain artificial nerve fibers with a porous nanostructure.

[0070] 1. Preparation method

[0071] Example 1

[0072] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and body fluid physiological marker-mediated plasticity, comprising the following steps:

[0073] S1, plasma etching the fiber substrate PA6 in a low-pressure cylindrical plasma reactor under nitrogen / hydrogen mixed gas conditions (volume ratio of 85% N2 / 15% H2) for 30 min to obtain functional PA6 (FPA6);

[0074] S2, fully immerse the FPA6 obtained in step S1 in 1 mg / mL Ti3C2T x The suspension was immersed in the solution for 8 h at a temperature of 4 °C. After being taken out, it was dried in a vacuum oven at 40 °C to obtain FPA6 / Ti3C2Tx Fiber; repeat the above soaking and drying steps 6 times;

[0075] S3, 1.14 mL of aniline monomer was added to 25 mL of 1 mol / L perchloric acid solution, and then the FPA6 / Ti3C2T x The fiber was immersed in the acid solution and stirred for 10 minutes; then 0.728g of ammonium persulfate ((NH4)2S2O8) was dissolved in an equal volume (25mL) of the acid solution and added dropwise to the mixed solution. Polyaniline was polymerized at 0°C for 48h, and the unattached polyaniline was washed and vacuum dried at 40°C to obtain PANI / MXene / PA6 fiber. The scanning electron microscope image is shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.

[0076] Figure 1 In the figure, from left to right are the electron microscope images of the unmodified FPA6 fiber substrate, plasma functionalized PA6 (FPA6), and FPA6 / MXene electrode. It can be seen that the surface of the unmodified FPA6 fiber substrate is smooth and the active sites on the fiber surface are limited; the fiber surface of the plasma functionalized PA6 (FPA6) becomes rough; after MXene (Ti3C2T x ) after modification, the fiber surface is loaded with a large amount of Ti3C2T x , Ti3C2T x The large number of hydrophilic functional groups on the surface and their intercalated structures provide abundant sites for the attachment of aniline monomers. Compared with the smooth FPA6 surface, the surface of the FPA6 / MXene / PANI fiber composited with the two-dimensional layered MXene has nanoneedles, nanowires or nanonet structures (such as Figure 2 shown).

[0077] S4, soaking the PANI / MXene / PA6 fiber obtained in step S3 in a PBS solution containing urate oxidase (UOx) for 2 hours and then drying at 4°C, repeating twice to obtain a FPA6 / MXene / PANI / UOx gate fiber electrode;

[0078] S5, using the PANI / MXene / PA6 fiber obtained in step S3 as the transistor source and drain, applying silver paste on both ends; dripping electrolyte in the middle position, waiting for it to dry slightly, and then dripping another drop, repeating this three times to form a gel electrolyte of a certain height; placing the FPA6 / MXene / PANI / UOx gate fiber electrode obtained in step S4 on the gel electrolyte in a cross shape, and dripping another drop of gel electrolyte at the same time, waiting for it to dry slightly, and then dripping another drop of gel electrolyte to dry slightly, and then obtaining a fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and body fluid physiological marker-mediated plasticity. Wherein, the gel electrolyte is a gel electrolyte composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA): phosphoric acid (H3PO4): deionized water (DI) = 1:1:10.

[0079] Figure 3 The energy consumption of the fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and body fluid physiological marker-mediated plasticity obtained in Example 1 in non-protonic ionic liquid gel electrolyte (volume ratio of PVA: phosphoric acid: water = 1: 1: 10) and proton gel electrolyte (mass ratio of polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP): 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bistrifluoromethanesulfonyl imide salt (EMIM: TFSI): acetone = 1: 4: 7) respectively. It can be seen that the corresponding energy consumption in the non-protonic ionic liquid gel electrolyte (left figure) and the proton gel electrolyte (right figure) are 0.10fJ / spike and 1.21fJ / spike, respectively, which are much lower than 0.85pj / spike in the prior art.

[0080] Figure 4 The excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) of the fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and body fluid physiological marker-mediated plasticity obtained in Example 1 under the use of proton gel electrolyte. When a negative pulse stimulus is applied to the gate of the device, the source-drain current of the device increases immediately, and gradually returns to the initial state after the stimulus is removed, forming EPSC. When the pulse intensity is gradually increased, EPSCs are significantly enhanced.

[0081] Figure 5 The EPSC of the fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and humoral physiological markers mediated plasticity obtained in Example 1 at different UA concentrations.

[0082] Experiments show that when a constant negative gate pulse is applied to the device, the electrons generated by the UA oxidation reaction will be pushed to the PANI postsynaptic channel, thereby increasing the conductance. The current change (I / I0) with increasing UA concentration on the nanomolar and micromolar scales shows that different UA concentrations can sensitively mediate postsynaptic channel currents, and EPSC is significantly enhanced with increasing UA concentration.

[0083] Figure 6The fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and body fluid physiological markers mediated plasticity obtained in Example 1 mediated plasticity under different UA concentrations and interfering substances.

[0084] Biologically, pain is sensitized by repeated stimulation due to cumulative changes in synaptic weight. To simulate this process, continuous negative gate pulses were applied to the nerve fiber-based OECT, and the current change was slightly enhanced under periodic negative pulses due to the doping of anions driven by the negative pulses in the channel. Then it returned to its initial state after the pulse was removed. No significant memory effect was found. When UA was present, a significant current enhancement occurred due to the doping of additional anions in the UA redox products. Long-term current retention was observed after 5 consecutive identical pulses, indicating that UA permanently regulates synaptic weight. High concentrations of interferons such as glucose, DA, and AA were also introduced to study their biological specificity. The current change of 10μM interferon was much smaller than that of 1nM UA, that is, the current change caused by high concentrations of interferons such as glucose, DA, and AA on the device was much smaller than the current change caused by low concentrations of UA on the device. Synaptic plasticity can only be selectively regulated by UA, indicating that the device has the potential to selectively convert biochemical signals into brain-like synaptic signals in a complex environment.

[0085] Comparative Example 1

[0086] Comparative Example 1 provides a method for preparing a fiber-based synaptic transistor. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that step S2 is not performed, that is, the two-dimensional layered structure MXene is not compounded on the fiber substrate. The rest is basically the same as Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0087] The experiment shows that a large number of PANI particles agglomerated and unevenly distributed appear on the surface of the fiber substrate, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0088] Comparative Example 2

[0089] Comparative Example 2 provides a method for preparing a fiber-based synaptic transistor. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that step S1 is not performed, that is, the fiber substrate is not plasma etched. The rest is roughly the same as Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0090] The test results are as follows: the fiber substrate was not plasma etched, resulting in uneven distribution of MXene sheets on PA6.

[0091] Examples 2-4 and Comparative Examples 3-5

[0092] Examples 2-4 and Comparative Examples 3-5 provide a method for preparing a fiber-based synaptic transistor with ultra-low energy consumption and body fluid physiological marker-mediated plasticity. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that the etching time in step S1 and the concentration of the MXene suspension in step S2 are changed, as shown in the following table. The rest is roughly the same as Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0093] Etching time (min) Concentration of MXene suspension (mg / ml) Example 1 30 1 Example 2 30 0.1 Example 3 3 12 Example 4 15 10 Comparative Example 3 30 0.2 Comparative Example 4 1 12 Comparative Example 5 40 0.1

[0094] Experiments show that when the concentration of the MXene suspension is lower than 0.1 mg / ml, it is difficult to form a continuous MXene composite film with uniform performance on the fiber surface.

[0095] When the etching time is 1 min, the functional group grafting efficiency is low and MXene is difficult to load evenly on the fiber electrode surface. When the etching time is 40 min, the fiber strength is significantly reduced.

[0096] Experiments show that MXene can also be Mo2CT x 、Mo2TiC2T x 、Cr2TiC2T x The conductive polymer may also be one of polypyrrole, polythiophene, poly-3-hexylthiophene, poly-3-cyclohexylthiophene, thiophene diketopyrrolopyrrole, and polyethylene oxide.

[0097] The fiber substrate can also be one or more of cotton, wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, vinylon, polypropylene, viscose fiber, carbon fiber, and aramid fiber.
