Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of material technology, and particularly to an organic optoelectronic material, its fully flexible sensor, and a heart rate and blood oxygen monitor. Background Art
[0002] Intelligent monitoring of human heart rate is crucial for personal health management and medical monitoring. For heart health assessment, abnormal heart rate may indicate the presence of heart diseases, such as arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, etc. In sports and fitness, monitoring heart rate can help individuals adjust the exercise intensity and ensure that the exercise is carried out within a safe heart rate range to achieve the best exercise effect. In addition, real-time monitoring of human heart rate also plays an important role in chronic disease management, sleep quality monitoring, drug effect evaluation, psychological state evaluation, etc. Blood oxygen saturation is an important indicator for evaluating the oxygen exchange ability of the lungs, which can reflect the health status of the respiratory system. At the same time, blood oxygen saturation can also reflect the functions of the heart and circulatory system. The mainstream wearable heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring devices on the current market, including designs such as watches, bracelets, and finger clips, all operate based on the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG). By capturing the reflection, transmission, or absorption states of green light, red light, and infrared light in human blood vessels and tissues, a pulse wave signal is generated, and then the heart rate and blood oxygen saturation are calculated to achieve real-time health monitoring.
[0003] However, these devices have several limitations. First, due to the use of rigid photodetectors and rigid circuit systems, their fit with the human skin during wearing is not ideal. Especially during exercise, they are prone to relative displacement with the skin, resulting in a weakened received optical signal and affecting the accurate reading of physiological parameters. Second, the wearing positions of these devices are relatively fixed (such as the wrist or finger), which limits the possibility of obtaining pulse signals from other parts of the body for cross-verification and increases the measurement error. Moreover, these devices are easily interfered by changes in environmental light. For example, in outdoor strong light or indoor complex light source environments, it may lead to unstable measurement data, further reducing the accuracy of monitoring. Therefore, in order to achieve more accurate detection of human pulse, heart rate, and blood oxygen, it is necessary to design and fabricate a fully flexible heart rate and blood oxygen monitor, whose thin and light characteristics are more easily attached to the human skin and have better adaptability. Even during exercise, it can maintain a more stable contact with the human body, thus greatly reducing motion artifacts and making users not feel uncomfortable during long-term wearing, further enhancing the user experience. The preparation of flexible photodetectors is the key to realizing a fully flexible heart rate and blood oxygen monitor. Intrinsically flexible organic optoelectronic materials exhibit good stretchability and bendability and are excellent materials for preparing flexible photodetectors. In addition, the bandgap of organic optoelectronic materials can be adjusted through chemical modification and molecular design, so as to achieve selective absorption of different wavelengths to avoid interference from environmental light. Therefore, to realize a fully flexible heart rate and blood oxygen monitor, the key lies in developing and manufacturing fully flexible sensors with excellent performance and complementing them with a delicate and compact peripheral circuit design.

Octyl chain effect: The octyl ester side chain increases the hydrophobicity and solubility of the molecule, facilitating solution processing to prepare high-quality thin films.

[0084] The following is elaborated in combination with specific embodiments:
[0085] Example 1:

Add the reaction product to 70 mL of methanol for precipitation, filter by suction, wash three times with methanol, and the filter cake is the crude product of the organic optoelectronic material. Then, a black solid, namely the organic optoelectronic material (0.1 g, yield 40%), is obtained by column chromatography.

[0093] Example 2:
[0094] Prepare a fully flexible sensor:
[0095] (1) Ultrasonically clean the glass substrate successively with glass cleaning solution, deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol, then use a nitrogen gun to dry the glass surface, and place it in a petri dish for later use;
[0096] (2) Paste the flexible substrate poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film sputtered with ITO electrodes on the treated glass substrate, ultrasonically clean it successively with acetone and isopropanol, then use a nitrogen gun to dry it, and place it in an ultraviolet ozone processor for irradiation to obtain a flexible substrate and a bottom electrode layer;
[0097] (3) Blend and dilute PEDOT:PSS with distilled water at a ratio of 1:1. After ultrasonic dispersion, filter it through a PES 0.45-micron pore size filter membrane, and spin-coat and dry it on PET-ITO conductive glass. Then place it in a glove box filled with nitrogen to obtain a hole transport layer;
[0098] (4) Mix the donor material PBDB-T and the acceptor material, the organic optoelectronic material of the present invention. Among them, the mass ratio of the donor material to the acceptor material is 1:1; spin-coat the mixed active layer solution onto the hole transport layer and anneal it to obtain an active layer;
[0099] (5) Dissolve the PDINO material in a methanol solution with a concentration of 2 mg / mL, and spin-coat it onto the active layer to obtain an electron transport layer;
[0100] (6) Vacuum deposit a 100-nm-thick Ag layer on the PDINO thin film as the top electrode;
[0101] (7) Remove the glass substrate to obtain a flexible organic optoelectronic detector.
[0102] Evaluate the optoelectronic detection performance of the fully flexible sensor through dark current testing, responsivity calculation, and response time testing. Figure 5 The test results show that at a reverse bias of -0.1 V, the dark current of the OPD is 43.9 nA . cm -2 , and at zero bias, the dark current of the OPD is 1.02 nA . cm -2 . At Figure 6 , the specific detectivity reaches 1.02×10 12 Jones. In summary, it can be seen that the fully flexible sensor obtained in the present invention has good performance.
[0103] At Figure 13 and Figure 14 are the absorption spectra of the organic optoelectronic acceptor material and donor material of the present invention in solution and thin film. Those skilled in the art should understand that only when the acceptor material and donor material have absorption peaks within a suitable range, can the fully flexible sensor finally have good responsivity under red light with a wavelength of 620 nm and near-infrared light with a wavelength of 950 nm.
[0104] The sensors of the prior art do not have significant responsivity under red light with a wavelength of 620 nm and near-infrared light with a wavelength of 950 nm respectively (refer to Flexible Self-Powered Organic Photodetector with HighDetectivity for Continuous On-Plant Sensing), as Figure 15as shown. In the present invention, in Figure 4 Among them, the fully flexible sensor prepared based on the organic optoelectronic receptor material in the present invention has an excellent responsivity of 0.31 A / W and 0.38 A / W under red light with a wavelength of 620 nm and near-infrared light with a wavelength of 950 nm, respectively, which fits the wavelength ranges of red light and near-infrared light commonly used for detecting human heart rate and blood oxygen saturation. It can remove the interference of ambient light without filtering. In particular, near-infrared light has less scattering than visible light, reducing noise interference and improving signal quality.
[0105] Example 3:
[0106] Prepare a compact fully flexible heart rate and blood oxygen monitor:
[0107] As shown in the attached Figure 7 figure, it is a system schematic diagram of a wearable fully flexible heart rate and blood oxygen monitor based on an organic photodetector provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen in Figure 7 it, the circuit board mainly has a fully flexible sensor, a pulse wave signal processing module, and a main control processor module.
[0108] First, the fully flexible sensor is arranged on the circuit board to be used for the attenuated light after transmission, reflection, and absorption by human blood vessels and tissues, record the pulsation state of blood vessels, and measure the pulse signal, and convert the optical signal into an optoelectronic signal and output it to the pulse wave signal processing module.
[0109] The pulse wave signal processing module makes full use of the signal processing function of the analog front-end chip AFE4403YZP. The built-in preamplifier amplifies the analog optoelectronic signal output by the fully flexible sensor, and at the same time supports multiple gain settings to adapt to optoelectronic signals of different intensities, obtaining a highly accurate and reliable pulse wave signal. The AFE4403YZP chip has a built-in temperature sensor for monitoring the ambient temperature, which helps to calibrate and compensate for the influence of temperature changes on the measurement results, and communicates with an external microcontroller through the I2C interface. In Figure 8 This is the schematic diagram of the pulse wave signal processing module.

[0139] (2) Bluetooth protocol stack configuration:
[0140] Firmware Programming: The firmware running on the nRF52833 needs to configure the Bluetooth protocol stack, including setting the BLE role (central device, peripheral device), services (such as the Heart Rate Service), characteristics (such as Heart Rate Measurement), and GATT configuration.
[0141] SPI Communication The AFE4403YZP communicates with the nRF52833 via SPI.
