To better integrate them into daily life, flexible electrodes and flexible sensors can work properly under high and multiple deformations due to the excellent flexibility and bendability of their substrates. Therefore, the research and development of flexible electrodes and sensors are very important for the development of wearable devices.

[0052] Example 1
[0053] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for preparing a polymerized semiconductor yarn electrode, comprising the following steps:
[0054] 1) Pretreatment of cotton yarn: Clean and dry the impurities on the cotton yarn. First, soak the cotton yarn in 10 ml of acetone, absolute ethanol, and distilled water in sequence with a certain tension (10 cN), ultrasonically clean for 30 min, and then dry in an oven at 90 °C for 2 h.

Repeat the dipping-drying process three times.
[0057] 4) Preparation of cotton / MWCNT / PEDOT electrode:

[0073]
[0074]
[0075] As Figure 2 shown, the magnification factors are 700 times (left) and 10,000 times (right) respectively. The highly ordered π - π stacking of multi - walled carbon nanotubes is conducive to the transport of carriers. Poly(3,4 - ethylenedioxythiophene) wraps the fibers together in a dense nano - particle structure in the form of a film, improving the connection between the fibers, further increasing the adhesion of polypyrrole, and increasing the conductive path.
[0076] As Figure 3 shown, when a positive voltage is applied to the transistor gate, under the action of V gs , the polystyrene sulfonate in the channel will undergo doping - dedoping reactions; in the right figure, the structure constructed by polypyrrole and multi - walled carbon nanotubes can provide more channels for ion transfer, making Ids change faster. In addition, at a lower voltage, the change in Ids increases linearly, conforming to Ohm's law. The ionic gel medium modulates the carriers, and I ds shows saturation.
[0077] As Figure 4 shown, when V gs gradually increases, the carriers between the source and drain are neutralized by the cations in the electrolyte, resulting in less carrier flow and a decrease in current. Therefore, V gs has a regulatory effect on the fiber - based OECT, with a transconductance value of 6 mS and a switching ratio of 3. While in the right figure, the structure constructed by linear polypyrrole and networked poly(3,4 - ethylenedioxythiophene) can provide more channels for ion transfer, making I dsIt changes faster, with a maximum transconductance value of 24.12 mS and a switching ratio of 68.82, and the results are consistent with those of Example 1.
[0078] As Figure 5 shown, the present invention also provides a transistor sensor fabricated using the polymerized semiconductor yarn electrode, which includes a source electrode, a drain electrode, a gate electrode, and a gel electrolyte disposed between the source-drain electrode and the gate electrode, wherein;
[0079] The source electrode, the drain electrode, and the gate electrode are made of the polymerized semiconductor yarn electrode, with a length of 2 - 3 cm;
[0080] The gel electrolyte is composed of 43 wt% water, 14 wt% sodium polystyrene sulfonate, 30 wt% phosphoric acid, and 13 wt% polyvinyl alcohol.
[0081] Its preparation process is as Figure 6 shown as follows:
[0082] Take two multi-walled carbon nanotube / poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / polypyrrole semiconductor yarn electrodes with a length of 1.5 - 2 cm, fix them on a plastic substrate, apply 0.4 cm of conductive silver paste at both ends, and coat an organic solvent at the end of the silver paste to isolate it, so as to prepare the source-drain electrodes and define the channel; then take a multi-walled carbon nanotube / poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / polypyrrole semiconductor yarn electrode with a length of 2 - 3 cm and prepare the gate electrode through surface activation treatment. Then, arrange the source-drain electrodes and the gate electrode in parallel with a spacing of 0.4 cm, and apply the gel electrolyte at the channel restriction point, that is, assemble a multi-walled carbon nanotube / poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / polypyrrole yarn-based transistor sensor. The gel electrolyte is a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol, phosphoric acid, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, and deionized water.
[0083] Table 2 Test results of transistor sensors fabricated with semiconductor yarn electrodes in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 - 4
[0084]
[0085] The gel electrolyte is a mixture of the corresponding masses of polyvinyl alcohol, phosphoric acid, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, and deionized water at 60 - 90 °C.
[0086] The surface activation treatment process of the gate electrode is as follows:
[0087] Take a multi-walled carbon nanotube / poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / polypyrrole semiconductor yarn electrode with a length of 2-3 cm and soak it in a glucose oxidase solution with a concentration of 1-10 mg / mL. Treat it for 12-24 h under ice bath conditions, take it out, and then place it in a perfluorosulfonic acid solution with a mass percentage concentration of 0.5-3% under ice bath conditions for 12-24 h. Take it out and air-dry it under ice bath conditions to prepare the gate electrode.
[0088] The concentration of the glucose oxidase solution is 5 mg / mL.
[0089] The mass percentage concentration of the perfluorosulfonic acid solution is 0.5%.
[0090] The ice bath condition is below -5 °C.
[0091] As Figure 7 shown, at different bending radii, as V gs increases, Ids decreases. As the bending angle changes, its turn-on current also changes. When the bending radius is 0 cm, the transconductance value is 22.37 mS. When the bending radius is 0.5 cm, the transconductance value is 20.78 mS. When the bending radius is 1.0 cm, the transconductance value is 20.68 mS. When the bending radius is 1.5 cm, the transconductance value is 19.2 mS. When the bending radius is 2 cm, the transconductance value is 17.5 mS. As the bending angle increases, the performance of the fiber-based OECT decreases, but still remains at a relatively high level. The results show that bending has little effect on the performance of the fiber-based OECT, which may be due to the stable structure formed by MWCNT and PPy improving the stability of the fiber-based OECT.
[0092] As Figure 8 shown, the added glucose concentration is 5 nM - 100 μM, applying V gsIt is 0.5V. Before 200s, the Ids without adding glucose is 12.86 μA. After 200s, 5 nM concentration of glucose is added drop by drop, and the current starts to respond. The Ids decreases rapidly. After that, the Ids rebounds. Then 100 nM concentration of glucose is added drop by drop, the current decreases, and then the Ids rebounds again. When other concentrations are added drop by drop, the rule is the same as above. The overall detection range can reach 5 nM - 1 mM, and the detection limit is as low as 5 nM. The specificity is reflected in: when glucose, uric acid, and NaCl are added drop by drop on the biosensor, in the first 100s, the current of the device itself is 5.3 μA. After adding 500 nM glucose, the change value of the current is 23.9 μA. After the reaction ends, the current rebounds. When 500 nM uric acid is added, the change value of the current is 7.96 μA. When 500 nM NaCl is added, the change value of the current is 8.2 μA. When 500 nM glucose is added continuously, the change value of the current is 21.70 μA. The change values of the current for adding 500 nM glucose twice are not very different. When uric acid and NaCl are added, the change values of the current are very small, indicating that it has good specificity for glucose.
[0093] The semiconductor yarn electrode prepared by the present invention has good conductivity and stability (still maintaining 50 Ω after 30 days); the prepared transistor sensor can stably detect the real-time change of glucose concentration in human sweat (detection limit 1 nM / L, detection range 1 nM / L - 1 mM / L); it has good sensitivity (transconductance 24 mS) and good flexibility (the transconductance remains 80% when the mechanical bending radius is 0 - 2 cm).
[0094] The beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
[0095] 1. The semiconductor yarn electrode designed by the present invention can work normally in a bent state (bent 120°) when applied to a transistor. The networked poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) improves the conductive performance of the electrode (50 Ω). The linear polypyrrole improves the on-off ratio of the transistor sensor (68.2). The transconductance (24.12 mS) ensures good cycle stability at a low working voltage (<1V).
[0096] 2. The preparation process of the semiconductor yarn electrode designed by the present invention is simple, with low production cost and good conductivity. At the same time, this transistor sensor has the ability to detect glucose, strong anti-interference ability, high accuracy, good sensitivity, the detection limit is 1 nM / L, and the detection range is glucose with a concentration of 1 nM / L - 5 mM / L.
[0097] 3. The transistor sensor designed by the present invention uses a flexible matrix material, and the prepared transistor sensor has good flexibility. It can be made into an electronic skin sensor or woven into a fabric to make a wearable sensor, which can realize real-time monitoring of the glucose concentration in human blood.
[0098] The present invention provides a preparation method of a polymerized semiconductor yarn electrode and a transistor sensor. The semiconductor yarn electrode is prepared by coating hydroxyl oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes on a cotton yarn substrate after plasma cleaning. Utilizing the thermal conductivity of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes, a linear network is formed between them and pyrrole to better polymerize the conductive polymer pyrrole monomer. Then, the semiconductor conductive materials pyrrole and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene are in-situ polymerized onto the composite yarn treated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes to obtain a uniform and dense linear multi-walled carbon nanotube / poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / polypyrrole conductive composite yarn electrode. Finally, a semiconductor yarn is used as the source and drain electrodes, and the yarn treated with perfluorosulfonic acid solution and specific enzyme is used as the gate electrode to form a transistor sensor. The preparation method of the present invention has a simple process, relatively mild reaction conditions, low production cost, and good conductivity of the semiconductor yarn electrode. At the same time, the prepared transistor sensor has strong anti-interference ability, high accuracy, good sensitivity, a detection limit as low as 1 nM / L, and a wide detection range. It can detect glucose with a concentration of 5 nM / L to 1 mM / L and can be applied to the field of wearable electronic sensing.

It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the field, additional modifications can be easily made.
