TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of polyimide films, in particular to a preparation and application of a metal coordination type polyimide laser direct writing electrochemical electrode. Funding information
[0002] The application is supported by the National Key Research and Development Program, and the project number is 2024YFF0728502. BACKGROUND
[0003] Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial with excellent performance. It has been widely used due to its unique chemical, mechanical, optical and electrical properties. Since Tour et al. (Nature, 2022, 606(7912): 94-101) first proposed a method of preparing graphene by laser scanning the surface of polyimide (PI) in 2014, laser-induced graphene (LIG) technology has gradually become one of the mainstream methods for preparing graphene due to its simplicity, speed, low cost and the absence of chemical reactions. This method not only has applications in basic research, but is also widely used to prepare graphene materials with different functions. Today, LIG technology has important application prospects in many fields such as biosensors, wearable devices and medical monitoring.
[0004] PI is often used as a substrate material for LIG due to its excellent electrical insulation, mechanical strength and chemical stability. By precisely controlling the laser power, scanning speed and environmental atmosphere, the controllability of its physical and electrical properties and sensitivity can be achieved. However, traditional PI films are not ideal choices for flexible electrochemical electrodes and have certain limitations. Most PI materials have a main chain containing benzene groups, which makes PI materials generally exhibit strong rigidity, resulting in low elongation at break and poor toughness, thereby limiting their widespread application in the field of flexible electrochemical electrodes.
[0005] In addition, with the continuous advancement of technology, the demand for the detection of biologically relevant analytes such as dopamine, serotonin, etc. is growing, which also promotes the increasing demand for flexible electrochemical electrodes. In addition to requiring electrode materials to have excellent flexibility and stability, excellent electrical conductivity is also essential. However, traditional PI materials may generate oxides and nitrides and other by-products under laser irradiation, which may cause defects in the graphene layer (Nature Communications, 2024, 15(1): 2925), thereby affecting its electrical conductivity and leading to poor electrical conductivity of the electrode. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new PI materials as substrates for LIG to improve the electrical conductivity, selectivity and sensitivity of graphene electrodes. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application proposes a metal coordination type polyimide and a laser direct writing electrochemical electrode prepared therefrom to solve the problems in the background art. In the preparation of the polyimide material, the present application innovatively uses a diamine molecule containing a cyano group as a ligand and introduces metal ions such as Cu²⁺ and Ni²⁺ to form a coordination structure.
[0007] The cyano group is a strong polar group, which, as a strong electron donor, can form a strong coordination bond with metal ions, firmly fixing the metal ions on the ligand diamine molecule, avoiding the metal ions from approaching each other to form clusters, and further inhibiting the migration and aggregation of the metal ions, so that the metal ions are uniformly dispersed in the polyimide solution. Compared with the ligand structure without a cyano group, the diamine molecule structure containing a cyano group in the present application has a stronger spatial constraint ability on the metal ions, avoiding the local aggregation of the metal ions, so that the dispersibility is more excellent.
[0008] At the same time, the introduction of the metal coordination structure significantly enhances the mechanical strength and toughness of the material, and at the same time promotes the formation of metal ions into better dispersed nanoparticles, thereby effectively improving the conductivity of the LIG prepared by the laser direct writing patterning process. In addition, through the metal coordination effect, the metal ions are uniformly dispersed in the polyimide solution, and after laser treatment, monodisperse transition metal nanoparticles can be obtained, which promotes the absorption and electron transfer of biological molecules, thereby catalytically improving the selectivity and sensitivity of amine biological active molecule sensing.
