The invention relates to a
graphene hydrogel neural
microelectrode and a preparation method thereof.The neural
microelectrode comprises a long-strip-shaped
electrode body, the
electrode body comprises an insulating substrate layer, a conductive layer and an insulating covering layer, and the conductive layer is wrapped and sealed by the insulating substrate layer and the insulating covering layer; a contact window is arranged at one end, close to the
electrode body, of the insulating covering layer, a conductive expansion layer made of
graphene hydrogel is arranged below the contact window and the insulating covering layer on the periphery of the contact window, the conductive expansion layer is electrically connected with the conductive layer, and the conductive expansion layer can expand after being heated or absorbing water to form an
electrode contact protruding outwards from the contact window. Amino multi-walled carbon nanotubes, amino
graphene quantum dots and gold nanoparticles are loaded in the graphene hydrogel. The
electrode contact has the advantages that after the
electrode contact is heated or absorbs water, the conductive expansion layer expands to form the electrode contact protruding out of the contact window, and the electrode contact is good in tissue affinity, capable of making better contact with
nervous tissue and more excellent in performance.
