This invention discloses a breathable, conductive hydrogel
electrode, its preparation method, and its applications. The breathable, conductive hydrogel
electrode comprises a
porous fiber support structure and a hydrogel conductive network. The
porous fiber support structure has a three-dimensional porous structure formed by interwoven porous fibers, each
fiber possessing a three-dimensional interconnected channel structure formed by interconnected pores distributed on and within the porous fibers. The hydrogel conductive network is distributed on the surface and within the
porous fiber support structure, forming a continuous
ion conduction path within the
electrode. The breathable, conductive hydrogel electrode provided by this invention has advantages such as high breathability, self-humidification,
low impedance, and breathability, achieving high-fidelity, long-term acquisition of physiological signals such as electroencephalograms (EEG), electrocardiograms (ECG), and electromyograms (EMG). It can be widely used in electrophysiological
signal monitoring, smart wearables,
sleep analysis, and human-computer interaction.
