3-D PRINTED REDOX-ACTIVE ORGANIC ELECTRODES TO BRIDGE ACROSS BIOLOGY AND ELECTRONICS

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

An intimate and direct interface between inorganic electronics and living organisms will revolutionize the next generation of bioelectronics by bridging the signal and material gap between these two different fields. In this work, a redox-active microbial electrode is constructed as the novel interface by simultaneously 3D printing and electropolymerizing 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) in a liquid containing electrochemically active bacteria. A custom-made 3-D printer with a concurrent electrochemical control allows a scalable, template-free deposition of electrochemically active organic electrodes in a single printing. Electropolymerized poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) acts as redox-active bridges by exploiting extracellularly transferred electrons generated from the bacterial respiration, constructing a seamless contact between the biological processes and the external abiotic systems.
