Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are regarded as a promising platform for chemical and biological sensing due to their biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness and flexibility. However, maintaining long-term stability of OECTs while achieving high sensitivity remains a challenge for their practical applications. One of the main reasons is the relatively low electronic and ionic conductivity of the channel material. Herein, we present a p-type OECT fabricated by incorporating metal–organic framework (MOF)-MoS2 hybrid nanosheets into the PEDOT:PSS channel via solution-based processes. The strategy significantly improves the sensitivity of OECT, with the transconductance of the device increasing by ∼threefold to 19.34 mS. The higher transconductance is attributed to the hybrid MOF-MoS2 dopant, which not only enhances the electronic conductivity, but also strengthens ion transport and capacitance of the PEDOT:PSS film due to the synergistic effects from high electron mobility of MoS2 and MOF porous structure with large surface area. The fabricated OECT demonstrates high selectivity and sensitivity as a glucose biosensor across a wide concentration range in saliva. Finally, we illustrate the merits of integration machine learning algorithms to construct predictive models using the extensive datasets produced by our sensors for both classification and quantification tasks. These findings highlight the great potential of OECTs incorporating MOF-MoS2 hybrid, as a promising candidate for ultra-sensitive biological detections, and broaden the applications of our OECT biosensors for non-invasive health monitoring and wearable electronics.

The poly3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) hole transport layer (HTL) has always played a crucial role in achieving high-efficiency organic solar cells (OSCs) owing to its unique advantages of suitable energy levels and high optical transparency. However, the inherent insulation and easy aggregation property of PSS results in relatively low conductivity and high surface roughness of the PEDOT:PSS film, which is unfavorable for charge transport and the morphology of the top layer. To address these problems, we use PEDOT:PSS diluted in a series of alcoholic solvents and evaluate them on the PM6:Y6 system. Among these, the PM6:Y6 devices using PEDOT:PSS modified with ethanol as the HTL demonstrate the best vertical phase segregation and carrier extraction. In addition, the PEDOT:PSS film with added ethanol also has the smoothest surface compared to those diluted in the other alcoholic solvents. Finally, a high power conversion efficiency of 18.13% was obtained with the PM6:Y6 devices based on PEDOT:PSS modified by ethanol. This work provides a sufficient reference for the alcoholic modification of PEDOT:PSS and also proposes a feasible solution for high-efficiency OSCs.

3D-printed stretchable sensors have promising applications in wearable devices, human–computer interaction, soft robotics, and many other fields. However, low conductivity and poor stretchability still hinder their extensive applications. Herein, we report a strategy of double networks and annealed PEDOT:PSS for the first time. The new material combines mechanical stretch performance and conductivity together, where 3D-printed complex stretchable poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate-isobornyl acrylate) (PHI) structure serves as the tough network and annealed highly conductive PEDOT:PSS serves as the functional network. It is adopted to build 3D-printed porous stereo structures with both stretchability and conductivity. It exhibits interconnected uniform networks, improved storage modulus (1.3 * 10 6 Pa), higher conductivity (The conductivity of PHI/PEDOT: PSS annealed is up to 3.12 * 10 −1 S m −1 , which is 441 times compared to PHI/PEDOT: PSS), excellent stability and durability at a large strain of 60%. Hence, it is expected that this new strategy will open up wide possibilities for designing stretchable sensors and smart devices.

Conducting polymer-based bioadhesive conductive interface (CP-BCI) are widely used in bioelectronics, strain sensors due to their ease of processing and fabrication, excellent electrical, and biocompatibility. However, CP-BCI is conventionally fabricated using techniques such as cast molding, screen printing, electrochemical patterning, and photolithography. These traditional methodologies often encounter challenges in achieving precise control and the generation of intricate patterns, thus limiting the widespread application and evolution of these materials. Direct ink writing has become an emerging research hotspot for processing CP-BCI due to its high degree of programmability, precision, and process stability. Herein, biointerface inks with enhanced electrical conductivity and high adhesion have been specifically developed for direct ink printing. The development of this novel ink involves the incorporation of PAM into the PVA matrix to promote composite cross-linking, coupled with the integration of PEDOT:PSS conductive nanofibers within the matrix, thereby yielding the PEDOT:PSS-PAM-PVA biointerface ink. The innovative ink showcases exceptional printability, high electrical conductivity (0.24 ± 0.053 S m −1 ), high adhesion (54 ± 2.7 kPa), and a well-balanced mechanical profile, featuring a maximum stress of 51 kPa and an elongation at break of 369%. This research introduces the novel direct writing ink, promoting advancements in the manufacturing of flexible electronics. Graphical abstract

Nanostructured sulfur cathode with a multiple core-shelled structure, featured with the spherical double-layered hollow carbon/sulfur composite (DLHC/S) coated with a conductive layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), is designed and synthesized for lithium-sulfur batteries. Transmission electron microscope images of DLHC/S single nanoparticle show that the sulfur aggregates predominantly in the interior space between the two carbon shells by using a vacuum infiltration process. The electric conductivity of DLHC/S@PEDOT:PSS increases over 5 times as comparing to DLHC/S without PEDOT:PSS coating. The composite cathode exhibits a high reversible capacity of 1089 mAh g −1 at 0.2C and superior rate capacity of 510 mAh g −1 even at 4 C, and also remarkable cycling stability with a capacity decay of 0.097% per cycle after 500 cycles at 1 C. The excellent electrochemical performances for DLHC/S@PEDOT:PSS cathode are primarily attributed to the engineering of the unique multiple core-shell structure of DLHC/S@PEDOT:PSS, which inhibits the sulfur dissolution into the electrolyte and the polysulfide shuttle effect, together with the conductivity enhancement due to PEDOT:PSS coating.

Recent advances in cochlear implantology are exemplified by novel functional strategies such as bimodal electroacoustic stimulation, in which the patient has intact low-frequency hearing and profound high-frequency hearing pre-operatively. Therefore, the synergistic restoration of dysfunctional cochlear hair cells and the protection of hair cells from ototoxic insults have become a persistent target pursued for this hybrid system. In this study, we developed a composite GelMA/PEDOT:PSS conductive hydrogel that is suitable as a coating for the cochlear implant electrode for the potential local delivery of otoregenerative and otoprotective drugs. Various material characterization methods (e.g.,1H NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR, EIS, and SEM), experimental models (e.g., murine cochlear organoid and aminoglycoside-induced ototoxic HEI-OC1 cellular model), and biological analyses (e.g., confocal laser scanning microscopy, real time qPCR, flow cytometry, and bioinformatic sequencing) were used. The results demonstrated decent material properties of the hydrogel, such as mechanical (e.g., high tensile stress and Young’s modulus), electrochemical (e.g., low impedance and high conductivity), biocompatibility (e.g., satisfactory cochlear cell interaction and free of systemic toxicity), and biosafety (e.g., minimal hemolysis and cell death) features. In addition, the CDR medicinal cocktail sustainably released by the hydrogel not only promoted the expansion of the cochlear stem cells but also boosted the trans-differentiation from cochlear supporting cells into hair cells. Furthermore, hydrogel-based drug delivery protected the hair cells from oxidative stress and various forms of programmed cell death (e.g., apoptosis and ferroptosis). Finally, using large-scale sequencing, we enriched a complex network of signaling pathways that are potentially downstream to various metabolic processes and abundant metabolites. In conclusion, we present a conductive hydrogel-based local delivery of bifunctional drug cocktails, thereby serving as a potential solution to intracochlear therapy of bimodal auditory rehabilitation and diseases beyond.Keywords:conductive hydrogel;hair cell;hair cell regeneration;apoptosis;ferroptosis;cochlear implant;electroacoustic stimulation;GelMA;PEDOT:PSS

Recently, although perovskite-type LaMnO3 was an auspicious material for energy storage, it still suffered from unsatisfactory conductivity. To address this issue, we proposed compounding it with a conductive polymer, such as PEDOT: PSS, which could act both as a binding agent and an active material. In this study, the feasibility of the design was initially verified by analyzing the interface reaction process based on calculations based on first principles. Subsequently, the PEDOT: PSS was assembled on the surface of LaMnO 3 nanofibers prepared via the electrostatic method, denoted as P@LMO. Due to the strong van der Waals interaction and charge transfer at the interface, a covalent bond between Mn and S was formed, thus facilitating ion and electron transport and increasing oxygen vacancy concentration. However, characterizations also indicated that excessive polymer coverage induced by over-addition could affect anion adsorption. Finally, P@LMO-20 sample was considered as a more appropriate option owing to its comparable specific capacitance (465.5 F g −1 ) to the maximum value (486.5 F g −1 ) and its better rate capability. Moreover, the symmetrical supercapacitor (P@LMO-20//P@LMO-20) without additional binder exhibited excellent specific capacitance, superior energy density , and remarkable cyclic stability, revealing the practicality, and application potential of this composite materials.

Binary alloy platinum–cobalt (Pt–Co) and platinum–nickel (Pt–Ni) hollow nanospheres are prepared by using a simple solution reaction method. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy thiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) as supported layer further enhance the binary platinum alloy electrochemical properties. The prepared binary platinum alloys are observed with hollow nanosphere structure. The cyclic voltammogram and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement indicate that Pt–Co and Pt–Ni hollow nanospheres on PEDOT:PSS (PC-PP and PN-PP) electrodes have high conductivity and catalytic performance. Under simulated white solar light irradiation with intensity of 100 mW cm −2 (AM 1.5), the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on PCPP and PNPP counter electrodes achieve power conversion efficiencies of 9.02% and 8.23%, respectively, which are higher than the efficiency for the DSSC based on Pt counter electrode (7.96%).

Improving the specific capacitance and energy density of a fiber-shaped supercapacitor (FSSC) is critical to its applications as an energy storage device for advanced smart wearable electronics. In this paper, a heterogeneous poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)/reduced graphene oxide/molybdenum disulfide (PEDOT:PSS/rGO/MoS2) fiber was prepared to achieve a high-performance and durable electrode for the FSSC. As indicated, pseudocapacitive MoS2 was in situ grown on a highly conductive acid-treated PEDOT:PSS/rGO assembly with a hierarchical structure. This structural design emphasizes the wrinkled morphology and high conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS/rGO backbone to maximize the MoS2 deposition and accelerate its electron transfer, which fully utilizes the pseudocapacitance of MoS2 and provides additional capacitance contribution to the obtained device. Attributed to the synergy, the prepared fiber electrode in the FSSC exhibits high volumetric/areal specific capacitance (325.8 F cm–3/405.3 mF cm–2 at 1 A cm–3 or 1.2 mA cm–2) and excellent rate performance (82%, 1–10 A cm–3). The corresponding device shows an ultrahigh volumetric energy density of 6.9 mW h cm–3 at a high power density of 173.6 mW cm–3 and an areal energy density of 8.5 μW h cm–2 at 215.9 μW cm–2, together with excellent cycle stability and mechanical flexibility, outperforming most of the previously reported FSSCs. Accordingly, the proposed strategy provides a great opportunity to develop a high-performance FSSC for further wearable electronics.

Conventional temperature–pressure bifunctional sensors based on thermoresistive and piezoresistive effects could not meet the growing demand for detecting multiple signals due to their intractable signal-coupling problems. It is imperative to develop new approaches to detect multiple stimuli with single devices without complex decoupling processes. Herein, integrated temperature and pressure dual-mode sensors are fabricated by decorating elastic polydopamine-modified PDMS (PDA@PDMS) foam with thermoelectric PEDOT:PSS/carbon nanotube (CNT) components. The resultant PEDOT:PSS/CNT@PDA@PDMS (PCPP) sensor exhibits an accurate temperature sensing capability with an ultrahigh Seebeck coefficient of 40.5 μV K−1 and an ultralow detectable temperature of 0.05 K. Thanks to the elastic and porous PDMS foam and the thermoelectric PEDOT:PSS/CNT components, the PCPP sensor can detect both static and dynamic pressures with high sensitivity, fast response time, a wide detection range, and excellent durability. Notably, under the simultaneous stimulation of both temperature and pressure, the dual-mode PCPP sensor can convert these two stimuli to independent voltage and resistance signals on the basis of thermoelectric and piezoresistive effects. Meanwhile, the thermoelectric effect endows the sensor with human energy harvesting capacity by exploiting the temperature gradients between human skin and the environment. All these characteristics make the dual-mode PCPP sensor promising for wearable electronic skin applications.

It is well known that the balanced charge injection helps prepare high-performance red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the electroactive material CsPbBr x I 3- x quantum dots (QDs). Employing a hydrothermal method, we synthesized MoO 2 nanocrystals and doped them into Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) /poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). The results show that the synthesized MoO 2 nanocrystals can modulate the work function of PEDOT:PSS and enhance the conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS films, which is attributed to disrupting the hydrogen bond between PEDOT and PSS, and inducing the transition of PEDOT from benzoid to quinoid structure. In the PEDOT:PSS- x MoO 2 film, the work function increases from 4.9 eV to 5.09 eV when the content of x is 15%, which reduces the energy barrier between the PEDOT:PSS- x MoO 2 and the hole transport layer: poly[N,N'-bis(4-butylphenyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzi (poly-TPD), thus promoting the hole transport and improving the V on of the devices. Additionally, the device's external quantum efficiency (EQE) reaches a maximum value of 7.53% at x = 15% enabling an improvement of 2.6 times over the base device (EQE=2.10%). This work proves that PEDOT:PSS- x MoO 2 as a hole transport layer is an effective material for preparing high-performance QD-LEDs.

A high-sensitivity electrochemical sensor was fabricated via in situ growth of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the surface of a polypyrrole@poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonic acid (PPy@PEDOT:PSS) film for detecting sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate (SHF) molecules in milk and rice flour samples. The sensor fabrication process involved randomly decorating Ag seed points on the porous PPy@PEDOT:PSS film via a chemical reduction process using a AgNO 3 solution. Next, AgNPs were anchored on the PPy@PEDOT:PSS film surface using an electrochemical deposition method to prepare a sensor electrode. Under optimal conditions, the sensor exhibits a good linear relation within a range of 1–130 ng/mL for real milk and rice flour samples and its limit-of-detection values were up to 0.58 and 0.29 ng/mL, respectively. Additionally, Raman spectroscopy was used to identify the byproducts of the chemical reaction, such as formaldehyde. This AgNP/PPy@PEDOT:PSS film–based electrochemical sensor offers a simple and rapid method for detecting SHF molecules in food products.
