PEDOT films were fabricated by vapor-phase polymerization (VPP) with different inhibitor contents in oxidant-containing solutions, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, UV/vis transmittance spectra, atomic force microscopy, electrical conductivity and electrochromic measurements. The imidazole which serves as an inhibitor plays key roles on the polymerization reaction, and varying its content results in drastically different properties of the PEDOT films. In the imidazole/Fe(III) p -toluenesulfonate (Im/Fe) weight ratio range of 0∼0.25, the rate of polymerization can be significantly slowed down by increasing the Im/Fe ratio. The optimum Im/Fe ratio of 0.1 and polymerization time of 3 h results in PEDOT films with the highest conductivity on glass substrate (626 S/cm). Higher doping level is found in PEDOT films fabricated with the Im/Fe ratio above 0.1, causing low conductivity due to their loose morphology. The electrochromic properties of the films can be enhanced by prolonging the polymerization time to 3 h. It is found that the transmittance difference at 550 nm is above 10 % in PEDOT films fabricated with 3 h of polymerization. An electrochromic device is assembled and its coloring time is less than 3 s.

We developed a high-performance electrically conductive and transparent PVDF-TrFE based electrode for piezoelectric pressures sensor using the electrospinning technique. The electrode was produced by depositing the reduced graphene oxide (rGO), multiwall carbon nanotubes (rGO-MCNTs) via spray coating. Various concentration of rGO and MCNTs were used and optimized for improved electrical performance of the resultant electrode. The deposition of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was successfully achieved by using vapor phase polymerization (VPP). The morphological characteristics of the as-prepared hybrid composite nanofiber mats were analyzed by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (X-RD), and UV–visible spectroscopy. The electrical performance of the fabricated composite nanofibers was measured by using a four-point probe device. The results showed significant enhancement in electrical conductivity of the hybrid nanocomposite which increased up to 3916 S cm −1 and sensitivity of the developed pressure sensor was achieved 67.4 kPa −1 . This work suggests that the hybrid nanocomposite can be used for the transparent electrodes in a piezoelectric pressure sensor.

Flexible nanostructured sensors that combine electrical conductivity, mechanical robustness, and multimodal recognition capability are crucial for next-generation wearable electronics and intelligent human-machine interfaces. This study reports a dual-mode flexible sensor based on a bilayer PEDOT(MXene)-PVDF(HFP) composite membrane (denoted as PMPH), rationally designed via electrochemical polymerization and solvent-driven interface regulation. Through dual-dopant optimization and dimethyl sulfoxide-induced structural rearrangement, the PEDOT chains exhibit a transition from benzenoid to quinoid configurations, while MXene nanosheets provide a highly conductive and mechanically resilient framework. The resulting PMPH membrane displays superior conductivity, large stretchability (up to 1200%), and stable pressure and strain responses. The dual-mode flexible sensor not only distinguishes stretching and pressing behaviors but also achieves an intelligent classification accuracy of 92.13% through a machine-learning-assisted data recognition model.This study demonstrates a simple yet efficient strategy to couple conductive polymer-MXene hybrids with flexible fluoropolymers, bridging materials design and intelligent sensing toward advanced wearable devices.

Laser-induced 3D porous graphene enables scalable, low-cost biosensing. • PB/PEDOT/Au composite synergistically enhances stability, antifouling, and electroactivity. • The immunosensor achieves ultrasensitive detection of H1N1 and a wide dynamic range. • Label-free and pretreatment-free detection is successfully demonstrated in complex biological matrices. As a major cause of seasonal influenza, H1N1 virus requires advanced monitoring. Custom-patterned conductive graphene microelectrodes are essential for building relevant sensing platforms. In this study, a label-free H1N1 electrochemical immunosensor was developed based on a sequentially engineered laser-induced graphene (LIG)/Prussian blue (PB)/poly3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT)/Au nanocomposite microelectrode. Unlike previous studies that focused on single-component modifications, our approach integrates multiple functional layers to synergistically enhance signal stability, sensitivity, and antifouling performance. The LIG microelectrode was fabricated using a low-cost intelligent semiconductor laser, which directly patterned a three-electrode system on a polyimide (PI) film. Subsequently, PB, PEDOT, and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were sequentially electrodeposited onto the LIG electrode. PB served as an ultrasensitive electrochemical signal reporter, while the encapsulating PEDOT polymer layer not only stabilized the electrical signal of PB in neutral environments but also significantly enhanced the electrode's antifouling properties. To construct the label-free immunosensor, Au NPs were introduced to improve conductivity and were functionalized via Au–S–COOH bonding for the immobilization of H1N1 antibodies. Under optimal conditions, the LIG/PB/PEDOT/Au composite electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical activity and conductivity. The fabricated immunosensor demonstrated ultrahigh sensitivity with a wide concentration range from 0.1 fg mL −1 to 100 ng mL −1 , and an extremely low detection limit of 0.063 fg mL −1 . The results confirmed that the immunosensor possesses excellent selectivity, precision, and stability, and is thus suitable for the analysis of complex biological samples without the need for labeled probes and sample pretreatment. Therefore, this environmentally friendly and label-free immunosensing platform represents a significant advancement in point-of-care biosensing and demonstrates strong potential for rapid on-site screening and prevention of infectious disease outbreaks. A label-free immunosensor based on laser-induced graphene microelectrode modified with PB/PEDOT/Au nanocomposite enables ultra-sensitive detection of H1N1 virus in complex biological samples without pretreatment.

A ternary composite of thiolated poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), Au, Nitrogen-doped graphene was prepared via straightforward physical mixing. The optimal conditions for the uniform loading of Au nanoparticles on the composite materials were studied. The interaction between the polymer and Au nanoparticles as well as the influence of nitrogen-doped graphene on the electrocatalytic activity of the composite materials are discussed. The results show that the thiol groups on the polymer and the N atoms in the nitrogen-doped graphene have a strong adsorption effect on the Au nanoparticles, so that the Au nanoparticles are more uniformly loaded on the surface of polymer and nitrogen-doped graphene during the mixing process. In addition, the enhanced electron transfer rate, the high dispersibility of polymer and nitrogen-doped graphene, as well as the large specific surface area and catalytic activity of Au nanoparticles improve the electrocatalytic activity of the composite materials. Under the optimal conditions, the binary composite-modified electrodes exhibit superior electrocatalytic activity with the detection linear ranges of 0.5–65 μM, 0.02–60 μM, 0.06–55 μM and 0.1–70 μM for ascorbic acid, dopamine, uric acid, and nitrite ions, respectively.

Conductive hydrogel strain sensors using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as fillers are rapidly advancing and are emerging as candidates for monitoring devices such as wearable electronic skin. However, due to limitations such as low elongation and high hysteresis, it is difficult to fully leverage its promising sensor properties in practical applications. In this study, we synthesized flake-like PEDOT particles (FP particles) and used Polyacrylamide (PAM) as the hydrogel matrix to fabricate a conductive hydrogel strain sensor. These particles were obtained by grinding PEDOT particles prepared via a template-free method. After swelling with ethylene glycol (EG) and assembly with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), the FP particles become porous and contain many hydroxyl groups. This design enables the adsorption of acrylamide (AM) monomers within FP particles, facilitating the in situ polymerization of PAM onto the PEDOT/PVA chains, thereby yielding a dual-network structure with strong entanglements. This gives the sensor high elongation and very low hysteresis. In addition, it offers favorable sensor performance, including high sensitivity, high repeatability, and reliability. This strain sensor can be used in wearable electronic skin applications for facial monitoring and motion detection.

3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) is a significant material in the electronics industry for synthesizing Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). However, a significant amount of EDOT (>50%) is discarded in wastewater during the electrochemical polymerization of PEDOT owing to the low conversion of EDOT. To address this issue, a process for recovering EDOT through extraction and subsequent distillation was presented. Toluene was chosen as the extractant through a combination of COSMO-SAC and experiments, and the extraction mechanism was analyzed by quantum chemistry calculation. Next, the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the quaternary system of water, ethanol, toluene, and EDOT were obtained and fitted with the NRTL model. Furthermore, the recovery process was simulated and optimized. The results indicate that the recovery ratio of EDOT is higher than 99.8%, and the profit of per ton wastewater is 5756.97 CNY. The proposed process shows great potential for industrial application and cleaner production.

Non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors based on human sweat offer a new detection method that is non-invasive and suitable for continuous monitoring. They overcome limitations of traditional enzyme-based sensors, such as poor stability and strict storage requirements. This study developed a flexible electrochemical sensor using a composite of conductive polymer (P(EDOT-MeOH)), carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNTs), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for highly sensitive and selective detection of glucose in sweat. COOH-MWCNTs provide a conductive network with high specific surface area. AuNPs enhance the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose. The P(EDOT-MeOH) matrix improves the stability of the nanocomposite and effectively suppresses interference from electroactive substances such as uric acid and ascorbic acid in sweat. The sensor was fabricated using an electrodeposition process to layer the composite material onto a flexible screen-printed carbon electrode. This design offers both mechanical durability and wearability. Electrochemical tests showed that the sensor has a wide linear detection range (0.01–1 mM), a low detection limit (4.5 μM), and high selectivity under neutral conditions. The sensor maintained stable performance over 30 days and after 400 bending cycles, demonstrating its potential for wearable applications. During real-time sweat glucose monitoring in exercise conditions, results showed a strong correlation with blood glucose levels (R² = 0.976), confirming clinical applicability. This study provides a new strategy for developing low-cost, highly stable flexible non-enzymatic glucose sensors and supports the advancement of a new generation of wearable health monitoring devices.

Wearable thermoelectric generators (TEGs) rely on significant thermal gradients. They are susceptible to ambient conditions, including temperature and humidity, which compromise their longevity, wearability, and breathability, thereby limiting their utility in human microenvironments. This study introduced a layer-by-layer assembled photothermoelectric fabric comprising poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/carbon nanotubes/polypyrrole (PEDOT/CNT/PPy), engineered for self-powered electricity generation through the capture and conversion of environmental solar and thermal energy. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) was deposited on the fabric via low-temperature interfacial polymerization, incorporating carbon nanotubes to establish an organic/inorganic hybrid system, thereby enhancing the composite material’s overall thermoelectric performance. Subsequently, to enhance the thermal-to-electric conversion of the PEDOT/CNT thermoelectric fabric, it was integrated with polypyrrole, which exhibited superior photothermal conversion properties, constructing an organic/inorganic photothermoelectric fabric with a core–shell architecture to achieve an integrated light-to-heat, heat-to-electricity composite conversion. The PEDOT/CNT/PPy flexible photothermoelectric fabric achieved a maximum output voltage of 612.52 μV under infrared light irradiation and an output voltage of 270 μV under a temperature differential of 20 °C. Furthermore, a thermoelectric device assembled from three PEDOT/CNT/PPy strip fabrics affixed to the human arm generated an output voltage of 300 μV at room temperature. Consequently, the developed flexible photothermoelectric conversion fabric demonstrates potential for significant applications in innovative wearable technology and the sustainable energy sector.

Three-dimensional cell culture has been considered as a powerful tool to achieve the in-vitro investigation that can mimics the cell behaviors and functions in body. With the advancement on this field, the requirements on applying effective identification and quantification strategy for real-time monitoring of cells are becoming more urgently. Therefore, we developed a PEDOT@Pt-based antifouling electrochemical sensor and collagen hydrogel integrated 3D platform. Among the 3D platform, the PEDOT@Pt-based electrochemical sensor presented high performance toward reactive oxygen species (hydrogen peroxide), with a high sensitivity of 176.0 nA/μM in the linear range of 100 nM to 100 μM, and a low detection limit of 43.1 nM. Besides, under the simulated cell culture environment, the electrochemical performance retained up to 70.8 % of the original performance, demonstrating good antifouling property. As a proof of concept, the A549 and HeLa cells were cultured into the 3D platform and the real-time monitoring of cell-released reactive oxygen species were further conducted. More importantly, the reactive oxygen species release behavior of cells under different stimulation were also explored within the 3D integrated platform, which is expected to enable precise biochemical analysis of cells under the in vivo -like microenvironment.

To enhance the adhesion durability of conductive coatings, different dopamine (DA) solutions were further sprayed onto the surface of conductive coatings, and UV irradiation was used to initiate DA polymerization into polydopamine (PDA). For demonstrating the binding performance of PDA, The effects of solution pH, DA concentration and UV irradiation time on the coating durability to wash, friction and light exposure were measured and compared. The results indicated that the good polymerization of PDA on cotton fabric could significantly enhance the durability of conductive coatings to various external stimuli.

In recent years, the demand for efficient and flexible electromagnetic (EMI) shielding has increased dramatically to ensure the stability of electronic devices and protect the body from electromagnetic radiation due to the development of wearable electronics and fifth-generation network communication(5G). Nonwovens made from short-cut recycled carbon fibre have shown potential for use in the EMI shielding area due to their economic and ecological benefits. However, achieving lightweight, high-efficiency, and flexible electromagnetic shielding remains challenging. To address this problem, we constructed a lightweight multifunctional recycled carbon fibre (rCF)/ Ti 3 C 2 T x / Poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) nonwoven fabric with double-layered structure, high electromagnetic shielding efficiency (EMI SE), photothermal effect and good Joule heating performance via simple double vacuum-assisted filtration and hot-pressing strategy. Different sizes of Ti 3 C 2 T x flakes were prepared using improved mild etching, ultrasonic and vortex fluid power-focused delamination (PFD) methods. The rCF/Ti 3 C 2 T x /PEDOT: PSS (MPrCF) nonwoven fabric showed superior conductivity (96.18 S/cm), a favourable EMI shielding efficiency of 63.3 dB, and excellent absolute shielding efficiency of up to 13,900 dB cm 2 *g −1 with only 0.25–0.35 mm thickness due to the unique porous double layered lamination structure and high conductivity. In addition, the new MPrCF veil exhibited superior joule heating and photothermal performance with a saturated temperature of up to 290.2 °C at 5v voltage and 112.3 °C at 300 mW/m 2 light intensity. This new rCF veil shows great potential applications in composite reinforcement fields as a lightweight and scalable electromagnetic shielding material.
