Abstract The use of water-based chemistry in photolithography during semiconductor fabrication is desirable due to its cost-effectiveness and minimal environmental impact, especially considering the large scale production. Despite these benefits, limited research has reported successful demonstrations photopatterning, particularly for intrinsically water-soluble materials such as Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) significant challenges achieving selective dissolution developing process. In this paper, we propose a method direct patterning PEDOT:PSS water by introducing an amphiphilic Poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEO-PPO-PEO, P123) block copolymer film. addition enhances stretchability composite film reduces hydrophilicity surface, allowing absorption only after UV exposure through photoinitiated reaction with benzophenone. We apply technique fabricate tactile wearable biosensors, both which benefit from mechanical transparency PEDOT:PSS. Our represents promising solution photopatterning hydrophilic materials, potential wider applications fabrication.

Recent advances in numerous biological applications have increased the accuracy of monitoring level biologically significant analytes human body to manage personal nutrition and physiological conditions. However, despite promising reports about costly wearable devices with high sensing performance, there has been a growing demand for inexpensive sensors that can quickly detect molecules. Herein, we present highly sensitive biosensors based on organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), which are types semiconductor-based operate consistently at low operating voltages aqueous solutions. Instead gold or platinum electrode used current devices, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was as both channel gate electrodes OECT. Additionally, overcome patterning resolution limitations conventional solution processing, confirmed irradiation high-power IR laser (λ = 1064 nm) onto coated PEDOT:PSS film able produce spatially resolvable micropatterns digital-printing manner. The proposed technique exhibits suitability fabrication all-PEDOT:PSS OECT devices. device geometry optimized by fine-tuning area channel-to-gate distance. Consequently, sensor detecting ascorbic acid (vitamin C) concentrations an electrolyte exhibited best sensitivity 125 μA dec–1 limit detection 1.3 μM, is nearly 2 orders magnitude higher than previous findings. Subsequently, all-plastic flexible epidermal biosensor established transferring patterned from glass substrate PET substrate, taking full advantage flexibility PEDOT:PSS. prepared cost-effective suitable single-use because its acceptable performance reliable signal vitamin C. successfully obtained temporal profile C sweat volunteer after consumption drinks. We believe fabricated using accurate process versatile potential low-cost emerging bioelectronic applications.
