Flexible Electrodes News Today

2D nanomaterials play a critical role in realizing high-performance flexible electrodes for wearable energy storge devices, owing to their merits of large surface area, high conductivity and high strength. The electrode is a complex system and the performance is determined by multiple and interrelated factors including the intrinsic properties of materials and the structures at different scales from macroscale to atomic scale. Multiscale design strategies have been developed to engineer the stru...

Portable, wearable and implantable medical devices that chronically monitor or communicate with the nervous system are indispensable in healthcare. Currently the development of these versatile devices is limited by two bottlenecks: functional microelectrodes to communicate with central and peripheral nervous systems and the power sources to drive the devices. The microelectrode needs to be flexible, capable of delivering high charge capacity and inducing minimal immune rejection response. In add...
