| contents | In situ polymerization of conductive polymers (CPs) represents a transformative approach in bioelectronics, by enabling the controlled growth of electrically active materials right at the tissue or device surface to create seamless biotic-abiotic interfaces. Traditional CP deposition techniques often use high anodic potentials, non-physiological electrolytes, or strong oxidants, making them harmful to adjacent tissues. A possible solution is enzymatic polymerization which operates under milder conditions, but it is limited by the stability and activity window of the enzyme catalysts, low throughput, and challenges in spatially confining polymer growth. To resolve these issues, here we developed one-dimensional porous Au-coated Ag nanowires with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-like catalytic properties, thereby for the first time enabling mild in situ enzyme-free polymerization of conductive polymers near neutral pH. The enzyme-free polymerization is demonstrated both in aqueous dispersions at pH=6 and in situ onto porous Au coated Ag nanowire based stretchable electrodes. Following enzyme-free catalytic polymerization, the electrically conducting polymer coating on the electrode greatly improves the impedance and achieves an impedance of 2.6 kOhm at 1 kHz for 50x50 um large electrodes. |
