Research progress of fibre-based organic electrochemical transistors

Abstract

<p>Organic electrochemical transistors are flexible in design with characteristics such as miniaturisation, biocompatibility and amplification and are one of the rapidly developing research topics in recent years. As an excellent flexible material, fibre has unparalleled advantages in weaving and compatibility with the human body. Combining fibres with organic electrochemical transistors is a promising research direction that has the high sensitivity of organic electrochemical transistor testing and the human body compatibility and flexibility of wearable electronic products. This paper introduces the relevant operating principles, working modes and commonly used channel materials of organic electrochemical transistors. Based on the basic device structure of organic electrochemical transistors, the development and changes of organic electrochemical transistors in recent years are discussed, and the research results of fibre-based electrochemical transistors by researchers focusing on the application of fibre-based organic electrochemical transistors in chemical sensing, bio-sensing and other application explorations are summarized. Finally, this paper visioned the future development trend of fibre-based organic electrochemical transistors.</p>
