Abstract

In the last decades, ionic polymers have been used as key materials for energy applications as solid polymer electrolytes, binders and ionomers in devices such as batteries, electrolyzers and fuel cells. More recently, ionic polymers are becoming enabling materials also in bioelectronics for new biomedical technologies. This review aims to collect and discuss the recent advances in polymer design, synthesis and characterization of ionic polymers for bioelectronic devices. The review includes the ionic polymer families that are being developed, such as poly(ionic liquid)s and poly(eutectic solvents), as well as ionic gel families such as hydrogels, ionogels and eutectogels. Polymers and gels from purely ionic conductors to mixed ionic electronic conducting polymers will be discussed. We delve into structure-ion conductivity relationships and outline current and possible applications of such novel conductive materials. These ionic polymers are central to the development of fundamental bioelectronic devices such as organic electrochemical transistors, amperometric detectors, controlled-release devices, and even disruptive neuromorphic computing.

用于生物电子学的离子聚合物

在过去的几十年里，离子聚合物作为固体聚合物电解质、粘合剂和离子聚合物在电池、电解槽和燃料电池等设备中被用作能源应用的关键材料。最近，离子聚合物也成为生物电子学中用于新生物医学技术的使能材料。本文综述了近年来用于生物电子器件的离子聚合物的设计、合成和表征方面的研究进展。综述了目前正在发展的离子聚合物家族，如聚（离子液体）和聚（共晶溶剂），以及离子凝胶家族，如水凝胶、离子凝胶和共凝胶。将讨论从纯离子导体到混合离子电子导电聚合物的聚合物和凝胶。我们深入研究了结构-离子电导率关系，并概述了这种新型导电材料的当前和可能的应用。这些离子聚合物是基础生物电子器件发展的核心，如有机电化学晶体管、安培检测器、控制释放装置，甚至是破坏性神经形态计算。
