Abstract This study presents a semiconducting optoelectronic system for light‐controlled non‐genetic neuronal stimulation using visible light. The architecture is entirely wireless, comprising thin film of nitrogen‐doped ultrananocrystalline diamond directly grown on silicon substrate. When immersed in physiological medium and subjected to pulsed illumination the (595 nm) or near‐infrared wavelength (808 range, charge accumulation at device‐medium interface induces transient ionic...
Durable and safe energy storage is required for the next generation of miniature bioelectronic devices, in which aqueous electrolytes are preferred due to advantages safety, low cost, high conductivity. While rechargeable batteries among primary choices with relatively power requirements, their lifetime generally limited a few thousand charging/discharging cycles as electrode material can degrade electrochemical reactions. Electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) possess increased cycling...
This study demonstrates the control of neuronal survival and development using nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (N-UNCD). We highlight role N-UNCD in regulating activity via near-infrared illumination, demonstrating generation stable photocurrents that enhance neurite outgrowth foster a more active, synchronized network. Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing reveals substrates improve cellular–substrate interaction by upregulating extracellular matrix gap junction-related genes. Our...
In recent years, various forms of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) have emerged as an attractive group diamond/graphite mixed-phase materials for a range applications from electron emission sources to electrodes neural interfacing. To tailor their properties different uses, NCD surfaces can be terminated with chemical functionalities, in particular hydrogen and oxygen, which shift the band edge positions affinity values. While chemically single crystal are well understood, same is not true...
Semiconducting electrodes are increasingly utilised for neural interfacing applications, such as recording, stimulation, and photomodulation. To characterize the performance of these electrodes, photoelectrochemical analysis is often undertaken in biologically relevant electrolytes. These include electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), photomodulation photocurrent (PC) measurements. From measurements, it possible to deduce key properties semiconductor surfaces,...
The ability to form diamond electrodes on insulating polycrystalline substrates using single-step laser patterning, and the use of as a substrate that supports adhesion proliferation human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) is demonstrated.
