Breathable Wearable Smartsensors Deriving from Interface Self-Assembled Film for Tracking l-Cysteine.

ABSTRACT

The advent of wearable sensors heralds a transformation in the continuous, noninvasive analysis of biomarkers critical for disease diagnosis and fitness management. Yet, their advancement is hindered by the functional challenges affiliated with their active sensing analysis layer. Predominantly due to suboptimal intrinsic material properties and inconsistent dispersion leading to aggregation, thus compromising sensor repeatability and performance. Herein, an innovative approach to the functionalization of wearable electrochemical sensors was introduced, specifically addressing these limitations. The method involves a proton-induced self-assembly technique at the organic-water (O/W) interface, facilitating the generation of biomarker-responsive films. This research offers flexible, breathable sensor capable of real-time precision tracking l-cysteine (l-Cys) precision tracking. Utilizing an activation mechanism for Prussian blue nanoparticles by hydrogen peroxide, the catalytic core exhibits a specific response to l-Cys. The implications of this study refine the fabrication of film-based analysis electrodes for wearable sensing applications and the broader utilization of two-dimensional materials in functional-specific response films. Findings illuminate the feasibility of this novel strategy for precise biomarker tracking and extend to pave the way for constructing high-performance electrocatalytic analytical interfaces.
