Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) using rumen bacteria have been proposed as a power source for running devices inside cattle. In this study, we explored the key parameters of the conventional bamboo charcoal electrode in an attempt to improve the amount of electrical power generated by the microbial fuel cell. We evaluated the effects of the electrode’s surface area, thickness, and rumen content on power generation and determined that only the electrode’s surface area affects power generation levels. Furthermore, our observations and bacterial count on the electrode revealed that rumen bacteria concentrated on the surface of the bamboo charcoal electrode and did not penetrate the interior, explaining why only the electrode’s surface area affected power generation levels. A Copper (Cu) plate and Cu paper electrodes were also used to evaluate the effect of different electrodes on measuring the rumen bacteria MFC’s power potential, which had a temporarily higher maximum power point (MPP) compared to the bamboo charcoal electrode. However, the open circuit voltage and MPP decreased significantly over time due to the corrosion of the Cu electrodes. The MPP for the Cu plate electrode was 775 mW/m2 and the MPP for the Cu paper electrode was 1240 mW/m2, while the MPP for bamboo charcoal electrodes was only 18.7 mW/m2. In the future, rumen bacteria MFCs are expected to be used as the power supply of rumen sensors.

AbstractThe rigid surface of the conventional PCB-based capacitive electrode produces an undefined distance between the skin and the electrode surface. Therefore, the capacitance introduced by them is uncertain and can vary from electrode to electrode due to their different positions on the scalp. However, textile electrodes which use conductive fabric as electrode surfaces, are bendable over the scalp. Therefore, it provides a certain value of the capacitance which is predictable and calculable accurately if the effective distance to the scalp surface can be determined. In this paper noise characteristics of textile electrodes with different fabric sizes as electrode’s surface and capacity calculations related to each size are presented to determine the effective distances for each electrode size.

Full textAbstract:
In electrical discharge machining (EDM), the tool electrode is one of the substantial components of the system, and it ensures the success or failure of the EDM process. The electrode’s role is to conduct electrical charges and erode the workpiece to the desired shape. Different electrode materials have different impacts on machining. Certain electrode materials remove metal quickly but wear out rapidly, while others degrade slowly but the material removal is too slow. The choice of the electrode has an influence on both the mechanical properties, such as metal removal rate (MRR), wear rate, surface finish, surface modification and machinability, and the electrical properties, such as sparking initiation, time lag, gap contamination and process stability. There are factors to consider when fabricating an electrode, which include the type of workpiece materials, the metallurgical alloying of the materials, the choice of fabrication techniques, the intended use of the electrode, and material cost. Considerable challenges in EDM electrode fabrication have been reported, which include excessive tool wear for green compact electrodes, high toughness for sintered electrodes, and poor rigidity for additively manufactured electrodes. To address these issues, researchers have explored different manufacturing methods, such as casting, conventional machining, electrodeposition, powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing. In this paper, the various techniques attempted and adopted in EDM electrode manufacturing are analyzed and discussed. This paper also sought to give insight into EDM, its various forms, the dielectric fluid’s properties, EDM electrode’s size and shape, the effects of the electrode on the EDM process, material removal, electrode wear, present technologies for electrode fabrication, and the limitations of these technologies. Finally, directions for future research are highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
Under the given initial discharge energy level, altering the electrode structural parameters of the Ablative Pulse Plasma Thruster (APPT) is an effective way to improve the performance of the thruster. The purpose of this study is to reveal the underlying mechanism of the effect of changing the electrode structure parameters on the performance of the APPT system and to offer targeted support for researchers to optimize the design of APPT structure. With rectangular and tongue-shaped electrode configurations at various electrode flare angles, electrode lengths, and electrode spacings, the discharge characteristics, propellant ablation characteristics, and thruster performance of the APPT are systematically investigated. The underlying mechanism of how changing the electrode’s configuration parameter affects the performance of the thruster is identified by fitting and predicting the parameters of the APPT discharge circuit and system performance under various operating conditions. The results show that using tongue-shaped electrodes is more effective than using rectangular electrodes in terms of enhancing the inductive gradient of the electrodes, transferring more energy to the discharge channel, and increasing the squared integral value of the discharge current. As a result, the tongue-shaped electrode APPT performs better than the APPT with rectangular electrodes, as a consequence. The thruster’s performance can be enhanced for the same electrode configuration by increasing the electrode flare angle within a certain angle range; however, the improvement is extremely limited. Additionally, in the case of small electrode spacing, increasing the electrode flare angle can enhance the thruster’s performance more effectively.

Full textAbstract:
Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is an emerging method for developing micro-channels in conductive or non-conductive materials. In order to machine the materials, it uses a combination of chemical and thermal energy. The tool electrode’s arrangement is crucial for channeling these energies from the tool electrode to the work material. As a consequence, tool electrode optimization and analysis are crucial for efficiently utilizing energies during ECDM and ensuring machining accuracy. The main motive of this study is to experimentally investigate the influence of different electrode materials, namely titanium alloy (TC4), stainless steel (SS304), brass, and copper–tungsten (CuW) alloys (W70Cu30, W80Cu20, W90Cu10), on electrodes’ electrical properties, and to select an appropriate electrode in the ECDM process. The material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear ratio (EWR), overcut (OC), and surface defects are the measurements considered. The electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of electrodes have been identified as analytical issues for optimal machining efficiency. Moreover, electrical conductivity has been shown to influence the MRR, whereas thermal conductivity has a greater impact on the EWR, as characterized by TC4, SS304, brass, and W80Cu20 electrodes. After that, comparison experiments with three CuW electrodes (W70Cu30, W80Cu20, and W90Cu10) are carried out, with the W70Cu30 electrode appearing to be the best in terms of the ECDM process. After reviewing the research outcomes, it was determined that the W70Cu30 electrode fits best in the ECDM process, with a 70 μg/s MRR, 8.1% EWR, and 0.05 mm OC. Therefore, the W70Cu30 electrode is discovered to have the best operational efficiency and productivity with performance measures in ECDM out of the six electrodes.

Full textAbstract:
This work investigates the microstructure and mechanical properties of 2507 super duplex stainless steel and API X70 high strength low alloy steel weld joint. This joint finds application in offshore hydrocarbon drilling riser and oil–gas pipelines. Coated shielded metal arc welding electrodes have been designed and extruded on 309L filler and their performance compared with a commercial austenitic electrode E309L. Filler 309L solidifies in ferrite-austenite (F-A) mode with a resultant microstructure comprising skeletal ferrites with austenite distributed in the interdendritic region. Results of tensile and impact tests indicate that weld fabricated with laboratory-developed electrodes has higher ductility and impact energy than the commercial electrode. The tensile strength and weld hardness of commercial electrodes are superior. The laboratory-made electrode’s microhardness is lower than the commercial electrodes, making the former less prone to failure. An alternative welding electrode coating composition has been suggested through this work and found to be performing satisfactorily and comparable to the commercially available electrodes.

Full textAbstract:
A ruthenium oxide (RuOx) electrode was used to monitor contractile events of human pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) through electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Using RuOx electrodes presents an advantage over standard thin film Pt electrodes because the RuOx electrodes can also be used as electrochemical sensor for pH, O2, and nitric oxide, providing multisensory functionality with the same electrode. First, the EIS signal was validated in an optically transparent well-plate setup using Pt wire electrodes. This way, visual data could be recorded simultaneously. Frequency analyses of both EIS and the visual data revealed almost identical frequency components. This suggests both the EIS and visual data captured the similar events of the beating of (an area of) hPSC-CMs. Similar EIS measurement was then performed using the RuOx electrode, which yielded comparable signal and periodicity. This mode of operation adds to the versatility of the RuOx electrode’s use in in vitro studies.

In the electroplating and water treatment fields, as the demand and expectation on an electrode with high productivity and high efficiency are getting increased, various electrodes(DSE) with higher reactivity and durability are being developed. This study is intended to analyze the characteristics of the produced electrodes and to establish the optimum manufacturing conditions for electrode being used that we mentioned. For improving the durability, the changes of reactivity and corrosion resistance are observed as adding Tantalum and/or another components (hereafter stated as “α”) and surface treatment of substrate(Ti). As a result, increasing the amount of Iridium, the reactivity of electrode increased, and increasing amount of Tantalum, the durability of electrode increased. And thus, it is found out that Iridium and Tantalum have the opposite role each on the electrode’s reactivity and durability. And adding α and surface treatment substrate, an electrode with excellent reactivity and durability and low oxygen evolution can be manufactured. In the water treatment field like sterilizing in a swimming pool and power-plant cooling water, the high efficiency of sodium-hypochlorite generation is surely guaranteed.

Full textAbstract:
Flow battery technologies are promising solutions to the need for electricity storage driven by the increasing demand for energy supply at the same time as the electricity grid becomes more and more dependent on renewable sources such as solar, wind and ocean energy. Vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are perhaps the most promising of these technologies and a growing number of commercial systems are in operation worldwide. The energy efficiency of vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) largely depends upon the performance of the electrodes. Poor electrode kinetics cause large overpotentials, which reduce the voltage efficiency. They can also lead to side reactions, such as hydrogen evolution at the negative electrode and oxidation of the positive electrode, which reduce the coulombic efficiency and the overall performance and durability. There is considerable variation in the data regarding the kinetics of vanadium redox reactions at carbon electrodes. We have previously reported that cathodic treatment enhances the kinetics of the positive (VIV-VV) electrode in VFBs but inhibits the kinetics of the negative (VII-VIII) electrode, while anodic treatment inhibits the kinetics of the positive electrode but enhances the kinetics of the negative electrode1-3. We also showed that the activity of carbon-based material is strongly dependent on the surface history, in particular the most positive and the most negative potential used to treat an electrode4. In this presentation we will further investigate the effect of electrochemical treatment of the carbon surface and show the relationship between the observed pseudo-capacitive behavior and the kinetics of the different vanadium redox couples.

Full textAbstract:
The application of direct current (DC) produces a rapid and reversible nerve conduction block. However, prolonged injection of charge through a smooth platinum electrode has been found to cause damage to nervous tissue. This damage can be mitigated by incorporating high-capacitance materials (HCM) (e.g., activated carbon or platinum black) into electrode designs. HCMs increase the storage charge capacity (i.e., “Q value”) of capacitive devices. However, consecutive use of these HCM electrodes degrades their surface. This paper evaluates activated carbon and platinum black (PtB) electrode designs in vitro to determine the design parameters which improve surface stability of the HCMs. Electrode designs with activated carbon and PtB concentrations were stressed using soak, bend and vibration testing to simulate destructive in vivo environments. A Q value decrease represented the decreased stability of the electrode–HCM interface. Soak test results supported the long-term Q value stabilization (mean = 44.3 days) of HCM electrodes, and both HCMs displayed unique Q value changes in response to soaking. HCM material choices, Carbon Ink volume, and application of Nafion™ affected an electrode’s ability to resist Q value degradation. These results will contribute to future developments of HCM electrodes designed for extended DC application for in vivo nerve conduction block.

Flow capacitive deionization is a water desalination technique that uses liquid carbon-based electrodes to recover fresh water from brackish or seawater. This is a potential second-generation water desalination process, however it is limited by parameters such as feed electrode conductivity, interfacial resistance, viscosity, and so on. In this study, titanium oxide nanofibers (TiO2NF) were manufactured using an electrospinning process and then blended with commercial activated carbon (AC) to create a well distributed flow electrode in this study. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to characterize the morphology, crystal structure, and chemical moieties of the as-synthesized composites. Notably, the flow electrode containing 1 wt.% TiO2NF (ACTiO2NF 1 wt.%) had the highest capacitance and the best salt removal rate (0.033 mg/min·cm2) of all the composites. The improvement in cell performance at this ratio indicates that the nanofibers are uniformly distributed over the electrode’s surface, preventing electrode passivation, and nanofiber agglomeration, which could impede ion flow to the electrode’s pores. This research suggests that the physical mixture could be used as a flow electrode in capacitive deionization.

In this paper, the ohmic properties of Ti, Al, and Ti-Au composite electrodes on n-type (111) CdZnTe crystal deposited by vacuum evaporation method were first analyzed, and then the rapid annealing of Ti-Au electrode under Ar atmosphere with different temperature and time was explored. The ohmic property and barrier height were evaluated by current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance-voltage (C–V) measurements, and the adhesion strength of various electrodess to CdZnTe was compared. The Ti-Au electrode on CdZnTe showed the lowest leakage current and barrier height, and the highest adhesion strength among the three kinds of electrodes on (111) CdZnTe crystals. The rapid annealing of Ti-Au electrode under Ar atmosphere was proved to improve its ohmic property and adhesion strength, and the optimal annealing temperature and time were found to be 423 K and 6 min, respectively. The barrier height of the Ti-Au/CdZnTe electrode is 0.801 eV through rapid annealing for 6 min at 423 K annealing temperature, and the adhesion is 1225 MPa, which increases by 50% compared with that without rapid annealing.

Advancements in brain–machine interfaces and neurological treatments urgently require the development of improved brain electrodes applied for long-term implantation, where traditional and polymer options face challenges like size, tissue damage, and signal quality. Carbon nanotubes are emerging as a promising alternative, combining excellent electronic properties and biocompatibility, which ensure better neuron coupling and stable signal acquisition. In this study, a new flexible brain electrode array based on 99.99% purity of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was developed, which has 30 um × 40 um size, about 5.1 kΩ impedance, and 14.01 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The long-term implantation experiment in vivo in mice shows the proposed brain electrode can maintain stable LFP signal acquisition over 12 weeks while still achieving an SNR of 3.52 dB. The histological analysis results show that SWCNT-based brain electrodes induced minimal tissue damage and showed significantly reduced glial cell responses compared to platinum wire electrodes. Long-term stability comes from SWCNT’s biocompatibility and chemical inertness, the electrode’s flexible and fine structure. Furthermore, the new brain electrode array can function effectively during 7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging, enabling the collection of local field potential and even epileptic discharges during the magnetic scan. This study provides a comprehensive study of carbon nanotubes as invasive brain electrodes, providing a new path to address the challenge of long-term brain electrode implantation.

Abstract Due to the direct contact between electrode and scalp, dry EEG electrodes are exposed to increased mechanical wear compared to conventional gel-based electrodes. However, state-of-the-art commercial cap systems commonly use permanently fixated electrodes which can lead to downtime of the EEG cap during professional repair and replacement as well as reduced overall lifetime. An easily replaceable EEG electrode would furthermore improve hygiene, especially for newborn and infant applications. We propose a novel replaceable electrode system, consisting of an electrode holder, a snap top, a contact ring fixated inside the electrode holder, and a replaceable electrode. The production process consists of 3D printing, silicone molding, resin casting, and electroless plating. The replaceable electrode system is integrated into a multichannel EEG cap system. A verification study is conducted with 30 volunteers. The operators experienced that the new electrode holder eases adjustment of the electrode to have proper contact with the scalp. During the study, defective electrodes can be replaced without a soldering process. Furthermore, all electrodes stayed in the holder and did not fall off the cap for the whole session. In conclusion, the novel replaceable electrode system is suitable for EEG measurements.

Voltammetry is the general term for all techniques in which the current is measured as a function of electrode potential. The voltammetric techniques can be applied for the quantitative analysis of inorganic and organic species and are best suited for substances which can be either oxidized or reduced on electrodes. These techniques are characterized by high sensitivity which results in the possibility of performing determinations at a low concentration level. In voltammetry, many different types of working electrodes are applied. One of the important groups are solid electrodes, among which carbon electrodes play an important role. They represent a good alternative to mercury electrodes, however, surface preparation before the usage is required. In this work anethole determination will be presented using three types of carbon electrodes: glassy carbon electrode, boron doped diamond electrode and carbon paste electrode. Optimization process will be also described.

Abstract Modeling of carbon nanoparticle synthesis using the arc discharge method was created by simulation. In this research, the electrode shapes and gaps between them are varied. The electrode’s shape was modeled as pointy, blunt, and square, while the electrode’s gap was modeled as modified at 0.23 mm, 0.38 mm, and 0.57 mm. This research aims to analyze forms of distribution and generated nanoparticles by demonstrating how the difference in electrode design obtains the maximum value of electron density, electron temperature, and electric potential since the discharge process. The simulation results show that the variation in shape and gap between the electrodes affects the maximum value obtained.

As the demand for Li-ion batteries continues to grow, accelerating their development is crucial. An essential aspect of enhancing battery performance involves obtaining a deeper understanding of fundamental electrochemical processes. This understanding can be achieved by applying advanced measurement techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), a promising method for investigating batteries, providing insights into reactions, material properties, and interphases.1 However, when EIS is conducted on a full cell, the resulting spectra combine information from both electrodes, limiting the characterization of each electrode.2 To deconvolute the influence of the electrodes, a three-electrode setup can be used. This setup introduces a reference electrode (RE) which allows deconvolution of the full cell impedance into the impedance of the separate electrodes. The choice and placement of the RE significantly impact impedance spectra.3 Ideally, the RE should maintain a stable potential, allow ion flow, and not obstruct any part of the other electrodes.4 Micro-REs are often favored for EIS due to these considerations. Additionally, the RE placement can distort impedance spectra if positioned in a geometrically or electrically asymmetric region of the cell.3 Several cell designs have been proposed for three-electrode configurations.4 An innovative approach incorporates a gold micro-RE into a Swagelok T-cell setup.5 This work involves a 50 µm thick insulated gold wire sandwiched between two separators which could be lithiated to form a gold-Li alloy at its tip. This lithiated tip shows a stable potential for extended periods, resulting in reliable impedance spectra of the electrodes. While the proposed setup has been instrumental in facilitating valuable research, the cell format has room for improvement. Even though effective, Swagelok T-cells come with high costs and require intricate assembly. Furthermore, disassembly, cleaning, and drying of cell components for re-use substantially prolong the preparation time. Other studies have explored the coin cell format for the three-electrode setup4, offering several advantages, including simplified and rapid assembly procedures. Moreover, the disposable nature of this cell format significantly reduces unit costs and shortens preparation times. Consequently, some researchers have sought to leverage these benefits by incorporating the RE through a coaxial configuration within a hole in the electrodes.4 However, these adaptations often necessitate substantial modifications to cell components and electrodes and are not well-suited for reliable impedance measurements. In some other approaches that involve placing the RE between separators and electrodes4, achieving consistent cell assembly appears to be a persistent challenge, and cell sealing issues may arise in these setups as well. In this work, we have devised a reliable, cost-efficient approach for three-electrode coin cell construction that employs common coin cell parts. Our approach eliminates the need for specialized tools, relying instead on conventional laboratory-scale equipment and accessible commercial materials. In this configuration, as depicted in the inset of Fig.1, the assembly process is carefully adapted so that the micro-RE wire remains straight and lies as flat as possible throughout the cell, positioned between the electrodes and separators. The sealing in our setup is ensured with a special resin compatible with the micro-RE and the components inside the cell, effectively preventing the penetration of moisture and/or air into the cell. We have validated the effectiveness of this sealing method by electrochemical tests that are sensitive to the water and oxygen content within the cell (see Fig. 1). Here, we present comprehensive details about the assembly modifications and custom-designed cell holder. This study also includes examples of measurement results, especially impedance spectra. The proposed setup holds significant promise for various applications in research laboratories and industrial settings, enabling fast, reliable, and cost-efficient setup for impedance characterization tests.

EEG, which can provide brain alteration information via recording the electrical activity of neurons in the cerebral cortex, has been widely used in neurophysiology. However, conventional wet electrodes in EEG monitoring typically suffer from inherent limitations, including the requirement of skin pretreatment, the risk of superficial skin infections, and signal performance deterioration that may occur over time due to the air drying of the conductive gel. Although the emergence of dry electrodes has overcome these shortcomings, their electrode–skin contact impedance is significantly high and unstable, especially in hair-covered areas. To address the above problems, an active claw-shaped dry electrode is designed, moving from electrode morphological design, slurry preparation, and coating to active electrode circuit design. The active claw-shaped dry electrode, which consists of a claw-shaped electrode and active electrode circuit, is dedicated to offering a flexible solution for elevating electrode fittings on the scalp in hair-covered areas, reducing electrode–skin contact impedance and thus improving the quality of the acquired EEG signal. The performance of the proposed electrodes was verified by impedance, active electrode circuit, eyes open-closed, steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP), and anti-interference tests, based on EEG signal acquisition. Experimental results show that the proposed claw-shaped electrodes (without active circuit) can offer a better fit between the scalp and electrodes, with a low electrode–skin contact impedance (18.62 KΩ@1 Hz in the hairless region and 122.15 KΩ@1 Hz in the hair-covered region). In addition, with the active circuit, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the acquiring EEG signal was improved and power frequency interference was restrained, therefore, the proposed electrodes can yield an EEG signal quality comparable to wet electrodes.

In order to develop long-lifetime neural electrodes, the insertion tissue injury caused by two optimized neural electrode (convex streamline electrode and vibration attenuation electrode) models were evaluated compared with a reference electrode. Based on the experimental evaluation system for testing tissue injury, the effects of insertion speeds on tissue injury of the two optimized electrodes with different insertion depths were studied. The maximum tissue strain caused by the two optimized neural electrodes firstly increased and then decreased with the increase of insertion speed at the depths of 3 mm and 4.5 mm. The insertion forces caused by vibration attenuation electrode are steady with the change of insertion speed. The convex streamline neural electrode caused less tissue injury compared with the other two electrodes. The higher or lower insertion speed causes smaller tissue strain for the two optimized electrodes, which is conductive to set implantation parameters to minimize tissue injury.

Cochlear implants are neural implant devices that aim to restore hearing in patients with severe sensorineural hearing impairment. Here, the main goal is to successfully place the electrode array in the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerves through bypassing damaged hair cells. Several electrode and electrode array parameters affect the success of this technique, but, undoubtedly, the most important one is related to electrodes, which are used for nerve stimulation. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive resource on the electrodes currently being used in cochlear implant devices. Electrode materials, shape, and the effect of spacing between electrodes on the stimulation, stiffness, and flexibility of electrode-carrying arrays are discussed. The use of sensors and the electrical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties of electrode arrays are examined. A large library of preferred electrodes is reviewed, and recent progress in electrode design parameters is analyzed. Finally, the limitations and challenges of the current technology are discussed along with a proposal of future directions in the field.

Furthermore, the effects of five vital process parameters, applied voltage, electrolyte type, electrode shape and diameter, electrode feed rate on micro-seams machining accuracy and process stability were evaluated. The experimental results show that: Wire electrodes machining accuracy is higher than that of sheet electrode. With the wire electrodes diameter decreased from 0.2mm to 0.06mm, micro-seam width is reduced by 36.55%. With the wire electrode feed rate increased from 0.2mm/min to 0.6mmm/min, micro-seam width is reduced by 44.2%. Sheet electrodes machining stability is better than that of wire electrode. The number of machining stability of sheet electrode is 25% higher than that of wire electrode in the condition of 8V applied voltage.

In the process of carbon nanotube assembly by dielectrophoresis, the geometry and spacing of electrodes are significantly affecting the assembly precision. In the simulation process, we showed the geometrical shape of conical, round and rectangular electrode and compared the electric field distribution with these electrodes. Compared with single electrode pairs, comb electrodes can achieve high-yield manipulation. Simulation results show that when the distance between adjacent electrode pairs is larger than twice electrode width, it will avoid electric field superimposition. A method of using floating metal posts within the electrode gap can realize precise positioning of assembled carbon nanotubes.

Direct-current resistivity surveys usually are performed using steel rods of finite extent and grounding resistance. However, in modeling, electrodes are commonly treated as ideal point sources. We present an approach for numerical computation applying the complete electrode model (CEM), which is known from medical imaging. The electrode surface was discretized, and the partial-differential equations were extended by additional relations incorporating a contact impedance and a condition for the current flow through the electrode surface. We verified the modeling of the electrical potential using an analytical solution for a perfectly coupled half-ellipsoid current source. To quantify the influence of a finite electrode, we computed the electrode effect as the ratio between CEM and point-source solution and investigated its dependence on geometry and contact impedance. Surface measurements using rods of typical spatial extent showed electrode effects on the order of the measuring accuracy for an electrode length/spacing ratio lower than 0.2. However, the effects are more significant for closed geometries such as experimental tanks. A comparison with a point approximation for finite electrodes using point-source locations along the electrode axis showed the best agreement, with points at about 60% of the electrode extension. The contact impedance played a minor role for four-point measurements, contributing only a few percent to the electrode effect. In addition to penetrating electrodes, we investigated surface electrodes with galvanic or capacitive coupling, showing electrode effects on the same order as for penetrating electrodes. An inhomogeneous resistivity distribution clearly increased the size of the effects. We also investigate the use of CEM to simulate current injected through steel-cased boreholes. Finally, we applied the approach with buried ring electrodes to calculate effects caused mainly by geometric disturbances from the borehole.

The electrochemical conversion process of CO2 into methanol using Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) has been done. The MEA consists of a Pt/C catalyst in the cathode and a Cu2O ZnO/C catalyst in the anode. The electrodes were made using the spraying method and then characterized using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) methods to determine the ECSA (Electrochemical Surface Area) and electrical conductivity values. Besides that, also X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electrode Microscopy – Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX) analysis was to determine the crystal and morphological structure. The voltammogram from CV analysis indicated that the ECSA value on the Pt/C electrode was 7.2 m2/g and the Cu2O-ZnO/C electrodes as 0.69 m2/g. The electrode’s electrical conductivity value with Pt/C catalyst was 1.15 x 10−3 S/cm, and the electrode with Cu2O-ZnO/C catalyst was 0.80 x 10−3 S/cm. The results of the XRD analysis confirmed the presence of Cu2O and ZnO on the Cu2O-ZnO/C electrode and Pt on the Pt/C electrode. Meanwhile, the results of the SEM-EDX analysis showed that the Pt/C catalyst was spread more evenly with a larger percentage than Cu2O and ZnO. The result of the conversion of CO2 to methanol was measured using a methanol analyzer with variations in KHCO3 electrolyte concentration, variation of temperature operation, and variation of time operation. The best methanol concentrations after distillation process were 79.06 w/v %, with 1 M KHCO3, at room temperature and 2 hours operation.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode, as a sensor, is an important part of the wearable ECG monitoring device. Natural leather is rarely used as the electrode substrate. In this paper, wearable flexible silver electrodes based on cowhide were prepared by sputtering and brush-painting. A signal generator, oscilloscope, impedance test instrument, and ECG monitor were used to build the test platform evaluating the performance of electrodes with six subjects. The lossless waveform transmission can be achieved with our electrodes. Therefore, the Pearson’s correlation coefficient calculated with input waveform and output waveform of the electrodes based on the top grain layer (GLE) and the split layer (SLE) of cowhide were 0.997 and 0.998 at 0.1 Hz respectively. The skin electrode impedance (Z) was tested, and the parameters of the equivalent circuit model of the skin electrode interface were calculated by a fitting method, indicating that the Z of the prepared electrodes was comparable with the standard gel electrode when the skin is moist enough. The signal-to-noise ratio of the ECG of the GLE and the SLE were 1.148 and 1.205 times that of the standard electrode in the standing posture, which meant the ECG measured by our electrodes was basically consistent with that measured by the standard electrode.

BACKGROUND: The use of a specific electrode type in laryngeal electromyography has not been standardized. Laryngeal electromyography is usually performed with hooked-wire electrodes or concentric needle electrodes. Hooked-wire electrodes have the advantage of allowing laryngeal movement with ease and comfort, whereas the concentric needle electrodes have benefits from a technical aspect and may be advanced, withdrawn, or redirected during attempts to appropriately place the electrode. OBJECTIVES: This study examines whether hooked-wire electrodes permit more stable recordings than standard concentric needle electrodes at rest and after large-scale movements of the larynx and surrounding structures. A histologic comparison of tissue injury resulting from placement and removal of the two electrode types is also made by evaluation of the vocal folds. METHODS: Electrodes were percutaneously placed into the thyroarytenoid muscles of 10 adult canines. Amplitude of electromyographic activity was measured and compared during vagal stimulation before and after large-scale laryngeal movements. Signal consistency over time was examined. Animals were killed and vocal fold injury was graded and compared histologically. RESULTS: Waveform morphology did not consistently differ between electrode types. The variability of electromyographic amplitude was greater for the hooked-wire electrode ( p < 0.05), whereas the mean amplitude measures before and after large-scale laryngeal movements did not differ ( p > 0.05). Inflammatory responses and hematoma formation were also similar. CONCLUSIONS: Waveform morphology of electromyographic signals registered from both electrode types show similar complex action potentials. There is no difference between the hooked-wire electrode and the concentric needle electrode in terms of electrode stability or vocal fold injury in the thyroarytenoid muscle after large-scale laryngeal movements.

Full textAbstract:
Proton-conducting ceramic fuel cell (PCFCs) is one type of solid oxide fuel cell using a solid-state proton-conductor, typically BaZrO3-based and BaCeO3-based ceramics, as an electrolyte. PCFC is expected to operate at intermediate temperatures with high energy conversion efficiency. One of technological challenges for realization of PCFC is the development of high performace cathode. Cathodic reaction in PCFC is electrochemical reduction of oxygen gas foriming water vapor. Since protons, electrons, and oxygen gas molcules exist in the electrolyte, electrode and gas phase, respectively, the electrode reaciton takes place at triple phase boundaries (TPBs) in principle. On the other hand, the reaction site can be expanded from TPBs to double phase boundaries (DPBs), when a mixed ionic-electronic conductor (MIEC) is used. In such an MIEC electrode, the dominant reaction sites are believed to be DPBs because of their large area. So far, some oxides are reported to exhibit mixed protonic-electronic conductor, but no clear experimental evidences have been provided to show how significantly TPB/DPB reactions contribute to the total reaction. Recently we proposed new and original model electrodes, which can be schematically illustrated in Fig. 1, to investigate a gas reaction on a solid electrolyte. These so-called "patterned thin film electrodes" are kinds of thin film electrodes. However, in contrast to a conventional thin film electrode, the electrode/electrolyte contact area was limitted by inserting a slitted insulating layer between the electrode and the electrolyte, and threfore our model electrodes can behave as a columar electrode. In the electrode of Fig. 1(a), the electrode reaction proceeds only through DPBs, and the reaction current gradually decreased with increasing the distance from the electrode/electrolyte interface depending on proton diffusion in the electrode layer. On the other hand, in the electrode of Fig. 1(b), a part of the electrode film was removed from the electrode of Fig.1(a) to introduce TPBs. In this case, the electrode reaction takes place not only through DPBs but also through TPBs. Then, by comparing the electrode performances between these novel model electrodes, the contribution of TPB/DPB reactions can be separately evaluated. We applied these model electrodes to investigate the mechanism of the PCFC cathodic reactions. (La,Sr)CoO3-d was chosen as a cathode material, and the model electrodes were fabricated on a Ba(Zr,Yb)O3-d electrolyte. On the lateral and opposite sides of the electrolyte, porous Pt and Pd electrode was set as a reference and a counter electrodes. DC polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were performed with the model electrodes at 773-973 K. As results, it was found TPBs are the dominant reaction site for (La,Sr)CoO3-d PCFC cathode, although DPB reaction slightly contributes to the total reaction. More detailed disucssion will be given in the presentation based on the results by operando X-ray absorption measurements. Figure 1

Porous electrodes in microfluidic fuel cell (MFC) operate with nonuniform reaction rate. It is intriguing to improve the utilization degree of the porous electrodes. In this work, a three-dimensional computational model is developed for MFC with flow-through porous electrodes. Characteristics of the reaction rate distributions under different electrode geometries are examined. The results show that reaction rate varies noticeably along the electrode width direction, but minimally along the electrode length direction. High reaction rate region locates in the vicinity of the interface between the porous electrode and the middle channel. A relatively high aspect ratio, defined as the ratio of the electrode length to width, is beneficial to improve the utilization degree of the porous electrodes. Yet, concentration losses increase due to the decreased fluid velocity. Considering the cell performance, optimal electrode aspect ratios are derived for the anode and cathode, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
This study discusses electrochemical finishing of female screw using different types of completely inserted electrodes as well as feeding electrodes for die material. In the experiment, four types of design electrode are completely inserted and put through both continuous and pulse direct current and another four types of electrode are used with the application of continuous direct current and axial electrode feed. The controlled factors include the chemical composition and the concentration of the electrolyte, the electrolyte temperature, the flow rate of electrolyte, rotational speed of the electrode, current density, and current rating. The parameters are electrolytic time, die material, pulse period, feed rate of the electrode, and electrode geometry. For inserted electrodes, an electrode with thin plate provides more sufficient discharge space, which is advantageous for polishing. The electrode of single plate performs better than the double plate. Pulse direct current can promote the effect of electrochemical finishing, but the machining time is longer and the cost is raised. For feeding electrodes, an electrode of one side borer tip and thinner heavy section performs the best polishing effect in the current investigation. The electrochemical finishing after screw cutting just needs quite short time to make the surface of female screw smoothing and bright.

Porous anodic alumina membranes coated with Pt nanoparticles (PAAM/Pt) have been employed as pH sensor electrodes for H+ ion detection. The PAAM was designed using a two-step anodization process. Pt nanoparticles were then sputtered onto the membrane at different deposition times. The membrane’s morphological, chemical, and optical characteristics were carefully assessed following the fabrication stage using a variety of analytical techniques. The potential of the PAAM/Pt sensor electrode was investigated by measuring the potential using a simple potentiometric method. The effects of depositing Pt nanoparticles for 3–7 min on sensor electrode sensitivity were examined. The optimal potentiometric Nernstian response slope for the PAAM/Pt sensor electrode with 5 min Pt sputter coating is 56.31 mV/decade in the pH range of 3.0 to 10 at 293 K. Additionally, the PAAM/Pt sensor electrode’s stability and selectivity in various ions solutions were examined. The sensor electrode had a lifetime of more than six weeks and was kept in a normal air environment.

Full textAbstract:
The position of the cochlear-implant electrode is important to audiological outcomes after cochlear implantation. The common technique to evaluate the intracochlear electrode’s position involves the use of ionized radiation in MSCT, DVT, or flat-panel tomography (FPT). Recent advances in knowledge regarding the handling of MRI artifacts in cochlear implantees indicate that estimating the intracochlear electrode’s position with an MRI could be possible. This study’s aim was to evaluate the ipsilaterally position of electrodes using MRI at 1.5 T. In a retrospective study of 10 implantees with postoperative need for MRI scanning, we evaluated the intrascalar electrode’s position using a T2-weighted sequence at 1.5 T. We compared the resulting estimate of the intracochlear position with the estimates from the postoperative FPT scan and the intraoperative NRT ratio. For each ear, the MRI-estimated scalar position corresponded with the estimated positions from the FPT and NRT ratio. For eight ears, a scala tympani’s position was observed in the MRI. In one case, an electrode scalar translocation was found. In one case, the scala vestibuli’s position was observed. Thus, MRI-based estimation of the scalar position of a cochlear-implant electrode is possible. Limitations to this method include implant-specific magnet and fixation configurations, which can cause complications.

Conductive gel needs to be applied between the skin and standard medical electrodes when monitoring electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, but this can cause skin irritation, particularly during long-term monitoring. Fabric electrodes are flexible, breathable, and capable of sensing ECG signals without conductive gel. The objective of this study was to design and fabricate a circular fabric electrode using weaving technology. To optimize the woven fabric electrode, electrodes of different diameter, fabric weave, and weft density were devised, and the AC impedance, open-circuit voltage, and static ECG signal were measured and comprehensively evaluated. Diameter of 4 cm, 12/5 sateen, and weft density of 46 picks/cm were concluded as the appropriate parameters of the fabric electrode. ECG signals in swinging, squatting, and rotating states were compared between the woven fabric electrode and the standard medical electrode. The results showed that the characteristic waveform of the woven fabric electrode with 86.7% improved data was more obvious than that of the standard medical electrode. This work provides reference data that will be helpful for commercializing the integration of fabric electrodes into smart textiles.

Brain atrophy induced by traumatic brain injury (TBI) progresses in parallel with epileptogenesis over time, and thus accurate placement of intracerebral electrodes to monitor seizure initiation and spread at the chronic postinjury phase is challenging. We evaluated in adult male Sprague Dawley rats whether adjusting atlas-based electrode coordinates on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) increases electrode placement accuracy and the effect of chronic electrode implantations on TBI-induced brain atrophy. One group of rats (EEG cohort) was implanted with two intracortical (anterior and posterior) and a hippocampal electrode right after TBI to target coordinates calculated using a rat brain atlas. Another group (MRI cohort) was implanted with the same electrodes, but using T2-weighted MRI to adjust the planned atlas-based 3D coordinates of each electrode. Histological analysis revealed that the anterior cortical electrode was in the cortex in 83% (25% in targeted layer V) of the EEG cohort and 76% (31%) of the MRI cohort. The posterior cortical electrode was in the cortex in 40% of the EEG cohort and 60% of the MRI cohort. Without MRI-guided adjustment of electrode tip coordinates, 58% of the posterior cortical electrodes in the MRI cohort will be in the lesion cavity, as revealed by simulated electrode placement on histological images. The hippocampal electrode was accurately placed in 82% of the EEG cohort and 86% of the MRI cohort. Misplacement of intracortical electrodes related to their rostral shift due to TBI-induced cortical and hippocampal atrophy and caudal retraction of the brain, and was more severe ipsilaterally than contralaterally (p < 0.001). Total lesion area in cortical subfields targeted by the electrodes (primary somatosensory cortex, visual cortex) was similar between cohorts (p > 0.05). MRI-guided adjustment of coordinates for electrodes improved the success rate of intracortical electrode tip placement nearly to that at the acute postinjury phase (68% vs. 62%), particularly in the posterior brain, which exhibited the most severe postinjury atrophy. Overall, MRI-guided electrode implantation improved the quality and interpretation of the origin of EEG-recorded signals.

AbstractPorous carbon aerogel material has gained an increasing attraction for developing supercapacitor electrodes due to its cost-effective synthesis process and relatively high electrochemical performance. However, the environmental performances of supercapacitor electrodes produced from different carbon aerogel materials are never comparatively studied, hindering our knowledge of supercapacitor electrode production in a sustainable pattern. In this study, nitrogen-doped biochar aerogel-based electrode (BA-electrode) produced from Entermorpha prolifera was simulated to investigate the environmental performance by using life cycle assessment method. For comparison, the assessment of graphene oxide aerogel-based electrode (GOA-electrode) was also carried out. It can be observed that the life cycle global warming potential for the BA-electrode was lower than that of GOA-electrode with a reduction of 53.1‒68.1%. In comparison with GOA-electrode, the BA-electrodes endowed smaller impacts on environment in majority of impact categories. Moreover, in comparison with GOA-electrode, the environmental damages of BA-electrode were greatly decreased by 35.8‒56.4% (human health), 44.9‒62.6% (ecosystems), and 87.0‒91.2% (resources), respectively. The production stages of GOA and graphene oxide and stages of nitrogen-doped biochar aerogel production and Entermorpha prolifera drying were identified as the hotspots of environmental impact/damage for the GOA-electrode and BA-electrode, respectively. Overall, this finding highlights the efficient utilization of algae feedstock to construct a green and sustainable technical route of supercapacitor electrode production.

It can be observed that the life cycle global warming potential for the BA-electrode was lower than that of GOA-electrode with a reduction of 53.1‒68.1%. In comparison with GOA-electrode, the BA-electrodes endowed smaller impacts on environment in majority of impact categories. Moreover, in comparison with GOA-electrode, the environmental damages of BA-electrode were greatly decreased by 35.8‒56.4% (human health), 44.9‒62.6% (ecosystems), and 87.0‒91.2% (resources), respectively. The production stages of GOA and graphene oxide and stages of nitrogen-doped biochar aerogel production and Entermorpha prolifera drying were identified as the hotspots of environmental impact/damage for the GOA-electrode and BA-electrode, respectively. Overall, this finding highlights the efficient utilization of algae feedstock to construct a green and sustainable technical route of supercapacitor electrode production.

In this paper, we present a soft and moisturizing film electrode based on bacterial cellulose and Ag/AgCl conductive cloth as a potential replacement for gel electrode patches in electroencephalogram (EEG) recording. The electrode materials are entirely flexible, and the bacterial cellulose membrane facilitates convenient adherence to the skin. EEG signals are transmitted from the skin to the bacterial cellulose first and then transferred to the Ag/AgCl conductive cloth connected to the amplifier. The water in the bacterial cellulose moisturizes the skin continuously, reducing the contact impedance to less than 10 kΩ, which is lower than commercial gel electrode patches. The contact impedance and equivalent circuits indicate that the bacterial cellulose electrode effectively reduces skin impedance. Moreover, the bacterial cellulose electrode exhibits lower noise than the gel electrode patch. The bacterial cellulose electrode has demonstrated success in collecting α rhythms. When recording EEG signals, the bacterial cellulose electrode and gel electrode have an average coherence of 0.86, indicating that they have similar performance across different EEG bands. Compared with current mainstream conductive rubber dry electrodes, gel electrodes, and conductive cloth electrodes, the bacterial cellulose electrode has obvious advantages in terms of contact impedance. The bacterial cellulose electrode does not cause skin discomfort after long-term recording, making it more suitable for applications with strict requirements for skin affinity than gel electrode patches.

Over recent years there has been increasing awareness of the potential damage to the fragile structures of the cochlea that could be caused by the insertion of intracochlear electrodes. Temporal bone histologic studies from chronically implanted human patients have shown that intracochlear electrodes can cause significant insertion trauma. This paper describes how the mechanical properties of the electrode array can influence insertion trauma, and compares the properties of solid wire electrodes with those of a tapered electrode array. The maximum force that can be applied by the tip of the solid wire electrode is 25 times what can be applied by the tapered electrode array, whereas the tapered array is ten times more flexible. These differences in mechanical properties suggest that evidence for insertion trauma should be assessed on an electrode-by-electrode basis.

Full textAbstract:
Two different Zn-based batteries are tested, simultaneously recording the voltage of the negative and positive electrodes during the discharge/charge processes to evidence the advantages of using a three-electrode cell, including a pseudo-reference electrode, with respect to the normally applied two electrodes system. The three-electrode cell allows us to identify in each moment which electrode reveals unexpected events during a battery test and thus to act on it accordingly. In this work, alkaline Zn/Bi2O3 and Zn/air batteries, including a pseudo-reference electrode, are subjected to different galvanostatic discharge/charge tests, highlighting several unforeseen changes and failures in both negative and positive electrodes. Thus, the usefulness of using a three-electrodes system in Zn-based batteries is revealed because it allows us to explain what the cause of the battery failure was and, if necessary, to act immediately. Finally, Spectroscopic Impedance measurements are also applied to a specific case of the Zn/Bi2O3 battery using the same three-electrode cell.

A phenol imprinted polymer modified electrode has been prepared by electropolymerization technique in the solution containing aniline as monomer and phenol as a template onto carbon paste electrode surface. A potentiometric method was used to evaluate the performance of the electrodes. Optimization of aniline and phenol composition and a number of polymerization cycles was investigated based on the Nernstian factor. The performance of the electrode sensor is affected by the pH of the analyte solution. Based on the potential response of three different electrodes, it is known that MIP modified electrode has better sensitivity than non-imprinted electrode or bare carbon paste electrode.

The numerous battery gigafactory projects show that the Li-ion battery sector is booming. Although groundbreaking technologies such as all-solid-state batteries mobilize a lot of research effort, current Li-ion liquid technology still needs to be updated. Only a few publications are related to electrode manufacturing. However, increasing the active material content, the areal capacity, or the solid slurry content is key to improve the energy density but also the manufacturing costs. The objectives of this thesis work are to understand and improve the preparation of the slurry and the manufacturing process as a whole in order to obtain the best possible performances depending on the material used. Initially, the study is carried out in an aqueous formulation for negative graphite electrodes. Still, it will be extended after that to the positive electrode in an organic formulation. The negative electrode is very interesting from a fundamental study point of view because of its specificities that limit the fast charge operation of the cells with a risk of metallic lithium deposit. This electrode's basic composition, in weight, is 96.5% graphite (90/10 mixture of natural and artificial graphite), 1.3% Na-CMC, 1.7% latex, and 0.5% electronic conductor. Eleven significant parameters were selected thanks to preliminary results and literature outcomes. Their impact is determined by crossing experiences and varying them thanks to a rational approach based on the design of experiments (DOE) methodology. A DOE is carried out to be able to study this large number of parameters with a limited number of trials. Apart from the active material and the mixer used, the parameters are grouped into three categories: - The CMC (CarboxyMethylCellulose) polymer, with the molar mass, the substitution degree, and its content. - The electronic conductors, the content as well as the nature (nanotube, nano-sphere, and platelet) - Electrode properties such as coating speed, porosity, or loading. To determine their influences, characterizations are carried out throughout the electrode coating. The slurries are analyzed by rheology and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adhesion of the electrodes and their structuring are measured, with particular attention on the electronic resistivity and tortuosity. Finally, the electrodes obtained are tested by electrochemical cycling at various charging rates. Tortuosity is a particularly sensitive factor in relation to the issue of rapid charge/discharge [1]. The tortuosity is measured by electrochemical impedance in the blocking and symmetric electrode configuration and corresponds to the measurement of the distance traveled by the ions in order to cross an electrode (Figure 1). [2] The results of this wide study will be presented with parameter sensitivity on capacity retention, high charging rate capabilities, or electrode mechanical properties. Interrelations between the parameters will be pointed out. Optimal electrode formulations and designs will be presented to validate the approach. [1] D. Grießl, A. Adam, K. Huber, and A.

Full textAbstract:
Migration of a cochlear implant electrode is a hitherto uncommon complication. So far, array migration has only been observed in lateral wall electrodes. Between 1999 and 2014, a total of 27 patients received bilateral perimodiolar electrode arrays at our institution. The insertion depth angle was estimated on the initial postoperative scans and compared with the insertion depth angle of the postoperative scans performed after contralateral cochlear implantation. Seven (25.93%) patients were found to have an electrode array migration of more than 15°. Electrode migration in perimodiolar electrodes seems to be less frequent and to occur to a lower extent than in lateral wall electrodes. Electrode migration was clinically asymptomatic in all cases.

AbstractLocal field potentials (LFPs) are involved in almost all cognitive activities of animals. Several kinds of recording electrodes are used for recording LFPs in freely moving animals, including commercial and homemade electrodes. However, commercial recording electrodes are expensive, and their relatively fixed size often causes a steric hindrance effect, especially when combining deep brain stimulation (DBS) with LFP recording, which may not always satisfy the aim of researchers. Currently, an increasing number of researchers are designing their own recording electrodes to lower research costs. Nevertheless, there is no simple universal method to produce low-cost recording electrodes with a specific size according to the target brain area. Thus, we developed a simple method for quickly producing low-cost multiple-channel recording electrodes. To inspect the effectiveness of our self-designed electrode, LFPs were recorded in a Parkinson’s disease (PD) rat model, and an electrical stimulation electrode was implanted into the subthalamic nucleus to verify the space-saving ability of the self-designed recording electrode. The results showed that <30 min was needed to prepare an electrode and that the electrode materials cost <5 dollars. Further investigations showed that our electrode successfully recorded the beta oscillations (12–40 Hz) in the PD rat model. Thus, this method will greatly reduce the cost of recording electrodes and save time for researchers. Additionally, the small size of the electrode will further facilitate DBS research.

AbstractWearable smart monitors (WSMs) applied for the estimation of electrophysiological signals are of utmost interest for a non-stressed life. WSM which records heart muscle activities could signalize timely a life-threatening event. The heart muscle activities are typically recorded across the heart at the surface of the body; hence, a WSM monitor requires high-quality surface electrodes. The electrodes used in the clinical settings [i.e. silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) with the gel] are not practical for the daily out of clinic usage. A practical WSM requires the application of a dry electrode with stable and reproducible electrical characteristics. We compared the characteristics of six types of dry electrodes and one gelled electrode during short-term recordings sessions (≈30 s) in real-life conditions: Orbital, monolithic polymer plated with Ag/AgCl, and five rectangular shaped 10 × 6 × 2 mm electrodes (Orbital, Ag electrode, Ag/AgCl electrode, gold electrode and stainless-steel AISI304). The results of a well-controlled analysis which considered motion artifacts, line noise and junction potentials suggest that among the dry electrodes Ag/AgCl performs the best. The Ag/AgCl electrode is in average three times better compared with the stainless-steel electrode often used in WSMs.

Electrodes are essential for electrochemical analysis. Numerous bare electrodes and chemically modified electrodes have been utilized for electrochemical sensing. Common bare electrodes, such as platinum electrode, gold electrode and glassy carbon electrode, are relatively expensive. It requires good skills to fabricate chemically modified electrodes to get reproducible results. In recent years, we have exploited the applications of some simple electrodes for electrochemical sensing and biosensing [1-5]. We have used stainless steel electrode for electrochemical detection and electrochemiluminescent detection of hydrogen peroxide, glucose, and the activity of glucose oxidase [1,2]. The automatic formation of passivation layer on stainless steel electrode not only results in unique electrochemical sensing performance but also avoid complex modification of electrode. We have also developed stainless steel electrode as a new driving electrode with low background for bipolar electrogenerated chemiluminescence [3]. Moreover, we have developed carbon paste electrodes as effective electrode for sensitive detection of sodium azide and cathodic electrochemiluminescence [4,5]. Finally, we have developed a wireless electrode array chip for wireless electrochemiluminescence analysis [6,7].

Wearable sensors have great potential uses in personal health monitoring systems, in which textile-based electrodes are particularly useful because they are comfortable to wear and are skin and environmentally friendly. In this paper, a hybrid textile electrode for electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement and motion tracking was introduced. The hybrid textile electrode consists of two parts: A textile electrode for ECG monitoring, and a motion sensor for patient activity tracking. In designing the textile electrodes, their performance in ECG measurement was investigated. Two main influencing factors on the skin-electrode impedance of the electrodes were found: Textile material properties, and electrode sizes. The optimum textile electrode was silver plated, made of a high stitch density weft knitted conductive fabric and its size was 20 mm × 40 mm. A flexible motion sensor circuit was designed and integrated within the textile electrode. Systematic measurements were performed, and results have shown that the hybrid textile electrode is capable of recording ECG and motion signals synchronously, and is suitable for ambulatory ECG measurement and motion tracking applications.

High-performance flexible multilayer transparent conducting electrodes (TCE) based on silver nanowires (AgNWs), graphene oxide (GO), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) materials on the flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate were successfully fabricated by spin-coating technique. The multilayer electrodes were fabricated using different combinations of AgNWs, GO, and PEDOT:PSS materials. The morphological, physical properties, surface roughness, and durability of the fabricated electrodes were investigated. The results indicated that the five-layer structured electrode of PEDOT:PSS/GO/AgNW/GO/PEDOT:PSS possesses the best performance with a sheet resistance of 23 Ω/sq, transmittance of 85 %, and the figure of merit (FoM) value of 8.6, which is equivalent to the commercial ITO electrode. Besides, the five-layer structured electrode possessed a surface roughness of only 8 nm. The PEDOT:PSS/GO/AgNW/GO/PEDOT:PSS electrode also exhibited high durability after being exposed to the environment for 30 days. Owing to the combination of AgNWs, GO, and PEDOT: PSS materials, the five-layer electrode of PEDOT:PSS/GO/AgNW/GO/PEDOT:PSS improved the inherent disadvantages of AgNWs electrodes. In addition, the electrode possessed good conductivity, high stability, low cost, and simplicity. The electrode can be used as a promising electrode in optoelectronic devices.
