This study describes the construction of a self-powered electrochromic device for the determination of metabolites in sweat, which can be visualized by the naked eye. By utilizing screen-printing technology, the device is able to simplify the complexity of skin-patch wearable sensors, potentially leading to a powerful analytical tool without the need for external detection systems.
One of the limitations of many skin-patch wearable sensors today is their dependence on silicon-based electronics, increasing their complexity and unit cost. Self-powered sensors, in combination with electrochromic materials, allow simplifying the construction of these devices, leading to powerful analytical tools that remove the need for external detection systems. This work describes the construction, by screen-printing, of a self-powered electrochromic device that can be adapted for the determination of metabolites in sweat by the naked eye in the form of a 3 x 15 mm colour bar. The device comprises a lactate oxidase and osmium-polymer -based anode connected to a coplanar 3 x 15 mm Prussian Blue, PB, cathode printed over a transparent poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate, PEDOT:PSS electrode. An ion-gel composed of Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene), PVDF-co-HFP, a gelling agent, and ionic liquid 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, EMIM-Tf, effectively separates the cathode display from the biosensing anode, protecting it from the sample. Despite its cathodic electrochromism, the PEDOT:PSS has a transmission above 90% and does not mask the Prussian Blue colour change because the cathode does not operate below 0 V vs Ag/AgCl at any time. The sensor displays lactate concentrations in the range of 0-10 mM over the length of the electrochromic display, which has a contrast ratio of 1.43. Although full response takes up to 24 min, 85% of the colour change is displayed within 10 mM.
