Needle-type organic electrochemical transistor for spatially resolved detection of dopamine

  • In this work, the advantages of carbon nanoelectrodes (CNEs) and orgonic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) were merged to realise nanometre-sized, spearhead OECTs based on single- and double-barrel CNEs functionalised with a conducting polymer film. The needle-type OECT shows a high aspect ratio that allows its precise positioning by means of a macroscopic handle and its size is compatible with single-cell analysis. The device was characterised with respect to its electrolyte-gated behaviour and was employed as electrochemical sensor for the proof-of-concept detection of dopamine (DA) over a wide concentration range (\(10^{−12}—10^{−6}\) M). Upon application of fixed drain and gate voltages (\(V_{d} = − 0.3 V, V_{g}\) = − 0.9 V, respectively), the nano-sized needle-type OECT sensor exhibited a linear response in the low pM range and from 0.002 to 7 \(\mu\)M DA, with a detection limit of 1 × \(10^{−12}\) M.
