a-i Synthesis scheme of ETE-BuSA. a-ii Chemical structure of A5. b BICS after electrofunctionalization (eBICS): a dark core (approximately 100 µm) with protruding dendritic structures is observed. c The setup used to characterize the electrical properties of eBICS. d Current vs. time measurements during the electrofunctionalization of proBICS. e Cyclic voltammetry of eBICS and A5 (average of 3 independent current–voltage measurements). f Electrochemical impedance measurements of A5 and BICS. Solid and dashed lines denote modulus and frequency response, respectively. g Transfer characteristics of eBICS sweeping the gate voltage from 0 to 0.6 V, with a stepwise increase of 0.05 V.
