Fig. 2: Preparation process and photographs of anticoagulant supercapacitor.
From: An anticoagulant supercapacitor for implantable applications
a Preparation and application schematic diagrams of bioelectrode material PEDOT: Hep and implantable anticoagulant supercapacitor (the pink arrow shows the preparation, implantation, and application of the anticoagulant supercapacitor, and the gray arrow indicates the anticoagulant supercapacitor inhibits platelet adhesion), b Schematic description of the oxidative polymerization of EDOT into PEDOT and heparin-doped PEDOT: (i) oxidation of EDOT to form cationic radicals, (ii) dimerization of cationic radicals, (iii) deprotonation to form dimers, and (iv, v) oxidation of the PEDOT and heparin-doped PEDOT, respectively (the orange arrow shows the polymerization process of EDOT and the doping of heparin during the in situ polymerization of the supercapacitor), and c–f the thickness, placed on plant leaves photographs, front, and side photographs of anticoagulant supercapacitor, respectively, the scale bar is 1 cm.
