We studied graphene-based microelectrodes by investigating their recording and stimulation properties in order to evaluate their suitability for neuronal implants. In this work, we compare three different electrode material compositions. Microelectrode arrays (MEA) with an electrode size of about 700 μm2 were prepared of gold, graphene on gold, and plain graphene on glass substrate. In order to reduce polymer contamination during graphene transfer, we employed a polymer-free transfer and lift-off process. Impedance studies revealed a value of 2.3 MΩ at 1 kHz for plain, and 0.88 MΩ for graphene on gold. Neuronal recording experiments showed a sufficient SNR for both graphene-based materials and a stable impedance, unaffected by surface degradation metal electrodes are known for. Stimulation measurements yielded a charge injection capacity of 0.15 mC/cm2 using biphasic pulses of 1 ms and 1 μA transparent graphene electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry revealed a large voltage range of -1.4 V to +1.6 V before water electrolysis occurs. Graphene-coated gold microelectrodes show enhanced recording properties, whereas plain graphene electrodes might be better suited for stimulation applications.}, subject = {Mikroelektrode}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NickHockEmmerichetal.2015, author = {Nick, Christoph and Hock, Christina and Emmerich, Florian and Belle, Stefan and Thielemann, Christiane and Asmus, Tim and Loose, Thomas and Wienand, Karlheinz}, title = {Ultrathin gold as sensor platform for biomolecules}, series = {2015 International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO), Changchun, China}, booktitle = {2015 International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO), Changchun, China}, doi = {10.1109/3M-NANO.2015.7425462}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Due to the increasing number of diabetes patients worldwide there is an enormous need for accurate, fast and someday also continuous or even closed loop monitoring of blood glucose level. More than 50 years after Clark and Lyons proposed the first glucose enzyme electrodes this concept is still widely in use today. Most concepts use the enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) that reacts with glucose. These reactions cause a current that is proportional to the amount of glucose present at the sensor. Thus, if the sample volume is known, the blood sugar level can be measured. Although these electrodes have been in use for so long they have the disadvantage of a limited shelf time. In this work we present an enzyme free approach for glucose detection applying ultrathin gold films. According to the basic Fuchs-Sondheimer-theory and other more sophisticated models the resistivity of ultrathin metal films is dominated by scattering effects at their surface. Chemical reactions at the metallic surface are expected to change the conductivity properties and thus these changes can be used to detect molecules. This can be done by creating a self-assembled monolayer at the gold surface. When molecules such as glucose bind to the end groups of this layer the electron scattering and thus the conductivity of the film is expected to change. Ultrathin gold films with a thickness of 6 nm show the largest relative change in resistivity and are thus the preferred film thickness for this application. These gold films show a significant change in resistance when model molecules sodium sulfide and dextran are present, whereas the resistance of a platinum reference electrode does not change significantly.}, subject = {Biosensor}, language = {en} }
