Conducting polymers in chemical sensors and arrays

The design and fabrication of three-dimensional multifunctional architectures from the appropriate nanoscale building blocks, including the strategic use of void space and deliberate disorder as design components, permits a re-examination of devices that produce or store energy as discussed in this critical review. The appropriate electronic, ionic, and electrochemical requirements for such devices may now be assembled into nanoarchitectures on the bench-top through the synthesis of low density, ultraporous nanoarchitectures that meld high surface area for heterogeneous reactions with a continuous, porous network for rapid molecular flux. Such nanoarchitectures amplify the nature of electrified interfaces and challenge the standard ways in which electrochemically active materials are both understood and used for energy storage. An architectural viewpoint provides a powerful metaphor to guide chemists and materials scientists in the design of energy-storing nanoarchitectures that depart from the hegemony of periodicity and order with the promise—and demonstration—of even higher performance (265 references).

Composites of intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) are materials that utilize conjugated polymers and at least one secondary component that can be inorganic or organic materials or biologically active species. The goal is to produce a new composite material that has distinct properties that were not observed in the individual components. This may include either new or improved chemical properties that can be exploited for chemical or biological sensing. For example, adding carbon nanotubes tends to drastically influence the electrical and thermal conductivity of ICPs. A secondary aspect concerns the stabilization of the secondary component in the polymer matrix. Enhanced optical, electrical, or mechanical properties such as stiffness and strength are common. In some cases, the physical and chemical properties of the secondary component are much different after composite formation. For the purpose of this review we will primarily focus on the ICPs such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polythiophene and their derivatives. The resonance-stabilized structure of ICPs allows, for example, incorporation of ions, nanoparticles, or nanowires of metals, metal oxides, carbon, or molecular species such as metallophthalocyanines or biologically active components such as enzymes, antibodies, and antigens. 1 I some cases, the ICP will simply act as a template for the incorporation of the secondary component. In that case, the secondary component will impart the chemical properties required for chemical sensing. In other cases the materials are linked through electrostatic interactions which influence the electronic and physical properties of the materials used to prepare the composite.

A carbon dot (C-Dot)-based two-photon fluorescent probe has been developed for the monitoring of pH changes across a broad range with high sensitivity and selectivity. The inorganic-organic probe also shows good biocompatibility and cell permeability, and thus can be successfully applied in bioimaging and biosensing of physiological pH in living cells, as well as living tissues at a depth of 65-185 μm.

Cellular energy transduction processes are often driven by transmembrane ion gradients, and numerous artificial biomembrane systems have been developed that allow for chemically or light-induced charge transport into/out of liposomes. Liposomal architectures, however, are not readily interfaced to a solid-state transducer. Formation of an ion gradient across a planar-supported membrane, “wired” to a substrate electrode, may ultimately allow utilization of the potential energy to drive other electrochemical processes. Described here is a novel conductive polymer/planar waveguide assembly that provides for highly sensitive transduction of proton transport across a planar-supported lipid bilayer (PSLB). A quinone proton shuttle is embedded in the PSLB, which is coupled to the planar optical waveguide electrode through a pH-sensitive, self-assembled conductive polymer film. Interfacial potential and absorbance changes in the conductive polymer film provide for sensitive characterization of transmembrane proto...
