One-Pot Synthesis of a Robust Crosslinker-Free Thermo-Reversible Conducting Hydrogel Electrode for Epidermal Electronics.

ABSTRACT: Traditional epidermal electrodes, typically made of silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl), have been widely used in various applications, including electrophysiological recordings and biosignal monitoring. However, they present limitations due to inherent material mismatches with the skin. This often results in high interface impedance, discomfort, and potential skin irritation, particularly during prolonged use or for individuals with sensitive skin. While various tissue-mimicking materials have been explored, their mechanical advantages often come at the expense of conductivity, resulting in low-quality recordings. We herein report the facile fabrication of conducting and stretchable hydrogels using a "one-pot" method. This approach involves the synthesis of a natural hydrogel, termed Gold
