Facile Deep Brain Electrode Coating with MXene for Improved Electrode Performance.

ABSTRACT: Accurate brain signal recording and precise electrode placement are critical for the success of neuromodulation therapies such as deep brain stimulation (DBS). Addressing these challenges requires deep brain electrodes that provide high-quality, stable recordings while remaining compatible with high-resolution medical imaging modalities like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Moreover, such electrodes shall be cost-effective, easy to manufacture, and patient-compatible. In this study, a facile dip-coating approach is proposed using conductive titanium carbide (Ti₃C₂T_x) MXene nanosheets to enhance the performance of commercially available carbon fiber electrodes for chronic neural recording. Ti₃C₂T_x-coated electrodes exhibit i
