Ultrathin Cell‐Membrane‐Mimic Phosphorylcholine Polymer Film Coating Enables Large Improvements for In Vivo Electrochemical Detection

Abstract Resisting biomolecule adsorption onto the surface of brain‐implanted microelectrodes is a key issue for in vivo monitoring of neurochemicals. Herein, we demonstrate that an ultrathin cell‐membrane‐mimic film of ethylenedioxythiophene tailored with zwitterionic phosphorylcholine (EDOT‐PC) electropolymerized onto the surface of a carbon fiber microelectrode (CFE) not only resists protein adsorption but also maintains the sensitivity and time response for in vivo monitoring of dopamine (DA). As a consequence, the as‐prepared PEDOT‐PC/CFEs could be used as a new reliable platform for tracking DA in vivo and would help understand the physiological and pathological functions of DA.
