Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores the use of perovskite materials, specifically tetramethylammonium lead iodide (TMAPbI3) quantum dots, as a new option for creating photovoltaic interfaces that can help restore vision in retinal degeneration cases.
  • - By synthesizing TMAPbI3 quantum dots and integrating them with a polymer (P3HT), researchers achieved a notable photocurrent under light, improving ionic responsivity to 17.4 mA/W.
  • - The 18-nm quantum dots showed good compatibility with nerve cells, suggesting that these materials could lead to advanced photovoltaic implants for the retina that enhance visual stimulation.

Neuromorphic electronics, inspired by the functions of neurons, have the potential to enable biomimetic communication with cells. Such systems require operation in aqueous environments, generation of sufficient levels of ionic currents for neurostimulation, and plasticity. However, their implementation requires a combination of separate devices, such as sensors, organic synaptic transistors, and stimulation electrodes.

Optoelectronic biointerfaces have gained significant interest for wireless and electrical control of neurons. Three-dimentional (3D) pseudocapacitive nanomaterials with large surface areas and interconnected porous structures have great potential for optoelectronic biointerfaces that can fulfill the requirement of high electrode-electrolyte capacitance to effectively transduce light into stimulating ionic currents. In this study, the integration of 3D manganese dioxide (MnO ) nanoflowers into flexible optoelectronic biointerfaces for safe and efficient photostimulation of neurons is demonstrated.
