MICRO-REACTION CHAMBER MICROELECTRODES ESPECIALLY FOR NEURAL AND BIOINTERFACES

摘要

Biocompatible electrodes with smaller geometric area improve the selectivity of the neural recording and stimulation applications. A volume within the electrode back plane of a micro-reaction chamber (μRC) is used to confine and sequester an electrochemical reaction used for charge passage. The μRC electrode decreases impedance and improves charge storage capacity without altering the geometry of the active site.
