Abstract
Neural electrodes are electronic devices utilized for the detection and recording
of electrical signals produced by neurons. Recent advancements have focused on
exploring diverse innovative materials to enhance the performance and
biocompatibility of electrodes, making them more compatible with the human body.
By utilizing flexible polymer substrates and novel conducting materials, neural
electrodes have been developed to adapt to the body's movements. Moreover,
transparent flexible electrodes, employing transparent conducting materials,
have also emerged, presenting a broad spectrum of potential applications.
Additionally, ongoing research is investigating the fabrication of neural
electrodes through solution processes and printing techniques, aiming to replace
conventional electrodes that are burdened with high manufacturing costs. This
paper comprehensively discusses the various types of neural electrodes, the
utilization of novel materials in electrode design, and the application of
solution processes in their fabrication.
