DESCRIPTION:Prof Damien Thuau\nOrganic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs)
  have gained significant research interest for applications as chemical/bi
 ological sensors and in neuromorphic circuits due to their high transcondu
 ctance\, efficient electron-ion coupling\, compatibility with aqueous solu
 tions\, conformability\, and low voltage operation. These advantages stem 
 from organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) that enable simult
 aneous transport of electronic charges and ionic species\, which can be di
 rect processed via electropolymerization. This technique offers precise co
 ntrol over polymer film thickness and morphology\, facilitating the format
 ion of nanostructures and enabling selective patterning on individual chan
 nels without complex photolithography\, simplifying OECT fabrication and i
 ntegration. In this talk\, I will discuss the performance of OECTs using v
 arious electropolymerized channel materials\, starting with PEDOT for dopa
 mine detection\, followed PEDOT:N3\, a clickable OMIEC variant whose thres
 hold voltage can be finely tuned through control of the electropolymerizat
 ion parameters\, and finally P-tri-DPA for zinc ion detection\, achieving 
 low limits of detection and high specificity for Zn²⁺ ions. These find
 ings highlight the potential of electropolymerization and OMIEC materials 
 engineering in developing advanced bioelectronic devices.
