Abstract

En 中文
Bioelectronic devices represent a rapidly expanding frontier at the interface of materials science; biology; and electronics; with the potential to transform healthcare by enabling seamless communication between living tissues and engineered systems. A central challenge in this field is the design of soft materials that can efficiently transport both ionic and electronic charge carriers; thereby bridging the fundamental mismatch between biological and electronic signal transduction. In this Opinion; we argue that eutectic systems offer a powerful yet underexplored platform for engineering mixed ionic-electronic conducting soft materials. Eutectic mixtures; by virtue of their unique phase behavior; tunable molecular interactions; and inherent structural flexibility; provide an exceptional starting point for tailoring materials that combine biocompatibility; adaptability; and functional conductivity. We highlight how eutectic design principles can be leveraged to expand the palette of soft conductors; offering pathways to address persistent challenges such as stability; processability; and integration with complex biological environments. Looking forward; we outline key research directions to unlock the full potential of eutectic-derived conductors in advancing next-generation bioelectronic systems.
