Abstract The most prevalent among nervous system tumors significantly jeopardize patient health. For nerve integrity preservation after tumor removal, continuous intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (CINM) is indispensable during microsurgery. The paper highlights the articles about the development of a system that employs soft and stretchable organic electronic materials for CINM. This innovative system harnesses soft and stretchable organic electronic materials and deploys conductive polymer electrodes with low impedance and modulus. These electrodes facilitate uninterrupted near‐field action potential recording during surgery, resulting in enhanced signal‐to‐noise ratios and reduced invasiveness. Additionally, the system's multiplexing capabilities enable precise nerve localization, even in the absence of anatomical landmarks.

Reported herein are solution-processed polymer anode electrodes for blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). The highly conductive anodes were made from 10-wt%-methyl-red-(MR)-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) (PH1000) films. The red-colored and uniform polymer films demonstrated electrical conductivity values that significantly increased from 0.25 to 50 S·cm−1 after doping. The more than 200-fold enhancement in conductivity indicates that the doped films have a lower sheet resistance and better hole injection and transport properties than the pristine films. The resultant PhOLEDs based on the doped polymer anodes exhibited stable, broad, and intense blue emission at 468 nm with a 2616 cd·m−2 maximum luminance and a 4 V turn-on voltage. The obtained study results confirmed the effectiveness of the MR dye as a dopant for the significant enhancement of the conductivity and effective hole injection of PEDOT:PSS. Efficient future flexible optoelectronic applications can be built using this highly conductive polymer electrode obtained via a simple, solution-processed, and cost-effective doping approach.
