Wearable SC-ISEs for ion detection in interstitial fluid. (A–C) Microneedle-based SC-ISEs for K+ analysis in skin interstitial fluid. (A) Illustration of microneedle patch including working electrode (WE) and reference electrode (RE). For the WE, the bare microneedle was coated carbon, f-MWCNTs and K+-ISM. For the RE, the bare microneedle was coated Ag/AgCl; and poly(vinly butyral) membrane and polyurethane. (B) K+ response before and after insertion into the animal skin. (C) Ex vivo K+ measurement in chicken skin with calibration. Reprinted with permission from [88], Copyright (2019) American Chemical Society. (D,E) A cotton fiber-based SC-ISEs for Li+ sensing in the human plasma. (D) A SEM image for the cotton-based SC-ISEs. (E) Li+-response in aqueous solution and human plasma. The inset shows the time traces for Li+ response. Reprinted with permission from [89], Copyright (2018) American Chemical Society.
