Biomaterials and bioelectronics for self-powered neurostimulation.

Self-powered neurostimulation via biomaterials and bioelectronics innovation has emerged as a compelling approach to explore, repair, and modulate neural systems. This review examines the application of self-powered bioelectronics for electrical stimulation of both the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as isolated neurons. Contemporary research has adeptly harnessed biomechanical and biochemical energy from the human body, through various mechanisms such as triboelectricity, piezoelectricity, magnetoelasticity, and biofuel cells, to power these advanced bioelectronics. Notably, these self-powered bioelectronics hold substantial potential for delivering neural stimulations that are customized for the treatment of neurological diseases, facilitation of neural regeneration, and the development of neuroprosthetics. Looking ahead, we expect that the ongoing advancements in biomaterials and bioelectronics will drive the field of self-powered neurostimulation toward the realization of more advanced, closed-loop therapeutic solutions, paving the way for personalized and adaptable neurostimulators in the coming decades.
