In this mini review, we aim to comprehensively outline the chemical approaches employed in tailoring PEDOT:PSS for bioelectronic applications. We open our discussion by showcasing various synthetic techniques and commercially accessible forms of PEDOT:PSS, providing practical advice and approaches to greatly enhance its electrical properties, and presenting diverse chemical designs and processing methods that are essential for converting PEDOT:PSS into different form factors, such as fibers, gels, and films, for integration a range of device structures. Additionally, we explore several burgeoning applications of PEDOT:PSS in bioelectronics, ranging from wearable health monitoring to implantable neural interfaces, underscoring its essential impact on improving device efficiency and biological compatibility, as it opens avenues for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in the realm of precision medicine. Concluding with an outlook, the review presents insights into the ongoing challenges and future research paths for PEDOT:PSS in the ever-evolving landscape of bioelectronics. We emphasize the need for continued innovation in materials science and engineering to further harness the full potential of this dynamic domain.
