ECG Electrode, Fabrication Method Thereof, and Electronic Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18514111 titled 'ECG Electrode, Fabrication Method Thereof, and Electronic Device
Simplified Explanation
The ECG electrode described in the patent application consists of an electrode substrate with a doped graphite-like carbon film on its outer surface. This film contains graphite-like carbon, as well as first and second nano-crystals embedded within it. The first nano-crystal includes a weak carbon-bonding element in the form of a metallic elementary substance, arranged in a columnar structure within the film. The second nano-crystal, on the other hand, includes a strong carbon-bonding element that chemically bonds with the carbon element in the graphite-like carbon. These second nano-crystals are distributed between adjacent columnar structures, providing the electrode with high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and ensuring high-quality electrocardiography signal transmission.

Original Abstract Submitted
An ECG electrode is provided. The ECG electrode includes an electrode substrate and a doped graphite-like carbon film located on an outer surface of the electrode substrate. The doped graphite-like carbon film includes graphite-like carbon, and first nano-crystals and second nano-crystals that are embedded in the graphite-like carbon. The first nano-crystal includes a weak carbon-bonding element. The weak carbon-bonding element has a part that exists in a form of a metallic elementary substance. The first nano-crystal includes a columnar structure. The columnar structure extends in a thickness direction of the doped graphite-like carbon film. The second nano-crystal includes a strong carbon-bonding element. The strong carbon-bonding element bonds with the carbon element in the graphite-like carbon through a chemical bond. The second nano-crystals are distributed between adjacent and spaced columnar structures. The ECG electrode has high hardness and excellent wear resistance while ensuring excellent electrocardiography signal quality.
