“…In this biosensor, C60 is adsorbed in a porous carbon electrode for electron transport. C60 serves as an efficient electron acceptor [ 32 ] and exhibits rich electrochemical behavior owing to its high number of conjugated double bonds and low-vacancy LUMO orbitals, endowing it with a strong electron acceptor ability. Furthermore, the unique cage structure of fullerenes enables the insertion of other small molecules into their cavities, leading to significant modifications in the physical and chemical properties of fullerene molecules in applications such as tumor imaging [ 33 , 34 , 35 ] and drug loading [ 36 ].…”

Implantable brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) are crucial tools for translating basic neuroscience concepts into clinical disease diagnosis and therapy. Among the various components of the technological chain that increases the sensing and stimulation functions of implanted BCI, the interface materials play a critical role. Carbon nanomaterials, with their superior electrical, structural, chemical, and biological capabilities, have become increasingly popular in this field. They have contributed significantly to advancing BCIs by improving the sensor signal quality of electrical and chemical signals, enhancing the impedance and stability of stimulating electrodes, and precisely modulating neural function or inhibiting inflammatory responses through drug release. This comprehensive review provides an overview of carbon nanomaterials’ contributions to the field of BCI and discusses their potential applications. The topic is broadened to include the use of such materials in the field of bioelectronic interfaces, as well as the potential challenges that may arise in future implantable BCI research and development. By exploring these issues, this review aims to provide insight into the exciting developments and opportunities that lie ahead in this rapidly evolving field.
