Abstract
The ability to induce different potentials in different regions of a (bipolar) electrode could be transformative for many applications such as on-demand drug delivery, the stimulation of biological cells towards the development of advanced electroceuticals, and for multi-analyte detection devices where different analytes could be wirelessly detected in different regions of a single sensing surface dramatically simplifying the device design. Here, we demonstrate the use of multiple feeder electrodes to control the electric field distribution in solution thus changing the potential induced in different regions of the bipolar electrode depending on the voltage applied, polarity and feeder electrode position. This allows for deposition of films of the conducting polymer, PEDOT, without the need for a physical template to control the regions in which polymer deposits.
