“…In addition to the direct pulsed laser light, optoelectronic devices based on different materials, such as graphene, gold nanoparticles, and PEDOT:PSS, have been used for the stimulation of cardiomyocyte cells. [180][181][182] Due to the biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ubiquity of silicon in optoelectronics, Si-based devices have shown promise for optical cardiac pacemaker applications. For example, a Si NW-polymer mesh structure containing randomly oriented high-density Si NWs can stimulate primary cardiomyocytes in vitro when implanted in a rat heart, and can control the beating frequency under pulsed green laser excitation.…”
