Body Compatible Thermometer Based on Green Electrolytes.

With the use of coordinated complexes between aliphatic diols and calcium chloride (CaCl2) as green electrolytes, a body compatible, ecofriendly and low-cost thermometer is successfully developed. This particular conductive liquid possesses unique features of ultrafast response and high sensitivity against temperature change. The influences of CaCl2 concentration and the category of aliphatic diols on conductivity change reveal that the thermal sensing abilities of such green electrolytes are positively relevant to the viscosity change along with temperature change. Owing to the advantages of stability, reliability, and security, the thermometer can implement long-term and continuous temperature monitoring, which can fully meet the requirements of application of medical monitors, diagnostics, and therapies. Moreover, the inherent advantages of thermometers, including satisfactory biocompatibility and nontoxicity, afford great promise for applications in invasive and inflammatory devices.
