Smart stents integrate embedded sensors and advanced technology, providing a real-time diagnostic feedback, particularly for detection of thrombotic events. A continuous monitoring reactive oxygen species (ROS) in blood vessels is crucial for cardiovascular disease. The provision of a continuous power supply to sensors integrated within blood vessels is challenging. This study introduces a novel device that combines a sensor and supercapacitor, functioning as a ROS sensor and enabling continuous charging and discharging within blood vessels. This device uses yarn-shaped electrodes integrated with cytochrome c and carbon nanotubes (Cyt.c/CNT). The Cyt.c/CNT electrode exhibits a high specificity to ROS with an sensitivity (49.02 μA μM−1 cm−2), as a real-time biosensor for monitoring of cellular ROS levels in living cells. In addition, it exhibited an energy storage performance of 257.95 mF cm−2 as a supercapacitor and maintained a stable performance during 10,000 repeated cycles in various biofluids. Notably, the integration of the Cyt.c/CNT electrode with an enzymatic biofuel cell enables continuous charging and discharging in a biofluid, making it a promising system for in-vivo applications. This study presents the potential of Cyt.c for ROS sensing as well as its potential as an energy storage system, showing new possibilities for implantable devices for cardiovascular diseases.
