What Are the Concerns Regarding Toxicity of Electrode Materials?
The toxicity of electrode materials is a significant concern, especially when used in medical devices or when they degrade into the environment. Some metal-based electrodes, such as those containing lead or cadmium, pose health risks due to their toxic nature. The release of nanoparticles from electrodes, especially from graphene-based materials, can also lead to cytotoxicity. Therefore, understanding the interaction of these materials with biological systems and their potential degradation products is essential.
