M+ and X£¿ represent positively and negatively charged ions, respectively. The blue color of the anode and purple color of the cathode represent the electrochromism effect occurring in the oxidized and reduced conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). c Chemical structure of PEDOT. d Chemical structure of heparin. e Chemical structure of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (NaDBS %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5583241/
