Aims/Purpose: Nanomaterial based bioelectronics have been effectively developed as optoelectronic bio-interfaces for neural stimulation and can be fabricated from diverse substances to adapt to cellular environments. In this study, we employed silver bismuth sulfide (AgBiS2) quantum dot (QD)-based neural interfaces stimulated by near-infrared light. Methods: Primary neuron isolation and culture on AgBiS2 QD based photovoltaic device and indium tin oxide (ITO) control device was performed. Cell viability was assessed by CTG, MTT, Live/Dead assay and LDH leakage assays. Cellular stress with light stimulation was assessed by measuring intracellular reactive oxygen species. Cell specific biomarkers, NeuN, beta-III Tubulin and F-actin, were examined by immunofluorescence staining to demonstrate short- and long-term morphological changes and neural network improvements. Number of neuron count and neurite length measurement were analyzed to compare groups. Under light stimulation (λ = 780 nm), neural dynamics and electrophysiological activity were examined through intracellular calcium flow and patch clamp. Results: Throughout the 14-day culture period, neurons remained healthy and viable, preserving their characteristics and forming extensive networks with neurite outgrowth on both the device and ITO. Light stimulation was found to have no adverse effects on viability or intracellular stress levels. The device demonstrated successful photostimulation of neurons with calcium release and generating action potential under 780 nm light illumination which is validating its potential to be used as optoelectronic bio-interfaces for neural applications. Conclusions: Our study holds high potential for the development of QD-based retinal prosthesis, enabling near infrared light-controlled activation in vision related diseases.
