Conductive silk fibroin material, and preparation method and use thereof

A method for preparing a conductive silk fibroin material, comprising steps of:

• (1) uniformly mixing an aqueous silk fibroin solution and a low molecular monohydric alcohol and forming into a three-dimensional water-insoluble silk fibroin material, wherein in the aqueous silk fibroin solution, the concentration of silk fibroin is 30-70 mg/mL, the molecular weight of silk fibroin is 8000-14000 Da, and the weight ratio of silk fibroin to the low molecular monohydric alcohol is 100-1000:1;
• (2) immersing the silk fibroin material into an aqueous solution of a strong base with pH>14 to treat the silk fibroin material for 0.1-5 seconds, taking out and immersing the silk fibroin material in an aqueous solution of 0.1-1 mol/L reductive weak acid and/or reductive weak acid salt to treat the silk fibroin material for 1-10 minutes;
• (3) immersing the treated silk fibroin material of the step (2) in a 0.1-1 mol/L aqueous potassium permanganate solution to treat it at 15-30° C. for 10 minutes or less to obtain a surface-oxidized silk fibroin material;
• and
• (4) immersing the surface-oxidized silk fibroin material in a peroxide aqueous solution and then adding 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and reacting at 20-30° C. to allow for polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene on the surface of the silk fibroin material, to obtain the conductive silk fibroin material after the reaction is completed.
