Electrical stimulation(ES)can restore motor function after spinal cord injury(SCI).However,traditional intraspinal ES has many disadvantages,such as the need for a complex circuitry device,an external power source,and a second surgery to remove the implant.Piezoelectric materials have received increasing at-tention due to their potential to convert ambient mechanical energy into ES without an external power source or implantation of electrodes.Herein,a novel polydopamine(PDA)coated barium titanate(BaTiO3)nanoparticles(BaTiO3@PDA)incorporated silk fibroin(SF)hydrogel(SFBT)was established.The SFBT hy-drogel was crosslinked by horseradish peroxidase(HRP)/hydrogel peroxide(H2O2)to integrate the piezo-electric potency of BaTiO3 with the thermal sensitivity of HRP/H2O2 for SCI recovery.The hydrogel con-taining 5％(w/v)BaTiO3@PDA nanoparticles(SFBT-5),which was selected for in vivo study,exhibited a short gelation time(5 min),suitable storage modulus(925±35 Pa),and wireless ES(average current of 124 nA).Moreover,Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan(BBB)scores test and footprint analysis demonstrated that the SFBT-5 hydrogel successfully enhanced motor functional recovery of SCI.In histopathological assess-ments,the SFBT-5 hydrogel significantly accelerated spinal cord healing,as indicated by smaller lesion cavities(～16.7％of the SCI group).Meanwhile,the SFBT-5 hydrogel accelerated neurogenesis,facilitated axon regrowth and synapse formation,and promoted remyelination.Overall,this study highlights the potential of piezoelectric hydrogels for SCI regeneration.
