Electrochemical mechanics of metal thin films: charge-induced reversible surface stress for actuation

The intrinsic charge‐induced surface stress of Ni thin films during electrochemical reactions with an alkaline electrolyte is measured in situ. Surface stresses induced by H absorption/desorption, α‐Ni(OH)2 formation, capacitive double‐layer charging, the α‐ to β‐Ni(OH)2 transformation, and β‐Ni(OH)...
