Molecular-level methylcellulose/mxene hybrids with greatly enhanced electrochemical actuation by Chen, Shaohua, Ciou, Jing-Hao, Yu, Fei, Chen, Jian, Lv, Jian, Lee, Pooi See

“…Based on direct strain measurements, in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, the actuation enhancement can be ascribed to the enlarged layer distance allowing more water and ions to be intercalated/de-intercalated and MC-induced sliding of MXene sheets. The assembled soft actuator has a high Young's modulus of 1.93 GPa and can be operated in air, generating a peak-to-peak strain difference up to 0.541% under a triangular wave voltage of ±1 V and a blocking force of 4.7 times its own weight.…”
