In this study, a novel ionic electroactive actuator based on carboxylated bacterial cellulose is reported, which exhibits superior electro-chemo-mechanical properties due to the interaction of ionic liquid, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and PEDOT: PSS electrodes. The actuator demonstrates large bending deformation, low actuation voltage, excellent actuation durability, high Young's modulus, and specific capacitance.
Human-friendly electronic devices including medical active devices, soft haptic devices, artificial muscle, and wearable electronics, will require the use of high-performance soft actuators with bio-friendly property, large bending deformation, and low actuation voltage. Herein, we report a novel ionic electroactive actuator based on carboxylated bacterial cellulose (CBC), ionic liquid (IL), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and PEDOT: PSS electrodes. The designed actuator displayed superior electro-chemo-mechanical properties due to its ionic crosslinking structure formed by the strong ionic interactions among CBC, MWCNT, and IL. Specifically, the actuator demonstrated large bending strain (8.2 mm under 1.0 V sinusoidal input voltage at 0.1 Hz), low actuation voltage (< 2 V), excellent actuation durability (95% retention in 2 h), high Young's modulus (349.1 MPa), and specific capacitance (76.97 mF cm(-2)). More importantly, the artificial soft robotic fingers using the CBC-IL-MWCNT actuators were successfully realized. Therefore, the designed actuator will promote the advancement of artificial muscles, soft haptic devices, biomimetic robots, soft robots, wearable devices, and tactile devices.
