Bone-Structure-Inspired Electrode
摘要
The successful application of ionic actuators in various demonstrations [1–10] underscores their significant potential in soft robotics. However, their current limitations in performance hinder broader practical applications, highlighting the need for further intensive research. Ionic actuators, consisting of two electrodes surrounding an electrolyte membrane, generate bending due to ion currents in the membrane. Therefore, the ideal electrode materials must possess several key properties: high electrical conductivity for fast response, large capacitance for enhanced bending, a substantial surface area for ion interaction, high porosity for efficient ion storage, and stability for long-term durability.
