The sustainable application of cellulose nanofibers and ionic liquids (ILs) in the fabrication of transparent gel electrolyte actuators combined with thin electrodes remains to be explored. Accordingly, this study developed a new actuator on the basis of a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical-oxidized cellulose nanofibers/IL/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (TOCN/IL/PDMS) transparent gel electrolyte. A casting method was employed to prepare the gel electrolyte film, and spray-coating was used to apply thin electrodes. On the basis of its electromechanical and electrochemical properties, the TOCN/IL/PDMS gel electrolyte actuator had high strain performance. The actuator's operational mechanism is based on both electrostatic double-layer capacitor (EDLC) and Faradaic capacitor mechanisms, with the EDLC mechanism having a stronger influence. The actuator's displacement-response frequency dependency was determined, and we simulated the obtained findings by using a double-layer charging kinetic model. The combined gel electrolyte and electrode resistance resulted in a favorable fit to the experimental data, as did the gel electrolyte resistance alone. The performance of the TOCN/IL/PDMS-electrolyte-based polymer actuators can be improved further by designing electrolytes (primarily) and electrodes to have high ionic and electrical conductivities. The films-which are flexible, robust, and transparent-may have potential as actuator materials within electronic and energy-conversion devices that are required to be wearable and transparent. |
