Carbide-derived Carbon-based Actuators

Non-faradaic charge storage mechanism, where chemisorbed ions reside on porous electrode to form an electrochemical double-layer (EDL) holds a great potential not only in EDL capacitor applications, but also actuator applications.Carbide-derived carbon (CDC), also known as tunable nanoporous carbon, is the common term for carbon materials derived from carbide precursors, such as binary carbides (e.g. SiC, TiC). When the porous carbon-based electrode is immersed into an electrolyte solution (i) or electrolyte is introduced into the porous carbon material (ii), charge is accumulated at the interface due to the presence of mobile electronic and ionic charge carriers.
