Solid polymer electrolyte actuator using electrode reaction

摘要: Abstract A solid polymer electrolyte membrane, Nafion, plated with noble metal is known for the fast bending upon electric field. Since this composite contains water, applied voltage should be small enough such as 1 V in order to avoid water electrolysis, although its larger deflection demands higher voltage. Nafion copper–platinum electrodes on surfaces exhibited than that pure platinum 1 V. This owing electrode reaction of copper provides flux mobile Cu 2+ .
