▎ 摘  要

Functional materials with energy storage and conversion properties have been useful for actuating devices. Here, a new kind of torsional fiber-based actuator including graphene oxide (GO) and natural sodium alginate was prepared by traditional wet spinning and twisting methods, during which the fiber structure was reconstructed, and the mechanical energy was prestored. When the twisted GO/SA (graphene oxide/sodium alginate) fiber was stimulated by infrared light or moisture, the torsional structure of the fiber was activated instantaneously to generate rapid and reversible rotational motion, thus realizing the automatic release and re-storage process of rotational kinetic energy. In addition, the full revolutions of the twisted GO/SA fiber have no attenuation after 100 reversible rotations when stimulated by moisture, which proves the excellent rotational stability. Due to its excellent flexibility and wettability, the twisted GO/SA fiber can be woven into a network or prepared into a series of programmable intelligent devices, which is of great significance for future flexible intelligent electronic devices.
