▎ 摘  要

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) papers prepared by simple self-assembly process were used as electrode material for the fabrication of bimorphic electrical actuators. Initially, the structural studies of the rGO paper confirmed the formation of graphitic structure. The ionic gel electrolyte was prepared separately and used to couple the two rGO paper electrodes. This forms the tri-layered structure as an actuator, the displacement was measured by varying the applied potential with respect to time. The actuation properties were extended for both photon as well as electronic conducting gel electrolyte. The experimental results suggest that the flexible rGO paper can be used for electronic actuators. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
