Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries with a Si anode can drive large mechanical actuation by utilizing the dramatic volume changes of the electrode during the charge/discharge cycles. A large loading of more than 10 MPa can be actuated by a LiFePO<sub>4</sub> ||Si full battery with a rapid response while the driving voltage is lower than 4 V.
