title: Cycling of a Lithium-Ion Battery with a Silicon Anode Drives Large Mechanical Actuation.
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 LiFePO4||Si full battery with a rapid response while the driving voltage is lower than 4 V.
