Pencil-Drawn Generator Built-in Actuator for Integrated Self-Powered/Visual Dual-Mode Sensing Functions and Rewritable Display.

ABSTRACT: Multifunctionality is important to the development of next-generation actuators and intelligent robots. However, current multi-functional actuating systems are achieved based on the integration of diverse functional units with complex design, especially lacking in multi-mode sensing and displaying functions. Herein, a light-driven actuator integrated with self-powered/visual dual-mode sensing functions and rewritable display function is proposed. The actuator demonstrates a bending curvature of 0.93 cm^-1 under near-infrared light irradiation. Meanwhile, by embedding a pencil-drawn graphite generator and thermochromic materials, the actuator also provides two independent sensing functions. First, owing to the photo-thermoelectric effect of graphite, the actuator spontaneously out
