Abstract

Compared to traditional actuators (such as piezoelectric ceramics), metal actuators possess the advantages of a low energy consumption, large strain amplitude, and high strain energy density. However, most of the existing metal actuators with an excellent comprehensive performance are composed of precious metals, which are limited by high costs and have almost no possibility for large-scale production in the future. This study focuses on non-precious metal materials and exploits a one-step chemical dealloying method to prepare bulk nanoporous (NP) CoCuAl actuators (NP-CCA) from Al70Co20Cu10 alloy. The microstructure and actuation properties of the NP-CCA were analyzed in detail. The dense continuous nanoscale pores provide an excellent network connectivity for a large strain response, enabling the NP-CCA to achieve a strain amplitude of up to 1.19% (more than eight and two times that of NP-Pt and NP-Ag, respectively), comparable to precious metal actuators. In addition, the NP-CCA possesses a high strain energy density, which is prominent in many precious metal actuation materials (such as NP-Au, NP-Ag, and NP-Pt).
