In this study, the actuation performance of carbon nanoscroll (CNS) was experimentally characterized by measuring the diameter change of the CNS. When the voltage was applied to the system, the electrical double layer on the surface of CNS let the apparent diameter of the scroll increase significantly. Changes of the CNS diameter due to ion intercalation were quantified in real-time using atomic force microscope equipment.
