However, pristine cellulose generally exhibits limited ionic conductivity and insufficient electrochemical activity. Herein, we developed a multifunctional ionic soft actuator based on carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (CCNC), ionic liquid (IL), and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) using a solution-casting and electrode-coating strategy. The composite membranes were fabricated by sequentially incorporating IL and varying concentrations of AMPS (0.2 and 0.4 wt%) into a CCNC matrix, followed by solution-casting and PEDOT/PSS electrode deposition. AMPS plays a dual role by inducing ordered cellulose nanochannels for ion transport and providing sulfonic groups for proton hopping, thereby enhancing ionic conductivity. The optimized CCNC-IL-AMPS (0.4) actuator delivers a large tip displacement of 8.38 mm under 1.5 V, representing an increase of approximately 139% compared with the CCNC-IL actuator, along with stable bidirectional bending and excellent durability over 120 min. Beyond actuation, the system demonstrates integrated self-sensing capability with outstanding linearity, <i>R</i>² = 0.9965 for displacement and 0.9953 for micro-force, ascribed to the strain-modulated ionic redistribution at the PEDOT/PSS interfaces. Practical applicability is validated through real-time monitoring of human activities including wrist flexion, swallowing, coughing, and respiration. This CCNC-IL-AMPS platform provides a sustainable strategy for unifying high-performance actuation and sensitive perception, showing great potential for applications in soft robotics, wearable electronics, and human–machine interfaces.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"61 44","pages":"34859 - 34875"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149163114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, scandium doping and tensile strain engineering are investigated as electronic and structural modification strategies for improving CO₂ capture and separation in two-dimensional C₁₂N₈ nanosheets, using combined DFT and GCMC simulations. The results show that Sc doping is the dominant factor governing the enhanced CO₂ adsorption and separation performance. Sc atoms act as strong cationic centers, substantially increasing the framework polarity and providing primary electrostatic adsorption sites for CO₂ molecules. In contrast, tensile strain alone does not improve the CO₂ uptake of pristine C₁₂N₈. For Sc-doped C₁₂N₈, tensile strain flattens the lattice topology and enlarges the accessible pore volume, thereby increasing CO₂ adsorption capacity; however, this improvement occurs at the expense of separation selectivity. Specifically, the highest CO₂ uptake of 8.19 mmol g⁻¹ is achieved for Sc-C₁₂N₈-5% at 298 K and 1 bar, whereas the highest CO₂/N₂ and CO₂/CH₄ selectivities of 369 and 468 under dry gas conditions, respectively, are obtained for unstrained Sc-C₁₂N₈. These findings reveal a clear capacity–selectivity trade-off: Sc doping primarily enhances both CO₂ uptake and selectivity through strong electrostatic interactions, while tensile strain further promotes CO₂ packing in Sc-doped systems but weakens selective separation.
