The electromechanical properties of poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly (styrene sulfonate), (PEDOT/
PSS)-coated cellulose paper are investigated by varying the weight of PEDOT/PSS and frequencies of applied voltages.
Through simple conformal coating, different weight of conductive PEDOT/PSS papers were fabricated and exhibited
electromechanical actuation with stress generation controlled by low alternating applied voltage in ambient air. The
dependence of electromechanical actuation on the weight of PEDOT/PSS and the frequency of the applied voltage are
determined. The repeatability of the actuation is confirmed by generation of a stable stress more than 2000 times under
ambient conditions. Furthermore, the PEDOT/PSS paper underwent intensive bending/unbending motion and showed a
dependence on relative humidity. The present study suggests that PEDOT/PSS papers can be highly scalable for highperformance
electromechanical devices in ambient air.
