Abstract
Surface‐charge‐induced reversible and millimeter‐scale deflection is found in a bilayered Ni cantilever upon cyclic potential triggering. The nanowire‐forest structure, in which unidirectional primary nanowires are evenly separated by cross‐linking subnanowires, ensures fast ion transport leading to a record‐high strain response time ≈0.1 s. The actuation is sustainable beyond 800 cycles; the strain energy is compatible with human skeletal muscles.
