Figure 1

Sketch of the setup used for our experiments, analogous to the setup by Kim and colleagues31. A cantilevered ionomer membrane is positioned between two graphite electrodes. The assembly is immersed in a salt solution. A voltage is applied across the electrodes to create an electric field that elicits the deformation of the membrane. A laser displacement sensor is used to measure the tip displacement of the membrane.
