Motion Control of Micro-/Nanomotors

As we progress towards employing self-propelled micro-/nanomotors in envisioned applications such as cargo delivery, environmental remediation, and therapeutic treatments, precise control of the micro-/nanomotors direction and their speed is essential. In this Review, major emerging approaches utilized for the motion control of micro-/nano-motors have been discussed, together with the lastest publications describing these approaches. Future …

Iridium-Catalyst-Based Autonomous Bubble-Propelled Graphene Micromotors with Ultralow Catalyst Loading

A novel concept of an iridium-based bubble-propelled Janus-particle-type graphene micromotor with very high surface area and with very low catalyst loading is described. The low loading of Ir catalyst (0.54at%) allows for fast motion of graphene microparticles with high surface area of 316.2m(2)g(-1). The micromotor was prepared with a simple and scalable method by thermal …
