Janus Micromotors: Surface Conductive Graphene‐Wrapped Micromotors Exhibiting Enhanced Motion (Small 38/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
S. Sanchez and co-workers delicately wrap a conductive 2D nanomaterial (reduced graphene oxide) around silica microparticles to fabricate surface-conductive Janus spherical micromotors. On page 5023, given the same H2O2 fuel concentration, the velocity of the new motors is increased by up to 100% compared to normal Janus spherical motors. The enhancement of velocity gives new hints and insights into the fundamental mechanism of Janus spherical micromotors. In addition, the design of these graphene-wrapped motors opens up applications from biomedicine to water remediation.
