Abstract

An alginate based Janus particle, depicted as a floating sphere, contains Prussian blue as a bifunctional catalyst, decomposing hydrogen peroxide into oxygen bubbles, and catalyzing simultaneously the chemiluminescent reaction of luminol. This asymmetric character leads to a buoyancy driven periodic up and down motion of such a light emitting microswimmer. More details can be found in article number 1902094 by Adeline Perro, Alexander Kuhn, and co-workers.
