Then the weak acidity of H₂O₂ can trigger the disassembly and reassembly of the AuNPs, resulting in the Janus distribution of large AuNPs aggregates. Such reconstruction of JMPA leads to the contact between PtNPs and AuNPs aggregates, thus changing the propulsion mechanism to self-electrophoresis. The asymmetric and aggregated AuNPs also enable the generation of a thermal gradient under laser irradiation, which propels the JMPA nanomotors by self-thermophoresis. Such multi-phoretic propulsion offers considerable promise for developing advanced nanomachines with a stimuli-responsive switch of propulsion modes in biomedical applications.]]> Wed 02 Mar 2022 15:43:14 AEDT ]]>
