Abstract

Micromotors convert energy from their surroundings into mechanical motion, enabling them to perform various tasks, such as cargo delivery, biosensing, and environmental remediation. Multi-drive micromotors are highly desirable since they can utilize more energy and harness a wider range of energy forms, benefiting the precise motion control and the practical applications. Herein, we report a simple method to fabricate dual-drive hybrid PS@Fe₃O₄@Pt-PS micromotor by swelling and selective surface modification of polymeric colloids. The micromotors are powered by two energy sources, chemical reaction and magnetic field. The well-controlled motions of such hybrid micromotors are demonstrated.
