Simple-Structured Micromotors Based on Inherent Asymmetry in Crystalline Phases: Design, Large-Scale Preparation, and Environmental Application

The key principle of designing a micro/nanomotor is to introduce asymmetry to a micro/nanoparticle. However, micro/nanomotors designed based on external asymmetry and inherent chemical and geometrical asymmetry usually suffer from tedious small-scale preparation, high cost, and/or complexity of external power and control devices, making them face insurmountable hurdles in practical applications. Herein, considering the possible distinct...
