Graphene oxide induced enhancement of light-driven micromotor with biocompatible fuels

A highly efficient light-driven cuprous oxide @ graphene oxide (Cu2[email protected]) micromotor which can be propelled with various biocompatible fuels is described. The Cu2[email protected] micromotors, which achieve enhanced photocatalytic performance by doping Cu2O with GO, can be efficiently propelled by visible light and even near infrared light. Compared with conventional plain Cu2O micromotors, which can only be driven by visible light,...
