Light-driven nanomotors and micromotors: envisioning new analytical possibilities for bio-sensing

Kaisong Yuan et al. Mikrochim Acta. .

Abstract

The aim of this conceptual review is to cover recent developments of light-propelled micromotors for analytical (bio)-sensing. Challenges of self-propelled light-driven micromotors in complex (biological) media and potential solutions from material aspects and propulsion mechanism to achieve final analytical detection for in vivo and in vitro applications will be comprehensively covered. Graphical abstract.

Keywords: Biomedicine; Janus particles, lab on a chip, visual detection, SERS; Light-propulsion; Micromotors; Nanomotors.
