Description:

(abstract)

Here, we present the concept of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using microrobots: tiny autonomous devices possessing propulsion and photocatalytic abilities. The microrobots were derived from black TiO2 (bTiO2) material that provided the photocatalytic properties that contributed not only to successful lightinduced propulsion but also to the activity towards HER. In the next step, the decoration with magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) enabled the navigation of microrobots (mag-bTiO2 microrobots) in a magnetic field to enhance overall propulsion abilities and to allow their collection and consecutive reusability.
