研究目的
Investigating the UV light-controlled two-dimensional TiO2 plate micromotors for their potential applications in biomedical and energy fields.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates UV light-controlled two-dimensional TiO2 plate micromotors that can move in aqueous H2O2 solution without surfactants. The speed of the micromotors can be controlled by the intensity of the UV light, offering potential applications in biomedical and energy fields.
研究不足
The study is limited by the need for UV light to activate the micromotors, which may not be suitable for all applications. Additionally, the motion mechanism requires further optimization for practical applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs an anodic oxidation method combined with a cracking and separation process to fabricate 2D TiO2 micromotors. The photocatalytic activity of amorphous TiO2 under UV irradiation is utilized for motion control.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A Ti foil is used to fabricate TiO2 porous membrane. The solution used in anodizing process is a mixture of ethylene glycol, H3PO4, and HF.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
SEM (Hitachi S-4800), EDX analysis, XRD (Rigaku D/Max-RB diffractometer), optical microscope (Olympus BX51) with an integrated high-speed camera, UV light-emitting diode, optical power meter.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The Ti foil is sonicated and dried before anodizing. The anodizing process is performed at room temperature under a DC voltage. The obtained TiO2 porous membrane is then placed in ethanol and subjected to ultrasonication to divide it into small pieces.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The locomotion of micromotors is captured and analyzed using an optical microscope with a high-speed camera. The velocity of micromotors is measured under different UV light power densities and H2O2 concentrations.
