Chemotaxis is observed outside living systems for the first time, by using the catalytic PtAu
nanorods with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in gel as an attractant. By combining the Brownian rotation
(tumbling) and the powered diffusion (straight swimming), the rods migrate toward higher H2O2
region, while maintaining randomness. An alternative mechanism is suggested, in which memory is
not required, as compared to bacterial chemotaxis. With this concept, we can direct the movement of
nanomotors by chemical gradient.

Ag reacts with H2O2 under the illumination of UV light and generates chemical concentration gradient, which is able to power the movement of a colloidal particle. This movement is controllable by adjusting the UV intensity. UV

overall movement
•Colloid-Ag particles agglomerate at UV spot
•Colloid-Ag agglomeration follows UV
Objective: Control the direction of nano/micro-sized motors’ movement, by either chemotaxis or phototaxis.
• New photo-responsive micromotor has been designed. UV stimulates the movement of the functionalized colloidal particles, and induces reversible pattern formation.
• Mechanism of phototaxis will be investigated in more detail and a mathematical model developed.• Principle of chemotaxis could be generalized and extended to broader applications.

• Sensor for H2O2 based on electrokinetic decomposition by catalytic Au/Ag micro cantilever.
• Ag - Au junction patterned selectively on the free standing edge of a silicon microcantilever.
• Cantilever experiences forces resulting from electroosmotic fluid flow due to H2O2 decomposition.
• Sensor response quantified: Changes in catalytic forces vs. concentration of H2O2
Cantilever Sensor Based on Catalytically Produced Electrokinetic Forces [2]
Jeffrey M. Catchmark1 and Shyamala Subramanian2
• Pt-Au/ H2O2 system : Spatially localized catalytic reactions can produce ion gradients driving electroosmotic and electrophoretic forces
• Electrokinetic effects drive autonomous nano/micro-sized motors and fluid pumps
• Current research gains control over motor/fluid-pumping direction, transport and steering of colloidal cargo, optimizing motor design for enhanced performance

• Req: Equivalent sphere radius of a rod or a rod-sphere doublet is the radius of a sphere which has the same drag coefficient.
• The lower (higher) values correspond to rods of 2.5 (3.2) μm length. (Metal segments : 1.2 μm each, PPy length: 0.1 μm to 0.8 μm).
• Experimentally observed doublet speeds, normalized to the speeds of bare rods, closely track the ratio of the corresponding equivalent sphere sizes, except for a larger than expected mobility of the doublets with the largest cargo.
• Surface potential tailored by patterning carboxyl (-60mV) and amine (50mV) terminated SAMs
• Colloidal tracers used to observe switching in the direction of the fluid flow
• Future: Creation of fluidic and molecular sorting devices.
