摘要 Micro/nanomachines have attracted extensive attention in the biomedical and environmental fields for realizing functionalities at small scales.However,they have been rarely investigated as active nanocatalysts.Heterogeneous nanocatalysts have exceptional reusability and recyclability,and integration with magnetic materials enables their recovery with minimum loss.Herein,we propose a model active nanocatalyst using magnetic nanomotor ensembles(MNEs)that can degrade contaminants in an aqueous solution with high catalytic performance.MNEs composed of a magnetite core coated with gold nanoparticles as the nanocatalyst can rotate under the action of a programmable external field and carry out rapid reduction of 4-nitrophenol(4-NP).The hydrogen bubbles generated in the catalytic reaction provide random perturbations for the MNEs to travel in the reaction solution,resulting in uniform processing.The reduction can be further boosted by irradiation with near-infrared(NIR)light.Magnetic field induces the rotation of the MNEs and provides microstirring in the catalysis.Light enhances the catalytic activity via the photothermal effect.These MNEs are also capable of moving to the targeted region through the application of a programmable magnetic field and then process the contaminant in the targeted region.We expect that such magnetic MNEs may help better in applying active heterogeneous nanocatalysts with magnetic field and light-enhanced performance in industrial applications due to their advantages of low material cost and short reaction time.
