Abstract:Self-sustained locomotion by virtue
of an internalized chemical
reaction is a characteristic feature of living systems and has inspired
researchers to develop such self-moving biomimetic systems. Here,
we harness a self-oscillating Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction,
a well-known chemical oscillator, with enhanced kinetics by virtue
of our graphene-based catalytic mats, to elucidate the spontaneous
locomotion of BZ reaction droplets. Specifically, our nanocatalysts
comprise ruthenium nanoparticle decorations o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
