a fluidic system becomes smaller, fluid pumping becomes more difficult because of the viscosity of the fluid. The viscosity causes pressure drops of up to several tens of kPa along the thin fluidic channels in practical systems. To date, various in situ fluid pumping methods to overcome this issue have been reported. [7] The Marangoni effect [8,9] is one of the most promising candidates for supplying a driving force for microfluidic manipulation. A so-called Marangoni flow is generated when a temperature gradient induces a surface tension differential that drags the neighboring liquid at a gas-liquid interface. The Marangoni flow becomes more prominent relative to flows induced by body forces such as gravity at the micrometer scale, at which the surface-to-volume ratio becomes large. It has been shown that the Marangoni effect can be used to pump discrete drops, [10,11] generate steady flow, [12,13] and manipulate microdroplets and bubbles [14,15] in microfluidic channels. In recent years, the development of thermoplasmonics has significantly improved the experimental controllability of Marangoni flows. [16] Because of the efficient plasmonic absorption of light by noble metal nanoparticles, these nanoparticles can be used as nanoheaters under light irradiation to generate temperature gradients on micro-and nanobubbles for generating the Marangoni flow [17,18] and controlling it over time. [19] The generation of the bubbles and Marangoni flow is also known to be useful for printing and sintering noble metal particles on a substrate. [20] Those particles dispersed in a liquid are collected under the bubble by Marangoni flow and sintered to form conductive lines. Such a technique is ideal for the fabrication of printed flexible electronics. [21,22] In addition, laser spots on a 2D array of nanoparticles can be used as a thin and spatio-temporally flexible heat source to control microbubble generation and Marangoni flow [23] for particle sorting, [24] particle focusing, [25] nano deposition, [26] and biosensing. [27] Despite these successful demonstrations, the Marangoni effect has not yet been widely applied for stable and rapid microfluid pumping. This is mainly because of the difficulty of controlling the temperature distribution at the gas-liquid interface, which the Marangoni flow is very sensitive to. Under continuous heating, the geometry of the gas-liquid interface is often unexpectedly modified by the evaporation of the liquid and the diffusion of dissolved gases through the interface.
