Abstract
Abstract In the past two decades, micro/nanomotor is emerging as a critical domain of nanoscale research. Light-driven micro/nanomotors have gained a wealth of attention from the academics because of their potential applications in various fields such as environment remediation, biomedical field and cargo delivery at microscale. In order to perform some more challenging and complex tasks, higher actuation force and more precise control are both indispensable for light-driven micro/nanomotors. In this review, we discussed about three major factors: actuation mechanism, structure of micro/nanomotors and the wavelength of light irradiation, to find out how to gain a higher actuation force and propel the motor in a relatively high speed under light irradiation. Besides, some common control strategies of light-driven micro/nanomotors are presented in details with the advantages and disadvantages of each control mechanism, which will help lead to a convenient and precise control. Finally, the future development approaches toward powerful thrust and precise control are discussed for light-driven micro/nanomotors.
