Abstract

Abstract : J. G. Guan and co‐workers demonstrate, on page 6173, a magnetically‐controlled pot‐like MnFe2 O4 micromotor with a simple single‐layered structure, fabricated via a facile and versatile growing bubble‐templated nanoparticle assembly approach. Due to their excellent magnetic properties, velocity and direction of motion is controllable via modulation of an external magnetic field. The high catalytic activity for O2 bubble production and surface‐hydrophobicity suggest direct applications in environmental oil removal.
