Abstract

Micro/nanomotors tremendously progressed as a serious candidate in medical and environmental applications. They convert chemical energy to move, and they could act and perform differently to do missions that are favorable for diverse applications. The development of new materials is a key point for the design of micro/nanomotors, and graphene stands out as one of the most promising candidates for this purpose. Graphene has made a huge impact on diverse fields due to its unique properties, such as high mobility, effective fluorescence quenching capability, large surface area, great coupling with advanced materials, high electrical conductivity, and excellent mechanical strength. This review article reflects the features of graphene-based micro/nanomotors, fabrication methods, also propulsion mechanisms as a future opportunity for low-cost, high-performance material for proposed applications. © 2024
