This paper focuses on the synthesis processes and its application in water remediation. This mini review will highlight the great potential of these light powered micromotor as well as the significance of preparing them for environmental applications. Photocatalytic micromotors or light-powered micromotors have been intensively researched over the last several years for several applications, such as environmental remediation, biomedicine and micropumps. It has been found that conventional wastewater treatment is commercially inefficient in water remediation. The emphasis then was on a new solution of using micromotor as a potential replacement for water remediation. Many studies have been carried out over the years on the synthesis of these light-powered micromotors, which revolves around the materials used, and applications. This paper, therefore, reflects on the advancement of light-powered micromotors and will be concentrating on the synthesis processes and its application in water remediation. This mini-review will highlight the great potential of these light-driven micromotors as well as the significance of preparing them for environmental applications.}, title={Concise Review of Light-Driven Micromotor Synthesis and its Environmental Applications}, type={Article}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/133491/AMM-2024-4-01-Osman.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2024.151390}, keywords={Photocatalytic, light-powered, micromotor, synthesis, environmental application}, }
