Abstract
In recent years,a lot of attention has been paid onmicro/nanomotors for their potential use in micro-fluid,drug targeting, nano-sensors and pollution controlling.Most of the current micro/nanomotors are made ofpolymer or metallic materials which are difficult tomodify to satisfy various requirements. In this paper, aconical tubular micromotor which is composed of doublelayers of mesostructured silica and zinc, is proposedusing template electrochemical deposition method. Thepropulsion characteristics of micromotors are determinedfor different metallic materials. The mesostructuredstructures of micromotors are identified by EnergyDispersive X-ray (EDX), and Scanning ElectronMicroscope (SEM).
