Summary: Self-powered micromachines, specifically light-powered Janus microrobots, are of great interest for environmental remediation due to their ability to move and degrade pollutants in water using light. In this study, Janus microrobots made of hematite and Pt were investigated, with thicker Pt layers resulting in higher propulsion speeds. However, higher consumption of H2O2 for propulsion led to lower efficiency in degrading pollutants using the photo-Fenton mechanism, emphasizing that speed is not the only factor to consider in water purification applications.

Summary: Self-powered photodetectors are crucial for passive monitoring networks and interactive intelligent platforms. This study utilizes a bromine doped n-type SnSe thermoelectric single crystal as the core element, combined with the Ag/SnSe:Br/ITO structure, to achieve low-temperature enhanced photodetection performance through the thermo-phototronic effect. The response current and voltage of the device increase by 139% and 696%, respectively, when the temperature decreases from 300 K to 100 K. Additionally, the responsivity and specific detectivity at 100 K are 7.95 and 2.74 times higher than at 300 K, respectively, indicating enhanced output performance at low temperatures due to accelerated photogenerated electrons through the thermoelectric effect. This work presents a simple structure and low-temperature enhanced photodetectors.
