1 Introduction Synthetic active materials, also known as micro/nanomotors, can harvest energy from their environment and transform it into mechanical forces for self-propulsion.[1, 2] These materials have potential applications in transport and manipulation at microscopic length scales, such as drug delivery, local triggering of enzymatic systems, and water purification.[3, 4] Extensive research has been done on synthetic active particles, including the self-propulsion of colloids driven by...
