Visible light driven nano/micro swimmers are promising candidates for different applications. However, the previous obtained mean squared displacement (MSD) values are low (up to 200 squared micrometers (10 s)) even under the favorable UV light illumination.[1,2] This is a severe drawback for the applications where the efficient transport of microswimmers is demanded.
We demonstrate AgCl based spherical Janus microswimmers reveal an efficient propulsion under blue (visible) light (λ=450-490 nm)illumination. The proper design of a AgCl based microswimmer can boost the MSD to 3000 squared micrometers (10 s) in pure H2O. We investigate the motion of individual Janus particles as well as their small (3-particles) and large (many particles) clusters. With experimental results and numerical simulations ( by Langevin equations), we provide an insight into the collective behavior of the Janus microswimmers surrounded by polystyrene (PS) beads.
