Abstract
A novel autonomous micromotor, based on catalytically pneumatic behaviour of balloon-like MnO<inf>x</inf>-graphene crumples, has been synthesized via an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. Through catalytic decomposition of H <inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> into O<inf>2</inf>, the gas accumulated in a confined space and was released to generate a strong force to push the micromotor. © 2014 the Partner Organisations.
