Abstract
. The efficient motion of the motors greatly enhances the interaction between UCNPs and the quenching substrate and improves the uric acid detection efficiency. Overall, such a platform using uric acid simultaneously as the detected substrate and motion fuel offers considerable promise for developing multifunctional micro/nanomotors for a variety of bioassay and biomedical applications.
