The increasing accumulation of persistent non-degradable microplastics in the marine environment represents aglobal environmental problem. Among emerging approaches totackle microplastics are micro- and nanomotors, tiny devicescapable of autonomous propulsion powered by chemical fuels orlight. These devices are capable of on-the-fly recognition, capture,and decomposition of pollutants. In the past, various micromotorswere designed to efficiently remove and degrade soluble organicpollutants. Current effort is given to the rational design and surfacefunctionalization to achieve micromotors capable of capturing,transporting, and releasing microplastics of different shapes andchemical structures. The catalytic micromotors performing photocatalysis and photo-Fenton chemistry hold great promise for thedegradation of most common plastics. In this review, we highlight recent progress in thefield of micromotors for microplasticstreatment. These tiny self-propelled machines are expected to stimulate a quantum leap in environmental remediation.
