This study compares the mobility behaviour, in a H2O2 environment, of three different geometries of hybrid particle made of silica core functionalized by gold (nanoparticles or layer). It is known that the decomposition of H2O2 on gold surfaces drives mobility; however, the link between mobility orientation and the organization of gold on silica surfaces is still questionable. While conventional wisdom posits that asymmetric designs are crucial for generating phoretic forces or localized bubble propulsion, recent research suggests that symmetrical particles may also exhibit motility. To address this debate, we developed a robust workflow for synthesizing gold grafted silica nanoparticles with precise control over size and shape, enabling the direct comparison of their motile behaviour by dynamic light scattering and particle tracking velocimetry. Our results indicate, first, that a combination of techniques is necessary to overcome their intrinsic limitation and, second, that the inherent asymmetry generated by isotropic gold nanoparticle deposition onto silica surfaces may enable particle motility. |
