A kind of binary Ni-Mn oxide (Ni₆MnO₈) micromotors were prepared by hydrothermal method followed by high-temperature annealing. The obtained binary Ni-Mn oxides showed obvious needle-punched shapes and hollow structures that can be used as micromotors. These binary Ni-Mn oxide micromotors displayed powerful propulsion at a low fuel level (H₂O₂ mass fraction: 1%), with a speed of over 83.75 μm·s^-1 and a long lifetime of up to 90 min. Even in an extremely low mass fraction of H₂O₂ (0.4%), the micromotors could also perform excellent autonomous locomotion. Due to the presence of Ni oxide, the micromotors could perform the directional movement by magnetic manipulation. Benefiting from excellent catalytic and magnetic properties, the obtained Ni₆MnO₈ micromotors could effectively remove methylene blue within 160 s by adsorption without secondary pollution.
