Chemically powered micro/nanorobots (CPMNRs) are self-propelling artificially engineered materials or machines designed with micro-to-nano precision, inspired by the self-migration of biomolecules and microorganisms. CPMNRs convert chemical external energy into mechanical motion, overcoming forces like Brownian diffusion viscosity. They created using top-down bottom-up approaches for applications in chemo-/biosensing, environmental remediation, molecular imaging, drug delivery. As self-mixing contaminated water accelerates remediation process, preferred as an ideal choice applications. Recent advancements multimodal propulsion technologies, material engineering, surface modifications have significantly enhanced capabilities CPMNRs, enabling them to navigate complex environments interact contaminants at level. This review highlights latest developments chemical-driven focusing on their use monitoring, pollutant detection, heavy metals, microplastics, organic soil. It also discusses prospects, sustainability fuels, biocompatibility, scalability large-scale deployment.
