Outline of Final Research Achievements

A newly developed DPA peptide-MOF swimmer with the HKUST-1 as a MOF motor, which can release the DPA peptides without the destruction of the framework via water exchange in pores for the creation of high surface tension gradient robustly. Due to this new DPA releasing scheme, the MOF can be recycled by refilling DPAs after one cycle of power generation is completed. Because of this improvement, the DPA-HKUST-1 swimming system can self-power the rotation of the macroscopic rotor for the generation of electric power.
