Abstract

The chemically powered nanowire model consisting of a catalytic and a noncatalytic nanowire confined in a cubic box is investigated. The interactions between nanowire and solvent are simulated using hybrid molecular dynamics/multiparticle collision dynamics. The motion of the nanowire is analyzed using rigid body dynamic. The effect of temperature and solvent concentration on the center-of-mass velocity of motor are provided. The center-of-mass velocity of the nanomotor along its axis increases with an increase of temperature and solvent concentration. The results are also compared with existed nanodimer model.
