abstract = {An asymmetric gear with homogeneous surface properties is,
here, presented as a prototype to fabricate catalytic
microrotors. The driving torque arises from the
diffusiophoretic effect induced by the concentration
gradients generated by catalytic chemical reactions at the
gear surface. This torque produces a spontaneous and
unidirectional rotation of the asymmetric gear. By means of
mesoscopic simulations, we prove and characterize this
scenario. The gear rotational velocity is determined by the
gear-solvent interactions, the gear geometry, the solvent
viscosity, and the catalytic reaction ratio. Our work
presents a simple way to design self-propelled microrotors,
alternative to existing catalytic bi-component, or
thermophoretic ones.},
