A self-actuating pump powered by BZ gel. (A) Schematic illustration of the pumps based on BZ gels. (B) Time profiles of the position of the oil level and average hue value of three BZ gels. (C) The self-actuating pump is connected with a microfluidic device. (D) Time profiles of the position of the oil level at the flow outlet. Outer solution: [MA] = 0.06 M; [NaBrO3] = 0.06 M; [HNO3] = 1.2 M at 20 °C.
