As a novel nano material with unique nanostructure and properties,carbon nanoparticles(CN Ps) show a great potential for biomedical material and energy applications.A new method of the automatic assembly of CNPs using light induced AC ele ctroosmotic(LI-ACEO) was proposed.Based on the theoretical analysis of CNPs in condition with a non-uniform electrical field,the theoretical model of the slip velocity and the frequency range of the pull-in AC voltage was established and derived with the optimal frequency of 1 kHz.Furthermore,the entire spatial distribution of the velocity caused by the LI-ACEO was simulated utilizing commercial finite element simulation software Comsol Multiphysics.Combing the computer vision surveillance and the digital projection systems,the automatic assembly of CNPs system utilizing the LI-ACEO method was constructed.Our experimental results of 50 nm CNPs prove that LI-ACEO is very effective for automatic assembly and accumulation of CNPs with a amplitude of 3 V and a frequency of 1 kHz.In addition,the height of the assembly of CNPs structure is ~1 μm.The technology based on the LI-ACEO also shows important applications for CNPs manipulation,assembly,3D CNPs nano stru cture and nano sensor building.
