Abstract

Electro-responsive vesicles were demonstrated based on an amphiphilic block copolymer PEO114-b-P(DCH-Ru)n and an inorganic nanoparticle polyoxometalate H3PMo12O40 (PMo12) via electrostatic interactions. After undergoing electrochemical reactions, vesicle membranes allow the migration of electrolyte ions and release of loaded cargos.
