Abstract: A non‐mechanical, self‐powered pillar[5]arene multilayer film‐based micropump was utilised to establish flow‐based detection of micropollutants. The host‐guest interaction between pillar[5]arene and micropollutants turned on fluid flow inside the micropump chamber. We also demonstrate the comparison of fluid pumping velocity of 2 model micropollutants – bisphenol‐A and 2‐naphthol based on thermodynamic as well as numerical modelling. The fluid pumping velocity depends on the concentration of micropollutant solution as well as the number of bilayers of the host multilayer film.
