Inspired by biological microswimmers, various types of artificial self-propelled particles have been developed and thoroughly characterized in recent years. While in most studies quiescent solvents or stationary flow fields were considered, much less is known about the behavior of synthetic microswimmers in more complicated flow environments as they often occur in biological systems under non-laboratory conditions. Here, we investigate the dynamics of self-propelling Janus particles in an evaporating droplet of hydrogen peroxide solution. The competition between the flows due to the evaporation and the active motion of the particles leads to a complex dynamical behavior. The system is analyzed using three-dimensional particle tracking measurements and numerical simulations of the nontrivial fluid flow within the evaporating droplet. It will also be discussed how the particle activity affects the coffee-ring formation in the final state of evaporation, where the orientation of the Janus particles introduces a new order parameter.
