Abstract
The active motion of phoretic colloids leads them to accumulate at boundaries and interfaces. Such an excess accumulation, with respect to their passive counterparts, makes the dynamics of phoretic colloids particularly sensitive to the presence of boundaries and pave new routes to externally control their single particle as well as collective behavior. Here we review some recent theoretical results about the dynamics of phoretic colloids close to and adsorbed at fluid interfaces in particular highlighting similarities and differences with respect to solid-fluid interfaces.
