We report a dynamic self-organization of self-propelled peanut-shaped hematite motors from non-equilibrium driving forces where the propulsion can be triggered by blue light. They result in one-dimensional, active colloid ribbons with a positive phototactic characteristic. The motion of colloid motors is ascribed to the diffusion-osmotic flow in a chemical gradient by the photocatalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide fuel. We show that self-propelled peanut-shaped colloids readily form one-dimensional, slithering ribbon structures under the out-of-equilibrium collisions. This self-organization intrinsically results from the competition among the osmotically driven motion, the phoretic attraction and the inherent magnetic moments. The giant size number fluctuation in colloid ribbons is observed above a critical point 4.1% of the surface density of colloid motors. Such phototactic colloid ribbons may provide a model system to understand the emergence of function in biological systems and have potential to construct bioinspired active materials based on different active building blocks.
