Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are a green resource which can produce photonic crystal films with structural colors in evaporation-induced self-assembly; CNC present unique that cannot be matched by other colored materials. Recently, the mechanisms of liquid structure were investigated to obtain homogenous, stable, and even flexible at large scale. To clarify mechanism colorful films, we briefly summarize recent advances from correlations among preparation methods, microstructures, color properties. We first discuss process CNCs, aiming realize application resources. Then, behavior CNCs formation phases is studied, considering influence CNCs’ size shape, surface properties, types concentrations solvents. Finally, film control during summarized, as well full color. In summary, above factors, obtaining reliable commercial requires comprehensive consideration subsequent processes starting CNCs.

Chiral architectures, one of the key structural features natural systems ranging from nanoscale to macroscale, are an infinite source inspiration for functional materials. Researchers have been, and still are, strongly pursuing goal constructing such structures with renewable sustainable building blocks via simple efficient strategies. With merits high sustainability, renewability, ability self-assemble into chiral nematic in aqueous suspensions that can be preserved solid state, polysaccharide nanocrystals (PNs) including cellulose (CNCs) chitin (ChNCs) offer opportunities reach target. We herein provide a comprehensive review focuses on development CNCs ChNCs use advanced First, introduction ChNCs, cellulose- chitin-formed organizations world, given. Then, self-assembly process PNs factors influencing this comprehensively discussed. After that, we showcased emerging applications self-assembled ChNCs. Finally, concludes perspectives challenges field.

Abstract One‐dimensional photonic crystals (1D PCs) emerged as superb sensing platforms due to their high sensitivity environmental changes. However, effectively translating the microscopic interactions between covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and analytes into macroscopic optical responses via 1D PCs for intuitive detection presents a significant challenge. Here, we propose stepwise‐induced synthesis strategy that first time achieves size‐controlled of uniform nanoscale COFs (60–80 nm), leading high‐quality COF layer. This advancement enables COF‐based exhibit diverse color variations controllable saturation. Notably, excellent compatibility layer with inorganic oxides, polymers, metal‐organic (MOFs) results in these exhibiting bright colors. Crucially, introducing mesoporous materials achieve deep integration adsorption recognition functions volatile compounds (VOCs). The fabricated COF/MOF PC allows differentiation 12 VOCs visually detects at different concentrations (0–80 g m − 3 ) through changes, response under 1 s. In particular, can be transferred flexible substrates while retaining VOC visual sensing. These attributes highlight potential real‐time monitoring industrial environments.
