Hyperspectral and Weather Resistant Biomimetic Leaf Enabled by Interlayer Confinement

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 34(45)

Published: July 6, 2024

Abstract Mimicking the characteristics and achieving specific functions of biological systems is stirring but challenging. Generally, pigments in commercial coating can only achieve a similarity chromaticity, while cannot obtain solar reflective spectrum whose difficulty resides simulating spectral simultaneously. Unfortunately, traditional organic show poor weather heat resistance. Herein, with little difference color (Δ E ab * ), high similarity, as well adjustable green peak similar red edge slope compared common plants (pagoda tree leaf, etc.) 400–2500 nm, also attained. It achieved by interlayer confined pigment Mg/Al‐layered double hydroxide (Mg/Al‐LDH) layers. The corresponding biomimetic leaf displays hyperspectral performance angle cosine 0.9922 resistance at 120 °C. longer than that mechanical mixing demonstrated. intercalated chromophores sodium copper chlorophyllin Mg/Al‐LDH confinement contribute to excellent performance. This work provides requiring same chromaticity plants, filling long‐term use demand gap for weather‐resistant vegetation.

Bio-inspiration offers researchers innovative perspectives and methodologies, stimulating the advancement of high-performance, high-durability, added-value materials, structures, products. Inspired by lightweight, high-strength, highly stable glass sponges (GSs), five types sponge lattice structures (GSLSs) were successfully designed manufactured selective laser melting (SLM) with Ti6Al4V. By conducting a comparative analysis unit cell design manufacturing deviations, we assess their impact on compressive properties GSLSs. Notably, original GSLS circle-/grid-like heterogeneous geometries exhibits outstanding overall compression performance, including stability, stress dispersion unique cell-by-cell layer-by-layer fracture mechanisms among GSLSs, which are attributable to reinforced diagonal struts cells. Hence, three strategies for optimization proposed. These discoveries guide future (LSs) offer potential applications GSLSs in aerospace, biomedicine, automobiles, architecture, wearable
