Planar 1D photonic crystals (1DPhCs), owing to their bandgaps (PBGs) formed by unique structural interference, are widely utilized in light protection applications. Multifunctional coatings that integrate various management functions highly desired. In this study, we present the fabrication of dual-PBG 1DPhCs with high reflectance both blue and near-infrared (NIR) regions. The were constructed through alternating stacking hollow SiO2 (HS) nanoparticles hybridized poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), referred as PHS, TiO2 layers. 1DPhC 7 bilayers demonstrated remarkable 98.2% 93.4% NIR spectra, respectively, shielding efficiencies 93.9% 85.6%. Compared bare PC, temperature was observed be 10.6 °C lower, achieving a thermal insulation efficiency 44.8% 900 nm range. Additionally, spectral fitting using transfer matrix method (TMM) optimization process parameters, including PHS concentration spin-coating speed, enabled tunable optical thickness ratios. fabricated films smooth surface morphology flat uniform interfaces, well excellent environmental stability. These features make promising for applications management. This study provides novel approach development enhanced protective capabilities.

The extraordinary properties of biological materials often result from their sophisticated hierarchical structures. Through multilevel and cross-scale structural designs, offset the weakness individual building blocks enhance performance at multiple length scales to match multifunctional needs organisms. One essential merit structure is that it can optimize interfacial features "building blocks" different scales, molecular level macroscale. Understanding roles material interfaces (BMIs) on determination functions has become a growing interdisciplinary research area in recent years. A pivotal aim these studies use BMIs as inspiration for developing bioinspired biomimetic devices with advanced structures functions. Given considerations, this review aims comprehensively discuss structure-property-function relationships nature. We particularly focus discussion inspired mechanical optical perspectives because two directions are most well-investigated closely related. challenges design fabrication BMI-inspired also discussed. This expected garner interest communities well environmental, nanotechnology, food processing, engineering fields.

With rapid advances in optoelectronics, electrochromic materials and devices have received tremendous attentions from both industry academia for their strong potentials wearable portable electronics, displays/billboards, adaptive camouflage, tunable optics, intelligent devices, etc. However, conventional typically present some serious limitations such as undesirable dull colors, long switching time, hindering deeper development. Optical resonators been proven to be the most powerful platform providing optical confinement controllable lightmatter interactions. They generate locally enhanced electromagnetic near-fields that can convert small refractive index changes into high-contrast color variations, enabling multicolor or even panchromatic tuning of materials. Here, resonant-cavity-enhanced an advanced emerging trend electrochromics, are reviewed. In this review, w e will focus on progress based different types applications, including multichromatic displays, visible visualized energy storage, applications multispectral tunability. Among these topics, principles resonators, related materials/devices properties comprehensively discussed summarized. Finally, challenges prospects presented.
