This work presents a simple method to create photonic microstructures via the natural evaporation of surfactant-laden colloidal sessile droplets on flat substrate. In absence dissolved surfactant, evaporating droplet forms well-known coffee ring deposition. contrast, presence surfactant leads formation multiple structures due repetitive pinning-depinning behavior contact line (CL). It is found that multiring structure shows vibrant iridescent structural colors while lacks nature. difference in color for and be dependent arrangement particles deposition structure.

Abstract Electrochromic devices (ECDs) have attracted substantial attention on account of their unique characteristics and prosperous applications. However, monotonous color modification remains a momentous challenge that significantly restricts application scope. Integrating structural colors arise from the interaction between light periodic micro/nanostructures with electrochromic materials (ECMs) turns out to be an effective approach enhancing comprehensive performance ECDs more than coloration effectiveness. This review provides overview recent burgeoning development regarding strategies The parameters physical principles generation are introduced. Then, introduce into discussed according category chromogenic micro/nanostructures, namely, gratings, (single‐layer multilayer) thin films, photonic crystals, plasmonic metasurfaces, composite structures. current state‐of‐the‐art research activities for display including segmented pixelated also presented. Additionally, future perspective respect major challenges potential solutions is proposed.

Abstract Structural colors have been regarded as an ideal alternative to pigments because of the advantages environmental friendliness, resistance fading, especially in fields textile dyeing and printing, which is highly polluted traditional ways needs be upgraded. They are generated by interaction between micro/nano structure material surface incident light, closely related sizes periods structures. Based on different nano arrangements, structures can roughly divided into photonic crystals non‐photonic crystals. In this review, we summarized recent research progress structural coloration fibers textiles. Learning from nature, researchers proposed various methods fabricate biomimetic colors, applications colored textiles were extended. The challenges perspectives also presented. Hopefully, reference for design preparation color‐based inspired.

Abstract Engineering or mimicking living materials found in nature has the potential to transform use of materials. Unlike classic synthetic which are typically optimized for static properties, economics, and recently also sustainability, life dynamic, feedback‐controlled, evolving, adaptive. Although do not exhibit such complicated functionalities, researchers increasingly challenging this viewpoint expanding material concepts toward dynamic systems inspired by selected life‐like functions. Herein, it is suggested that can be approached from two perspectives: through engineering biological organisms their functions provide basis new materials, producing with rudimentary life‐inspired Current advances discussed perspectives (i) features based on built‐in memory associative learning, (ii) emergent structures self‐regulated designs using non‐equilibrium systems, (iii) interfacing non‐living form cellular community control growth open routes fabrication.

While structural coloration has captured considerable interests across different areas in the past decades, development of macroscopic objects with tailorable colors remains a challenge due to difficulty large-scale fabrication finely ordered nanostructures and poor processability their constituent materials. In this work, type photonic granular hydrogel is developed as novel printable ink for constructing customized colored objects. The magnetochromatic exhibits dynamic properties such shear thinning self-healing, enabling direct writing patterns by extrusion 3D printing. Further, modularity allows additive color mixing, which obviates need arduous nano-synthesis expands on abundance materials simple yet efficient manner. These characteristics grant inks great applicability variety fields including switchable displays, sensors, etc.

Unlike absorption-based colors of dyes and pigments, reflection-based photonic crystals, so called "structural colors", are responsive to external stimuli, but can remain unfaded for over ten million years, therefore regarded as a next-generation coloring mechanism. However, it is challenge rationally design the spectra structural colors, where one structure gives only reflection peak defined by Bragg's law, unlike those colors. Here, we report reconfigurable crystal that exhibits single-peak double-peak This composed colloidal nanosheet in water, which spontaneously adopts layered with single periodicity (407 nm). After temperature-gradient treatment, segregates into two regions shrunken (385 nm) expanded (448 periodicities, thus double peaks blue- red-shifted from original one, respectively. Notably, transition between states reversible.
