Abstract

High quality three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) nickel photonic crystals (PCs) are fabricated using the polystyrene template-assisted electrodeposition method on nickel alloy substrate. The Ni 2+ in solution will firstly arrive in the electrode (nickel alloy substrate) and occupy the interstices among the PS template spheres; when enlarge the deposition time to 5 min, 3DOM nickel PCs will be achieved. The 3DOM nickel PCs grow firmly on the substrate due to the similar bounds between the PCs and substrate. Excellent mechanical properties are observed in the 3DOM nickel PCs, which may promote the practical applications of PCs.
