Abstract
Natural amorphous photonic crystals benefit from reflectance at selective wavelengths in some specific existing natural systems. Noniridescence from natural organisms has also attracted great interest for various examples in bionic colors, pigments, and paintings. Here, Air@C@TiO2 sphere was obtained by the first calcination of PS@TiO2 core-shell nanoparticles in nitrogen to ensure the integrity of the shell structure followed by low-temperature calcination to obtain the appropriate color saturation. We demonstrate that, compared with the prepared colored PS@TiO2/carbon black (CB) pigments, angle-independent hollow Air@C@TiO2 nanoparticles have enhanced color stability under the action of in situ synthesized carbon black (CB). Our results suggest that it is easy to change the color of these Air@C@TiO2 spheres by adjusting the sphere structure sizes, which have the potential to show visual signaling.
