Abstract
This review focuses on the introduction, fabrication, and applications of amorphous photonic crystals.
Highlights
Yang Hu‡Yang Hu is currently a PhD candidate at the Collaborative Innovation Center of Advanced Energy Materials at Guangdong University of Technology under the supervision of Dr Dongpeng Yang and Prof
The short-range-ordered structure of amorphous photonic crystals (APCs) generates noniridescent structural colors and stronger incoherent scattering compared with photonic crystals (PCs) with a well-ordered arrangement, which provides a unique advantage for potential applications of APCs
We summarize the recent research progress in the preparation strategies, light-absorbing materials and applications of APCs combining the perspective of the self-assembly of colloidal particles into APCs in this review
Summary
His current research interests are on responsive colloidal photonic crystals and their applications in displays, sensors, and anticounterfeiting. Dongpeng Yang received his PhD in inorganic chemistry from Fudan University in 2017 He is an associate professor at Guangdong University of Technology since 2017. His current research interests focus on the self-assembly of colloidal particles into smart photonic crystals and extending their applications in color display, pigments, printing, sensing, photocatalysis and anticounterfeiting. He has been working in the research area of photo-functional materials for over 12 years. This review provides critical insights for the preparation of novel APCs and the extension of their applications
