Abstract:

In order to solve high pollution and energy consumption of traditional dyes, and prepare full visible spectral structural colours with no pollution, three batches of different sized (320, 240 and 200 nm) silica nanoparticles (SNPs) were synthesized by using a Stöber-based solvent varying method, the silica photonic crystal(PC) films were fabricated from the three sized bare SNPs with vivid red, green, and purple colours, respectively, and structurally coloured PC films over the full visible spectrum were fabricated by varying the mass ratio of two sized SNPs. The result showed that the structural colours of the PC films had a blue shift when the ratio of the smaller sized SNPs increased. The PC films consisting of non-uniform two sized SNPs showed low angle dependent structural colours, due to its amorphous PC structure. This method is simpler and faster than traditional self-assembly of PC materials that require a series of different sized microsphere bathes for each color, and is suitable for making stable colours as pigments and coatings on different substrates.

Key words: structural colour, photonic crystal, silica nanoparticle, full visible spectrum, low angle-dependence
