Abstract:
Surfactant induced ordering of 2D and 3D colloidal crystal photonic crystals is possible on metallic substrates by dip‐coating at fast rates (≈1 mm/min). Ordered monolayer opals on conductive gold‐coated silicon substrates behave as a 2D diffraction grating. The method allows high throughput, ordered colloidal crystal formation useful as nanomaterials templates for energy storage or functional materials.
