Rewritable paper is an environmentally friendly approach to information transmission with potential, but there are limitations such as slow response sensitivity and poor storage stability. By constructing optically rewritable azobenzene inverse opals, some of these limitations have been addressed, providing a possible pathway for the development of novel display technologies.
Rewritable paper, as an environment-friendly approach of information transmission, has potential possibility to conserve energy and promote a sustainable development of our society. Recently, photonic crystals (PCs) have become a research hotspot in the development of rewritable paper. However, there are still many shortcomings that limit the further application of PC paper, such as slow response sensitivity, short-cycle lifetime, poor storage stability, and so on. Herein, we constructed an optically rewritable azobenzene inverse opals (AZOIOs) with a thin film (ca. 1 mu m) plated on an inverse opal structure based on the UV/vis switchable structure color of the sample. The top thin film acts as a protective layer to avoid the large deformation of the pore structure and the bottom inverse opal structure with refractive index/pore structure change that provides reversible structure color. Large, reversible, and rapid bandgap shift (ca. 60 nm, 2 s) of AZOIOs can be repeated more than 100 times under alternating UV/vis irradiation based on isomerization of high content of the azobenzene group. On-demand long-time preservation pattern can be obtained by the appearance of azobenzene's intrinsic color. The proof of concept for rewritable PC paper is demonstrated herein. Such inkless rewritable colorful paper paves a way for developing novel display technology.
