A volumetric display technique based on light-emitting colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) is developed, thanks to their flexible assembly capability, low heat conductivity, and attainable high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). This approach uses a single laser beam to create a 3D display with a micrometer resolution. The effect of CQD's heat capacity and heat conductivity on the microsphere's photophoretic force (PPF) is investigated, and the results suggest that only heat conductivity has a significant impact on the PPF.

However, the color saturation of these synthetic structures is often diminished by incoherent scattering caused by defects and irregularities. The inclusion of absorbing materials increases color saturation, but where this absorber is most efficiently incorporated within a photonic structure remains unknown. Here, this question is addressed using predictive design. A mathematical structure optimization algorithm is developed that iteratively places absorbing particles within a colloidal photonic crystal until an optimal distribution that produces maximum chroma values is identified. This rigorous optimization shows that placement of the absorbing material in the bottom layers of the photonic structure is most efficient in producing highly chromatic structural colors compared to other common absorber placements. Experiments based on a layer-by-layer assembly of polystyrene@polydopamine core–shell particles with controlled absorber distribution confirm these findings. These results demonstrate the ability of predictive design to guide the experimental realization of structurally-colored materials with optimal properties without the need for time- and resource-consuming experimental parameter studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":116,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Optical Materials","volume":"13 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adom.202403279","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143861498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is therefore crucial to develop simple, yet reliable methods to produce such films.

In situ spectroscopy reveals a delayed and slowed down crystallization process, which achieves synthesis of perovskite structures with much reduced defect densities. Further, aggregation can be controlled by the amount of amino acid added and adjusting the synthesis protocol allows to produce cubic crystallites with targeted size from nanometer to micrometer scales.

However, pure CPDs exhibit certain limitations in terms of optical performance, particularly in terms of fluorescence intensity, phosphorescence intensity, and emission wavelength tunability, which may not meet the requirements of specific applications. To address these limitations, doping CPDs with various elements, such as nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and phosphorus (P) to modify their band structure and surface functionalization can significantly enhance their optical properties and photochemical stability, thereby expanding their application potential. This paper reviews the main synthesis methods for elementally doped CPDs, examines the effects of different types of elemental doping on their photochemical properties, and explores promising applications in optoelectronic devices, sensors, and catalysis.
