Abstract Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) offer aesthetics and freedom of design for architects and home owners. This can accelerate implementation and free up new spaces for solar energy harvesting at building level, which is a necessary step towards a climate neutral built environment. Colored solar panels with high conversion efficiency and low cost price are an important development for large scale market penetration of BIPV. Here we report a solution processed structural color coating for solar panels and solar collectors. We show that virtually any color can be prepared, that the desired coating stack can be designed using optical calculations and that the exact color can be produced via a low cost solution process. Furthermore, we show that the light transmission for the colored glass plates is still very high, exceeding commonly used absorbing colors and enables very high solar cell efficiency. The colored PV panels have been tested in real environment and via accelerated lifetime testing for 3 years without any performance decline or degradation.

The color, texture, and natural defects of wood are important factors affecting its commercial value. Change of wood’s surface color is a primary way to improve its value. This study analyzes and summarizes the development status and existing problems of the traditional wood dyeing process and induced discoloration process. It is proposed that color improvement with photonic crystal structure color is a clean and pollution-free ecological biomimetic coloring technology. Its research status in the fields of fiber, fabric, wood, wood-based panel surface color improvement, new coatings for wood, and lignocellulose nanocrystalline structure color film are reviewed. The following aspects were studied: 1) construction and mechanistic study of the wood surface structure color film, 2) light response and interface mechanistic study of the wood surface structure color film, 3) large-scale application technology study of the wood surface biomimetic structure color film, and 4) preparation and functional development of structural color films of lignocellulose nanocrystal.

Abstract Using direct femtosecond laser patterning of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) sandwich designed to support Fabry-Perot mode in the visible spectral range we demonstrate new practically relevant strategy for high-resolution color printing. Irradiation of the MIM sandwich by tightly focused laser pulses allows to produce unique 3D surface nanostructures – hollow nanobumps and nanojets - locally modulating surface reflectivity. Laser processing parameters control the 3D shape of such nanostructures allowing to gradually tune the reflected color from reddish brown to pure green. Up-scalable ablation-free laser fabrication method paves the way towards various applications ranging from large-scale structural color printing to optical sensors and security labeling at a lateral resolution of 25,000 dots per inch.
