摘要

Colorimetric sensing, where environmental changes are transduced into visual color changes, provides an intuitively simple yet powerful detection mechanism that is well-suited to the realization of low-cost and low-power sensors. A new approach in colorimetric sensing exploits the structural colour of photonic crystals (PCs) to create new color-changing materials, however much work is still required to simultaneously achieve optimized sensor response and low-cost, scalable nanofabrication. This work responds to these challenges by designing, fabricating and evaluating a mesoporous PC sensor optimized to exhibit as large as possible color-shift in response to small changes in relative humidity (RH). A novel design optimization is achieved by employing a colorimetric framework that translates simulated/measured spectral quantities into numeric color values directly related to color perception. The sensor design is then realized using a mesoporous TiO_2 PC, fabricated using glancing angle deposition (CLAD). The CLAD technique is a bottom-up, single-step nanofabrication method providing the nanoscale precision required to successfully realize the optimized PC design. The PC sensor is shown to be highly sensitive and stable: the PC structural-color changes visibly due to RH changes smaller than 1%, and the response is stable over hundreds of hours of sensor operation. Additionally, measurements and simulations are used to reveal the important link between the PC optical modes, pore geometry, and sensor response which will be useful in future PC sensor experiments. The combination of bottom-up nanofabrication with visible color-based sensing, coupled with the useful design methodology, will lead to further developments in low-cost, widely deployable optical sensors.
