摘要

Abstract

Structural color printings have broad applications due to their advantages of long-term sustainability

eco-friendly manufacturing

and ultra-high resolution. However

most of them require costly and time-consuming fabrication processes from nanolithography to vacuum deposition and etching. Here

we demonstrate a new color printing technology based on polymer-assisted photochemical metal deposition (PPD)

a room temperature

ambient

and additive manufacturing process without requiring heating

vacuum deposition or etching. The PPD-printed silver films comprise densely aggregated silver nanoparticles filled with a small amount (estimated

20% volume) of polymers

producing a smooth surface (roughness 2.5 nm) even better than vacuum-deposited silver films (roughness 2.8 nm) at ~4 nm thickness. Further

the printed composite films have a much larger effective refractive index

(~1.90) and a smaller extinction coefficient

(~0.92) than PVD ones in the visible wavelength range (400 to 800 nm)

therefore modulating the surface reflection and the phase accumulation. The capability of PPD in printing both ultra-thin (~5 nm) composite films and highly reflective thicker film greatly benefit the design and construction of multilayered Fabry–Perot (FP) cavity structures to exhibit vivid and saturated colors. We demonstrated programmed printing of complex pictures of different color schemes at a high spatial resolution of ~6.5 μm by three-dimensionally modulating the top composite film geometries and dielectric spacer thicknesses (75 to 200 nm). Finally

PPD-based color picture printing is demonstrated on a wide range of substrates

including glass

PDMS

and plastic

proving its broad potential in future applications from security labeling to color displays.
