Description

Photonic crystals (PCs) are expected to find widespread application in next generation optoelectronic devices due to their inherent optical properties which can be used to manipulate or inhibit the propagation of light. This study focuses on the fabrication of 3-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) inverse opal photonic crystals with composition Si1-xTixO2 (x= 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) and photonic band gaps (PBG) spanning the visible spectrum. TiO2 inverse opals showed in-vitro bioactivity for hydroxyapatite growth in simulated body fluids and excellent performance when incorporated in dye sensitized solar cells.
