Spray‐Assisted Fabrication of Cellulose Photonic Pigments on Superhydrophobic Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A method to directly produce structurally colored microparticles by drying cholesteric cellulose nanocrystal microdroplets on a superhydrophobic surface is reported. This approach has several key advantages that can unlock large‐scale fabrication of sustainable photonic pigments, including exploiting existing industrial techniques (e.g. aerosolization),

Molecular Domino Toppling for Directed Self‐Erasing Information Transfer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
An azobenzene‐based material with unprecedented light‐pumped directional charge‐transfer reminiscent of toppling dominoes is presented. After light‐induced trans→cis forward isomerization, electron hopping occurs in a sequential and propagating manner between the cis isomers along with an electrocatalytic cis→trans backward isomerization.
