Nature evolved a variety of hierarchical structures that produce sophisticated functions. Inspired by these natural materials, colloidal self-assembly provides a convenient way to produce structures from simple building blocks with a variety of complex functions beyond those found in nature. In particular, colloid-based porous materials (CBPM) can be made from a wide variety of materials. The internal structure of CBPM also has several key attributes, namely porosity on a sub-micrometer length scale, interconnectivity of these pores, and a controllable degree of order. The combination of structure and composition allow CBPM to attain properties important for modern applications such as photonic inks, colorimetric sensors, self-cleaning surfaces, water purification systems, or batteries. This review summarizes recent developments in the field of CBPM, including principles for their design, fabrication, and applications, with a particular focus on structural features and materials' properties that enable these applications. We begin with a short introduction to the wide variety of patterns that can be generated by colloidal self-assembly and templating processes. We then discuss different applications of such structures, focusing on optics, wetting, sensing, catalysis, and electrodes. Different fields of applications require different properties, yet the modularity of the assembly process of CBPM provides a high degree of tunability and tailorability in composition and structure. We examine the significance of properties such as structure, composition, and degree of order on the materials' functions and use, as well as trends in and future directions for the development of CBPM.

Assembly of 3D micro/nanostructures in advanced functional materials has important implications across broad areas of technology. Existing approaches are compatible, however, only with narrow classes of materials and/or 3D geometries. This paper introduces ideas for a form of Kirigami that allows precise, mechanically driven assembly of 3D mesostructures of diverse materials from 2D micro/nanomembranes with strategically designed geometries and patterns of cuts. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate applicability of the methods across length scales from macro to nano, in materials ranging from monocrystalline silicon to plastic, with levels of topographical complexity that significantly exceed those that can be achieved using other approaches. A broad set of examples includes 3D silicon mesostructures and hybrid nanomembrane-nanoribbon systems, including heterogeneous combinations with polymers and metals, with critical dimensions that range from 100 nm to 30 mm. A 3D mechanically tunable optical transmission window provides an application example of this Kirigami process, enabled by theoretically guided design.Kirigami | three-dimensional assembly | buckling | membranes T hree-dimensional micro/nanostructures are of growing interest (1-10), motivated by their increasingly widespread applications in biomedical devices (11-13), energy storage systems (14-19), photonics and optoelectronics (20-24), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) (25-27), metamaterials (21,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), and electronics (33-35). Of the many methods for fabricating such structures, few are compatible with the highest-performance classes of electronic materials, such as monocrystalline inorganic semiconductors, and only a subset of these can operate at high speeds, across length scales, from centimeters to nanometers. For example, although approaches (36-39) that rely on self-actuating materials for programmable shape changes provide access to a wide range of 3D geometries, they apply only to certain types of materials [e.g., gels (36, 37), liquid crystal elastomers (39), and shape memory alloys (38)], generally not directly relevant to high-quality electronics, optoelectronics, or photonics. Techniques that exploit bending/folding of thin plates via the action of residual stresses or capillary effects are, by contrast, naturally compatible with these modern planar technologies, but they are currently most well developed only for certain classes of hollow polyhedral or cylindrical geometries (1, 10, 40-44). Other approaches (45, 46) rely on compressive buckling in narrow ribbons (i.e., structures with lateral aspect ratios of >5:1) or filaments to yield complex 3D structures, but of primary utility in opennetwork mesh type layouts. Attempts to apply this type of scheme to sheets/membranes (i.e., structures with lateral aspect ratios of <5:1) lead to "kink-induced" stress concentrations that cause mechanical fracture. The concepts of Kirigami, an ancient aesthetic pursuit, involve strategically configured arrays of cuts to gui...

The phononic band diagram of a periodic square structure fabricated by femtosecond laser pulse-induced two photon polymerization is recorded by Brillouin light scattering (BLS) at hypersonic (GHz) frequencies and computed by finite element method. The theoretical calculations along the two main symmetry directions quantitatively capture the band diagrams of the air- and liquid-filled structure and moreover represent the BLS intensities. The theory helps identify the observed modes, reveals the origin of the observed bandgaps at the Brillouin zone boundaries, and unravels direction dependent effective medium behavior.
