“…Photonic crystals can be considered as optical analogous to semi-conductors, where the periodic dielectric nanostructures of photonic crystals affect photons in a similar way as the periodic potential affects electrons; they also show potential in solar energy related applications. [163] For instance, 3D photonic crystals can provide a complete photonic band gap, therefore they can be used as emitters for thermal photovoltaic (TPV) power generation. [164] Since 2PP is capable of fabricating structures with sub-micrometer features, it was reported to be employed in fabrication of different 3D photonic structures, [165] such as a photonic crystal template with optical anisotropy, [166] as illustrated Figure 10a-c.…”

The global energy infrastructure is undergoing a drastic transformation towards renewable energy, posing huge challenges on the energy materials research, development and manufacturing. Additive manufacturing has shown its promise to change the way how future energy system can be designed and delivered. It offers capability in manufacturing complex 3D structures, with near‐complete design freedom and high sustainability due to minimal use of materials and toxic chemicals. Recent literatures have reported that additive manufacturing could unlock the evolution of energy materials and chemistries with unprecedented performance in the way that could never be achieved by conventional manufacturing techniques. This comprehensive review will fill the gap in communicating on recent breakthroughs in additive manufacturing for energy material and device applications. It will underpin the discoveries on what 3D functional energy structures can be created without design constraints, which bespoke energy materials could be additively manufactured with customised solutions, and how the additively manufactured devices could be integrated into energy systems. This review will also highlight emerging and important applications in energy additive manufacturing, including fuel cells, batteries, hydrogen, solar cell as well as carbon capture and storage.

“…Therefore, a photonic crystal is a powerful tool for light modulation in certain directions of space. Exploiting these properties, photonic crystals have been used in many optical applications, such as the use in sensors and monitors [10,11], bioassays [12,13], colour displays [14,15], solar energy [16], and lasers [17,18]. For all applications involving PCs one of the key parameters that have to be controlled is the band-gap position.…”

In the last decade, optical materials have gained much interest due to the high number of possible applications involving path or intensity control and filtering of light. The continuous emerging technology in the field of electrooptical devices or medical applications allowed the development of new innovative cost effective processes to obtain optical materials suited for future applications such as hybrid/polymeric solar cells, lasers, polymeric optical fibers, and chemo- and biosensing devices. Considering the above, the aim of this review is to present recent studies in the field of photonic crystals involving the use of polymeric materials.
