Chemical contaminants in food generally include natural toxins (mycotoxins, animal toxins, and phytotoxins), pesticides, veterinary drugs, environmental pollutants, heavy metals, and illegal additives. Developing a low-cost, simple, and rapid detection technology for harmful substances in food is urgently needed. Analytical methods based on different advanced materials have been developed into rapid detection methods for food samples. In particular, photonic crystal (PC) materials have a unique surface periodic structure, structural color, a large surface area, easy integration with photoelectronic and magnetic devices which have great advantages in the development of rapid, low-cost, and highly sensitive analytical methods. This review focuses on the PC materials in the view of their fabrication processes, functionalized recognition components for the specific recognition of hazardous substances, and applications in the separation, enrichment, and detection of chemical hazards in real samples. Suspension array based on three-dimensional PC microspheres by droplet-based microfluidic assembly is a great promising and powerful platform for food safety detection fields. For the PCs selective analysis, biological antibodies, aptamers, and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) could be modified for specific recognition of target substances, particularly MIPs because of their low-cost and easy mass production. Based on these functional PCs, various toxic and hazardous substances can be selectively enriched or recognized in real samples and further quantified in combination of liquid chromatography method or optical detection methods including fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy.

Quasi-Ordered Nanosphere-Based Photonic Crystals with High-Fastness Structural Colors via Screen Printing: Implications for Textile Printing and Dyeing

Patterned photonic crystals (PCs) have great development potential in the textile field because of their unique high-saturation iridescent pattern displays. Herein, PC-produced patterns were printed on the fabric surface via screen printing technology. The nanosphere dispersion has reached the required level of viscosity for printing (2435 mPa s) and possessed obvious shear thinning after adding 2.5 wt% of synthetic thickener with strong thickening ability. The interference of the thickener to the self-assembly of nanospheres was weakened as the synthetic thickener accounted for a small proportion in the printing precursor, so the regularity of the microstructure evolution of the assembled PCs was in quasi-ordered arrangement that is shortrange order/long-range quasi-order. Therefore, the structurally colored PC pattern exhibited a visual "flicker" effect with certain angular dependence. In addition, the polymer-bearing layer pretreated on the fabric surface enabled to improve the structural stability of the PC pattern. Thus, the patterned PCs obtained via screen printing have promising applications in textile coloration industry.

Multicolor Invisible Patterns Encrypted in Double‐Inverse‐Opal Films Based on Thermally Induced Structural Deformation

The integration of invisible photonic patterns into specific micro/nanostructures provides a new way to construct stimuli‐responsive optical anti‐counterfeiting devices. Herein, an innovative strategy for constructing highly invisible patterns in the solvent‐responsive double‐inverse‐opal (DIO) films by the thermal treatment is proposed. The masked area retains the responsive DIO structure, but the exposed area loses the periodic ordered array, which results in different optical responses of the pattern and background to the solvent. Due to the special structure, the scattering effect derived from the randomly distributed polystyrene microspheres within the pores of the inverse‐opal backbone in both the masked area and the exposed area makes the resultant film sample present a pale color, and the encrypted pattern is highly invisible in normal conditions. Interestingly, the hidden pattern can be quickly revealed by ethanol response, showing a large color contrast. Furthermore, reversible bilayer DIO films with multiple hidden patterns for advanced anti‐counterfeiting materials are prepared. Importantly, the as‐prepared film sample can reveal different patterns on the front and back sides in decryption, and simultaneously the overlapping part of the patterns can achieve color mixing based on the bilayer structure, thereby showing great potential in information encryption and anti‐counterfeiting fields.
