Effect of Plasmonic Au and Ag/Au Nanoparticles and Sodium Citrate on the Optical Properties of Chitin-Based Photonic Nanoarchitectures in Butterfly Wing Scales

Effect of Plasmonic Au and Ag/Au Nanoparticles and Sodium Citrate on the Optical Properties of Chitin-Based Photonic Nanoarchitectures in Butterfly Wing Scales

Porous butterfly wings with hierarchically organized structures from nanometer to centimeter scales were tested as substrates for carrying plasmonic Au and Ag/Au nanoparticles with potential application in photocatalysis. Wings exhibiting structural color generated by chitin-air nanocomposites were...
