Rational Fabrication of High-Performance and Scalable Opal Crystals for Thermo-Fluidic Applications

Inverse opals have continuously attracted interest as a scalable, ordered porous material capable of enhancing energy, fluid, mass, or ion transport in a wide variety of applications. In particular, in heat transfer applications they have been used as porous coatings for condensers and boilers for i...
