Abstract
- Optically responsive materials are present in everyday life, from screens to sensors. However, fabricating large-area, fossil-free materials for functional biocompatible applications is still a challenge today. Nanocelluloses from various sources, such as wood, can provide biocompatibility and are emerging candidates for templating organic optoelectronics. Silver (Ag) in its nanoscale form shows excellent optical properties. Herein, we combine both materials using thin-film large-area spray-coating to study the fabrication of optical response applications. We characterize the Ag nanoparticle formation by X-ray scattering and UV–vis spectroscopy in situ during growth on the nanocellulose template. The morphology and optical properties of the nanocellulose film are compared to the rigid reference surface SiO2. Our results clearly show the potential to tailor the energy band gap of the resulting hybrid material.
