受在人工合成光子晶体中嵌入发射物种以显示新的光学性质的启发，选择孔雀羽毛中的天然光子晶体作为基质，通过原位方法嵌入纳米氧化锌。孔雀羽毛作为支撑底物，为原位合成六方氧化锌纳米颗粒提供了反应场所。其中，氧化锌纳米颗粒在可见光范围内表现出光致发光，并被认为是由孔雀羽毛定制的，在光电子和光通信方面具有潜在的应用前景。
Inspired by the embedment of emission species in synthetic photonic crystals to display novel optical properties, the natural photonic crystals within peacock feathers are chosen as the matrix to embed ZnO nanoparticles through an in situ approach. Peacock feathers function as the supporting substrate and provide reactive sites for the in situ synthesis of hexagonal ZnO nanoparticles. Herein, ZnO nanoparticles exhibit photoluminescence in the visible range and are supposed to be tailored by the peacock feather, having potential applications in optoelectronics and optical communications.
