Colloidal cellulose nanocrystals were LBL deposited to form firmly-stacked optical coatings in which the nanorods regulated their head-to-tail association and aligned in the axial-centrifuged direction. The periodically transition from blue to orange of reflected colors was tunable via deposition layer adjustment. While the sensing coating was exposed to vapors of NH3.H2O, H2O, HCl and HAc, respectively, the color variation in the response process was irreversible at room temperature and highly dependent on vapor diffusion and chemical interface interaction. Consequently, HAc vapor presented the longest sensing transition of wavelength, whereas the alkaline NH3.H2O displays a less recovery ratio than HAc and H2O at room temperature. Under heating at 50 °C, the sensed coatings could mostly be restored to their original state except HCl-etched one. Therefore, the naked-eyed qualitative detectability of vapors by nanocellulose could be realized by the divergence in color shift which is of great importance in chemical sensors.
