摘要

光子晶体是由介电常数不同的材料周期性排列而成的人工微结构，其光子带隙可产生结构色，并对外界刺激产生光学响应，在智能传感领域备受关注. 本文系统综述了胶体光子晶体的一般构筑策略、传感变色机制及其在物理、化学与生物传感中的最新进展. 首先，总结了蒸发诱导、外场诱导、聚合诱导、过饱和度诱导及模板法等构筑光子晶体的一般方法，分析了各方法的优势与局限. 其次，阐述了基于折射率变化、晶格间距变化及有序-无序转变的光子晶体的三种典型传感机制. 进一步，总结了光子晶体传感器在机械力与温度物理传感、气氛/湿度/pH/离子小分子化学传感以及免疫/适配体/酶/分子印迹生物传感中的应用实例. 最后，指出了当前面临的响应速度、长期稳定性及量产一致性等挑战，并展望了多机制协同、多模态融合及智能化集成的发展方向，为该领域从实验室走向实际应用提供参考.

Abstract

Photonic crystals are artificial microstructures fabricated by periodically arranging materials with different dielectric constants. Their photonic bandgap can generate structural colors and produce optical responses to external stimuli

making them highly attractive for intelligent sensing. This review systematically summarizes general fabrication strategies

sensing mechanisms

and recent advances of colloidal photonic crystals in physical

chemical

and biological sensing. First

we introduce common fabrication methods including evaporation-induced

external-field-induced

polymerization-induced

supersaturation-induced self-assembly

as well as template methods

and analyze their advantages and limitations. Second

three typical sensing mechanisms based on refractive index change

lattice spacing variation

and order-disorder transition are described. Furthermore

we present application examples of photonic crystal sensors in mechanical force and temperature sensing (physical)

atmosphere/humidity/pH/ion and small molecule detection (chemical)

as well as immuno-

aptamer-

enzyme-

and molecularly imprinted polymer-based biosensing. Finally

current challenges such as response speed

long-term stability

and batch-to-batch reproducibility are discussed

and future directions toward multi-mechanism synergy

multimodal integration

and intelligent system assembly are envisioned

providing a reference for translating this field from laboratory research to practical applications.
