Cephalopods' Skin-Inspired Design of Nanoscale Electronic Transport Layers for Adaptive Electrochromic Tuning.

ABSTRACT: Cephalopods can change their skin color by using high-speed electron transduction among receptors, neural networks, and pigmentary effectors. However, it remains challenging to realize a neuroelectrical transmission system like that found in cephalopods, where electrons/ions transmit on nanoscale, which is crucial for fast adaptive electrochromic tuning. Inspired by that, hereby an ideal, rapidly responsive, and multicolor electrochromic biomimetic skin is introduced. Specifically, the biomimetic skin comprises W₁₈O₄₉ nanowires (NWs) that are either colorless or blue, Au nanoparticles@polyaniline (Au NPs@PANI) ranging from green to pink, and a flexible conductive substrate. As the applied voltage changes from 0.4 V to -0.7 V and back to 0 V, the color of the biomimeti
