Abstract  

Metal nanocomposites with delicate hierarchical structure (MNDHS), which provide excellent optical and catalytic properties due to their multicomponent and structural functionalization, are of great significance for the design of structural and functional materials as well as the application in the field of environment and energy. Here, butterfly wing template is used as an example to introduce the research progress of MNDHS, including their fabrication, property and potential applications, and then their development in the future is prospected.
Key words:  hierarchical structure      metal nanocomposites      butterfly wing template

Fig.3  Schematics of the selectively modified 3D nanoarchitecture of butterfly wings under visible light (a) and infrared (IR) light (b) (In Fig.3a, the edge of each lamella layer is selectively coated with a thin layer of Au; the inset shows the edge portion of one lamella layer that is modified with Au coating. In Fig.3b, the inset shows an enlarged view of the bending of one lamella layer due to the absorption of IR light and a mismatch in thermal expansion between the Au coating and lamella structure)[53]
