Due to their high absorption coefficient and long carrier lifetime, halide perovskites are promising candidates for photocatalysts. For this study, the antisolvent crystallization protocol and the colloidal crystal templating approach were combined to fabricate the highly crystalline cesium lead bromide perovskite with inverse opal morphology (IO-CsPbBr3). Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscope images demonstrate the three-dimensional well-ordered porous structures of the IO-CsPbBr3 and their single-crystalline features. The presented approach not only provides hierarchical porous structures but also enhances overall crystallinity. When used as catalysts to promote the polymerization of 2,2′,5′,2″-ter-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, the highly crystalline IO-CsPbBr3 exhibits a superior photocatalytic performance compared to its polycrystalline counterpart. Furthermore, the morphology and the crystalline structure of the highly crystalline IO-CsPbBr3 are well preserved under photocatalytic conditions. This novel approach enables the preparation of a halide perovskite inverse opal with high crystallinity.

Polystyrene microspheres with 120nm diameter were synthesized by emulsion polymerization and three-dimensionally ordered colloidal crystal templates were obtained by centrifugal sedimentation.Three dimensionally ordered nanopore (3DON) manganese oxide lithium ion-sieve was prepared after filtration, two heated roasting and acid modified by using precursor solution filling the colloidal crystal templates, which was prepared by Lithium salt, manganese salt and citric acid. SEM, XRD, and saturated exchange capacity test were used to characterize the roasting condition, appearance, structure, and ion exchange performance of the oxide. The results showed that, the optimum roasting condition of preparing lithium ion-sieve precursors were found as follows: heating rate at 2°C/min, 300 °C roasting 4h and 800 °C roasting 8h, The 3DON Li4Mn5O12lithium ion sieve precursor has the shape of three-dimensional cross-linked connected into the network structure. Li4Mn5O12was regularly arranged and the hole wall was integrity,average pore size of approximately 90nm.3DON Li4Mn5O12 showed good stability for acid and the retrofit of lithium ion-sieve showed a high selectivity for Li+. The saturated exchange capacity of Li+is 51.98mgLi+/g.

Three-dimensional ordered macroporous (3DOM) nickel ferrite ( NiFe2O4 ) anode material is synthesized via colloidal crystal template. A Close-packed poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres is used as template. Scanning electron microscopy observations reveal that the obtained 3DOM NiFe2O4 material has uniform spherical macropores with diameter about 140-nm and 20-nm size walls. The cyclic voltammogram and galvanostatic test are employed to evaluate the electrochemical characteristics of the as-prepared NiFe2O4 . It shows high initial discharge capacity (up to 1370 mAh g-1) and reversible capacity of 670 mAh g-1 at the current density of 0.2 mA cm-2. The results suggest that 3DOM nickel ferrite is a good candidate for anode material of lithium ion batteries.
