| Zusammenfassung: | Oxygen-sensitive photoreversible intelligent ink capable of assessment with the human eye is an ongoing demand in the modern era. In the food industry, redox-dye-based oxygen indicator films have been proposed, but the leaching of dyes from the film that contaminates the food is one unsolved issue. On the other hand, it is also highly desirable to develop rewritable paper that significantly reduces the pressure on modern society for the production and consumption of paper. Herein, we have developed an oxygen-deficient TiO2 - x/methylene blue (MB) sol without relying on external sacrificial electron donors (SEDs) for photoreversible color switching. Oxygen vacancies in TiO2 - x can work as electron donor to favor the adsorption of the substrate and improve the charge separation that is required for the redox-based color-switching system. The problems of rewriteable paper and food packaging are addressed as two sides of a single coin in this article. We have used hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) for rewritable paper that can significantly delay the oxidation of leuco-MB (LMB) through hydrogen bonding and retain the printed information for a long time. The dye leaching from oxygen indicator films is also significantly reduced (only 1.54%) by using furcelleran as the coating polymer that is extracted from edible red seaweed |
