3D periodic microstructures of high‐refractive index materials (see Figure), in particular the II–VI semiconductors CdS and CdSe, have been synthesized by electrodeposition through silica‐ or polystyrene‐based colloidal assemblies. The highest refractive index contrast is achieved after removal of the silica or polystyrene templates with HF or toluene, respectively.
