Solution photonic crystals can be prepared by assembling polystyrene nanoparticles on graphene functionalized with hydrophilic polymers, as J. Dong and co‐workers report on page 1072. The solution photonic crystal can be stably dispersed in water and can change from blue to white very quickly when trace benzene exists, showing great potential in benzene detection by the naked eye.
