Periodically structured titania nanotubes are designed and fabricated by current‐pulse anodization to create 3D photonic crystal films operating at visible wavelengths, for photon manipulation. In contrast to previous studies, this method combines all the advantages of large‐area, low‐cost, transparent, flexible, and complete‐bandgap materials.
