Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) provide biocompatibility and are emerging candidates for functional composites and for templating organic optoelectronics. Here we present a facile fabrication of biocompatible hybrid thin films with tunable optical responses by establishing a thin film composite of silver nitrate precursor and CNF films. Subsequent thermal annealing induces the transformation of the silver nitrate into metallic silver nanoparticles and their CNF-template assisted growth. Correlating nanoparticle morphology and optical spectroscopy, our results show the ability to tailor the electronic band gap of the silver nanoparticles and thus of the hybrid material by adjusting the time scale of the thermal transformation.
