| Abstract Scope |
In this review, We focused on replicating the morphological characteristics and the functionality of a natural species (e.g. wood, agriculture castoff, butterfly wings). The original components can be changed to our desired materials with original morphologies faithfully kept. Properties of the obtained materials are studied in details. Based on these results, we discuss the possibility of using these materials in photonic control, solar cells, electromagnetic shielding, energy harvesting, and gas sensitive devices, et al. In addition, the fabrication method could be applied to other nature substrate template and inorganic systems that could eventually lead to the production of optical, magnetic or electric devices or components as building blocks for nano-integrated systems. These bioinspired functional materials with improved performance characteristics are becoming increasing important, which will have great values on the development on structural function materials in the near future. |
