Review on Recent Developments in Bioinspired-Materials for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Applications

Nature has always inspired innovative minds for development of new designs. Animals and plants provide various structures with lower density, more strength high energy sorption abilities that can incite the designs significant properties. By observing important functions biological found in nature, scientists have fabricated by bio-inspiration been proved to exhibit a improvement over traditional their applications environmental sector. Bio-fabricated materials shown many advantages due easy synthesis, flexible performance multiple as these be used light harvesting systems, batteries, biofuels, catalysis, purification water, air monitoring. However, there is an urgent need sensitive fabrication instruments synthesize bio-inspired convert laboratory scale synthesis into large production. The present review highlights recent advances use hierarchical nanomaterials generated through biomolecular self-assembly removal contaminants sustainable development.
