“…Such special structure endows the material with excellent properties of strength, stiffness, and toughness, making it have the potential to be used as high‐performance biomaterial. Li et al fabricated a crab shell‐derived chitosan film with densely packed Bouligand structure by top‐down strategies (S. Li, Wang, Huang, et al, 2022). The crab shell‐derived film showed outstanding tensile strength of 221.8 MPa in dry state and 70 MPa in wet state, while possessing good antimicrobial ability due to the function of NH 2 groups of chitosan.…”

Natural materials and bioprocesses provide abundant inspirations for the design and synthesis of high‐performance nanomaterials. In the past several decades, bioinspired nanomaterials have shown great potential in the application of biomedical fields, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and cancer therapy, and so on. In this review, three types of bioinspired strategies for biomedical nanomaterials, that is, inspired by the natural structures, biomolecules, and bioprocesses, are mainly introduced. We summarize and discuss the design concepts and synthesis approaches of various bioinspired nanomaterials along with their specific roles in biomedical applications. Additionally, we discuss the challenges for the development of bioinspired biomedical nanomaterials, such as mechanical failure in wet environment, limitation in scale‐up fabrication, and lack of deep understanding of biological properties. It is expected that the development and clinical translation of bioinspired biomedical nanomaterials will be further promoted under the cooperation of interdisciplinary subjects in future.This article is categorized under: Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies

“…Moving beyond nacre, the Bouligand structure, commonly found in entities like fish scales and crab shells, has also captured the attention of biomaterial developers. Li et al’s development of a chitosan film derived from crab shells beautifully replicates this dense Bouligand structure, offering increased tensile strength and inherent antibacterial properties [ 221 ]. Furthermore, Han et al innovatively transformed fish scales, using in situ mineralization of calcium silicate, into scaffolds for tendon repair, highlighting the diverse potential of these natural structures [ 222 ].…”

Exploring bio-inspired nanomaterials (BINMs) and incorporating them into micro/nanodevices represent a significant development in biomedical applications. Nanomaterials, engineered to imitate biological structures and processes, exhibit distinctive attributes such as exceptional biocompatibility, multifunctionality, and unparalleled versatility. The utilization of BINMs demonstrates significant potential in diverse domains of biomedical micro/nanodevices, encompassing biosensors, targeted drug delivery systems, and advanced tissue engineering constructs. This article thoroughly examines the development and distinctive attributes of various BINMs, including those originating from proteins, DNA, and biomimetic polymers. Significant attention is directed toward incorporating these entities into micro/nanodevices and the subsequent biomedical ramifications that arise. This review explores biomimicry’s structure–function correlations. Synthesis mosaics include bioprocesses, biomolecules, and natural structures. These nanomaterials’ interfaces use biomimetic functionalization and geometric adaptations, transforming drug delivery, nanobiosensing, bio-inspired organ-on-chip systems, cancer-on-chip models, wound healing dressing mats, and antimicrobial surfaces. It provides an in-depth analysis of the existing challenges and proposes prospective strategies to improve the efficiency, performance, and reliability of these devices. Furthermore, this study offers a forward-thinking viewpoint highlighting potential avenues for future exploration and advancement. The objective is to effectively utilize and maximize the application of BINMs in the progression of biomedical micro/nanodevices, thereby propelling this rapidly developing field toward its promising future.

“…A few other examples are fish scale lamellae, shrimp skin, lotus petal, and crab shell structure, containing essential salts and biopolymers, which increases the mobility of ions in electrolytes while effectively inhibiting the agglomeration of nanoparticles [80][81][82][83]. The Bouligand structure of a crab shell serves as an effective host, allowing transfer of sulfur in Li-S batteries [84,85]. Several researchers have identified farm crops and leftovers as a critical source of sustainable carbon-based electrodes for fuel cells [77,86].…”

With growing environmental and ecological concerns, innovative energy storage systems are urgently required to develop smart grids and electric vehicles (EVs). Since their invention in the 1970s, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have risen as a revolutionary innovation due to their superior benefits of high operating potential and energy density. Similarly, fuel cells, especially Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) and Solid-Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC), have been developed as an energy storage system for EVs due to their compactness and high-temperature stability, respectively. Various attempts have been made to explore novel materials to enhance existing energy storage technologies. Materials design and development are significantly based on trial-and-error techniques and require substantial human effort and time. Additionally, researchers work on individual materials for specific applications. As a viewpoint, we present the available sustainable routes for electrochemical energy storage, highlighting the use of (i) green materials and processes, (ii) renewables, (iii) the circular economy approach, (iv) regulatory policies, and (v) the data driven approach to find the best materials from several databases with minimal human involvement and time. Finally, we provide an example of a high throughput and machine learning assisted approach for optimizing the properties of several sustainable carbon materials and applying them to energy storage devices. This study can prompt researchers to think, advance, and develop opportunities for future sustainable materials selection, optimization, and application in various electrochemical energy devices utilizing ML.
