“…The infiltration and filling of a precursor is a key step in the fabrication of 3DOM materials, and the main strategies include the sol–gel approach, co‐precipitation method, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which have been comprehensively discussed in several reviews. [ 64–66 ] The merits and demerits of preparation methods were summarized in Table 1 . Among them, the sol–gel method is the most common approach for precursor infiltration and filling: under the action of capillary force, the precursor fills in the template and gradually gels through hydrolysis and polymerization, and then the corresponding 3DOM material is obtained after drying, and baking to remove the template.…”

In recent years, three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) materials have attracted tremendous interest in the field of photocatalysis due to the periodic spatial structure and unique physicochemical properties of 3DOM catalysts. In this review, the fundamentals and principles of 3DOM photocatalysts are briefly introduced, including the overview of 3DOM materials, the photocatalytic principles based on 3DOM materials, and the advantages of 3DOM materials in photocatalysis. The preparation methods of 3DOM materials are also presented. The structure and properties of 3DOM materials and their effects on photocatalytic performance are briefly summarized. More importantly, 3DOM materials, as a supported catalyst, are extensively employed to combine with various common materials, including metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, metal sulfides, and carbon materials, to enhance photocatalytic performance. Finally, the prospects and challenges for the development of 3DOM materials in the field of photocatalysis are presented.

“…TiO 2 is one of the most commonly employed semiconductor materials for the electrodes in electrochemical devices and is also suited to the deposition of biocatalysts thanks to its porous surface, which is believed to facilitate the adsorption of proteins [76]. The efficiency of TiO 2 light absorption can also be enhanced by manufacturing TiO 2 -based inverse opals (IO), materials with a highly organized internal arrangement giving rise to periodic modulation of the dielectric constant [77,78].…”

The extraordinary potential of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable fuel has sparked the interest of the scientific community to find environmentally friendly methods for its production. Biological catalysts are the most attractive solution, as they usually operate under mild conditions and do not produce carbon-containing byproducts. Hydrogenases promote reversible proton reduction to hydrogen in a variety of anoxic bacteria and algae, displaying unparallel catalytic performances. Attempts to use these sophisticated enzymes in scalable hydrogen production have been hampered by limitations associated with their production and stability. Inspired by nature, significant efforts have been made in the development of artificial systems able to promote the hydrogen evolution reaction, via either electrochemical or light-driven catalysis. Starting from small-molecule coordination compounds, peptide- and protein-based architectures have been constructed around the catalytic center with the aim of reproducing hydrogenase function into robust, efficient, and cost-effective catalysts. In this review, we first provide an overview of the structural and functional properties of hydrogenases, along with their integration in devices for hydrogen and energy production. Then, we describe the most recent advances in the development of homogeneous hydrogen evolution catalysts envisioned to mimic hydrogenases.

“…PCs like inverse opals and PC bers are now being extensively applied in bio-sensing investigations. 103,104 In PC structures, the nano-crystals were periodically repeated in one, two, or three directions each of them having different dielectric constants. Inverse opals with the PC structures are commonly designed by 3D ordered polymer microspheres using the inltration of a lling material precursor like TiO 2 , ZnO, SiO 2 , and polymers in the holes of opaline arrays.…”
