Bovine serum albumin (BSA)–squaraine supramolecular adducts with aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) properties were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods. While squaraine dyes showed a very low fluorescence quantum yield in water, a great enhancement in the fluorescence of the aggregated BSA adducts was achieved due to the abnormal aggregation‐induced emission properties of squaraines. The adducts formation was studied from a kinetic point of view showing unexpected structure–properties relationships.

Inspired by nature 2D photonic structures, many delicately designed 2D photonic materials with fluctuating structural colors have been developed with applications across broad areas . Compared with pigment color, structural color can offer ultrahigh saturation, brightness, and vivid iridescence, or the change of color with angle of incidence of the light.…”

opens new doors for innovation in materials and sustainable technologies. Owing to the great diversity and complexity of nature, the well-evolved natural structures corresponding to specific functionalities may vary from 1D nanofibers or nanoneedles to 2D nanosheets or nanoplates or even 3D multiscale-ordered structures. [32] A good understanding of the structureproperty relationships is essential for the design and fabrication of bioinspired nanomaterials.2D nanomaterials have achieved some significant triumphs in various applications, benefitting from their unique structural characteristics and relevant chemical and physical properties. [33][34][35] In fact, 2D nanostructures also widely exist in nature and generate some amazing functionalities, which offers us great opportunities to further expand the design and fabrication of 2D nanostructured materials, devices, and technologies. [36] By integrating 2D nanomaterials with the bioinspired strategies, innovative materials and technologies have been proposed and realized. In this research news, recent progress that mainly achieved over the past decade in bioinspired materials and technologies based on 2D nanomaterials for targeted sustainable energy and environmental technologies, such as energy conversion and storages, environmental remediation, etc., is reviewed and discussed. As shown in Figure 1, three topical subjects, including bioinspired 2D photonic structures, bioinspired 2D energy nanomaterials, and bioinspired 2D superwetting materials, along with the challenges and opportunities will be the focus of this article, and give an overall perspective to this emerging and promising research area. Bioinspired 2D Photonic MaterialsTo survive in the wild world, natural species have evolved various unique structures with fascinating optical functionalities, such as glitzy structural colors for attracting prey or mates, [37] tunable camouflage colors for escaping from predators, [38] antireflection function of compound eyes for weak light vision, [36] and so on. These structures, as known as photonic crystal structures, have inspired the design of novel photonic micro/nanostructures and some smart optical devices.Among the various natural photonic structures, one class consists of periodically stacked 2D multilayers, also known as Bragg Stacks, have been found in many natural organisms, such as plants, insects, and marine benthos. [39] Multiple pairs of 2D layers with different refractive indexes in Bragg Stacks can generate iridescent structural colors through constructive The increasing demand for constructing ecological civilization and promoting socially sustainable development has encouraged scientists to develop bioinspired materials with required properties and functions. By bringing science and nature together, plenty of novel materials with extraordinary properties can be created by learning the best from natural species. In combination with the exceptional features of 2D nanomaterials, bioinspired 2D nanomaterials and technologies have delivered signif...

Rational design and fabrication of multicolor fluorescent sources represent one of the significant challenges in the development of high‐performance solid‐state lighting, tunable coherent lasing, and full‐color display technologies. However, generation of simultaneous multicolor emission, especially white light generation with a wide color gamut is usually beyond the ability of a single material. Heterogeneous structures made by combinations of red, green, and blue emission building blocks are bulky, inefficient, complicated, and costly. Here reported is a bottom‐up strategy to generate simultaneous multicolor emission with continuous tunability in a single monolithic material based on the “nanocrystals‐in‐glass composite” (NGC) architecture. In this approach, a self‐sustained low‐temperature solution combustion process enables homogeneous solvent dispersion and eventually stable immobilization of multiple nanocrystals in transparent matrix. With transparency of up to 80%, further demonstrated is drawing of fiber from the melt of these combustion‐processed NGC materials. The optical spectra of the as‐drawn glass fiber can be precisely tuned and clustering is effectively suppressed. Moreover, the NGC materials exhibit remarkable anti‐thermal quenching behavior at temperatures of up to 200 °C. The bottom‐up strategy for NGC provides a versatile platform for the fabrication of high‐performance multifunctional fiber‐based devices for advanced applications in lasers, illumination, displaying, and biophotonics.
