“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Our ancestors extracted herbs from plants, collected liquors from distillations of grains, and got sugars from the concentrates of fruit juices. Nowadays, separation is still an important and indispensable technology that affects nearly all the aspects of our modern industry, from chemicals purification, [10][11][12][13][14] to resource recovery, [15][16][17][18][19] pharmaceutical manufacture, [20][21][22][23][24] and pollution remedy.

Separation plays a critical role in a broad range of industrial applications. Developing advanced separation materials is of great significance for the future development of separation technology. Collagen fibers (CFs), the typical structural proteins, exhibit unique structural hierarchy, amphiphilic wettability, and versatile chemical reactivity. These distinctive properties provide infinite possibilities for the rational design of advanced separation materials. During the past 2 decades, many progressive achievements in the development of CFs‐derived advanced separation materials have been witnessed already. Herein, the CFs‐based separation materials are focused on and the recent progresses in this topic are reviewed. CFs widely existing in animal skins display unique hierarchically fibrous structure, amphiphilicity‐enabled surface wetting behaviors, multi‐functionality guaranteed covalent/non‐covalent reaction versatility. These outstanding merits of CFs bring great opportunities for realizing rational design of a variety of advanced separation materials that were capable of achieving high‐performance separations to diverse specific targets, including oily pollutants, natural products, metal ions, anionic contaminants and proteins, etc. Besides, the important issues for the further development of CFs‐based advanced separation materials are also discussed.
