Abstract

Inspired by nature, much attention has been paid to biomimetic or bioinspired design and synthesis of structural and functional materials, and to develop new methods to construct artificial advanced materials for materials science applications. In this chapter, we focus on the biomimetic synthesis of inorganic materials, particularly on the biomineralization mechanism and its corresponding biomimetic mineralization inorganic materials, biotemplated inorganic materials, biomimetic synthesis of inorganic chiral materials, and bioinspired multiscale inorganic materials, illustrated by appropriate recent key examples. We hope that the chapter presented here will offer some insights and inspirations in the fields of chemistry, material science, biology, and nanoscience and be helpful in the future development of biomimetics.
