Abstract
Inspired by the biomorphic structures or chemical properties of biological molecules, many biomimetic materials are designed and attract considerable attention in the field of aquatic environmental chemistry. In this review, the research progress of biomimetic materials in that field is systematically summarized. Biomimetic materials can be designed by molecular bionics or biomorphic design. Molecular bionic approaches include reconstruction or immobilization of the natural material, mimicking the active sites of biological molecules, and mimicking the catalytic environments of natural materials. These biomimetic materials have been applied in the studies of oxidative or reductive removal of contaminants from water and their detection. Its unique structure, mechanism of action and excellent performance make it have strong potential for practical application. The correlation between its microstructure and performance and the controllable synthesis method of the optimized structure are the key issues to be paid attention to in the follow-up research. Finally, the challenges and future development directions of biomimetic materials research in the field of water environment chemistry are discussed.
