为了满足不断增长的能源需求和可持续性要求，下一代电池系统必须提供上级能量密度，同时采用环保组件。在过去的几十年里，过渡金属氧化物基材料一直是重要的高能量密度电池电极;然而，随着我们接近其晶体结构和构成元素所产生的理论极限，它们的进一步发展具有挑战性。从生物系统或生物灵感中开发材料提供了一种替代策略，通过这些材料提供的化学多样性，高效生物化学，可持续性和自然丰度来克服传统的能量储存机制。在这里，我们综述了仿生研究的最新进展，重点是新的电极材料设计的可充电电池，利用氧化还原活性分子参与的生物代谢和各种生物衍生材料具有不同的形态。使用同时表现出出色性能和可持续性的仿生材料进行储能的成功示范将为开发环保和高效的储能系统提供见解。
To meet the ever-increasing energy demands and sustainability requirements, next-generation battery systems must provide superior energy densities while employing eco-friendly components. Transition metal oxide-based materials have served as important high-energy-density battery electrodes over the past few decades; however, their further development is challenging as we approach the theoretical limits arising from their crystal structures and constituting elements. Exploiting materials from biological systems, or bio-inspiration, offers an alternative strategy to overcome the conventional energy storage mechanism through the chemical diversity, highly efficient biochemistry, sustainability, and natural abundance provided by these materials. Here, we overview recent progress in biomimetic research focused on novel electrode material design for rechargeable batteries, exploiting redox-active molecules involved in the biometabolism and diverse bioderived materials with various morphologies. Successful demonstrations of energy storage using biomimetic materials that simultaneously exhibit outstanding performance and sustainability would provide insight toward the development of an eco-friendly and high-efficiency energy storage system.
