Article Abstract
The natural world renders a large number of opportunities to design intriguing structures and fascinating functions for innovations of advanced surfaces and interfaces. Currently, bioinspired interfaces have attracted much attention in practical applications of renewable energy storage and conversion devices including rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, and supercapacitors. By mimicking miscellaneous natural creatures, many novel bioinspired interfaces with various components, structures, morphology, and configurations are exerted on the devices' electrodes, electrolytes, additives, separators, and catalyst matrixes, resorting to their wonderful mechanical, optical, electrical, physical, chemical, and electrochemical features compared with the corresponding traditional modes. In this Perspective, the principles of designing bioinspired interfaces are discussed with respect to biomimetic chemical components, physical morphologies, biochemical reactions, and macrobiomimetic assembly configurations. A brief summary, subsequently, is mainly focused on the recent progress on bioinspired interfaces applied in key materials for rechargeable batteries. Ultimately, a critical comment is projected on significant opportunities and challenges existing in the future development course of bioinspired interfaces. It is expected that this Perspective is able to provide a profound perception into some underlying artificial intelligent energy storage and conversion device design as a promising candidate to resolve the global energy crisis and environmental pollution.

A critical prerequisite for translating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) detection technologies into clinical practice is achieving high-efficiency capture and non-destructive release of low-abundance CTCs in blood. In recent years, innovative designs and surface modification of bioinspired topological micro/nanostructured materials have provided efficient solutions to capture and release CTCs. Motivated by pollen morphology and multimodal regulation, this study designed pollen-inspired spiky topological magnetic nanoparticles (IP-GSMNs) based on dual-recognition interface and intelligent-response modulation for high-efficiency capture and non-destructive release of CTCs from peripheral whole blood.

Nanofluidics-based reverse electrodialysis offers a promising approach for harnessing the osmotic energy that exists between saline and fresh water, thereby providing a sustainable source of power. Nevertheless, the key obstacle to realizing a commercially viable power output stems from inadequate ion permselectivity in nanofluidics. Here, we engineer dual asymmetric MXene-based composite nanofluidics (DA-MXCNs) composed of a negatively charged, porous MXene layer and a positively charged, confined MXene layer, which strategically incorporates asymmetric channel dimensions and opposing charge distributions.

Triboelectric sweat sensors, endowed with the technical advantages of non-invasive ex vivo and in situ detection, have catalyzed the rapid advancement of personalized medicine and precision health management systems. However, the inherently low secretion rate and rapid evaporation of sweat pose significant challenges for its efficient collection and rapid analytical screening. This study leverages laser cutting and aqueous interfacial self-assembly strategies to develop a biomimetic heterogeneous wettability triboelectric material (HWTM).

Human action recognition (HAR) is crucial for the development of efficient computer vision, where bioinspired neuromorphic perception visual systems have emerged as a vital solution to address transmission bottlenecks across sensor-processor interfaces. However, the absence of interactions among versatile biomimicking functionalities within a single device, which was developed for specific vision tasks, restricts the computational capacity, practicality, and scalability of in-sensor vision computing. Here, we propose a bioinspired vision sensor composed of a GaN/AlN-based ultrathin quantum-disks-in-nanowires (QD-NWs) array to mimic not only Parvo cells for high-contrast vision and Magno cells for dynamic vision in the human retina but also the synergistic activity between the two cells for in-sensor vision computing.

Medical devices such as vascular grafts, stents, and catheters are crucial for patient treatment but often suffer suboptimal integration with host tissues due to the nature of their surfaces. The materials commonly used, including metals and synthetic polymers, frequently lead to undesired immune responses and device failure. In this context, coating their surfaces with designer proteins has arisen as a promising strategy to improve the device's biointegration.
