Traditional synthetic methodologies are confronted with great challenges to fabricate complex nanomaterials with delicate design, high efficiency and excellentrnsustainability. During the past decade, bio-inspired synthesis has been extensively applied as an effective and efficient strategy for the fabrication of nanomaterials andrnnanostructures. Mimicking electrode materials at nanoscale in the aspect of either structure or functionality has been receiving surging interest because of theirrnincomparable advantages and outperforming properties. In this review, we summarize the recent progresses on bio-inspired synthesis of nanomaterials and smartrnstructures in the field of energy storage and conversion. Firstly, an overall introduction of bio-inspired synthetic strategies will be presented, with focus on the biotemplatesrnand bio-resources. Following that, a library of complex mimicking structures featured by high-order, hierarchical porosity, or bionic function are introduced,rnwith discussion on their chemical and physical properties associated with the structure. The enhanced electrochemical properties such as energy density, cyclingrnstability, etc. in different electrochemical systems will be also discussed. At last, we will expand the perspectives regarding the advantages and limitations of bioinspiredrnstrategy and possible solutions in the future.
