Abstract

Nature has evolved through billions of years to achieve highly efficient biological processes and materials with properties that go, most of the time, far beyond the current human know-how. Not only to deeply understand these selective systems, but also to gain inspiration for the design of new processes and materials with similar behavior, the principles of biomimicry and bioinspiration have been applied by the scientific community and the industry. The general strategy for that is firstly, through scientific analysis, systematize the fundamental mechanisms that underlie a particular biological process, and then apply these concepts in the fabrication of novel biomimetic/bioinspired materials with enhanced performance. The inspiration coming from natural sources can be structure-wise and/or function-wise and, in the recent years, has had a significant impact on the bioelectrochemistry field, as most of the available electrochemical techniques are useful tools to investigate these systems. This chapter discusses the recent trends in biomimicry and bioinspiration in the bioelectrochemistry field, mainly focusing on biomimetic membranes, reconstituted membrane proteins, protein-based electrodes, biomimetic enzymes, genetic materials, and live cells.
