Peptide-Based Optical/Electronic Materials: Assembly and Recent Applications in Biomedicine, Sensing, Energy Storage.

The unique optical and electronic properties of living systems are impressive. Peptide-based supramolecular self-assembly systems attempt to mimic these properties by preparation optical/electronic function materials with specific structure through simple building blocks, rational molecular design and specific kinetic stimulation. From the perspective of building blocks and assembly strategies, we systematically reviewed the unique optical and electronic properties of peptide-based nanostructures, including peptides self-assembly and peptides regulate the assembly of external function subunits. Additionally, we also highlighted their applications in biomedicine, sensing, and energy storage. This bioinspired peptide-based function material is one of the hot candidates for the new generation of green intellect materials, with many advantages such as biocompatibility, environmental friendliness and adjustable morphology.
