Abstract
Discoveries of two-dimensional (2D) materials, exemplified by the recent entry of MXene, have ushered in a new era of multifunctional materials for applications from electronics to biomedical sensors due to their superior combination of mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties. MXene, for example, can be designed for specialized applications using a plethora of element combinations and surface termination layers, making them attractive for highly optimized multifunctional composites. Although multiple critical engineering applications demand that such composites balance specialized functions with mechanical demands, the current knowledge of the mechanical performance and optimized traits necessary for such composite design is severely limited. In response to this pressing need, this paper critically reviews structure-function connections for highly mineralized 2D natural composites, such as nacre and exoskeletal of windowpane oysters, to extract fundamental bioinspired design principles that provide pathways for multifunctional 2D-based engineered systems. This paper highlights key bioinspired design features, including controlling flake geometry, enhancing interface interlocks, and utilizing polymer interphases, to address the limitations of the current design. Challenges in processing, such as flake size control and incorporating interlocking mechanisms of tablet stitching and nanotube forest, are discussed along with alternative potential solutions, such as roughened interfaces and surface waviness. Finally, this paper discusses future perspectives and opportunities, including bridging the gap between theory and practice with multiscale modeling and machine learning design approaches. Overall, this review underscores the potential of bioinspired design for engineered 2D composites while acknowledging the complexities involved and providing valuable insights for researchers and engineers in this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
The development of a novel preparation strategy for 3D porous network structures with an aligned channel or wall is always in challenge. Herein, a 3D porous network composed of an aligned graphene-based wall is fabricated by a confined self-assembly strategy in which holey reduced graphene oxide (HrGO)/lignin sulfonate (Lig) composites are orientedly anchored on the framework of the Lig/single-wall carbon nanotube (Lig/SWCNT) hydrogel by vacuum-assisted filtration accompanied with confined self-assembly and followed with hydrothermal treatment. After freeze drying, the obtained ultralight Lig/SWCNT/HrGOal aerogel exhibits excellent shape memory properties and can roll back to the original shape even if suffering from a high compressive strain of 86.2%. Furthermore, the as-prepared aerogel used as a water-driven artificial muscle shows powerful driving force and can lift ultrahigh weight cargo that is 1030.6 times its own weight. When the prepared Lig/SWCNT/HrGOal aerogel is used as a pressure sensor, it also exhibits high sensitivity (2.28 kPa-1) and a wide detection region of 0.27-14.1 kPa. Additionally, the symmetric flexible supercapacitor assembled with as-prepared aerogel films shows superior stored energy performance that can tolerate 5000 cycles of bending. The present work not only fabricates a high-performance multifunctional material but also develops a new strategy for the preparation a wood-like 3D porous aligned wall network structure.

Abstract
Despite the fact that the high conductivity of two-dimensional laminated transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) contributes to the outstanding electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding by the reflection of electromagnetic waves (EWs), it is difficulty to improve EMI shielding by pursuing higher conductivity due to the limitation of intrinsic properties. Here, we achieve superior EMI shielding by introducing the absorption of EWs in MXenes with micro-sized wrinkles which are induced by abundant Ti vacancies under chemical etching. The shielding effectiveness is up to 107 dB at a thickness of 20 μm. Combining with atomic-scale structure observation and the first-principles calculations, it is concluded that the promotion of EMI shielding originates from the resonant absorption of formed electric dipoles induced by the asymmetrical distribution of charge densities near Ti vacancies. Our results could open a new vista for developing two-dimensional EMI shielding materials.

Abstract
Heating the human body to maintain a relatively constant temperature is pivotal for various human functions. However, most of the current heating strategies are energy-consuming and energy-wasting and cannot cope with the complex and changing environment. Developing materials and systems that can heat the human body precisely via an efficient energy-saving approach no matter indoors/outdoors, day/night, and sunny/cloudy is highly anticipated for mitigating the growing energy crisis and global warming but is still a great challenge. Here, we demonstrate the low mid-infrared radiative (mid-IR) emissivity characteristic of Ti3C2Tx MXene and then apply it for energy-free passive radiative heating (PRH) on the human body. Our strategy is realized by simply decorating the cheap nanoporous polyethylene (nanoPE) textile with MXene. Impressively, the as-obtained 12 μm thick MXene/nanoPE textile shows a low mid-IR emissivity of 0.176 at 7-14 μm and outstanding indoor PRH performance on the human body, which enhances by 4.9 °C compared with that of traditional 576 μm thick cotton textile. Meanwhile, the MXene/nanoPE textile exhibits excellent active outdoor solar heating and indoor/outdoor Joule heating capability. The three heating modes integrated in this wearable MXene/nanoPE heating system can be switched easily or combined arbitrarily, making this thin heating system able to heat the human body precisely in various scenarios like indoors/outdoors, day/night, and sunny/cloudy, providing multiple promising and energy-saving solutions for future all-day personal precision thermal management.
