Abstract
Herein, we investigated PhFC (10-phenylferrocenyl-5,15-diphenyl corrole), a corrole-based donor-acceptor (D-A) dyad, to understand the energy/electron transfer reaction dynamics. Phenylferrocene acts as the donor moiety when attached to the meso position of the corrole ring in the PhFC D-A system. The photophysical properties of the PhFC dyad and its parent molecule, TPC (5,10,15-triphenyl corrole), were studied by UV-vis spectroscopy, steady state fluorescence spectroscopy, TCSPC and optical microscopy techniques. A slight red shift and broadening of both the Q-band and Soret bands are observed in the absorption spectra of the PhFC dyad in comparison to TPC, representing the weak electronic interaction between the phenylferrocene moiety and corrole ring. The fluorescence emission spectrum of the PhFC dyad is significantly quenched (>80%) in comparison to TPC, attributed to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from phenylferrocene to the corrole ring. We observed that the electron transfer rate in the PhFC system is solvent dependent. Our theoretical investigation supported the experimental findings on the electron transfer mechanism. The HOMO and LUMO arrangements of these PhFC dyads demonstrate the electron density distribution and the ability of the donor moieties to transfer electrons to the corrole moiety. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) was used to image the homogeneous lifetime distribution of the PhFC dyad and TPC.

Abstract
New coccine (NC), as a kind of common colorant, has been frequently used in our daily life. Herein, the fluorescent composite (PNTs@C6) prepared by the hydrophobic non-covalent interaction between peptide nanotubes and coumarin 6 (C6) was designed for the determination of NC. Due to the activation of C6 by peptide nanotubes, the composite exhibits strong green fluorescence emission, which can be selectively quenched by NC through the inner filter effect. Therefore, a new fluorescent method based on the PNTs@C6 composite for NC detection was constructed. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescence quenching of the sensor exhibits a good linear relationship with the concentration of NC in the range of 0.01-10 μM and the limit of detection is 3.6 nM. Furthermore, the strategy shows simplicity, rapid response and high selectivity and has been successfully applied to the detection of NC in food samples.

Abstract
Diphenylalanine (FF) nanotubes are a star material in the field of peptide self-assembly and have demonstrated numerous intriguing applications. Due to its resemblance to amyloid assembly, the FF nanotube is widely regarded as a simplified mimic of amyloids. Yet, whether FF nanotube truly possesses amyloid structure remains an open question. To better understand the structural nature of FF nanotube, we herein performed a comparative structural investigation between FF nanotube and typical amyloid systems by Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42, Aβ16-22, Aβ13-23, α-synuclein, and lysozyme using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Through this comparative investigation, we obtained clear evidence to support that the FF nanotube does not possess a β-sheet structure, a key structural characteristic of amyloid assembly, thus revealing the non-amyloid structural nature of the FF nanotube. At last, in light of our new finding, we further discussed the unique self-assembly behaviors of FF during nanotube formation and the implications of our work for FF nanotube related applications.

Abstract
Inspired by the hierarchical chiral assembly of porphyrin-proteins in photosynthetic systems, the hierarchical self-assembly of porphyrin-amino acids/peptides provides a novel strategy for constructing functional materials. How to artificially simulate the assembly of porphyrins, proteins, and other cofactors in the photosynthesis system to obtain persistent strong light capture, charge separation and catalytic reactions has become an important concern in the construction of biomimetic photosynthesis systems. This paper summarizes the different assembly strategies adopted in recent years, the effects of driving forces on self-assembly, and the application of porphyrin-peptides in catalysis and biomedicine, and briefly discusses the challenges and prospects for future research.

Abstract
The effective utilization of solar energy in synthetic organic chemistry has gained extensive attention owing to its enormous energy and environmentally benign nature. In this context, we designed and synthesized a magnetically retrievable, sole palladium (Pd)-supported polydopamine-coated core@shell (NiFe2O4@TiO2) heterogeneous nanophotocatalyst for Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling reactions under sunlight irradiation. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-transform infrared, UV-vis, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanocatalyst under sunlight irradiation was assessed for both Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling reactions, where it worked excellently well with a high yield of the product up to 98 and 96%, respectively. Its efficacy was also investigated in the conversion of substituted substrates in both the coupling reactions into desired biaryls and diarylacetylenes. Unique features of the synthesized catalyst are (i) its effective performance for both the aforesaid coupling reactions under ambient reaction conditions for a short reaction time in polar protic solvents (ethanolic water/EtOH) with good yield without any byproduct, (ii) magnetic retrieval of the catalyst from the reaction mixture employing an external magnet is an added advantage, and (iii) the retrieved catalyst could potentially be reutilized for up to five consecutive runs without appreciable diminution of catalytic efficacy, and its stability was confirmed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy analysis and XRD.

Abstract
In natural photosynthesis, photosynthetic organisms such as green plants realize efficient solar energy conversion and storage by integrating photosynthetic components on the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, researchers have developed many artificial photosynthesis systems (APS's) that integrate various photocatalysts and biocatalysts to convert and store solar energy in the fields of resource, environment, food, and energy. To improve the system efficiency and reduce the operation cost, reaction platforms are introduced in APS's since they allow for great stability and continuous processing. A systematic understanding of how a reaction platform affects the performance of artificial photosynthesis is conducive for designing an APS with superb solar energy utilization. In this review, we discuss the recent APS's researches, especially those confined on/in platforms. The importance of different platforms and their influences on APS's performance are emphasized. Generally, confined platforms can enhance the stability and repeatability of both photocatalysts and biocatalysts in APS's as well as improve the photosynthetic performance due to the proximity effect. For functional platforms that can participate in the artificial photosynthesis reactions as active parts, a high integration of APS's components on/in these platforms can lead to efficient electron transfer, enhanced light-harvesting, or synergistic catalysis, resulting in superior photosynthesis performance. Therefore, the integration of APS's components is beneficial for the transfer of substrates and photoexcited electrons in artificial photosynthesis. We finally summarize the current challenges of APS's development and further efforts on the improvement of APS's.

Abstract
Coenzyme NADH regeneration is crucial for sustained photoenzymatic catalysis of CO2 reduction. However, light-driven NADH regeneration still suffers from the low regeneration efficiency and requires the use of a homogeneous Rh complex. Herein, a Rh complex-based electron transfer unit was chemically attached onto the linker of the MIL-125-NH2 . The coupling between the light-harvesting iminopyridine unit and electron-transferring Rh-complex facilitated the photo-induced electron transfer for the NADH regeneration with the yield of 66.4 % in 60 mins for 5 cycles. The formate dehydrogenase was further deposited onto the hydrophobic layer of the membrane by a reverse filtering technique, which forms the gas-liquid-solid reaction interface around the enzyme site. It gave an enhanced formic acid yield of 9.5 mM in 24 hours coupled with the in situ regenerated NADH. The work could shed light on the construction of integrated inorganic-enzyme hybrid systems for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Cheap artificial light harvesting systems, which competently harvest solar energy and promote efficient energy transfer, are highly sought after in the renewable sector. We report the synthesis of self-assembled peptide-porphyrin fibers (SJ 6) fabricated with iron (III) oxide (Fe3 O4 ) nanoparticles as feasible electron acceptors. Charge-complementarity between the negatively charged peptide (20E) and the protonated Zn-tetraphenyl porphyrin (ZnTPyP) led to an ordered assembly of the ZnTPyP molecules, enabling efficient light harvesting. X-ray diffraction data indicates a more ordered structure in SJ 6 compared to 20E and ZnTPyP. The incorporation of Fe3 O4 nanoparticles into SJ 6 showed significant fluorescence quenching, indicating efficient electron flow from the donor to the acceptor. The SJ 6-nFe3 O4 system performed the light reaction of photosynthesis as confirmed by the reduction of 1 mM NAD+ to 0.180 mM NADH upon exposure to visible light (Xe lamp λ > 420 nm) for 1 h. The photochemical regeneration of NADH using the SJ 6-nFe3 O4 system was coupled to glutamate dehydrogenase-catalyzed conversion of α-ketoglutarate to L-glutamate. These results confirm the successful synthesis of an artificial light harvesting peptide-porphyrin system with Fe3 O4 nanoparticles as promising low-cost electron separators.

Abstract
The simulation of the ion pumping against a proton gradient energized by light in photosynthesis is of significant importance for the energy conversion in a non-biological environment. Herein, we report light-powered ion pumping in a polystyrene sulfonate anion (PSS) doped polypyrrole (PPy) conducting polymer membrane (PSS-PPy) with a symmetric geometry. This PSS-PPy conducting polymer membrane exhibits a cationic selectivity and a light-responsive surface-charge-governed ion transport attributed to the negatively charged PSS groups. An asymmetric visible irradiation on one side of the PSS-PPy membrane induces a built-in electric field across the membrane due to the intrinsic photoelectronic property of PPy, which drives the cationic transport against the concentration gradient, demonstrating an ion-pumping effect. This work is a prototype that uses a geometry-symmetric conducting polymer membrane as a light-powered artificial ion pump for active ion transport, which exhibits potential applications in nanofluidic energy conversion.

Abstract
Enzymatic CO2 conversion offers a promising strategy for alleviating global warming and promoting renewable energy exploitation, while the high cost of cofactors is a bottleneck for large-scale applications. To address the challenge, cofactor regeneration is usually coupled with the enzymatic reaction. Meanwhile, artificial cofactors have been developed to further improve conversion efficiency and decrease cost. In this review, the methods, such as enzymatic, chemical, electrochemical, and photochemical catalysis, developed for cofactor regeneration, together with those developed artificial cofactors, were summarized and compared to offer a solution for large-scale enzymatic CO2 conversion in a sustainable way.

Abstract
Peptide-based supramolecular systems chemistry seeks to mimic the ability of life forms to use conserved sets of building blocks and chemical reactions to achieve a bewildering array of functions. Building on the design principles for short peptide-based nanomaterials with properties, such as self-assembly, recognition, catalysis, and actuation, are increasingly available. Peptide-based supramolecular systems chemistry is starting to address the far greater challenge of systems-level design to access complex functions that emerge when multiple reactions and interactions are coordinated and integrated. We discuss key features relevant to systems-level design, including regulating supramolecular order and disorder, development of active and adaptive systems by considering kinetic and thermodynamic design aspects and combinatorial dynamic covalent and noncovalent interactions. Finally, we discuss how structural and dynamic design concepts, including preorganization and induced fit, are critical to the ability to develop adaptive materials with adaptive and tunable photonic, electronic, and catalytic properties. Finally, we highlight examples where multiple features are combined, resulting in chemical systems and materials that display adaptive properties that cannot be achieved without this level of integration.

Abstract
Investigation of the self-assembly of peptides is critically important to clarify certain biophysical phenomena, fulfill some biological functions, and construct functional materials. However, it is still a challenge to precisely predict the self-assembled structures of peptides because of their complicated driving forces and various assembling pathways. In this work, to elucidate the effects of noncovalent interactions including hydrogen bonding, molecular geometry, and hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions on the peptide self-assembly, a series of asymmetric bolaamphiphilic short peptides consisting of Ac-EI3K-NH2 (EI3K), Ac-EI4K-NH2 (EI4K), Ac-KI3E-NH2 (KI3E) and Ac-KI4E-NH2 (KI4E) were designed and their self-assembling behaviors at different solution pH values were investigated systematically. The peptides self-assembled into twisted nanofibers under most conditions except for EI4K in a strongly alkaline solution and KI4E under a strongly acidic condition, in which they self-assembled into nanotubes via helical monolayer nanosheet intermediates. In particular, KI4E nanotubes are formed under acidic conditions, and its diameters are ∼500 nm much greater than most of the self-assembled structures from bolaamphiphilic peptides. Moreover, reversible morphological transition between the nanotubes and twisted nanofibers was observed with the change in solution pH. Such tunable self-assembled structures and switchable surface properties of the asymmetric bolaamphiphilic short-peptides allow them to be used as templates to construct advanced materials. Silica and titania nanomaterials faithful to the peptide templates in morphology were prepared at ambient temperature. This work clearly elucidates the effects of noncovalent interactions on the peptide self-assembly and also provides new insights into the design and preparation of complicated inorganic materials from tunable organic templates.

Abstract
This paper reports the self-assembly of a donor-acceptor system into nanoscopic structures and the photo processes taking place within these structures. The donor employed is pyrene linked to two β-cyclodextrin molecules (CD-PY-CD), and adamantane-linked methyl viologen attached to the three arms of mesitylene (Ms-(MV2+-AD)3) is the acceptor. CD-PY-CD and Ms-(MV2+-AD)3 when dissolved in water self-assembled into vesicles, which joined together to give long fibers. The self-assembly was studied using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Fluorescence of the pyrene chromophore was quenched within the self-assembled system due to efficient photoinduced electron transfer to methyl viologen. Photoinduced electron transfer within the assembly is confirmed through identification of product radical ions in flash photolysis experiments. Steady-state irradiation of the self-assembled system in an optical bench led to the formation of methyl viologen radical cation, which was stable for a few hours. Longevity of the radical cation was attributed to the fast reaction of pyrene radical cation with adjacent pyrene to give an unstable adduct, which slows down the back electron transfer process.

Abstract
Enzymes catalyse target reactions under mild conditions with high efficiency, as well as excellent regional-, stereo-, and enantiomeric selectivity. Photocatalysis utilises sustainable and environment-friendly light power to realise efficient chemical conversion. By combining the interdisciplinary advantages of photo- and enzymatic catalysis, the photocatalyst-enzyme hybrid systems have proceeded various light-driven biotransformation with high efficiency under environmentally benign conditions, thus, attracting unparalleled focus during the last decades. It has also been regarded as a promising pathway towards green chemistry utilising ubiquitous solar energy. This systematic review gives insight into this research field by classifying the existing photocatalyst-enzyme hybrid systems into three sections based on different hybridizing modes between photo- and enzymatic catalysis. Furthermore, existing challenges and proposed strategies are discussed within this context. The first system summarised is the cofactor-mediated hybrid system, in which natural/artificial cofactors act as reducing equivalents that connect photocatalysts with enzymes for light-driven enzymatic biotransformation. Second, the direct contact-based photocatalyst-enzyme hybrid systems are described, including two different kinds of electron exchange sites on the enzyme molecules. Third, some cases where photocatalysts and enzymes are integrated into a reaction cascade with specific intermediates will be discussed in the following chapter. Finally, we provide perspective concerning the future of this field.

Abstract
Herein, we illustrate the preparation of a covalent connected peptide-porphyrin hybrid (Fmoc-FF-(Zn)Por). The thorough investigation of its self-organization features demonstrated that Fmoc-FF-(Zn)Por self-assembles into either spheres or fibrils by altering the solvent mixture. Interestingly, photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution experiments revealed that fibrils were more efficient towards H2 production compared to spheres.

Abstract
Solar-driven photocatalytic regeneration of cofactors, including reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), could ensure the sustainable energy supply of enzymatic reactions catalyzed by oxidoreductases for the efficient synthesis of chemicals. However, the elevation of cofactor regeneration efficiency is severely hindered by the inefficient utilization of electrons transferred on the surface of photocatalysts. Inspired by the phenomenon of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR) anchoring on thylakoid membrane, herein, a homogeneous catalyst of rhodium (Rh) complex, [Cp∗Rh(bpy)H2O]2+, was anchored on polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) mediated by a tannic acid/polyethyleneimine (TA/PEI) adhesive layer, acquiring PCN@TA/PEI-Rh core@shell photocatalyst. Illuminated by visible light, electrons were excited from the PCN core, then transferred through the TA/PEI shell, and finally captured by the surface-anchored Rh for instant utilization during the regeneration of NADH. The TA/PEI-Rh shell could facilitate the electron transfer from the PCN core and, more importantly, achieved ~1.3-fold elevation of electron utilization efficiency compared with PCN. Accordingly, the PCN@TA/PEI-Rh afforded the NADH regeneration efficiency of 37.8% after 20 min reaction under LED light (405 nm) illumination, over 1.5 times higher than PCN with free Rh. Coupling of the NADH regeneration system with formate dehydrogenase achieved continuous production of formate from carbon dioxide (CO2). Our study may provide a generic and effective strategy to elevate the catalytic efficiency of a photocatalyst through intensifying the electron utilization.

Abstract
The covalent and noncovalent association of self-assembling peptides and tetrapyrroles was explored as a way to generate systems that mimic Nature's functional supramolecular structures. Different types of peptides spontaneously assemble with porphyrins, phthalocyanines, or corroles to give long-range ordered architectures, whose structure is determined by the features of both components. The regular morphology and ordered molecular arrangement of these systems enhance the photochemical properties of embedded chromophores, allowing applications as photo-catalysts, antennas for dye-sensitized solar cells, biosensors, and agents for light-triggered therapies. Chemical modifications of peptide and tetrapyrrole structures and control over the assembly process can steer the organization and influence the properties of the resulting system. Here we provide a review of the field, focusing on the assemblies obtained from different classes of self-assembling peptides with tetrapyrroles, their morphologies and their applications as innovative functional materials.

Abstract
Biomimetic construction of artificial photosystem capable of converting light energy to chemical energy is a promising strategy in solving the increasing serious energy and environmental problems. Herein, we present a new strategy to construct light-harvesting antenna via hierarchical co-assembly of short-peptide and porphyrin and subsequent self-metallization process. The hierarchically organized antenna exhibits both excellent photocatalytic performance and remarkable sustainability under strong light irradiation (35000 lx) and extraordinary sensitivity to weak light (700 lx). In such cases, light energy can be converted into chemical energy and stored in the energy-storage molecules (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NADH) even under weak light irradiation. This provides a promising step towards an artificial photosystem that can utilize weak light. Moreover, the structures and properties of the antenna are dependent on the competition of short-peptide self-assembling and co-assembling with porphyrin molecules and can be regulated by their molar ratio. This provides new insights into the design and construction of light-harvesting antennas with integrated functionality via precise control of pigments aggregation and coupling of different functional units.

Abstract
By a facile peripheral decoration of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (ATPP) with inherent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active tetraphenylethene (TPE), a versatile AIEgenic porphyrin derivative (ATPP-TPE) was obtained, which greatly abolishes the detrimental π-π stacking and thus surmounts the notorious aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of ATPP in aqueous phase. The photoluminescence of ATPP-TPE is 4.5-fold stronger than ATPP at aggregation state. Moreover, an unequivocal aggregation induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) of ATPP-TPE was found to be seriously dependent on its aggregation property in aqueous solution with efficiency of 34 %, which is 6 times higher than pure ATPP. The versatility of this molecular structure modulation strategy along with the ACQ-to-AIE transformation in this work provides direction to guide for applying liposoluble porphyrins in aqueous phase by designs of synthetic porphyrin AIEgens.

Abstract
We present a new strategy for the biomimetic preparation of integrated photoactive complexes consisting of light harvesting and electron separation/transfer components via the hierarchical assembly of porphyrin and platinum nanoparticles on the surface of short-peptide self-assembled structures. The complexes can catalyze the conversion of visible light energy into chemical energy in the absence of an electron mediator and store it as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). This provides a promising step towards artificial photosystems through precisely controlled interactions of light-capturing agents, electron separators and biomolecules.

Abstract
The precise regulation of nucleation growth and assembly of polymers is still an intriguing goal but an enormous challenge. In this study, we proposed a pre-polymerization strategy to regulate the assembly and growth of polymers by facilely controlling the concentration of polymerization initiator, and thus obtained two kinds of different nanosheet-based porphyrin polymer materials using tetrakis-5,10,15,20-(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin (TAPP) as the precursor. Notably, due to the π-π stacking and doping of TAPP during the preparation process, the obtained PTAPP-nanocube material exhibits a high intrinsic bulk conductivity reaching 1.49×10-4 S m-1 . Profiting from the large π-conjugated structure of porphyrin units, closely stacked layer structure and excellent conductivity, the resultant porphyrin polymers, as electrode materials for lithium ion batteries, deliver high specific capacity (≈650 mAh g-1 at the current density of 100 mA g-1 ), excellent rate performance and long-cycle stability, which are among the best reports of porphyrin polymer-based electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, such a pre-polymerization approach would provide a new insight for the controllable synthesis of polymers towards custom-made architecture and function.

Abstract
By coating photosynthetic bacteria of Rhodopseudomonas palustris with conjugated polymers nanoparticles modified with positively charged peptide TAT (CPNs-TAT), a bio-optical hybrid composite of R. palustris/CPNs-TAT has been constructed. R. palustris/CPNs-TAT augments the light coverage of R. palustris to broaden the R. palustris absorption due to excellent light-harvesting properties of CPNs-TAT, especially in the ultraviolet region. It leads to converting ultraviolet light to visible light that could be absorbed by R. palustris, allowing antenna systems around the reaction center (RC) of the photosynthetic membrane to absorb more photons, thus photons are excited and transferred to the RC where the electron-hole separation occurs. Therefore, R. palustris/CPNs-TAT improves adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis by increasing proton gradient, resulting in the enhancement of the photosynthetic activity. This effort combines synthetic light-harvesting materials with photosynthetic bacteria without complicated genetic techniques to obtain the hybrid bio-optical systems for augmenting photosynthesis beyond natural photosynthetic bacteria.

Abstract
All-DNA scaffolds act as templates for the organization of photosystem I model systems. A series of DNA templates composed of ZnII -protoporphyrin IX (ZnII PPIX)-functionalized G-quadruplex conjugated to the 3'- or 5'-end of the tyrosinamide (TA) aptamer and ZnII PPIX/G-quadruplex linked to the 3'- and 5'-ends of the TA aptamer through a four-thymidine bridge. Effective photoinduced electron transfer (ET) from ZnII PPIX/G-quadruplex to bipyridinium-functionalized tyrosinamide, TA-MV2+ , bound to the TA aptamer units is demonstrated. The effectiveness of the primary ET quenching of ZnII PPIX/G-quadruplex by TA-MV2+ controls the efficiency of the generation of TA-MV+. . The photosystem-controlled formation of TA-MV+. by the different photosystems dictates the secondary activation of the ET cascade corresponding to the ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR)-catalysed reduction of NADP+ to NADPH by TA-MV+. , and the sequestered alcohol dehydrogenase catalysed reduction of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol by NADPH.

Abstract
We report a new approach for large-scale alignment of micron-sized J-aggregates of a derivative of porphyrin onto planar glass substrates. We applied a unidirectional nitrogen flow to an aqueous dye drop deposited onto a glass substrate to form an about 5 nm thick film of aligned J-aggregates over macroscopic surface areas up to several millimeters. The inter-aggregate distance is ∼500 nm, and it scales with the nitrogen pressure. We verified the film thickness and J-aggregate alignment using multimodal microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. Our technique is fast, simple, and cost-effective for producing large two-dimensional (2-D) arrays of aligned emitters.

Abstract
Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such as carbon and other inorganic nanotubes. To date, diverse self-assembly processes and elaborate template procedures using rationally designed organic molecules have produced suitable tubular architectures with definite dimensions, structural complexity, and hierarchy for expected functions and applications. Herein, we comprehensively discuss every functions and possible applications of a wide range of SMNTs as bulk materials or single components. This Review highlights valuable contributions mainly in the past decade. Fifteen different families of SMNTs are discussed from the viewpoints of chemical, physical, biological, and medical applications, as well as action fields (e.g., interior, wall, exterior, whole structure, and ensemble of nanotubes). Chemical applications of the SMNTs are associated with encapsulating materials and sensors. SMNTs also behave, while sometimes undergoing morphological transformation, as a catalyst, template, liquid crystal, hydro-/organogel, superhydrophobic surface, and micron size engine. Physical functions pertain to ferro-/piezoelectricity and energy migration/storage, leading to the applications to electrodes or supercapacitors, and mechanical reinforcement. Biological functions involve artificial chaperone, transmembrane transport, nanochannels, and channel reactors. Finally, medical functions range over drug delivery, nonviral gene transfer vector, and virus trap.

Abstract
The design of green synthetic reaction conditions is very challenging, especially for biomaterials, but worthwhile if the compounds can be easily synthesized in the aqueous medium. Herein, we report the development of sunlight-mediated thiol-ene/yne click reaction in the presence of a catalytic amount of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) in an aqueous medium. The optimized reaction conditions were successfully applied to synthesize a series of small molecules and lipids in a single step in the aqueous medium. The synthetic cationic lipid/co-lipid formed positively charged stable nanosized liposomes that effectually bind with the genetic materials. The in vitro DNA transfection and cellular uptake assays showed that the synthesized cationic lipids have comparable efficiency to commercially available Lipofectamine 2000. This mild synthetic strategy can also be used for smart design of novel or improvement of prevailing lipid-based nonviral gene delivery systems. Such chemical transformations in the aqueous medium are more environment-friendly than other reported thiol-ene/yne click reactions performed in an organic solvent medium.

Abstract
The broadband C3N4 semiconductor absorbs in the UV region, λ = 330-380 nm, a feature limiting its application for light-to-energy conversion. The unique surface adsorption properties of C3N4 allow, however, the binding of a photosensitizer, operating in the visible-solar spectrum to the surface of C3N4. Coupling of the energy levels of the photosensitizer with the energy levels of C3N4 allows effective photoinduced electron-transfer quenching and subsequent charge separation in the hybrid structures. Two methods to adsorb a photosensitizer on the C3N4 nanoparticles are described. One is exemplified by the adsorption of Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX on C3N4 using π-π interactions. The second method utilizes the specific binding interactions of single-stranded nucleic acids on C3N4 and involves the binding of a Ru(II)-tris-bipyridine-modified nucleic acid on the C3N4 nanoparticles. Effective electron-transfer quenching of the photoexcited photosensitizers by C3N4 proceeds in the two hybrid systems. The two hybrid photosystems induce the effective photosensitized reduction of N,N'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium, MV2+, to MV+•, in the presence of Na2EDTA as a sacrificial electron donor. The generation of MV+• is ca. 5-fold higher as compared to the formation of MV+• in the presence of the photosensitizer alone (in the absence of C3N4). The effective generation of MV+• in the photosystems is attributed to the efficient quenching of the photosensitizers, followed by effective charge separation of the electrons in the conduction band of C3N4 and the holes in the oxidized photosensitizer. The subsequent transfer of the conduction-band electrons to MV2+ and the oxidation of Na2EDTA by the oxidized photosensitizers lead to the effective formation of MV+•. The photogenerated MV+• by the two hybrid photosystems is used to catalyze H2 evolution in the presence of Pt nanoparticle catalysts and to mediate the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, in the presence of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase, FNR. The ability to couple the photogenerated NADPH to drive NADP+-dependent biocatalytic transformations is demonstrated.

Abstract
Significant efforts in the field of supramolecular materials have strived to co-assemble small molecules in order to realize individual nanostructures with multiple, tunable activities. The design of self-assembling motifs bearing opposite charges is one commonly used method, with favorable electrostatic interactions used to promote mixing in a resulting co-assembly. This approach, at the same time, contrasts with a typical thermodynamic preference for self-sorting. Moreover, rigorous experimental techniques which can clearly elucidate co-assembly from self-sorting are limited. Here we describe the self-assembly of two oppositely charged tetrapeptides yielding highly disparate nanostructures of fibrillar and spherical assemblies. Upon mixing at different ratios, the disparate nanostructure of the parent peptides remain. Interestingly, while the assemblies appear self-sorted, surface-mediated interactions between spherical and fibrous assemblies translate to increased mechanical properties through enhanced fiber bundling. Moreover, the observed self-sorting is a thermodynamic product and not a result of kinetically trapped pre-existing structures. Taken together, and with the benefit of disparate nanostructures in the parent peptides, we have shown in our system experimental evidence for electrostatic-driven self-sorting in oligopeptide self-assembly.

Abstract
Sequence-specific aptamers act as functional scaffolds for the assembly of photosynthetic model systems. The Ru(II)-tris-bipyridine photosensitizer is conjugated by different binding modes to the antityrosinamide aptamer to yield a set of photosensitizer-aptamer binding scaffolds. The N-methyl-N'-(3-aminopropane)-4,4'-bipyridinium electron acceptor, MV2+, is covalently linked to tyrosinamide, TA, to yield the conjugate TA-MV2+. The tyrosinamide unit in TA-MV2+ acts as a ligand for anchoring TA-MV2+ to the Ru(II)-tris-bipyridine-aptamer scaffold, generating the diversity of photosensitizer-aptamer/electron acceptor supramolecular conjugates. Effective electron transfer quenching in the photosynthetic model systems is demonstrated, and the quenching efficiencies are controlled by the structural features of the conjugates. The redox species generated by the photosensitizer-aptamer/electron acceptor supramolecular systems mediate the ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase, FNR, catalyzed synthesis of NADPH, and the Pt-nanoparticle-catalyzed evolution of hydrogen (H2). The novelty of the study rests on the unprecedented use of aptamer scaffolds as functional units for organizing photosynthetic model systems.

Abstract
In the present exploration, a few Si-B-N derivatives are derived to adsorb Li ions and CO2 gas molecules for the potential application of metal-air batteries. The newly derived structure's bond lengths are as follows: Si=Si, 2.2 Å; Si-B, 1.9 Å; Si-N, 1.7 Å; and B-N, 1.4 Å, consistent with the experimental results of relevant structures. The stability of the newly derived structures is examined by the atom-centered density propagation study by varying the temperature from 270 to 400 K, and no structural variations are observed throughout the dynamics. Li adsorption on the Si4B2 ring has the maximum binding energy of -3.9 eV, and the result is consistent with the previous results. The rings with the 2:1 silicon-boron ratio provide strong adsorption for Li atoms. The calculated maximum electromotive force of the newly derived sheets is 0.56 V with the maximum theoretical density of 783 Wh/kg. Similarly, the maximum adsorption of CO2 on the sheet is -0.106 eV, which is considerably higher than that on graphene and its derivatives. CO2 adsorption has been carried out in the presence of water molecules to investigate the change in CO2 adsorption with the moisture (water) content, and the results show no significant change in the adsorption of CO2 with moisture. However, water has a strong interaction with the maximum interaction energy of -0.72 eV. Further, to explore the potential ability of the sheets, each sheet's edges are examined as hydrogen storage expedient and the surface as an artificial photosynthesis platform. The Si4B2 ring is more favorable for the adsorption of H atom with the chemisorption of -7.138 eV. Similarly, all of the major UV-absorption spectral peaks fall between 450 and 800 nm, which shows that the sheet can be used as an artificial photosynthesis platform.

Abstract
Bioinspired nanostructures can be the ideal functional smart materials to bridge the fundamental biology, biomedicine and nanobiotechnology fields. Among them, short peptides are among the most preferred building blocks as they can self-assemble to form versatile supramolecular architectures displaying unique physical and chemical properties, including intriguing optical features. Herein, we discuss the progress made over the past few decades in the design and characterization of optical short peptide nanomaterials, focusing on their intrinsic photoluminescent and waveguiding performances, along with the diverse modulation strategies. We review the complicated optical properties and the advanced applications of photoactive short peptide self-assemblies, including photocatalysis, as well as photothermal and photodynamic therapy. The diverse advantages of photoactive short peptide self-assemblies, such as eco-friendliness, morphological and functional flexibility, and ease of preparation and modification, endow them with the capability to potentially serve as next-generation, bio-organic optical materials, allowing the bridging of the optics world and the nanobiotechnology field.

Abstract
In this work, porphyrin-based MOF nanosheets were formulated. The as-developed Gd-TCPP MOF nanosheets could be protonated significantly in an acidic solution, which greatly enhanced the UV-vis absorption at 665 nm. Also, a significant structural reorganization occurred to achieve a nanowire structure. As the center of the porphyrin had a metal coordination atom, the Q band absorption had better stability due to their inability to be protonated. These results confirm that the UV-vis absorption of the MOFs can be regulated via porphyrin protonation, and the protonation of the nanosheets in the acidic solution can be avoided by adding a metal coordination atom to the porphyrin center. We also found that zinc ions had better coordination ability with the pyrrole nitrogen of the inner porphyrin core of Gd-TCPP MOF nanosheets. Finally, the protonation of MOFs was confirmed by the yield of singlet oxygen. Also, metallic oxide nanoparticles can be formed in situ and adsorbed on the Gd-TCPP MOF nanosheets. These results are useful for the preparation of metallic oxide nanoparticle-loaded nanomaterials. This work may open novel avenues for changing the UV-vis absorption of porphyrin-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
Bioinspired synthesis offers potential green strategies to build highly complex nanomaterials by utilizing the unique nanostructures, functions, and properties of biomolecules, in which the biomolecular recognition and self-assembly processes play important roles in tailoring the structures and functions of bioinspired materials. Further understanding of biomolecular self-assembly for inspiring the formation and assembly of nanoparticles would promote the design and fabrication of functional nanomaterials for various applications. In this review, we focus on recent advances in bioinspired synthesis and applications of hierarchical nanomaterials based on biomolecular self-assembly. We first discuss biomolecular self-assembly towards biological nanomaterials, in which the mechanisms and ways of biomolecular self-assembly as well as various self-assembled biomolecular nanostructures are demonstrated. Secondly, the bioinspired synthesis strategies including molecule-molecule interaction, molecule-material recognition, molecule-mediated nucleation and growth, and molecule-mediated reduction/oxidation are introduced and discussed. Meanwhile, typical examples and discussions on how biomolecular self-assembly inspires the formation of hierarchical hybrid nanomaterials are presented. Finally, the applications of bioinspired nanomaterials in biofuel cells, light-harvesting systems, batteries, supercapacitors, catalysis, water/air purification, and environmental monitoring are presented and discussed. We believe that this review will be very helpful for readers to understand the self-assembly of biomolecules and the biomimetic/bioinspired strategies for synthesizing hierarchical nanomaterials on the one hand, and on the other hand to design novel materials for extended applications in nanotechnology, materials science, analytical science, and biomedical engineering.

Abstract
Amyloidogenic peptides can self-assemble into highly ordered nanostructures consisting of cross β-sheet-rich networks that exhibit unique physicochemical properties and high stability. Light-harvesting amyloid nanofibrils are constructed by employing insulin as a building block and thioflavin T (ThT) as a amyloid-specific photosensitizer. The ability of the self-assembled amyloid scaffold to accommodate and align ThT in high density on its surface allows for efficient energy transfer from the chromophores to the catalytic units in a similar way to natural photosystems. Insulin nanofibrils significantly enhance the photoactivity of ThT by inhibiting nonradiative conformational relaxation around the central CC bonds and narrowing the distance between ThT molecules that are bound to the β-sheet-rich amyloid structure. It is demonstrated that the ThT-amyloid hybrid nanostructure is suitable for biocatalytic solar-to-chemical conversion by integrating the light-harvesting amyloid module (for nicotinamide cofactor regeneration) with a redox biocatalytic module (for enzymatic reduction).

Abstract
Noncovalent interactions are the main driving force in the folding of proteins into a 3D functional structure. Motivated by the wish to reveal the mechanisms of the associated self-assembly processes, scientists are focusing on studying self-assembly processes of short protein segments (peptides). While this research has led to major advances in the understanding of biological and pathological process, only in recent years has the applicative potential of the resulting self-assembled peptide assemblies started to be explored. Here, major advances in the development of biomimetic supramolecular peptide assemblies as coatings, gels, and as electroactive materials, are highlighted. The guiding lines for the design of helical peptides, β strand peptides, as well as surface binding monolayer-forming peptides that can be utilized for a specific function are highlighted. Examples of their applications in diverse immerging applications in, e.g., ecology, biomedicine, and electronics, are described. Taking into account that, in addition to extraordinary design flexibility, these materials are naturally biocompatible and ecologically friendly, and their production is cost effective, the emergence of devices incorporating these biomimetic materials in the market is envisioned in the near future.

Abstract
An organic semiconducting polymer nanobiocatalyst (SPNB) composed of a semiconducting polymer core conjugated with microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) has been developed for photoactivation of intracellular redox. The core serves as the light-harvesting unit to initiate photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and facilitate the regeneration of dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), while CYP is the catalytic center for intracellular redox. Under light irradiation, the semiconducting core can efficiently catalyze the generation of NADPH with a turnover frequency (TOF) 75 times higher than the reported nanosystems, ensuring the supply of the cofactor for intracellular redox. SPNB-mediated intracellular redox thus can be efficiently activated by light in living cells to convert the model substrate and also to trigger the bioactivation of anticancer drugs. This study provides an organic nanobiocatalytic system that allows light to remotely control intracellular redox in living systems.
