Abstract
Organic and metal-free molecules with piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties have gained wide interest for their applications in the domain of mechanical energy harvesting due to their desirable properties such as light weight, thermal stability, mechanical flexibility, feasibility to achieve high Curie temperatures, and ease of synthesis. However, the understanding and design of these materials for piezoelectric energy harvesting applications is still in its early stages. This review paper presents a comprehensive overview of the fundamental characterization of piezoelectricity for a range of organic ferro- and piezoelectric materials and their composites. It also discusses the limitations of traditional piezoelectric materials and highlights the advantages of organic materials in this area in the introduction part. In addition, the paper provides a detailed description of peptide-based and other biomolecular piezoelectric materials as a bio-friendly alternative to current materials. This perspective aims to guide researchers in designing functional organic materials and composites for practical mechanical energy harvesting applications and to highlight current limitations and future perspectives in this emerging area of research.

Abstract
The neurological symptoms of COVID-19, often referred to as neuro-COVID include neurological pain, memory loss, cognitive and sensory disruption. These neurological symptoms can persist for months and are known as Post-Acute Sequalae of COVID-19 (PASC). The molecular origins of neuro-COVID, and how it contributes to PASC are unknown, however a growing body of research highlights that the self-assembly of protein fragments from SARS-CoV-2 into amyloid nanofibrils may play a causative role. Previously, we identified two fragments from the SARS-CoV-2 proteins, Open Reading Frame (ORF) 6 and ORF10, that self-assemble into neurotoxic amyloid assemblies. Here we further our understanding of the self-assembly mechanisms and nano-architectures formed by these fragments and their biological responses. By solubilising the peptides in a fluorinated solvent, we eliminate insoluble aggregates in the starting materials (seeds) that change the polymorphic landscape of the assemblies. The resultant assemblies are dominated by structures with higher free energies (e.g. ribbons and amorphous aggregates) that are less toxic to cultured neurons but do affect their mitochondrial respiration. We also show the first direct evidence of cellular uptake of viral amyloids. This work highlights the importance of understanding the polymorphic behaviour of amyloids and the correlation to neurotoxicity, particularly in the context of neuro-COVID and PASC.

Abstract
Piezoelectric and ferroelectric technologies are currently dominated by perovskite-based ceramics, not only due to their impressive figures of merit, but due to their versatility in size and shape. This allows the dimensions of, for example, lead zirconium titanate and potassium sodium niobate, to be tailored to the needs of thousands of applications across the automotive, medical device, and consumer electronics industries. In this Letter, we significantly advance the performance and customization of biomolecular crystal (nontoxic, biocompatible amino acids, viz., trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, L-alanine, hydrates of L-arginine and L-asparagine, and γ-glycine) assemblies by growing them as molded, substrate-free piezoelectric elements. This methodology allows for electromechanical properties to be embedded in these assemblies by fine-tuning the chemistry of the biomolecules and thus the functional properties of the single crystal space group. Here, we report the piezoelectric, mechanical, thermal, and structural properties of these amino acid-based polycrystalline actuators. This versatile, low-cost, low-temperature growth method opens up the path to phase in biomolecular piezoelectrics as high-performance, eco-friendly alternatives to ceramics.

Abstract
Crystalline materials exhibiting non-centrosymmetry and possessing substantial surface dipole moments play a critical role in piezoelectricity. Designing biocompatible self-assembled materials with these attributes is particularly challenging when compared to inorganic materials and ceramics. In this study, we elucidate the crystal conformations of novel cyclic peptides that exhibit self-assembly into tubular structures characterized by unidirectional hydrogen bonding and piezoelectric properties. Unlike cyclic peptides derived from alternating L- and D-amino acids, those derived from new δ-amino acids demonstrate the formation of self-assembled tubes with unidirectional hydrogen bonds. Further, the tightly packed tubular assemblies and higher macrodipole moments result in superior piezoelectric coefficients compared to peptides with lower macrodipole moments. Our findings underscore the potential for designing cyclic peptides with unidirectional hydrogen bonds, thereby paving the way for their application in design of biocompatible piezo- and ferroelectric materials.

Abstract
Herein, we explore the intricate pathway complexity, focusing on the dynamic interplay between kinetic and thermodynamic states, during the supramolecular self-assembly of peptides. We uncover a multiresponsive chiroptical switching phenomenon influenced by temperature, denaturation and content of cosolvent in peptide self-assembly through pathway complexity (kinetic vs. thermodynamic state). Particularly noteworthy is the observation of chiroptical switching during the denaturation process, marking an unprecedented phenomenon in the literature. Furthermore, the variation in cosolvent contents produces notable chiroptical switching effects, emphasizing their infrequent incidence. Such chiroptical switching yields switchable piezoresponsive peptide-based nanomaterials, demonstrating the potential for dynamic control over material properties. In essence, our work pioneers the ability to control piezoresponsive behavior by transforming nanostructures from kinetic to thermodynamic states through pathway complexity. This approach provides new insights and opportunities for tailoring material properties in self-assembled systems.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly aged over 65. The extracellular accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) aggregates in the brain is considered as the major event worsening the AD symptoms, but its underlying reason has remained unclear. Here the piezoelectric characteristics of Aβ aggregates are revealed. The vector piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) analysis results exhibit that Aβ fibrils have spiraling piezoelectric domains along the length and a lateral piezoelectric constant of 44.1 pC N-1. Also, the continuous sideband Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) images display that the increment of charge-induced surface potential on a single Aβ fibril is allowed to reach above +1700 mV in response to applied forces. These findings shed light on the peculiar mechano-electrical surface properties of pathological Aβ fibrils that exceed those of normal body components.

Abstract
Bioelectricity plays a crucial role in organisms, being closely connected to neural activity and physiological processes. Disruptions in the nervous system can lead to chaotic ionic currents at the injured site, causing disturbances in the local cellular microenvironment, impairing biological pathways, and resulting in a loss of neural functions. Electromagnetic stimulation has the ability to generate internal currents, which can be utilized to counter tissue damage and aid in the restoration of movement in paralyzed limbs. By incorporating implanted materials, electromagnetic stimulation can be targeted more accurately, thereby significantly improving the effectiveness and safety of such interventions. Currently, there have been significant advancements in the development of numerous promising electromagnetic stimulation strategies with diverse materials. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the fundamental theories, neural stimulation modulating materials, material application strategies, and pre-clinical therapeutic effects associated with electromagnetic stimulation for neural repair. It offers a thorough analysis of current techniques that employ materials to enhance electromagnetic stimulation, as well as potential therapeutic strategies for future applications.

Abstract
The treatment of chronic refractory wounds poses significant challenges and threats to both human society and the economy. Existing research studies demonstrate that electrical stimulation fosters cell proliferation and migration and promotes the production of cytokines that expedites the wound healing process. Presently, clinical settings utilize electrical stimulation devices for wound treatment, but these devices often present issues such as limited portability and the necessity for frequent recharging. A cutting-edge wound dressing employing the piezoelectric effect could transform mechanical energy into electrical energy, thereby providing continuous electrical stimulation and accelerating wound healing, effectively addressing these concerns. This review primarily reviews the selection of piezoelectric materials and their application in wound dressing design, offering a succinct overview of these materials and their underlying mechanisms. This study also provides a perspective on the current limitations of piezoelectric wound dressings and the future development of multifunctional dressings harnessing the piezoelectric effect.

Abstract
Organic ferroelectric (FE) materials, though known for more than a century, are yet to reach close to the benchmark of inorganic or hybrid materials in terms of the magnitude of polarization. Amongst the different classes of organic systems, donor (D)-acceptor (A) charge-transfer (CT) complexes are recognized as promising for ferroelectricity owing to their neutral-to-ionic phase transition at low temperature. This review presents an overview of different supramolecular D-A systems that have been explored for FE phase transitions. The discussion begins with a general introduction of ferroelectricity and its different associated parameters. Then it moves on to show early examples of CT cocrystals that have shown FE properties at sub-ambient temperature. Subsequently, recent developments in the field of room temperature (RT) ferroelectricity, exhibited by H-bond-stabilized lock-arm supramolecular-ordering (LASO) in D-A co-crystals or other FE CT-crystals devoid of neutral-ionic phase transition are discussed. Then the discussion moves on to emerging reports on other D-A soft materials such as gel and foldable polymers; finally it shows very recent developments in ferroelectricity in supramolecular assemblies of single-component dipolar or ambipolar π-systems, exhibiting intra-molecular charge transfer. The effects of structural nuances such as H-bonding, balanced charge transfer and chirality on the observed ferroelectricity is described with the available examples. Finally, piezoelectricity in recently reported ambipolar ADA-type systems are discussed to highlight the future potential of these soft materials in micropower energy harvesting.

Abstract
Inspired by natural hierarchical self-assembly of proteins and peptides, amino acids, as the basic building units, have been shown to self-assemble to form highly ordered structures through supramolecular interactions. The fabrication of functional biomaterials comprised of extremely simple biomolecules has gained increasing interest due to the advantages of biocompatibility, easy functionalization, and structural modularity. In particular, amino acid based assemblies have shown attractive physical characteristics for various bionanotechnology applications. Herein, we propose a review paper to summarize the design strategies as well as research advances of amino acid based supramolecular assemblies as smart functional materials. We first briefly introduce bioinspired reductionist design strategies and assembly mechanism for amino acid based molecular assembly materials through noncovalent interactions in condensed states, including self-assembly, metal ion mediated coordination assembly, and coassembly. In the following part, we provide an overview of the properties and functions of amino acid based materials toward applications in nanotechnology and biomedicine. Finally, we give an overview of the remaining challenges and future perspectives on the fabrication of amino acid based supramolecular biomaterials with desired properties. We believe that this review will promote the prosperous development of innovative bioinspired functional materials formed by minimalistic building blocks.

Abstract
Biomolecular piezoelectric materials are envisioned for advanced biomedical applications for their robust piezoelectricity, biocompatibility, and flexibility. Here, we report the piezoelectric property of amyloid fibrils derived from three distinct proteins: lysozyme, insulin, and amyloid-β. We found that piezoelectric properties are dependent on the extent of the β-sheet structure and the extent of fibril anisotropy. We have observed the piezoelectric constant value in the range of 24-42 pm/V for fibrils made of lysozyme/insulin/amyloid-β, and for the sheet/bundle-like structure of lysozyme aggregates, the value becomes 62 pm/V. These piezoelectric constant values are 4-10 times higher than the native lysozyme/insulin/amyloid proteins. Computational studies show that extension of the β-sheet structure produces an asymmetric arrangement of charges (in creating dipole moment) and mechanical stress induces an aligned orientation of these dipoles that results in a piezoelectric effect. It is shown that these piezoelectric fibrils can harvest mechanical as well as ultrasound-based energy to produce a voltage of up to 1 V and a current of up to 13 nA. These fibrils are employed for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under ultrasound exposure and utilized for ultrasonic degradation of organic pollutants or killing of cancer cells via intracellular ROS generation under ultrasound exposure. Our findings demonstrate that the piezoelectric property of protein fibrils has potential for wireless therapeutic applications and may have physiological roles that are yet to be explored.

Abstract
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, the unique optical and electronic properties of peptide-based nanostructures, including peptides self-assembly and peptides regulate the assembly of external function subunits, are systematically reviewed. Additionally, their applications in biomedicine, sensing, and energy storage are also highlighted. 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.

Abstract
The FAxMA1-xPbI3 single crystal has excellent semiconductor photoelectric performance and good stability; however, there have been conflicting opinions regarding its macroscopic piezoelectricity. Here, the FAxMA1-xPbI3 (x = 0-0.1) single crystals (FAx SCs) exhibit a high macroscopic piezoelectric d33 coefficient of over 10 pC/N. The single crystal transforms from a tetragonal ferroelectric phase to a cubic paraelectric phase at x = 0.1-0.125. Furthermore, the fully polarized MAPbI3 and FA0.05 SCs were applied to prepare self-powered X-ray detectors with vertical structures. The sensitivity of the detector reaches 5.1 × 104 μC·Gy-1·cm-2 under a 0 V bias voltage, and its detection limit is as low as 50 nGy/s. This work provides an approach to designing self-powered and high-quality detectors with piezoelectric semiconductors.

Abstract
Short designer self-assembling peptide (dSAP) biomaterials are a new addition to the hemostat group. It may provide a diverse and robust toolbox for surgeons to integrate wound microenvironment with much safer and stronger hemostatic capacity than conventional materials and hemostatic agents. Especially in noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH), diffuse mucosal surface bleeding, and internal medical bleeding (IMB), with respect to the optimal hemostatic formulation, dSAP biomaterials are the ingenious nanofiber alternatives to make bioactive neural scaffold, nasal packing, large mucosal surface coverage in gastrointestinal surgery (esophagus, gastric lesion, duodenum, and lower digestive tract), epicardiac cell-delivery carrier, transparent matrix barrier, and so on. Herein, in multiple surgical specialties, dSAP-biomaterial-based nano-hemostats achieve safe, effective, and immediate hemostasis, facile wound healing, and potentially reduce the risks in delayed bleeding, rebleeding, post-operative bleeding, or related complications. The biosafety in vivo, bleeding indications, tissue-sealing quality, surgical feasibility, and local usability are addressed comprehensively and sequentially and pursued to develop useful surgical techniques with better hemostatic performance. Here, the state of the art and all-round advancements of nano-hemostatic approaches in surgery are provided. Relevant critical insights will inspire exciting investigations on peptide nanotechnology, next-generation biomaterials, and better promising prospects in clinics.

Abstract
The concept of using mRNA to produce its own medicine in situ in the body makes it an ideal drug candidate, holding great potential to revolutionize the way we approach medicine. The unique characteristics of mRNA, as well as its customizable biomedical functions, call for the rational design of delivery systems to protect and transport mRNA molecules. In this review, a nanoparticle toolkit is presented for the development of mRNA-based therapeutics from a drug delivery perspective. Nano-delivery systems derived from either natural systems or chemical synthesis, in the nature of organic or inorganic materials, are summarised. Delivery strategies in controlling the tissue targeting and mRNA release, as well as the role of nanoparticles in building and boosting the activity of mRNA drugs, have also been introduced. In the end, our insights into the clinical and translational development of mRNA nano-drugs are presented.

Abstract
The development of next-generation bioelectronics, as well as the powering of consumer and medical devices, require power sources that are soft, flexible, extensible, and even biocompatible. Traditional energy storage devices (typically, batteries and supercapacitors) are rigid, unrecyclable, offer short-lifetime, contain hazardous chemicals and possess poor biocompatibility, hindering their utilization in wearable electronics. Therefore, there is a genuine unmet need for a new generation of innovative energy-harvesting materials that are soft, flexible, bio-compatible, and bio-degradable. Piezoelectric gels or PiezoGels are a smart crystalline form of gels with polar ordered structures that belongs to the broader family of piezoelectric material, which generate electricity in response to mechanical stress or deformation. Given that PiezoGels are structurally similar to hydrogels, they offer several advantages including intrinsic chirality, crystallinity, degree of ordered structures, mechanical flexibility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, emphasizing their potential applications ranging from power generation to bio-medical applications. Herein, we describe recent examples of new functional PiezoGel materials employed for energy harvesting, sensing, and wound dressing applications. First, this review focuses on the principles of piezoelectric generators (PEGs) and the advantages of using hydrogels as PiezoGels in energy and biomedical applications. Next, we provide a detailed discussion on the preparation, functionalization, and fabrication of PiezoGel-PEGs (P-PEGs) for the applications of energy harvesting, sensing and wound healing/dressing. Finally, this review concludes with a discussion of the current challenges and future directions of P-PEGs.

Abstract
Piezoelectric biomaterials have attracted great attention owing to the recent recognition of the impact of piezoelectricity on biological systems and their potential applications in implantable sensors, actuators, and energy harvesters. However, their practical use is hindered by the weak piezoelectric effect caused by the random polarization of biomaterials and the challenges of large-scale alignment of domains. Here, we present an active self-assembly strategy to tailor piezoelectric biomaterial thin films. The nanoconfinement-induced homogeneous nucleation overcomes the interfacial dependency and allows the electric field applied in-situ to align crystal grains across the entire film. The β-glycine films exhibit an enhanced piezoelectric strain coefficient of 11.2 pm V-1 and an exceptional piezoelectric voltage coefficient of 252 × 10-3 Vm N-1. Of particular significance is that the nanoconfinement effect greatly improves the thermostability before melting (192 °C). This finding offers a generally applicable strategy for constructing high-performance large-sized piezoelectric bio-organic materials for biological and medical microdevices.

Abstract
Variation in the molecular architecture significantly affects the electronic and supramolecular structure of biomolecular assemblies, leading to dramatically altered piezoelectric response. However, relationship between molecular building block chemistry, crystal packing and quantitative electromechanical response is still not fully understood. Herein, we systematically explored the possibility to amplify the piezoelectricity of amino acid-based assemblies by supramolecular engineering. We show that a simple change of side-chain in acetylated amino acids leads to increased polarization of the supramolecular arrangements, resulting in significant enhancement of their piezoelectric response. Moreover, compared to most of the natural amino acid assemblies, chemical modification of acetylation increased the maximum piezoelectric tensors. The predicted maximal piezoelectric strain tensor and voltage constant of acetylated tryptophan (L-AcW) assemblies reach 47 pm V-1 and 1719 mV m/N, respectively, comparable to commonly used inorganic materials such as bismuth triborate crystals. We further fabricated an L-AcW crystal-based piezoelectric power nanogenerator that produces a high and stable open-circuit voltage of over 1.4 V under mechanical pressure. For the first time, the illumination of a light-emitting diode (LED) is demonstrated by the power output of an amino acid-based piezoelectric nanogenerator. This work presents the supramolecular engineering toward the systematic modulation of piezoelectric response in amino acid-based assemblies, facilitating the development of high-performance functional biomaterials from simple, readily available, and easily tailored building blocks.

Abstract
Supramolecular assemblies with well-defined structural attenuation toward varied functional implications are an emerging area in mimicking natural biomaterials. In that regard, the redox stimuli-responsive ferrocene moiety can reversibly change between a nonpolar ferrocenyl and polar ferrocenium cation that endows interesting modular features to the building blocks with respect to self-assembly/disassembly. We design a series of ferrocene anchored peptide fragment NVFFAKKC using hydrophobic alkyl spacers of different chain lengths. Increasing the spacer length between the redox-responsive and self-assembling motifs increases the propensity to form robust nanofibers, which can be physically cross-linked to form hydrogels. The controlled redox response of the ferrocene moiety tandem with pH control provides access to structural control over the peptide nanostructures and tunable mechanical strengths. Further, such redox-sequestered dormant states hinder the spontaneous nucleation process that we exploit toward seeded supramolecular polymerization to form block cofibers composed of redox-responsive periphery and nonresponsive cores. Finally, such redox sequestration of peptide self-assembly renders an on-off piezoelectric response for potential utilization in peptide bioelectronics.

Abstract
Flexible piezoelectrics realise the conversion between mechanical movements and electrical power by conformally attaching onto curvilinear surfaces, which are promising for energy harvesting of biomedical devices due to their sustainable body movements and/or deformations. Developing secondary functions of flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters is becoming increasingly significant in recent years via aiming at issues that cannot be addressed or mitigated by merely increasing piezoelectric efficiencies. These issues include loose interfacial contact and pucker generation by stretching, power shortage or instability induced by inadequate mechanical energy, and premature function degeneration or failure caused by fatigue fracture after cyclic deformations. Herein, the expedient secondary functions of flexible piezoelectrics to mitigate above issues are reviewed, including stretchability, hybrid energy harvesting, and self-healing. Efforts have been devoted to understanding the state-of-the-art strategies and their mechanisms of achieving secondary functions based on piezoelectric fundamentals. The link between structural characteristic and function performance is unravelled by providing insights into carefully selected progresses. The remaining challenges of developing secondary functions are proposed in the end with corresponding outlooks. The current work hopes to help and inspire future research in this promising field focusing on developing the secondary functions of flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters.

Abstract
Biomolecule-based electronic materials can enable health innovations by virtue of their intrinsic bioactivity and physical properties. However, the ultra-wide bandgap and limited piezoelectric properties of most biomaterials prevent them from reaching their full potential. Herein, the electronic structures and electromechanical properties of aliphatic amino acid crystals are investigated based on density functional theory. L-Met is found to be a wide bandgap p-type semiconductor, and the much-reduced bandgap of 2.88 eV is ascribed to the sulphur atoms in L-Met. L-Leu has a shear piezoelectric voltage constant of 2.706 V mN-1 that is over an order of magnitude higher than that of lead zirconate titanate, and good toughness and ductility are also revealed in L-Leu from mechanical property investigations. This study illustrates a computational approach to find smart and multifunctional biomaterials and inspire their growth and applications.

Abstract
Flexible and biocompatible metal peptide frameworks (MPFs) derived from short and ultra-short peptides have been explored for the storage of greenhouse gases, molecular recognition, and chiral transformations. In addition to short flexible peptides, peptides with specifically folded conformations have recently been utilized to fabricate a variety of metal helix frameworks (MHFs). The secondary structures of the peptides govern the structure-assembly relationship and thereby control the formation of three-dimensional (3D)-MHFs. Particularly, the hierarchical structural organization of peptide-based MHFs has not yet been discussed in detail. Here, we describe the recent progress of metal-driven folded peptide assembly to construct 3D porous structures for use in future energy storage, chiral recognition, and biomedical applications, which could be envisioned as an alternative to the conventional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Abstract
Proline is water soluble amino acid extensively used in drug delivery systems. Compounds of cobalt (Co) transition metal have potent antimicrobial and anticancer activities. However, a drug delivery system combining proline cobalt is not reported yet. For the first time, new hybrid semi-organic single crystals of proline cobalt chloride (PCC) are prepared. The novelty of the article is also that single crystal proline cobalt chloride showed potent antimicrobial and antitumor activity. Doping of PCC by Ag0NPs significantly increased these biological activities. The anisotropic magnetic properties of single crystals can mitigate the cytotoxicity of Ag0NPs on normal cells. Silver nanoparticles (Ag0NPs) improved the crystal habits and physicochemical properties. Ag0NPs showed the best performance, paramagnetic materials n-type semiconductors due to delocalized excess electrons of Ag0NPs incorporated in the crystal lattice interstitially. Crystals have high absorptivity for UV-radiation electromagnetic radiation. Ag0NPs enhanced AC electrical conductivity up to 2.3 × 104 Ω cm-1 due to high electron density. Proline doped crystals are obtained in good purity as triclinic unit cell with having anisotropic magnetism. PCCAg0NPs crystal exhibited: high antimicrobial activities to various bacterial and fungal species, inhibition zone (mm): 21, 25, 24, 26, 30, 28, 12, and 46 for S. aureus, E. faecalis, S. typhi, E. coli, P. aerugino, K. pneumoniae, A. braselienses, and C. albicans, respectively, in comparison to ciprofloxacin antibiotic (23, 0, 26, 26, 25, 0, 0, 0) for the same tested species, respectively; higher cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells (IC50 22.1 μM) than the reference drug cisplatin (IC50 11.7 μM); and lower cytotoxicity to normal healthy lung cells MRC-5, (IC50 145.5 μM) than cisplatin (IC50 30.2 μM). Hence, this crystal is a candidate for chemotherapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
Control of symmetry breaking of materials provides large opportunities to regulate their properties and functions. Herein, we report breaking the symmetry of layered dipeptide crystals by utilizing CO2 to induce the adjacent monomolecular layers to stack from the opposite to the same direction. The role of CO2 is to cover the interlayer interaction sites and force the dipeptides to adsorb at asymmetric positions. Further, the dipeptide crystals exhibit far superior piezoelectricity after symmetry breaking and the piezoelectric voltage generated from the dipeptide-based generators becomes more than 500 % higher than before. This work reveals a potential route to engineer structures and properties of layered materials and provides a deep insight into the control of non-covalent interactions.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonds are non-covalent interactions and essential for assembling supermolecules into ordered structures in biological systems, endowing crystals with fascinating physical properties, and inspiring the construction of eco-friendly electromechanical devices. However, the interplay between hydrogen bonding and the physical properties is not fully understood at the molecular level. Herein, we demonstrate that the physical property of biological crystals with double-layer structures could be enhanced by rationally controlling hydrogen bonding interactions between amino and carboxyl groups. Different hydrogen bonding interactions result in various thermal, mechanical, electronic, and piezoelectric properties. In particular, the weak interaction between O and H atoms contributes to low mechanical strength that permits important ion displacement under stress, giving rise to a strong piezoelectric response. This study not only reveals the correlation between the hydrogen bonding and physical properties in double-layer structures of biological crystals but also demonstrates the potential of these crystals as functional biomaterials for high-performance energy-harvesting devices. Theoretical calculations and experimental verifications in this work provide new insights into the rational design of biomaterials with desirable physical properties for bioelectrical devices by modulating intermolecular interactions.

Acta Biomater 2022; 154:135-144. [PMID: 36216126 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Bio-endogenous peptide molecules are ideal components for fabrication of biocompatible and environmentally friendly semiconductors materials. However, to date, their applications have been limited due to the difficulty in obtaining stable, high-performance devices. Herein, simple amino acid derivatives fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-leucine (Fmoc-L) and fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-tryptophan (Fmoc-W) are utilized to form long-range ordered supramolecular nanostructures by tight aromatic stacking and extensive hydrogen bonding with mechanical, electrical and optical properties. For the first time, without addition of any photosensitizers, pure Fmoc-L microbelts and Fmoc-W microwires exhibit Young's modulus up to 28.79 and 26.96 GPa, and unprecedently high values of photocurrent responses up to 2.2 and 2.3 μA/cm2, respectively. Meanwhile, Fmoc-W microwires with stable blue fluorescent emission under continuous excitation are successfully used as LED phosphors. Mechanism analysis shows that these two amino acids derivatives firstly formed dimers to reduce the bandgap, then further assemble into bioinspired semiconductor materials using the dimers as the building blocks. In this process, aromatic residues of amino acids are more conducive to the formation of semiconducting characteristics than fluorenyl groups. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Long-range ordered amino acid derivative assemblies with mechanical, electrical and optical properties were fabricated by a green and facile biomimetic strategy. These amino acid assemblies have Young's modulus comparable to that of concrete and exhibit typical semiconducting characteristics. Even without the addition of any photosensitizer, pure amino acid assemblies can still produce a strong photocurrent response and an unusually stable photoluminescence. The results suggest that amino acid structures with hydrophilic C-terminal and aromatic residues are more conducive to the formation of semiconducting characteristics. This work unlocks the potential for amino acid molecules to self-assemble into high-performance bioinspired semiconductors, providing a reference for customized development of biocompatible and environmentally friendly semiconductor materials through rational molecular design.

Abstract
AbstractIntrafibrillar mineralization plays a critical role in attaining desired mechanical properties of bone. It is well known that amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) infiltrates into the collagen through the gap regions, but its underlying driving force is not understood. Based on the authors’ previous observations that a collagen fibril has higher piezoelectricity at gap regions, it was hypothesized that the piezoelectric heterogeneity of collagen helps ACP infiltration through the gap. To further examine this hypothesis, the collagen piezoelectricity of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), known as brittle bone disease, is characterized by employing Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM). The OI collagen reveals similar piezoelectricity between gap and overlap regions, implying that losing piezoelectric heterogeneity in OI collagen results in abnormal intrafibrillar mineralization and, accordingly, losing the benefit of mechanical heterogeneity from the fibrillar level. This finding suggests a perspective to explain the ACP infiltration, highlighting the physiological role of collagen piezoelectricity in intrafibrillar mineralization.

Abstract
The potential of ultra-short peptides to self-assemble into well-ordered functional nanostructures makes them promising minimal components for mimicking the basic ingredient of nature and diverse biomaterials. However, selection and modular design of perfect de novo sequences are extremely tricky due to their vast possible combinatorial space. Moreover, a single amino acid substitution can drastically alter the supramolecular packing structure of short peptide assemblies. Here, we report the design of rigid hybrid hydrogels produced by sequence engineering of a new series of ultra-short collagen-mimicking tripeptides. Connecting glycine with different combinations of proline and its post-translational product 4-hydroxyproline, the single triplet motif, displays the natural collagen-helix-like structure. Improved mechanical rigidity is obtained via co-assembly with the non-collagenous hydrogelator, fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) diphenylalanine. Characterizations of the supramolecular interactions that promote the self-supporting and self-healing properties of the co-assemblies are performed by physicochemical experiments and atomistic models. Our results clearly demonstrate the significance of sequence engineering to design functional peptide motifs with desired physicochemical and electromechanical properties and reveal co-assembly as a promising strategy for the utilization of small, readily accessible biomimetic building blocks to generate hybrid biomolecular assemblies with structural heterogeneity and functionality of natural materials.

Abstract
Biomolecule-based piezoelectric nanostructures emerged as a new class of energy-converse materials, and designing tailored piezoelectric amino acid arrays is essential to achieve efficient electrical-mechanical coupling and fulfill their application potential. However, the controlled growth of amino acid nanostructures is still challenging due to the limited understanding of their growth mechanism. Herein, we base on the Stranski-Krastanov (S-K) growth mode and propose a mechanism for the growth of ordered amino acid array structures via physical vapor deposition. The growth of vertical valine sheet arrays is examined by changing the substrate temperature, chamber pressure, and source-substrate distance, and a "layer-plus-sheet" growth process is revealed. The modified S-K growth mode is applied to fabricate other amino acid nanostructures like leucine and isoleucine. The growth mode not only explains the formation of uniform and controllable morphology of amino acid structures but also leads to the significant enhancement of their piezoelectric properties. The maximal effective piezoelectric constant of valine sheets is 11.4 pm V-1, which approaches its highest predicted value. The output voltage of the valine array-based nanogenerator is ∼4.6 times the output voltage of the valine powder-based nanogenerator. This work provides new insights into the growth mechanism of ordered piezoelectric amino acid arrays, making them promising candidates for applications in wearable or implantable electronic devices.

Abstract
Due to the high moisture-associated typical rheology and the changeable and harsh processing conditions in the production process, packaging materials for meat products have higher requirements including a sufficient mechanical strength and proper ductility. Collagen, a highly conserved structural protein consisting of a triple helix of Gly-X-Y repeats, has been proved to be suitable packaging material for meat products. The treated animal digestive tract (i.e. the casing) is the perfect natural packaging material for wrapping meat into sausage. Its thin walls, strong toughness and impact resistance make it the oldest and best edible meat packaging. Collagen casing is another wisdom of meat packaging, which is made by collagen fibers from hide skin, presenting a rapid growth in casing market. To strengthen mechanical strength and barrier behaviors of collagen-based packaging materials, different physical, chemical, and biological cross-linking methods are springing up exuberantly, as well as a variety of reinforcement approaches including nanotechnology. In addition, the rapid development of biomimetic technology also provides a good research idea and means for the promotion of collagen's assembly and relevant mechanical properties. This review can offer some reference on fundamental theory and practical application of collagenous materials in meat products.

Abstract
Piezoelectric biomaterials have attracted significant attention due to the potential effect of piezoelectricity on biological tissues and their versatile applications. However, the high cost and complexity of assembling and domain aligning biomolecules at a large scale, and the disordered arrangement of piezoelectric domains as well as the lack of ferroelectricity in natural biological tissues remain a roadblock toward practical applications. Here, utilizing the weak van der Waals interaction in the layered structure of small intestinal submucosa (SIS), a van der Waals exfoliation (vdWE) process is reported to fabricate ultrathin films down to the thickness of the effective piezoelectric domain. Based on that, the piezoelectric property is revealed of SIS stemming from the collagen fibril, with piezoelectric coefficients up to 4.1 pm V-1 and in-plane polarization orientation parallel to the fibril axis. Furthermore, a biosensor based on the vdWE-processed SIS film with an in-plane electrode is demonstrated that produces open-circuit voltages of ≈250 mV under the cantilever vibration condition. The vdWE method shows great potential in facilely fabricating ultrathin films of soft tissues and biosensors.

Abstract
Piezoelectric materials that generate electricity when deforming are ideal for many implantable medical sensing devices. In modern piezoelectric materials, inorganic ceramics and polymers are two important branches, represented by lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF). However, PVDF is a nondegradable plastic with poor crystallinity and a large coercive field, and PZT suffers from high sintering temperature and toxic heavy element. Here, we successfully design a metal-free small-molecule ferroelectric, 3,3-difluorocyclobutanammonium hydrochloride ((3,3-DFCBA)Cl), which has high piezoelectric voltage coefficients g33 (437.2 × 10−3 V m N−1) and g31 (586.2 × 10−3 V m N−1), a large electrostriction coefficient Q33 (about 4.29 m4 C−2) and low acoustic impedance z0 (2.25 × 106 kg s−1 m−2), significantly outperforming PZT (g33 = 34 × 10−3 V m N−1 and z0 = 2.54 × 107 kg s−1 m−2) and PVDF (g33 = 286.7 × 10−3 V m N−1, g31 = 185.9 × 10−3 V m N−1, Q33 = 1.3 m4 C−2, and z0 = 3.69 × 106 kg s−1 m−2). Such a low acoustic impedance matches that of the body (1.38–1.99 × 106 kg s−1 m−2) reasonably well, making it attractive as next-generation biocompatible piezoelectric devices for health monitoring and “disposable” invasive medical ultrasound imaging. A small-molecule organic ferroelectric (3,3-DFCBA)Cl has high piezoelectric voltage coefficients g33 (437.2 × 10−3 V m N−1), a large electrostriction coefficient Q33, and low acoustic impedance z0, far beyond that of PZT and PVDF.![]()

Abstract
The discovery of piezoelectricity in self-assembled peptide nanostructures opens an avenue to a new regime of piezoelectric materials and enables the fundamental investigation of electromechanical coupling in biomaterials. However, strategies for fabricating peptides with desired properties are still lacking. We find that a peptide-based coassembly process effectively controls the properties of peptide nanomaterials and demonstrates their application potential in nanogenerators. The composing peptides and their concentration influence the morphology, molecular property, and physical property of coassembled crystals. Compared with self-assembled diphenylalanine peptides, the coassembled peptides of diphenylalanine and phenylalanine-tryptophan show a 38% increase in piezoelectric coefficient, and the resulting harvesting device shows nearly a 3-fold increase in open-circuit voltage outputs.
