Abstract
Photoresponsive nanochannel systems whose ionic transportation properties can be controlled by the photoelectric effect, such as for green chlorophyll pigments in plants, are attracting widespread attention. Herein, we prepared photoresponsive heterogeneous nanochannels by decorating self-assembled tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) nanofiber membranes on a membrane of hourglass-shaped alumina (Al2O3) nanochannels using the diffusion-limited patterning (DLP) method. The close arrangement of large-area nanofibers promoted the photoresponse sensitivity of the heterogeneous nanochannels, which showed the highest ionic transportation current. With illumination comparable to sunlight in intensity, the photoresponsive ionic current was approximately 9.7 μA, demonstrating photoswitching, which could be used to regulate the reversible transformation of ionic currents. Meanwhile, the cooperative effect of the TPPS nanofibers assembled at the entrance to the nanochannels and the TPPS molecules inside the nanochannels allowed the heterogeneous nanochannels to exhibit a good rectifying performance.

Abstract
Bioinspired smart asymmetric nanochannel membranes (BSANM) have been explored extensively to achieve the delicate ionic transport functions comparable to those of living organisms. The abiotic system exhibits superior stability and robustness, allowing for promising applications in many fields. In view of the abundance of research concerning BSANM in the past decade, herein, we present a systematic overview of the development of the state-of-the-art BSANM system. The discussion is focused on the construction methodologies based on raw materials with diverse dimensions (i.e. 0D, 1D, 2D, and bulk). A generic strategy for the design and construction of the BSANM system is proposed first and put into context with recent developments from homogeneous to heterogeneous nanochannel membranes. Then, the basic properties of the BSANM are introduced including selectivity, gating, and rectification, which are associated with the particular chemical and physical structures. Moreover, we summarized the practical applications of BSANM in energy conversion, biochemical sensing and other areas. In the end, some personal opinions on the future development of the BSANM are briefly illustrated. This review covers most of the related literature reported since 2010 and is intended to build up a broad and deep knowledge base that can provide a solid information source for the scientific community.

Abstract
Smart bioinspired nanochannels exhibiting ion-transport properties similar to biological ion channels have attracted extensive attention. Like ion channels in nature, smart bioinspired nanochannels can respond to various stimuli, which lays a solid foundation for mass transport and energy conversion. Fundamental research into smart bioinspired nanochannels not only furthers understanding of life processes in living bodies, but also inspires researchers to construct smart nanodevices to meet the increasing demand for the use of renewable resources. Here, a brief summary of recent research progress regarding the design and preparation of smart bioinspired nanochannels is presented. Moreover, representative applications of smart bioinspired nanochannels in energy-conversion systems are also summarized. Finally, an outlook for future challenges in this field is given.

Abstract
A novel and simple design is introduced to construct bichannel nanofluid diodes by combining two poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films with columnar nanochannel arrays varying in size or in surface charge. This type of bichannel device performs obvious ion current rectification, and the pH-dependent tunability and degree of rectification can be improved by histidine modification. The origin of the ion current rectification and its pH-dependent tunability are attributed to the cooperative effect of the two columnar half-channels and the applied bias on the mobile ions. As a result of surface groups on the bichannel being charged with different polarities or degrees at different pH values, the function of the bichannel device can be converted from a nanofluid diode to a normal nanochannel or to a reverse diode.
