The structural characteristics of natural species have been optimized by natural selection for millions of years. They offer specific functions much more effectively than artificial approaches. Morphology genetic materials utilize morphologies gleaned from natural selection into their hierarchical structures. The combination of natural morphologies and manually selected functional materials makes these novel materials suitable for many applications. This review focuses on the strategies by which the structures and functions of natural species can be utilized. Specific functions inherited from both the natural microstructures and coupled functional materials are highlighted with regard to various applications, including photonics, light-harvesting, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and electrodes for supercapacitors and batteries, as well as environmentally friendly materials.
