Melanin is a widespread multifunctional biological pigment that has emerged as a promising platform for applications in coating, catalysis, energy, drug delivery, and medical therapy. Melanin is also a compelling material for photonic applications because of its favorable material characteristics, including broadband absorption, high refractive index, tunable fluorescence, and UV blocking capabilities. However, there is not yet a critical review focusing on optical functions of melanin. This review summarizes current advances in bioinspired melanin‐based optically active materials, covering melanin's inherent optical properties and functions both in nature and in optics‐related applications. It is envisioned that this work will provide a better understanding of melanin's photonic functions and insights into the future development of melanin‐based or melanin‐inspired optically active materials for wide applications.

生物启发的基于黑色素的旋光材料

黑色素是一种广泛的多功能生物颜料，已成为在涂层，催化，能量，药物输送和医学治疗中应用的有前途的平台。黑色素因其良好的材料特性（包括宽带吸收，高折射率，可调荧光和紫外线阻挡功能）而成为光子应用的引人注目的材料。然而，还没有关于黑色素的光学功能的严格评论。这篇综述总结了生物启发的黑色素光学活性材料的最新进展，涵盖了黑色素固有的光学性质和功能，无论是在自然界还是在与光学相关的应用中。可以预见，这项工作将提供对黑色素的更好理解。
