Abstract Bioinspired silicification, which adopts the mechanism found in diatom and glass sponges, has attracted considerable attention so far because of its mild conditions for the synthesis of silica nanomaterials. Although various nanostructures were formed by bioinspired silicification, the degree of complexity has not been comparable to nature's one. To achieve the tailored synthesis of silica nanomaterials, it is needed to provide the rationally designed template, which self-assembles to form desired nanostructures, maintaining catalytic activity for bioinspired silicification. Herein, I present the rationally designed peptide amphiphiles which form silica nano-helices via bioinspired silicification. The results will provide a chemical strategy to generate complex silica nanostructures, which could be utilized to expand the chemical scope of their applications.
