In this paper

the biomimetic synthesis of silica material was reviewed

the characteristics and simulation methods of template molecules in vitro biomimetic synthesis of SiO

2

materials was summarized. We explained the influence of concentration

type of anions and different types of synthetic template matrix on SiO

2

size and morphology

and put forward the new ideas on biomimetic mineralization of SiO

2

. So

we were inspired to design and synthesize a stable kind of polypeptides with catalytically activity

and using this production as a template to design and synthesize inorganic SiO

2

material with special structure and properties

which could be applied in biological catalysis

drug delivery and other fields.
