| Abstract: | Sessile organisms have undergone long‐term evolution to develop the unique ability by positioning themselves on wet solid surface through secreting adhesive proteins. The present study reveals that natural amino acid monomers can also exhibit similar adhesion capacity. This kind of biomimetic adhesives were created by the one‐step aqueous assembly of basic amino acids with assistance of anionic polyoxometalates. The polyoxometalates not only serve as multivalent scaffold to initiate the supramolecular cross‐linking of amino acid molecules, but also function as a redox component, bestowing the wet adhesives with electrochromic features. |
