Herein, a bimetallic metal-phenolic network (MPN) was applied to incorporate different metallic element species into cattle skin and fabricate collagen-fiber-derived complex oxide nanofibers using natural polyphenols (Myrica tannins). Direct thermal transition of these biomass-MPN composites generates hierarchically porous nanofibers possessing micro- and mesoporous architectures along with a well-preserved macroscopic structure. The pore system and complex oxide composition provide excellent photocatalytic performance. This low-cost, simple, and readily scalable MPN-based approach provides a straightforward route to synthesize nanostructured materials directly from biomass, which could play important roles in a wide range of potential applications.en-USbiomassmesoporous materialsmetal-organic frameworksnanofiberstanninsJournal Article2019-07-2410.1002/asia.201800284
