The silk fibroin matrix obtained from silkworm cocoons was used to fabricate silk fibroin–silver compound nanowire composite scaffolds with a bioinspired unidirectional structure. As S.‐H. Yu, C. He, Y. Lu, et al. report in their Communication on page 14152, both the silk fibroin matrix and the interface of ordered channels play important roles in the nucleation and growth of Ag 3 PO 4 nanowires. An analogue containing Ag 2 S nanowires displays an efficient solar water evaporation effect and antibacterial activity.
