Natural plants consist of a hierarchical architecture featuring an intricate network of highly interconnected struts and channels that not only ensure extraordinary structural stability, but also allow efficient transport of nutrients and electrolytes throughout the entire plants. Here we show that a hyperaccumulation effect can allow efficient enrichment of selected metal ions (for example, Sn<sup>2+</sup>, Mn<sup>2+</sup>) in the halophytic plants, which can then be converted into three-dimens ...[more]
