A bio-inspired approach for the synthesis of flower-like copper phosphate crystals was proposed in this study. Herein, polydopamine (PDA) was applied to result in the self-assembly of crystals. The flower-like copper phosphate, composed of individual copper phosphate crystals possess self-assembled flowerlike architectures. The flower-like copper phosphate had a specific surface area of 1646.4 m(2)/g, much higher than irregular copper phosphate crystals of 245.3 m(2)/g. This method is expected to have many potential applications including catalysis science, antibacterial materials, and biological research.
