Water shortages are currently becoming more and more serious due to complicated factors such as the development of the economy, environmental pollution, and climate deterioration. And it is the best solution to the problems faced by people in today's world to investigate the bionic structure of nature and explore effective methods for fog collection. Herein, we've illustrated the bionic structures of the Namib desert beetle, cactus spines, and spider silk, and we imitate and further modify the respective bionic structures, as well as construct multifunctional bionic structures to improve fog collection. In addition, we also expound the fog collection behavior of a large fog collector, and an excellent fog capture effect was achieved through studying the mesh structure, the surface modification of the mesh, and the construction of the fog collector. The advantages and limitations of fog collection by a harp fog collector were also explored. We hope that through this review, relevant researchers can have a deeper understanding of this field and thus promote the development of fog collection. Based on the fog collection principles and theories of the two fog collection behaviors, it focuses on improving the fog collection effect and provides a new perspective for the development of fog collection technology. [Display omitted] • In this review, the fog collection behaviors were summarized. • Optimization of fog collection structure and preparation scheme were introduced. • We introduce the corresponding typical natural organisms and the large fog collector in detail. • We also introduce the basic fog collection theory of the bionic structure and the large fog collector.
