Abstract

Chirality of nanomaterials is a rapidly evolving field, largely driven by the unique optical, electronic, magnetic or catalytic properties of plasmonic, magnetic and semiconductor nanomaterials among others. Liquid crystals continue to play a major role in developing a better understanding of their inherent chiroptical properties as well as serving as reporters to quantify and visualize nanomaterial chirality. Furthermore, liquid crystal phases are increasingly explored as potentially tuneable templates for the helical assembly of various types of nanomaterials. This review summarizes recent progress in this area by describing representative examples and key strategies pursued to interface nanomaterial and liquid crystal chirality. These studies focus on a range of organic and inorganic nanomaterials varying in size, shape and composition as well as on both thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystal phases. Finally, the two materials concepts merge when liquid crystal molecules self-assemble into distinct filamentous chiral nanoshapes capable of templating other nanomaterials. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

纳米材料手性与液晶界面研究进展

纳米材料的手性是一个快速发展的领域，主要是由等离子体、磁性和半导体等纳米材料独特的光学、电子、磁性或催化性质所驱动的。液晶在发展对其固有手性的更好理解以及作为量化和可视化纳米材料手性的报告中继续发挥着重要作用。此外，液晶相作为各种类型纳米材料螺旋组装的潜在可调模板被越来越多地探索。本文综述了近年来纳米材料与液晶手性界面的研究进展，阐述了纳米材料与液晶手性界面研究的代表性实例和关键策略。这些研究集中在一系列大小、形状和组成不同的有机和无机纳米材料，以及热致和溶致液晶相。最后，当液晶分子自组装成独特的丝状手性纳米形状时，这两个材料概念将融合在一起，这些纳米形状能够模板化其他纳米材料。图形抽象
