Special Issues

Special Issue on Energy Applications of Chiral Nanomaterials Submission Date: 2026-09-30 This special issue presents the latest advances in chiral nanostructures, bridging fundamental optical, electrical, and structural phenomena toward next-generation energy material applications. Guest editors: Md Azimul Haque, National Laboratory of the Rockies, Golden, CO, United States; University of Colorado-Boulder, Boulder, CO, United States Hiroshi Yamamoto, Institute for Molecular Science, Okazaki, Japan Adriana Pietropaolo, University ‘Magna Græcia’ of Catanzaro, Catanzaro, Italy Special issue information: Chiral nanostructures are materials characterized by broken mirror symmetry at the nanoscale, giving rise to two non-superimposable enantiomeric forms that interact distinctly with light, charge, and spin depending on their handedness. This structural asymmetry is ubiquitous across organic, inorganic, and hybrid material systems, enabling unique control over charge, spin, and light interactions that conventional achiral materials cannot offer. Notably, chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) has emerged as a particularly powerful phenomenon, enabling spin-polarized transport, chiral exciton formation, and phonon-spin interactions that are redefining our understanding of how chirality manifests across molecular and material length scales. Since its growing recognition, research on chiral nanostructures has expanded rapidly spanning light-matter interactions, chirality transfer mechanisms, and applications in photonic devices, enantioselective sensing, solar energy conversion, spintronics, and radiation detection. However, key challenges remain, including elucidating the fundamental mechanisms linking molecular chirality to macroscopic spin and optical responses, enhancing emission efficiency and polarization control, and identifying the most impactful application for chiral materials. Thus, the aim of this special issue is to provide a dedicated platform for high-quality research and innovative ideas encompassing mechanistic studies, material design, and application exploration in the rapidly growing field of chiral nanostructures.
