Atomically precise metal nanoclusters are novel materials that have the potential to address everyday needs from energy to health. Luminescent metal clusters can be used for effective and efficient energy harvesting and conversion technologies, while water-soluble luminescent metal clusters offer more efficient and personalized biomedical approaches. Furthermore, nanoclusters can be used as building units to form higher-dimensional cluster-assembled materials and can modulate the optoelectronic properties of desired device materials. To create a hierarchy of structures and applications, a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship at the atomic level is vital.

Chiral Nanomaterials have gone from being largely anecdotal curiosities to sophisticated materials with distinctively strong polarization rotation that had become an enabler for the areas, such as biosensing, catalysis and displays. Chiral nanostructures also have enormous potential in emerging technologies related to biomedicine, optoelectronics, spintronics, and information technologies. The great progress in the last two decades on the synthesis of chiral nanocolloids, their assemblies, chiral porous materials, chiral clusters, chiral soft nanostructured materials, chiral composites, to name a few, have made possible the discovery of new physical phenomena such as those related to the enhanced light-matter interactions and tunable Cosserat-Cauchy mechanics. This special themed collection in Nanoscale aims to provide a platform to showcase the latest progress and challenges in chiral nanomaterials.
Nanomaterials for a sustainable future: From materials to devices and systems

As modern society’s demand for energy continues to grow, the development of nanomaterials for reducing energy consumption and generating and storing energy is becoming increasingly important. With advances in synthesis methods and theoretical simulations of nanomaterials, attention has turned to how nanomaterials can be rationally designed and synthesized, transformed into energy devices, and ultimately, how devices (such as solar cells, batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors etc.) can be integrated into systems to tackle real global challenges. This Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Journal of Materials Chemistry C and Nanoscale cross-journal collection will capture the cutting-edge innovations in nanomaterials synthesis, simulation, device fabrication, and system integration that are driving this field forward.
Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to:
- Multifunctional materials (electrical, magnetic, electrochemical, optical, and mechanical materials, etc.)
- Quantum materials (quantum dots, 2D materials, photonics materials, etc.)
- Energy materials (materials for catalysis, CO2 reduction, batteries, hydrogen and solar energy conversion, etc.)
- Materials chemistry calculations (DFT and molecular dynamic simulation and modelling, machine learning assisted design and materials screening, etc.)
- Materials for environment (materials for environment protection, pollutants and toxic products, treatment, environmental remediation, etc.)
- Advanced characterization methods for materials (in-situ Raman, NMR, XRD; synchrotron radiation, neutron diffraction, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, etc.)
