Metal Nanocrystals: Chiral Surface and Geometry of Metal Nanocrystals (Adv. Mater. 41/2020)

Crystallographic understanding of surface chirality in metal nanocrystals provides synthetic strategies to achieve 3D chiral geometry. In article number 1905758, Ki Tae Nam and co-workers summarize the fundamentals to define surface chirality and the strategies to control chiral high-Miller-index facets of metal nanocrystals. A guideline to link the surface and geometry and to synthesize chiral metal nanocrystals for optical, biomedical, and catalytic applications is provided.
