Key Points

The aim is to quantify the chiral handedness of core-shell inorganic nanotubes for potential applications in photocatalysis.
Utilized electron microscopy to visualize the structure of nanotubes
Applied diffraction techniques to assess chiral characteristics
Focused on WS2 and MoS2 nanotubes for analysis
Successfully quantified the chiral handedness of the nanotubes
Demonstrated that these nanotubes can absorb visible light effectively
Highlighted potential applications in enantioselective photocatalysis

Implication

Quantitative analysis reveals chiral properties of inorganic nanotubes, suggesting potential for photocatalysis.

Abstract

Intrinsically chiral inorganic nanotubes (NTs) based on WS2 and MoS2 are promising visible-light-absorbing materials for heterogeneous enantioselective photocatalysis and, potentially, for fundamental studies of the chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS)...
