The self-assembly of chiral inorganic hierarchical materials plays a pivotal role in natural systems. With the precise construction of multi-level chiral substances as the core, the efficient fabrication of chiral inorganic hierarchical materials and reveal the relationship between chiral structure and unique functionalities are crucial tasks in physics, chemistry, and biology, and chiral materials are achieved through the application of interdisciplinary approaches cutting-edge technology. Thus, it is extremely important for the mechanisms and laws of chiral generation, transmission, amplification, and regulation are revealed, and the structure-function relationship of chiral hierarchical materials is elucidated. This perspective first reviews and discusses the preparation methods of chiral hierarchical structures, chiral assembly, and chiral assembly films, and the recent developments in the geometric control of chiral inorganic hierarchical material, with special attention paid to the quantitative understanding of the chiroptical structure-property relationship. Based on this, a series of important applications in chiral imaging, chiral encryption, and chiral detection are discussed. It is anticipated that advanced chiral inorganic hierarchical materials will provide superior chiroptical properties for various emerging technological applications.
