Description
Summary:Chiral inorganic nanomaterial-based circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials have shown substantial promise in multiple research areas. However, the luminescence dissymmetry factor (<i>g</i><sub>lum</sub>), a key parameter for CPL, is far from satisfactory, especially for inorganic molecules with high luminescent quantum efficiency and diverse shapes and sizes. Obtaining large <i>g</i><sub>lum</sub> values is an urgent and crucial task in the field of CPL research. Among different approaches, the combination of inorganic nanomaterials and chiral nematic liquid crystals (N*-LCs) offers distinct advantages in achieving high <i>g</i><sub>lum</sub> values due to their distinctive optical characteristics and remarkable versatility. This concise review systematically investigates the recent advancements in CPL-active materials consisting of perovskites and N*-LCs. It elaborates on their preparation techniques, optical characteristics, and potential applications. Additionally, a brief outlook on their future development is offered. It is expected that this combination will assume an increasingly significant role in the CPL research field and attract more researchers to explore this area.
