Self-directing chiral information in solid-solid transformation: unusual chiral-transfer without racemization from amorphous silica to crystalline silicon
{{output}}
Constructing novel chiral inorganic nanomaterials is an emerging branch in chirality research. In this work, by employing a solid magnesiothermic reaction at 500-600 °C, we reduced chiral SiO2 nanofibers with average diameter ∼10 nm into chiral Si nanoplates... ...
