However, the material requirements for spiral formation have remained unclear, limiting the rational design of such structures. Here, we systematically investigate polarization-directed photoelectrochemical deposition of different metal sulfides across multiple substrates with different laser wavelengths. We discover two sequential requirements: efficient photoelectrochemical electron transfer from the substrate (via hot electrons or photoelectrons) enables initial nucleation, while intrinsic crystal anisotropy with polarization-aligned transition dipoles drives spiral growth. Using this framework, we achieved size-tunable fabrication of spiral Cu2\u2013xS metastructures, which exhibit wide-range tailorability in circular differential scattering and vortical dichroism scattering. This work provides a predictive framework for designing chiral semiconductor metastructures with tailorable chiroptical response, applicable to a broad range of anisotropic materials beyond copper sulfide.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsami.6c12038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]],"date-time":"2026-10-15T23:01:23Z","timestamp":1792105283000},"page":"57812-57819","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Polarization-Guided Spiral Growth of Chiral Copper Sulfide: From Design Rules to Tunable Chiroptics"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Zhiyuan","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan University , , ,","place":["Wuhan, China, 430072"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6858-7587","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiaolin","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan University , , ,","place":["Wuhan, China, 430072"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhijie","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Science and Technology of China , , ,","place":["Hefei, China, 230027"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiyu","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan University , , ,","place":["Wuhan, China, 430072"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0086-4497","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yong","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan University , , ,","place":["Wuhan, China, 430072"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0623-1515","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Science and Technology of China , , ,","place":["Hefei, China, 230027"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jincheng","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Science and Technology of China , , ,","place":["Hefei, China, 230027"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1817-3327","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tao","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan University , , ,","place":["Wuhan, China, 430072"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2026102802063419600_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3290","DOI":"10.1021\/acssensors.4c00644","article-title":"Trace-Amount Detection of Chiral Molecules Based on Plasmonic Racemic Arrays Fabricated via Direct Laser Writing","volume":"9","author":"Tan","year":"2024","journal-title":"ACS Sens."},{"issue":"6460","key":"2026102802063419600_cit2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1475","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aax5415","article-title":"Unraveling the origin of chirality from plasmonic nanoparticle-protein complexes","volume":"365","author":"Zhang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Science"},{"issue":"1","key":"2026102802063419600_cit3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-023-42719-z","article-title":"Quantum plasmonics pushes chiral sensing limit to single molecules: a paradigm for chiral biodetections","volume":"15","author":"Zhang","year":"2024","journal-title":"Nat.
