Here we present our recent approaches to use a variety of nanostructured liquid crystal materials forming smectic, columnar, and bicontinuous cubic structures for transport of ion, electron, and water molecules. They are applied to thin-film materials for electrolytes of lithium ion batteries and solar cells, and water treatment membranes.
