This paper presents a short review of current research activities centering on new nanomaterials and nanostructures based on the AVBVICVII compounds, mainly SbSI. It focuses in particular on results of research conducted in the Division of Solid State Physics of the Institute of Physics - Centre for Science and Education at the Silesian University of Technology. Various methods are used to obtain ternary chalcohalide nanomaterials. Many nanocomposites based on these nanomaterials with various matrices are fabricated. They show great application possibilities as various sensors and other devices. SbSI and SbSeI are introduced into carbon nanotubes and SbSI photonic crystals are also formed.
