Recent progress in fabrication and application of chiral interfaces

Abstract

Chirality, also known as handedness, is one of the most widespread and intriguing properties in nature, touching upon various fields including physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and beyond. Chiral interface is the place where chirality related process occurs. The development of synthetic chiral interface not only deepens the understanding of chiral mechanism, but also provides the basis for the application of chiral phenomenon. In this review, we provide a summary of the various types of chiral interfaces, their construction methods, and the recent process of their application in chiral recognition, chiral separation, and chiral catalysis, as well as a prospect for further direction.
