Abstract
The poster will focus on the design and deployment of two-dimensional chiral surfaces, which can be tuned to perform essential chemical reactions with very high enantiospecificity. We will demonstrate the fundamental aspects through which chirality is introduced to metal oxide surfaces via the adsorption of chiral molecules. With a particular emphasis, this poster will cover both background literature and our proposed study to synthesize amino acid-modified copper oxide surfaces with atomic-scale precision. Chirality is ubiquitous in nature, and understanding surface chirality will provide fundamental insights into various industrial processes, especially those related to chiral pharmaceuticals.
