Abstract
Chiral nanomaterials with unique chiral configurations and biocompatible ligands have been booming over the past decade for their interesting chiroptical effect, unique catalytical activity, and related bioapplications. The catalytic activity and selectivity of chiral nanomaterials have emerged as important topics, that can be potentially controlled and optimized by the rational biochemical design of nanomaterials. In this review, chiral nanomaterials synthesis, composition, and catalytic performances of different biohybrid chiral nanomaterials are discussed. The construction of chiral nanomaterials with multiscale chiral geometries along with the underlying principles for enhancing chiroptical responses are highlighted. Various biochemical approaches to regulate the selectivity and catalytic activity of chiral nanomaterials for biocatalysis are also summarized. Furthermore, attention is paid to specific chiral ligands, materials compositions, structure characteristics, and so on for introducing selective catalytic activities of representative chiral nanomaterials, with emphasis on substrates including small molecules, biological macromolecule, and in-site catalysis in living systems. Promising progress has also been emphasized in chiral nanomaterials featuring structural versatility and improved chiral responses that gave rise to unprecedented chances to utilize light for biocatalytic applications. In summary, the challenges, future trends, and prospects associated with chiral nanomaterials for catalysis are comprehensively proposed.

Abstract
Chirality is a universal phenomenon in molecular and biological systems, denoting an asymmetric configurational property where an object cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image by any kind of translation or rotation, which is ubiquitous on the scale from neutrinos to spiral galaxies. Chirality plays a very important role in the life system. Many biological molecules in the life body show chirality, such as the "codebook" of the earth's biological diversity-DNA, nucleic acid, etc. Intriguingly, living organisms hierarchically consist of homochiral building blocks, for example, l-amino acids and d-sugars with unknown reason. When molecules with chirality interact with these chiral factors, only one conformation favors the positive development of life, that is, the chiral host environment can only selectively interact with chiral molecules of one of the conformations. The differences in chiral interactions are often manifested by chiral recognition, mutual matching, and interactions with chiral molecules, which means that the stereoselectivity of chiral molecules can produce changes in pharmacodynamics and pathology. Here, the latest investigations are summarized including the construction and applications of chiral materials based on natural small molecules as chiral source, natural biomacromolecules as chiral sources, and the material synthesized by design as a chiral source.

Abstract
The introduction of functional groups or oxygen vacancies into Pd-based electrocatalysts is a powerful strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic performances for many electrocatalytic reactions. Herein, an amorphous ceria-modified Pd nanocomposite anchored on D-4-amino-phenylalanine (DAP)-functionalized graphene nanosheets (Pd-CeO2-x/FGS) was prepared by a facile and effective one-pot synthetic strategy and further used as an electrocatalyst for the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) in alkaline electrolytes. The obtained Pd-CeO2-x/FGS exhibits relatively high electrocatalytic activity, fast kinetics and excellent antipoisoning ability as well as robust durability for EOR, outperforming the comparable electrocatalysts as well as commercial Pd/C. The experimental results show that the enhanced EOR properties of Pd-CeO2-x/FGS can be attributed to the DAP-functionalization and CeO2-x-modification. Adequate functional groups (amino and carboxyl groups) and abundant oxygen vacancies were introduced in Pd-CeO2-x/FGS by DAP-functionalization and CeO2-x-modification. The functional groups facilitate the anchoring of small nanoparticles onto the substrate as well as modulate the electron density of Pd. The oxygen vacancies boost the adsorption ability of the reactive oxygen species (OHads) and accelerate the kinetics of the potential-limiting step for EOR. This study proposes a new strategy for the rational design of highly efficient catalysts for the electro-oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Sn-based electrocatalysts have shown great potential in the future industrial application of CO2 electroreduction (CO2 ER) to C1 products due to their non-toxicity and low price. However, it is a great challenge to fabricate a Sn-based electrocatalytic system with high performance and stability. Herein, grafted pyridine was innovatively coupled with SnO2 to construct an organic-inorganic composite (SnO2 /Py-CNTO) for highly efficient CO2 ER. The detailed studies showed that pyridine and protonated pyridine coexist on the surface of SnO2 /Py-CNTO, and both play distinctive roles in promoting the selectivity of CO2 ER. Benefiting from the merits, SnO2 /Py-CNTO delivered an excellent faradaic efficiency (FE) of 96 % for CO2 ER at -1.29 VRHE where the HCOOH production with 85 % FE dominated, and good stability for 32 h electrolysis. The theoretical calculations showed that protonated pyridine not only facilitates the CO2 adsorption and HCOOH desorption, but also significantly reduces the limiting potential for the conversion of CO2 to HCOOH.

Abstract
The self-assembly of macroscopic droplets on interfaces has attracted much attention and shown promising potential in the field of materials as a sensing or delivery system. Herein, we reported a new strategy to construct a d-tartaric acid-functionalized pillar[5]arene (d-TP5) interface for macroscopic differentiation of histidine enantiomers. At the molecular level, it has been proved that d-TP5 has the ability to distinguish between l-Histidine and d-Histidine ( KL/ KD = 4.6). Furthermore, a functional d-TP5 surface was constructed by a click reaction and characterized by contact angle measurements and attenuated total reflection-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. The d-TP5 surface exhibited the selective dynamic adhesion of l-His droplets on the tilted interface. It means that a d-TP5 surface can distinguish histidine enantiomers at a macrolevel. The amount of d/l-His absorbed by a d-TP5 surface and the morphology of His particles formed by removing the solvent have been investigated to prove that the self-assembly of His occurs on the d-TP5 surface. The possible mechanism has been discussed from host-guest interaction and chiral recognition. The proposed chiral material displays rapidly remarkable selectivity and is convenient to be utilized, which should be suitable for comprehending chiral recognition processing and applied to chiral recognition detection of histidine in a living body.
