Abstract
Enantioselective discrimination of chiral molecules is essential in chemistry, biology, and medical science due to the configuration-dependent activities of enantiomers. Therefore, identifying a specific amino acid and distinguishing it from its enantiomer by using nanomaterials with outstanding performance are of great significance. Herein, blue- and green-emitting chiral silicon nanoparticles named bSiNPs and gSiNPs, respectively, with excellent water solubility, salt resistance, pH stability, photobleaching resistance, biocompatibility, and ability to promote soybean germination, were fabricated in a facile one-step method. Especially, chiral gSiNPs presented excellent fluorescence recognition ability for glutamic acid enantiomers within 1 min, and the enantiomeric recognition difference factor was as high as 9.0. The mechanism for enantiomeric fluorescence recognition was systematically explored by combining the fluorescence spectra with density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Presumably, the different Gibbs free energy and hydrogen-bonding interaction of the chiral recognition module with glutamic acid enantiomers mainly contributed to the difference in the fluorescence signals. Most noteworthy was the fact that the chiral gSiNPs can showcase not only the ability to recognize l- and d-glutamic acids in living cells but also the test strips fabricated by soaking gSiNPs can be applied for d-glutamic acid visual detection. As a result, this study provided insights into the design of multifunctional chiral sensing nanoplatforms for enantiomeric detection and other applications.

Abstract
Since chirality is one of the phenomena often occurring in nature, optically active chiral compounds are important for applications in the fields of biology, pharmacology, and medicine. With this in mind, chiral carbon dots (CDs), which are eco-friendly and easy-to-obtain light-emissive nanoparticles, offer great potential for sensing, bioimaging, enantioselective synthesis, and development of emitters of circularly polarized light. Herein, chiral CDs have been produced via two synthetic approaches using a chiral amino acid precursor l/d-cysteine: (i) surface modification treatment of achiral CDs at room temperature and (ii) one-pot carbonization in the presence of chiral precursor. The chiral signal in the absorption spectra of synthesized CDs originates not only from the chiral precursor but from the optical transitions attributed to the core and surface states of CDs. The use of chiral amino acid molecules in the CD synthesis through carbonization results in a substantial (up to 8 times) increase in their emission quantum yield. Moreover, the synthesized CDs show two-photon absorption which is an attractive feature for their potential bioimaging and sensing applications.
