ABSTRACT
Nanomaterials with biomimetic catalytic abilities have attracted significant attention. However, the stereoselectivity of natural enzymes determined by their unique configurations is difficult to imitate. In this work, a kind of chiral CuxCoyS-CuzS nanoflowers (L/D-Pen-NFs) is developed, using porous CuxCoyS nanoparticles (NPs) as stamens, CuzS sheets as petals, and chiral penicillamine as surface stabilizers. Compared to the natural laccase enzyme, L/D-Pen-NFs exhibit significant advantages in catalytic efficiency, stability against harsh environments, recyclability, and convenience in construction. Most importantly, they display high enantioselectivity toward chiral neurotransmitters, which is proved by L- and D-Pen-NFs' different catalytic efficiencies toward chiral enantiomers. L-Pen-NFs are more efficient in catalyzing the oxidation of L-epinephrine and L-dopamine compared with D-Pen-NFs. However, their catalytic efficiency in oxidizing L-norepinephrine and L-DOPA is lower than that of D-Pen-NFs. The reason for the difference in catalytic efficiency is the distinct binding affinities between CuxCoyS-CuzS nano-enantiomers and chiral molecules. This work can spur the development of chiral nanostructures with biomimetic functions.
