Chiral Sites

Caption

Chiral sites (trees)are inserted between two layers of graphite-phase carbon nitride (cloud layers). The 'trees' can catch the left-handed molecules (Six Ears) while allowing the right-handed ones (Monkey King) to be transported away, thus resulting in high separation efficiency.
