Chiral electrocatalysis

Chiral electrocatalysis can be achieved via formation of chiral surfaces (Attard, 2001 Pleus and Schulte, 2001 Hazzazi et al., 2004) but also by inserting chiral centers into the inorganic matrix. This should apply to the case of monoclinic and cerium- and vanadium-doped zirconias (Domenech and Alarcon, 2007), which will be presented in Chapter 9. 

Thin metal films have been used as model catalysts not only in electrocatalysis (27-34) but also to study enantioselective hydrogenation catalyzed by supported platinum and palladium catalysts modified by adsorbed chiral compounds (39-44).
