[0041] The chiral ligand tartaric acid is a dicarboxylic acid widely distributed in nature, found in plants such as grapes and bananas, as well as in wine. Due to its unique chiral properties and diverse chemical functions, it has broad potential applications in chemistry and materials science. Tartaric acid was first isolated from tartar, a byproduct of winemaking. In 1848, Louis Pasteur observed the crystalline form of tartaric acid salts through a microscope and discovered the phenomenon of molecular chirality, laying the foundation for stereochemistry. Pasteur exploited the difference in optical activity of ammonium tartrate to separate left-tartaric acid (L-(+)-) and right-tartaric acid (D-(-)-), pioneering chiral resolution technology. Tartaric acid has the molecular formula HOOC-CH(OH)-CH(OH)-COOH, containing two carboxyl groups and two hydroxyl groups. These functional groups give tartaric acid its unique chemical properties, and the presence of chiral carbon atoms determines the optical activity of tartaric acid, which influences its chemical reaction behavior.

[0042] Malic acid, with the molecular formula C4H6O5, is an organic acid containing a chiral carbon atom. It has two enantiomers, D-malic acid and L-malic acid. L-malic acid is the most common form found in nature and is found in large quantities in fruits such as apples. Malic acid has two carboxyl groups and one hydroxyl group, making it an important four-carbon chiral organic compound. Due to its natural chirality, coordination ability, and structural diversity, malic acid plays multiple roles in the field of chiral optics, serving as a resolution tool, catalytic ligand, and material building block. Its core role is to achieve efficient enantiomer separation, asymmetric synthesis, and the creation of chiral functional materials through chiral induction, recognition, and transmission, thereby promoting the development of chiral control technologies in pharmaceuticals, materials, and analytical sciences.

[0043] The chemical formula of penicillamine is C5H 11NO2S, a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative, has two chiral enantiomers, L-type and D-type, and its English name is Penicillamine. The asymmetry of carbon atoms in the molecule endows penicillamine with chirality. This chiral complex enables the reactants to follow a specific stereochemical trajectory in asymmetric catalytic reactions, thereby producing chiral products with high optical purity. The thiol group of penicillamine can adsorb on the surface of metal nanoparticles, and its chiral configuration induces the nanoparticles to form a chiral arrangement, generating chiral optical activity. During the self-assembly process, the chiral center of penicillamine can guide the molecules to form a helical structure or a chiral superlattice, endowing the material with unique optical properties.

[0044] The present invention provides a preparation method of chiral MXene with strong universality and simple process. The ligand active groups (-SH, -COOH, -NH2) are directionally bonded to MXene, and it is suitable for various MXenes such as Ti and V. By precisely controlling the ligand type, reaction conditions and post-treatment process, this method endows MXene with adjustable chiral properties, and significantly improves its stability and functional applicability, and can be widely used in the fields of chiral catalysis, optical sensing, biomedicine and quantum devices. At the same time, the present invention also studies the chirality of the DMF solution, methanol solution or PGMEA solution of MXene modified by chiral ligands (such as L / D-cysteine, L / D-tartaric acid, L / D-malic acid and L / D-penicillamine).

[0046] Preferably, the concentration of the aqueous solution of the chiral ligand in step (B) is 0.001 - 0.002 g / mL, such as 0.001 g / mL, 0.0012 g / mL, 0.0014 g / mL, 0.0015 g / mL, 0.0016 g / mL, 0.0018 g / mL, 0.002 g / mL, etc.

[0047] Preferably, the dosage ratio of the diluted aqueous solution of MXene to the aqueous solution of the chiral ligand in step (C) is 40 - 60 μL:1 - 3 mL. 40 - 60 μL can be, for example, 40 μL, 45 μL, 50 μL, 55 μL, 60 μL, etc., and 1 - 3 mL can be, for example, 1 mL, 1.5 mL, 2 mL, 2.5 mL, 3 mL, etc.

[0048] Preferably, the concentration of the organic solvent solution of MXene in step (a) is 0.5 - 2 mg / mL, such as 0.5 mg / mL, 1 mg / mL, 1.5 mg / mL, 2 mg / mL, etc.

[0049] Preferably, the concentration of the organic solvent solution of the chiral ligand in step (b) is 0.001 - 0.002 g / mL, such as 0.001 g / mL, 0.0012 g / mL, 0.0014 g / mL, 0.0015 g / mL, 0.0016 g / mL, 0.0018 g / mL, 0.002 g / mL, etc.

[0050] Preferably, the dosage ratio of the organic solvent solution of MXene to the organic solvent solution of the chiral ligand in step (c) is 40 - 60 μL:1 - 3 mL. 40 - 60 μL can be, for example, 40 μL, 45 μL, 50 μL, 55 μL, 60 μL, etc., and 1 - 3 mL can be, for example, 1 mL, 1.5 mL, 2 mL, 2.5 mL, 3 mL, etc.

[0051] Preferably, the organic solvents in step (a) and step (b) independently include any one or a combination of at least two of N,N - dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N - dimethylacetamide (DMA), ethanol, acetone, methanol, and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA).

[0052] Preferably, the organic solvents in step (a) and step (b) are the same.

[0053] In the third aspect, the present invention provides an application of the chiral MXene solution as described in the first aspect in chiral catalysis, optical sensing, biomedicine, and quantum devices.

[0054] Natural MXene does not have chiral optical activity. By chemically modifying chiral ligands (such as L / D - cysteine, L / D - tartaric acid, L / D - malic acid, and L / D - penicillamine) onto the surfaces of different types of MXene (Ti3C2, TiVC, VNbC, V2C, and Ti3CN), unique chiral optical properties, selective recognition ability, and interfacial enhancement effects are imparted to the materials.

[0055] In terms of circularly polarized light (CPL) detectors, cutting - edge technologies such as quantum computing have put forward high - sensitivity and high - stability requirements for CPL detection materials. Traditional materials such as organic semiconductor materials have deficiencies in terms of stability and are difficult to meet the actual application requirements. Chiral MXene can be integrated with ITO electrodes as the active layer. The added value of chiral materials is that the device can sense and distinguish the circular polarization of incident light. Chiral MXene materials provide an opportunity for the direct detection of CPL.

[0056] In chiral biosensing, chiral MXene can detect target molecules through changes in CD signals. The chiral interface can enhance molecular - specific recognition, providing the possibility for a new type of biosensing method. <X

[0057] In the field of asymmetric synthesis, the synthesis of chiral drugs highly relies on highly enantioselective catalysts. Traditional homogeneous catalysts have problems such as high cost and difficulty in recycling. Chiral MXene can adjust the microenvironment of active sites by regulating the ratio of ligands.

[0058] In the fields of quantum technology and advanced manufacturing, spin-polarized transport materials possess strong spin-orbit coupling. Traditional metals have high resistivity, while chiral MXene has good conductivity and low resistivity, is compatible with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes, and can be used in magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) storage units.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0060] The present invention provides a preparation method of chiral MXene with strong universality and simple process, realizing the efficient bonding of different types of MXene (such as Ti3C2, TiVC, VNbC, V2C, and Ti3CN) with various chiral ligands (L / D-cysteine, L / D-tartaric acid, L / D-malic acid, and L / D-penicillamine), and enhancing the loading stability of chiral ligands through chemical bonding such as coordination bonds and covalent bonds, thereby enabling precise regulation of the optical activity of the material such as CD signal intensity and enantioselectivity. By precisely controlling the ligand type, reaction conditions, and post-treatment process, this method endows MXene with adjustable chiral properties, significantly improves its stability and functional applicability, and can be widely applied in the fields of chiral catalysis, optical sensing, biomedicine, and quantum devices. At the same time, the present invention also studies the chirality of MXene modified by chiral ligands (such as L / D-cysteine, L / D-tartaric acid, L / D-malic acid, and L / D-penicillamine) in DMF solution, methanol solution, or PGMEA solution.
