a, b Schematic diagrams illustrating the high and low energy adsorption configuration (μ4 and μ3’) for L- and D-serine. The subscript denotes the number of bonds between enantiomers and MECs. c, d Adsorption energy distribution of different arrangements of surface atoms. The inset in (d) illustrates the defined arrangement of surface atoms, where the red and blue triangles indicate the location of adsorbed molecules for L- and D-serine, respectively. e, f Total adsorption energy distribution function X and the corresponding adsorption uptake θt as a function of adsorption energy. Two distinct peaks are observed, corresponding to the μ4 and μ3’ adsorption configurations. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
