Magnetoelectrodeposition (electrodeposition under magnetic fields) has potential to produce chiral structures of electrodeposits of metals and conducting polymers. This phenomenon is call as magnetoelectrochemical chirality. We performed the magnetoelectrodeposition of Ag films and employed them as modified electrodes. Such Ag film electrodes exhibited chiral recognition of the enantiomers of glucose and amino acids (cysteine and histidine) in the voltammograms of their oxidation reactions. Here we report chiral electrode behavior of the Ag and Cu films, depending on the deposition potentials, the magnetic fields and the surface oxidation conditions.
