On page 5816, Hua Kuang and co‐workers report the fabrication of gold‐gap‐silver nanostructures (GGS NSs) with distinctive plasmon‐induced chiroptical performance in the visible region. The nanogap size of the GGS NSs can be tailored by altering the amount of chiral cysteine. The chiral GGS NSs show unusual circularly polarized photocatalytic activity when irradiated with circularly polarized light.
