Abstract: A three-dimensional molecularly imprinted overoxidized polypyrrole/MnO2/carbon felt (MIOPPy/MnO2/CF) composites were fabricated, which results in increased active area of the surface of the molecularly imprinted polymers film and greatly improved electrochemical chiral recognition effect for tryptophan isomers. The composites were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, UV-visible spectra, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and electrochemical methods. The manuscript provides a proof of concept and shows promising potential of the prepared composites for chiral recognition
