An alkaloid@Ag composite was prepared for the first time and used as a cathode for the enantioselective hydrogenation. Excellent yield and a remarkable enantiomeric excess value were obtained under mild conditions. Moreover, alkaloid@Ag after extraction was demonstrated to retain some chirality by linear sweep voltammetry.
