Abstract
The implementation of plasmonic materials in heterogeneous catalysis was limited due to the lack of experimental access in managing the plasmonic hot carriers. Herein, we propose a liquid-state surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique to manipulate and visualize heterogeneous photocatalysis with transparent plasmonic chips. The liquid-state measurement conquers the difficulties that arise from the plasmon-induced thermal effects, and thus the plasmon based strategies can be extended to investigate a wider range of catalytic reactions. We demonstrated the selection of reaction products by modulating the plasmonic hot carriers and explored the mechanisms in several typical C-C coupling reactions with 4-bromothiophenol (4-BTP) as reactants. The real-time experimental results suggest brand new mechanisms of the formation of C-C bonds on plasmonic metal nanoparticles (NPs): the residue of 4-BTP, but not thiophenol (TP), is responsible for the C-C coupling. Furthermore, this technique was extended to study the evolution of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction on nonplasmonic palladium metals by establishing the charge transfer channels between palladium and Au NPs. The cleavage and formation of chemical bonds in each individual reaction step were discerned, and the corresponding working mechanisms were clarified.

Abstract
The tailoring of intrinsic electronic structures and extrinsic hierarchical morphologies is widely recognized as a promising strategy to enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of electrocatalysts. It is generally accepted that the surface of the transition metal-based electrocatalyst exposed to the alkaline electrolyte is highly oxidized and reconstructed, forming an amorphous layer during the electrochemical process. This amorphous active phase is favorable for OER due to its abundant dangling bonds, vacancies and defects, which is tricky to be rationally prepared by conventional methods. Herein, a facile access to crystalline / amorphous NiOx microbelt superstructure of core-shell nanoparticles is presented, which is assembled of crystalline NiO nanoparticles coated with amorphous Ni3+/Ni2+ oxide layer. Electrochemical activation induces the in-situ surface reconstruction of the NiOx microbelt superstructure, resulting in a thicker outer amorphous Ni3+/Ni2+ layer further facilitating OER. Owing to the optimization of the in-situ surface reconstruction, the NiOx microbelt superstructure with crystalline / amorphous dual phases exhibited both high electrocatalytic activity and superior durability for OER, with the original microbelt superstructure retained after 50000 s I-t test.

Abstract
In-depth insights into the structure-activity relationships and complex reaction mechanisms of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts are indispensable to efficiently generate clean hydrogen through water electrolysis. We introduce a convenient and effective sulfur heteroatom tuning strategy to optimize the performance of active Ni and Fe centers embedded into coordination polymer (CP) catalysts. Operando monitoring then provided the mechanistic understanding as to how exactly our facile sulfur engineering of Ni/Fe-CPs optimizes the local electronic structure of their active centers to facilitate dioxygen formation. The high OER activity of our optimized S-R-NiFe-CPs outperforms the most recent NiFe-based OER electrocatalysts. Specifically, we start from oxygen-deprived Od-R-NiFe-CPs and transform them into highly active Ni/Fe-CPs with tailored sulfur coordination environments and anionic deficiencies. Our operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy analyses reveal that sulfur introduction into our designed S-R-NiFe-CPs facilitates the formation of crucial highly oxidized Ni4+ and Fe4+ species, which generate oxygen-bridged NiIV-O-FeIV moieties that act as the true OER active intermediates. The advantage of our sulfur-doping strategy for enhanced OER is evident from comparison with sulfur-free Od-R-NiFe-CPs, where the formation of essential high-valent OER intermediates is hindered. Moreover, we propose a dual-site mechanism pathway, which is backed up with a combination of pH-dependent performance data and DFT calculations. Computational results support the benefits of sulfur modulation, where a lower energy barrier enables O-O bond formation atop the S-NiIV-O-FeIV-O moieties. Our convenient anionic tuning strategy facilitates the formation of active oxygen-bridged metal motifs and can thus promote the design of flexible and low-cost OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecules play important roles in many green chemical reactions. However, the high activation energy limits their application efficiency, and there is still huge controversy about the activation path of H2O2 molecules over the presence of *OOH intermediates. Here, we confirmed the formation of the key species *OOH in the heterogeneous system, via in situ shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), isotope labeling, and theoretical calculation. In addition, we found that compared with *H2O2, *OOH was more conducive to the charge transfer behavior with the catalyst and the activation of an O-O bond. Furthermore, we proposed to improve the local coordination structure and electronic density of the YFeO3 catalyst by regulating the surface relaxation with Ti modification so as to reduce the activation barrier of H2O2 and to improve the production efficiency of •OH. As a result, the kinetics rates of the Fenton-like (photo-Fenton) reaction had been significantly increased several times. The •OH free radical activity mechanism and molecular transformation pathways of 4-chloro phenol (4-CP) were also revealed. This may provide a clearer vision for the further study of H2O2 activation and suggest a means of designing catalysts for efficient H2O2 activation.

Abstract
Developing FeOOH as a robust electrocatalyst for high output oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains challenging due to its low conductivity and dissolvability in alkaline conditions. Herein, it is demonstrated that the robust and high output Zn doped NiOOH-FeOOH (Zn-Fex Ni(1-x) )OOH catalyst can be derived by electro-oxidation-induced reconstruction from the pre-electrocatalyst of Zn modified Ni metal/FeOOH film supported by nickel foam (NF). In situ Raman and ex situ characterizations elucidate that the pre-electrocatalyst undergoes dynamic reconstruction occurring on both the catalyst surface and underneath metal support during the OER process. That involves the Fe dissolution-redeposition and the merge of Zn doped FeOOH with in situ generated NiOOH from NF support and NiZn alloy nanoparticles. Benefiting from the Zn doping and the covalence interaction of FeOOH-NiOOH, the reconstructed electrode shows superior corrosion resistance, and enhanced catalytic activity as well as bonding force at the catalyst-support interface. Together with the feature of superaerophobic surface, the reconstructed electrode only requires an overpotential of 330 mV at a high-current-density of 1000 mA cm-2 and maintains 97% of its initial activity after 1000 h. This work provides an in-depth understanding of electrocatalyst reconstruction during the OER process, which facilitates the design of high-performance OER catalysts.

Abstract
Transition metal-based electrocatalysts will undergo surface reconstruction to form active oxyhydroxide-based hybrids, which are regarded as the "true-catalysts" for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Much effort has been devoted to understanding the surface reconstruction, but little on identifying the origin of the enhanced performance derived from the substrate effect. Herein, we report the electrochemical synthesis of amorphous CoOOH layers on the surface of various cobalt sulfides (CoSα ), and identify that the reduced intermolecular energy gap (Δinter ) between the valence band maximum (VBM) of CoOOH and the conduction band minimum (CBM) of CoSα can accelerate the formation of OER-active high-valent Co4+ species. The combination of electrochemical and in situ spectroscopic approaches, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), operando electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Raman, reveals that Co species in the CoOOH/Co9 S8 are more readily oxidized to CoO2 /Co9 S8 than in CoOOH and other CoOOH/CoSα . This work provides a new design principle for transition metal-based OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Due to the challenge in measuring hot electron energy under reaction conditions, very few studies focus on experimental determination of hot carrier energy. Here, we adjust the energy state of free electrons in Au nanoparticles to quantify the hot electron energy in plasmonic photocatalysis. Reactant molecules with different reduction potentials such as 4-nitrothiophenol (4-NTP), 4-iodothiophenol (4-ITP), etc. are chosen as molecular probes to investigate the reducing ability of hot electrons. By comparing the voltage required to achieve the same conversion of photo- and electro-reaction pathways, we calibrate the maximum energy efficiency of hot electrons in 4-NTP reduction to be 0.32 eV, which is much lower than the excitation photon energy of 1.96 eV. Our work provides insight into the energy distribution of hot electrons and will be helpful for rational design of highly efficient plasmon-mediated chemical reactions.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction is central to making chemicals and energy carriers using electrons. Combining the great tunability of enzymatic systems with known oxide-based catalysts can create breakthrough opportunities to achieve both high activity and stability. Here we report a series of metal hydroxide-organic frameworks (MHOFs) synthesized by transforming layered hydroxides into two-dimensional sheets crosslinked using aromatic carboxylate linkers. MHOFs act as a tunable catalytic platform for the oxygen evolution reaction, where the π-π interactions between adjacent stacked linkers dictate stability, while the nature of transition metals in the hydroxides modulates catalytic activity. Substituting Ni-based MHOFs with acidic cations or electron-withdrawing linkers enhances oxygen evolution reaction activity by over three orders of magnitude per metal site, with Fe substitution achieving a mass activity of 80 A [Formula: see text] at 0.3 V overpotential for 20 h. Density functional theory calculations correlate the enhanced oxygen evolution reaction activity with the MHOF-based modulation of Ni redox and the optimized binding of oxygenated intermediates.

Abstract
Synthesizing H2 O2 from water and air via a photocatalytic approach is ideal for efficient production of this chemical at small-scale. However, the poor activity and selectivity of the 2 e- water oxidation reaction (WOR) greatly restricts the efficiency of photocatalytic H2 O2 production. Herein we prepare a bipyridine-based covalent organic framework photocatalyst (denoted as COF-TfpBpy) for H2 O2 production from water and air. The solar-to-chemical conversion (SCC) efficiency at 298 K and 333 K is 0.57 % and 1.08 %, respectively, which are higher than the current reported highest value. The resulting H2 O2 solution is capable of degrading pollutants. A mechanistic study revealed that the excellent photocatalytic activity of COF-TfpBpy is due to the protonation of bipyridine monomer, which promotes the rate-determining reaction (2 e- WOR) and then enhances Yeager-type oxygen adsorption to accelerate 2 e- one-step oxygen reduction. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the COF-catalyzed photosynthesis of H2 O2 from water and air; and paves the way for wastewater treatment using photocatalytic H2 O2 solution.

Abstract
The C-C coupling reactions of aliphatic alcohols to aromatics and larger-mass compounds have large endothermicities and activation energies, calling for catalysts operating at high temperatures. Here, we demonstrate that plasmon-excited nanoparticles catalyze the C-C coupling of aliphatic alcohols at room temperature to produce polyaromatic hydrocarbons and graphene oxide. The conversion is quenched by radical and electron scavengers and by the surface passivation of metals, suggesting that the reaction proceeds through alkoxy, peroxyl, hydroxyalkyl, and alkyl radical intermediates created by the metal to molecule transfer of plasmonic hot carriers. Besides being the first realization of C-C coupling of aliphatic alcohols at room temperature, the result constitutes a rare example of an endothermic plasmon-induced reaction producing new bonds and a new method for photogenerating graphene derivatives. More importantly, the result demonstrates the facile generation of organic radicals directly from alcohols, which may be used as precursors for radical-based organic reactions.

Abstract
Carbon-Encapsulated NiFe Nanofiber NixFey@C-CNFs have been demonstrated to be promising candidates to replace conventional nobel metals-based catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction. Here, we developed a facile method of electrospinning and high temperature carbonization to synthesize NixFey@C-CNFs catalysts. It is proved that Ni3Fe7@C-CNFs exhibited low overpotential (245 mV) and excellent stability in alkaline electrolyte for OER. This work provides a good platform for the synthesis and design of graphene-encapsulated alloy catalysts.
