Abstract
Metalloenzymes are remarkable for facilitating challenging redox transformations with high efficiency and selectivity. In the area of alternative energy, scientists aim to capture these properties in bioinspired and engineered biomolecular catalysts for the efficient and fast production of fuels from low-energy feedstocks such as water and carbon dioxide. In this short review, efforts to mimic biological catalysts for proton reduction and carbon dioxide reduction are highlighted. Two important recurring themes are the importance of the microenvironment of the catalyst active site and the key role of proton delivery to the active site in achieving desired reactivity. Perspectives on ongoing and future challenges are also provided.

Abstract
An electrolyte engineering strategy was developed for CO2 reduction into formate with a model molecular catalyst, [Rh(bpy)(Cp*)Cl]Cl, by modifying the solvent (organic or aqueous), the proton source (H2 O or acetic acid), and the electrode/solution interface with imidazolium- and pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquids (ILs). Experimental and theoretical density functional theory investigations suggested that π+ -π interactions between the imidazolium-based IL cation and the reduced bipyridine ligand of the catalyst improved the efficiency of the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) by lowering the overpotential, while granting partial suppression of the hydrogen evolution reaction. This allowed tuning the selectivity towards formate, reaching for this catalyst an unprecedented faradaic efficiency (FEHCOO -) ≥90 % and energy efficiency of 66 % in acetonitrile solution. For the first time, relevant CO2 conversion to formic acid/formate was reached at low overpotential (0.28 V) using a homogeneous catalyst in acidic aqueous solution (pH=3.8). These results open up a new strategy based on electrolyte engineering for enhancing carbon balance in CO2 RR.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective catalysts for CO2 reduction is highly desired but remains a significant challenge. The unsaturated coordination metal center in a catalyst is favorable for the process of catalytic CO2 reduction. In this paper, two asymmetric salen ligands were used to synthesize two coordinatively unsaturated Co-salen complexes. The two Co-salen complexes exhibit an unsaturated coordination pattern and display high activity and CO selectivity for visible-light-driven CO2 reduction in a water-containing system. The photocatalytic performance of 2 is higher than that of 1 because the reduction potential of the catalytic CoII center and the energy barrier of the catalytic transition states of 2 are lower than those of 1, with turnover numbers (TONCO), turnover frequencies (TOF), and CO selectivity values of 8640, 0.24 s-1, and 97% for 2, respectively. The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO for 2 is well supported by control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
A semisynthetic electrocatalyst for carbon dioxide reduction to carbon monoxide in water is reported. Cobalt microperoxidase-11 (CoMP11-Ac) is shown to reduce CO2 to CO with a turnover number of up to 32,000 and a selectivity of up to 88:5 CO:H2. Higher selectivity for CO production is favored by a less cathodic applied potential and use of a higher pK a buffer. A mechanistic hypothesis is presented in which avoiding the formation and protonation of a formal Co(I) species favors CO production. These results demonstrate how tuning reaction conditions impact reactivity toward CO2 reduction for a biocatalyst previously developed for H2 production.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) have long been considered as prime candidates for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, separation, and conversion. Especially their permanent porosity, structural tunability, stability and relatively low cost are key factors in such considerations. Whereas heteratom-rich microporous networks as well as their amine impregnation/functionalization have been actively exploited to boost the CO2 affinity of POPs, recently, the focus has shifted to engineering the pore environment, resulting in a new generation of highly microporous POPs rich in heteroatoms and featuring abundant catalytic sites for the capture and conversion of CO2 into value-added products. In this review, we aim to provide key insights into structure-property relationships governing the separation, capture and conversion of CO2 using POPs and highlight recent advances in the field.

Abstract
Heterogeneous electrochemical CO2 reduction has potential advantages with respect to the homogeneous counterpart due to the easier recovery of products and catalysts, the relatively small amounts of catalyst necessary for efficient electrolysis, the longer lifetime of the catalysts, and the elimination of solubility problems. Unfortunately, several disadvantages are also present, including the difficulty of designing the optimized and best-performing catalysts by the appropriate choice of the ligands as well as a larger heterogeneity in the nature of the catalytic site that introduces differences in the mechanistic pathway and in electrogenerated products. The advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous systems can be preserved by anchoring intact organometallic molecules on the electrode surface with the aim of increasing the dispersion of active components at a molecular level and facilitating the electron transfer to the electrocatalyst. Electrode functionalization can be obtained by non-covalent or covalent interactions and by direct electropolymerization on the electrode surface. A critical overview covering the very recent literature on CO2 electroreduction by intact organometallic complexes attached to the electrode is summarized herein, and particular attention is given to their catalytic performances. We hope this mini review can provide new insights into the development of more efficient CO2 electrocatalysts for real-life applications.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major greenhouse gas and also an abundant and renewable carbon resource. Therefore, its chemical conversion and utilization are of great attraction for sustainable development. Especially, reductive conversion of CO2 with energy input has become a current hotspot due to its ability to access fuels and various important chemicals. Nowadays, the controllable CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid and alcohols using sustainable H2 resources has been regarded as an appealing solution to hydrogen storage and CO2 accumulation. In addition, photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO also provides a potential way to utilize this greenhouse gas efficiently. Besides direct CO2 hydrogenation, CO2 reductive functionalization integrates CO2 reduction with subsequent C-X (X = N, S, C, O) bond formation and indirect transformation strategies, enlarging the diverse products derived from CO2 and promoting CO2 reductive conversion into a new stage. In this Perspective, the progress and challenges of CO2 reductive conversion, including hydrogenation, reductive functionalization, photocatalytic reduction, and photocatalytic reductive functionalization are summarized and discussed along with the key issues and future trends/directions in this field. We hope this Perspective can evoke intense interest and inspire much innovation in the promise of CO2 valorization.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been conducted to investigate the mechanism of cobalt(II) tetraamino phthalocyanine (CoPc-NH2) catalyzed electro-reduction of CO2. Computational results show that the catalytically active species 1 (4[CoII(H4L)]0) is formed by a four-electron-four-proton reduction of the initial catalyst CoPc-NH2. Complex 1 can attack CO2 after a one-electron reduction to give a [CoIII-CO22-]- intermediate, followed by a protonation and a one-electron reduction to give intermediate [CoII-COOH]- (4). Complex 4 is then protonated on its hydroxyl group by a carbonic acid to generate the critical species 6 (CoIII-L•--CO), which can release the carbon monoxide as an intermediate (and also as a product). In parallel, complex 6 can go through a successive four-electron-four-proton reduction to produce the targeted product methanol without forming formaldehyde as an intermediate product. The high-lying π orbital and the low-lying π* orbital of the phthalocyanine endow the redox noninnocent nature of the ligand, which could be a dianion, a radical monoanion, or a radical trianion during the catalysis. The calculated results for the hydrogen evolution reaction indicate a higher energy barrier than the carbon dioxide reduction. This is consistent with the product distribution in the experiments. Additionally, the amino group on the phthalocyanine ligand was found to have a minor effect on the barriers of critical steps, and this accounts for the experimentally observed similar activity for these two catalysts, namely, CoPc-NH2 and CoPc.

Abstract
Formate dehydrogenases (FDH) reversibly catalyze the interconversion of CO2 to formate. They belong to the family of molybdenum and tungsten-dependent oxidoreductases. For several decades, scientists have been synthesizing structural and functional model complexes inspired by these enzymes. These studies not only allow for finding certain efficient catalysts but also in some cases to better understand the functioning of the enzymes. However, FDH models for catalytic CO2 reduction are less studied compared to the oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reaction. Herein, we present recent results of structural and functional models of FDH.

Abstract
A carbazolide-bis(NHC) NiII catalyst (1; NHC, N-heterocyclic carbene) for selective CO2 photoreduction was designed herein by a one-stone-two-birds strategy. The extended π-conjugation and the strong σ/π electron-donation characteristics (two birds) of the carbazolide fragment (one stone) lead to significantly enhanced activity for photoreduction of CO2 to CO. The turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) of 1 were ninefold and eightfold higher than those of the reported pyridinol-bis(NHC) NiII complex at the same catalyst concentration using an identical Ir photosensitizer, respectively, with a selectivity of ∼100%. More importantly, an organic dye was applied to displace the Ir photosensitizer to develop a noble-metal-free photocatalytic system, which maintained excellent performance and obtained an outstanding quantum yield of 11.2%. Detailed investigations combining experimental and computational studies revealed the catalytic mechanism, which highlights the potential of the one-stone-two-birds effect.

Abstract
The construction of hybrid catalysts composed of inorganic semiconductors and molecular catalysts shows great potential for achieving high photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion efficiency. In this study, ZnIn2S4 was first synthesized via a solvothermal route. Gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles were then deposited on ZnIn2S4 via the reduction of noble metal precursor by sulfur vacancy defects. The obtained composite was further combined with tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin iron(III) chloride (FeTCPP) molecular catalyst for efficient photocatalytic CO2 conversion. The roles of different noble metal nanoparticles in charge separation and interfacial electron transfer have been comprehensively studied. The photocatalytic performance and photoelectrochemical characterizations demonstrate that the introduction of Ag or Au nanoparticles is beneficial for charge separation. More importantly, the presence of Ag nanoparticles plays a crucial role in promoting the interfacial charge transfer between ZnIn2S4 and FeTCPP, whereas, Au nanoparticles function as active sites for the water reduction reaction.

Abstract
New rhenium bipyridyl complexes with dipyrromethene-BF2 chromophores (A-ReBDP-CZ, A-ReBDP2 , ReBDP-CZ, and ReBDP2 ) were developed for highly efficient photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction to carbon monoxide (CO). These catalysts consisted of two moderate electron-deficient groups (dipyrromethene-BF2 , BDP) as the visible-light-harvesting antenna as well as both electron donor (N-phenylcarbazole, CZ) and acceptor (BDP) on Re bipyridyl framework. Among ReBDP-CZ and ReBDP2 complexes, the ReBDP2 incorporating two electron-deficient BDP chromophores had a longer-lived photoexcited state (182.4 μs) and a twofold enhanced molar absorption coefficient (ϵ=157000 m-1 cm-1 ) compared with ReBDP-CZ. Thus, ReBDP2 achieved the superior photocatalytic reactivity and stability with a CO turnover number (TONCO ) value as high as 1323 and quantum yield (ΦCO ) up to 55 %, which was the most excellent photocatalysis efficiency among the single-active-site Re catalysts without additional photosensitizer. Furthermore, the acetylene-bridged linker was detrimental to the photoactivity and durability of the catalyst. In brief, two BDP-based Re bipyridyl systems with outstanding catalytic performance and significant visible-light-harvesting capabilities in the solar spectrum offer a promising strategy for solar-to-fuel conversion schemes.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) as photocatalysts enable catalysis of CO2-to-CO conversion in the presence of electron donors. The surface and/or interfacial chemical environment of the QDs is essential for the activity and selectivity of the CO2 photoreduction. Various strategies, including exposing active metal sites or anchoring functional organic ligands, have been applied to tune the QDs' surface chemical environment and thus to improve both activity and selectivity of CO2 photoreduction, which occurs at surface of the QDs. However, the efficient and selective photocatalytic CO2 reduction with QD photocatalysts in water is still a challenging task due to low CO2 solubility and robust competing reaction of proton reduction in water. Different from state-of-the-art QDs' surface manipulation, we proposed to ameliorate the interfacial chemical environment of CdSe QDs via assembling the QDs into functional polymeric micelles in water. Herein, CdSe@PEI-LA assemblies were constructed by loading CdSe QDs into polymeric micelles formed by PEI-LA, a polyethylenimine (PEI)-based functional amphiphilic polymer. Due to self-assembly and high CO2 adsorption capacity of PEI-LA in water, the photocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion efficiency and selectivity of the CdSe@PEI-LA assemblies in water were dramatically improved to 28.0 mmol g-1 and 87.5%, respectively. These two values increased 57 times and 1.5 times, respectively, compared with those of the pristine CdSe QDs. Mechanism studies revealed that CdSe QDs locate in polymeric micelles of high CO2 local concentration and the photoinduced electron transfer from the conduction band of CdSe QDs to Cd-CO2* species is thermodynamically and kinetically improved in the presence of PEI-LA. The CdSe@PEI-LA system represents a successful example of using a functionalized amphiphilic polymer to ameliorate interfacial microenvironments of nanocrystal photocatalysts and realizing efficient and selective CO2 photoreduction in water.

Abstract
A triblock amphiphilic polymer derived from the copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides containing a bipyridine rhenium complex in its backbone is shown to effectively catalyze the visible-light-driven reduction of CO2 to CO. This polymer provides uniformly spherical micelles in aqueous solution, where the metal catalyst is sequestered in the hydrophobic portion of the nanostructured micelle. CO2 to CO reduction occurs in an efficient visible-light-driven process in aqueous media with turnover numbers up to 110 (>99 % selectivity) in the absence of a photosensitizer, which is a 37-fold enhancement over the corresponding molecular rhenium catalyst in organic solvent. Notably, the amphiphilic polycarbonate micelle rhenium catalyst suppresses H2 generation, presumably by preventing deactivation of the active catalytic center by water.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into transportable fuels such as formic acid (HCOOH) under sunlight is an attractive solution to the shortage of energy and carbon resources as well as to the increase in Earth's atmospheric CO2 concentration. The use of abundant elements as the components of a photocatalytic CO2 reduction system is important, and a solid catalyst that is active, recyclable, nontoxic, and inexpensive is strongly demanded. Here, we show that a widespread soil mineral, alpha‐iron(III) oxyhydroxide (α‐FeOOH; goethite), loaded onto an Al2O3 support, functions as a recyclable catalyst for a photocatalytic CO2 reduction system under visible light (λ>400 nm) in the presence of a RuII photosensitizer and an electron donor. This system gave HCOOH as the main product with 80–90 % selectivity and an apparent quantum yield of 4.3 % at 460 nm, as confirmed by isotope tracer experiments with 13CO2. The present work shows that the use of a proper support material is another method of catalyst activation toward the selective reduction of CO2.

Abstract
The solar conversion of CO2 to low carbon fuels has been heralded as a potential solution to combat the rise in greenhouse gas emissions. Here we report the first light-driven activation of [NiFe] CODH II from Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans for the reduction of CO2 to CO. To accomplish this, a hybrid photosystem composed of CODH II and CdSe/CdS dot-in-rod nanocrystals was developed. By incorporating a low-potential redox mediator to assist electron transfer, quantum yields up to 19% and turnover frequencies of 9 s-1 were achieved. These results represent a new standard in efficient CO2 reduction by an enzyme-based photocatalytic systems. Furthermore, successful photoactivation of CODH II allows for future exploration into the enzyme's not fully understood mechanism.

Abstract
We present here a novel strategy based on the covalent grafting of a C-functionalized Ni-cyclam complex onto glassy carbon to achieve heterogeneous electrocatalytic CO2 reduction in neutral water at low overpotential (-500 mV vs. NHE), with moderate turnover number (TON = 454), high selectivity (85% CO produced) and good faradaic efficiency (56% CO). Direct comparison with the N-functionalized Ni-cyclam analogue highlights the benefits of this approach in terms of CO2 electroreduction.

We report herein the preparation and characterization of six readily assembled bis-coordinated homoleptic silver(I) N,N′-bis(arylimino)acenaphthene (BIAN) complexes of general structure [Ag(I)(BIAN)2]BF4 and the influence of the electronic properties of the ligand substitution pattern on their performance in electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R). All the explored catalysts displayed substantial current enhancements in carbon-dioxide-saturated solvents dependent on the ligated BIAN and no significant concurrent H2 evolution when utilizing 2% H2O as a proton source. Additionally, preliminary studies, employing a drop-casted ink of 0.4 mg cm−2 [Ag(I)(4-OMe-BIAN)2]BF4 (Ag4) immobilized onto carbon paper gas diffusion electrodes in a flow cell with 1M KHCO3 aqueous electrolyte, resulted in a propitious Faradaic efficiency of 51% for CO at a current density of 50 mA cm−2.

Abstract
Global climate changes have been impacted by the excessive CO 2 emission, which exacerbates the environmental problems. Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (CO 2 RR) offers the solution for utilizing CO 2 as feedstocks for value-added products while potentially mitigating the negative effects. Owing to the extreme stability of CO 2 , selectivity and efficiency are crucial factors in the development of CO 2 RR electrocatalysts. Recently, single-atom catalysts have emerged as potential electrocatalysts for CO 2 reduction. They generally comprise of atomically- and molecularly dispersed active sites over conductive supports, which enable atomic-level and molecular-level modulations. In this minireview, catalyst preparations, principle of modulations, and reaction mechanisms are summarised together with related recent advances. The atomic-level modulations are first discussed, followed by the molecular-level modulations. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities are provided as guidance for further developments regarding the discussed topics.

Abstract
Increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2 is a worldwide concern and continues to trigger various environmental problems. Photo- or electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2-Red) using solar energy, i.e., artificial photosynthesis, is a prospective technique owing to its sustainability and the usefulness of the reaction products. Concentrations of CO2 in exhaust gases from industries are several % to 20%, and that in the atmosphere is about 400 ppm. Although condensation processes of CO2 require high energy consumption and cost, pure CO2 has been used in most of the reported studies for photo- and electrocatalytic CO2-Red because the reaction between CO2 and the catalyst could be one of the rate-limiting steps. To address these issues and provide a repository of potential techniques for other researchers, this perspective summarizes the catalytic systems reported for the reduction of low-concentration CO2, which utilize a combination of catalytic CO2-Red and CO2-capturing reactions (or CO2 adsorption). First, we describe CO2 insertions into M-X bonds of the catalysts, which increase the rate constants and/or equilibrium constants for CO2 binding on the catalysts, and modifications of the second coordination sphere to stabilize the CO2-bound catalysts. Furthermore, we discuss the reaction media used for catalytic CO2-Red that have the unique effect of increasing CO2 concentrations around the catalysts. These reaction media include typical CO2-capturing additives, ionic liquids, and metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
The synthesis of organic chemicals from H2O and CO2 using solar energy is important for recycling CO2 through cyclical use of chemical ingredients produced from CO2 or molecular energy carriers based on CO2. Similar to photosynthesis in plants, the CO2 molecules are reduced by electrons and protons, which are extracted from H2O molecules, to produce O2. This reaction is uphill; therefore, the solar energy is stored as the chemical bonding energy in the organic molecules. This artificial photosynthetic technology mimicking green vegetation should be implemented as a self-standing system for on-site direct solar energy storage that supports CO2 recycling in a circular economy. Herein, we explain our interdisciplinary fusion methodology to develop hybrid photocatalysts and photoelectrodes for an artificial photosynthetic system for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) in aqueous solutions. The key factor for the system is the integration of uniquely different functions of molecular transition-metal complexes and solid semiconductors. A metal complex catalyst and a semiconductor appropriate for a CO2RR and visible-light absorption, respectively, are linked, and they function complementary way to catalyze CO2RR under visible-light irradiation as a particulate photocatalyst dispersion in solution. It has also been proven that Ru complexes with bipyridine ligands can catalyze a CO2RR as photocathodes when they are linked with various semiconductor surfaces, such as those of doped tantalum oxides, doped iron oxides, indium phosphides, copper-based sulfides, selenides, silicon, and others. These photocathodes can produce formate and carbon monoxide using electrons and protons extracted from water through potential-matched connections with photoanodes such as TiO2 or SrTiO3 for oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). Benefiting from the very low overpotential of an aqueous CO2RR at metal complexes approaching the theoretical lower limit, the semiconductor/molecule hybrid system demonstrates a single tablet-formed monolithic electrode called "artificial leaf." This single electrode device can generate formate (HCOO-) from H2O and CO2 in a water-filled single-compartment reactor without requiring a separation membrane under unassisted or bias-free conditions, either electrically or chemically. The reaction proceeds with a stoichiometric electron/hole ratio and stores solar energy with a solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency of 4.6%, which exceeds that of plants. In this Account, the key results that marked our milestones in technological progress of the semiconductor/molecule hybrid photosystem are concisely explained. These results include design, proof of the principle, and understanding of the phenomena by time-resolved spectroscopies, synchrotron radiation analyses, and DFT calculations. These results enable us to address challenges toward further scientific progress and the social implementation, including the use of earth-abundant elements and the scale-up of the solar-driven CO2RR system.

Abstract
![]()
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is a critical objective
in the field of artificial photosynthesis because it can potentially
make a total solution for global warming and shortage of energy and
carbon resources. We have successfully developed various highly efficient,
stable, and selective photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction
using transition metal complexes as both photosensitizers and catalysts.
The molecular architectures for constructing selective and efficient
photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction are discussed
herein. As a typical example, a mixed system of a ring-shaped Re(I)
trinuclear complex as a photosensitizer and fac-[Re(bpy)(CO)3{OC2H4N(C2H4OH)2}] as a catalyst selectively photocatalyzed CO2 reduction to CO with the highest quantum yield of 82% and a turnover
number (TON) of over 600. Not only rare and noble metals but also
earth abundant ones, such as Mn(I), Cu(I), and Fe(II) can be used
as central metal cations. In the case using a Cu(I) dinuclear complex
as a photosensitizer and fac-Mn(bpy)(CO)3Br as a catalyst, the total formation quantum yield of CO and HCOOH
from CO2 was 57% and TONCO+HCOOH exceeded 1300. Efficient supramolecular photocatalysts for CO2 reduction,
in which photosensitizer and catalyst units are connected through
a bridging ligand, were developed for removing a diffusion control
on collisions between a photosensitizer and a catalyst. Supramolecular
photocatalysts, in which [Ru(N∧N)3]2+-type photosensitizer and Re(I) or Ru(II) catalyst units
are connected to each other with an alkyl chain, efficiently and selectively
photocatalyzed CO2 reduction in solutions. Mechanistic
studies using time-resolved IR and electrochemical measurements provided
molecular architecture for constructing efficient supramolecular photocatalysts.
A Ru(II)–Re(I) supramolecular photocatalyst constructed according
to this molecular architecture efficiently photocatalyzed CO2 reduction even when it was fixed on solid materials. Harnessing
this property of the supramolecular photocatalysts, two types of hybrid
photocatalytic systems were developed, namely, photocatalysts with
light-harvesting capabilities and photoelectrochemical systems for
CO2 reduction. Introduction of light-harvesting capabilities
into molecular photocatalytic
systems should be important because the intensity of solar light shone
on the earth’s surface is relatively low. Periodic mesoporous
organosilica, in which methyl acridone groups are embedded in the
silica framework as light harvesters, was combined with a Ru(II)–Re(I)
supramolecular photocatalyst with phosphonic acid anchoring groups.
In this hybrid, the photons absorbed by approximately 40 methyl acridone
groups were transferred to one Ru(II) photosensitizer unit, and then,
the photocatalytic CO2 reduction commenced. To use
water as an abundant electron donor, we developed hybrid
photocatalytic systems combining metal-complex photocatalysts with
semiconductor photocatalysts that display high photooxidation powers,
in which two photons are sequentially absorbed by the metal-complex
photosensitizer and the semiconductor, resulting in both high oxidation
and reduction power. Various types of dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes
comprising the p-type semiconductor electrodes and the supramolecular
photocatalysts were developed. Full photoelectrochemical cells combining
these dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes and n-type semiconductor
photoanodes achieved CO2 reduction using only visible light
as the energy source and water as the reductant. Drastic improvement
of dye-sensitized molecular photocathodes is reported. The results
presented in this Account clearly indicate that we
can construct very efficient, selective, and durable photocatalytic
systems constructed with the metal-complex photosensitizers and catalysts.
The supramolecular-photocatalyst architecture in which the photosensitizer
and the catalyst are connected to each other is useful especially
on the surface of solid owing to rapid electron transfer from the
photosensitizer to the catalyst. On basis of these findings, we successfully
constructed hybrid systems of the supramolecular photocatalysts with
photoactive solid materials. These hybridizations can add new functions
to the metal-complex photocatalytic systems, such as water oxidation
and light harvesting.

Abstract
Construction of higher C≥2 compounds from CO2 constitutes an attractive transformation inspired by nature's strategy to build carbohydrates. However, controlled C-C bond formation from carbon dioxide using environmentally benign reductants remains a major challenge. In this respect, reductive dimerization of CO2 to oxalate represents an important model reaction enabling investigations on the mechanism of this simplest CO2 coupling reaction. Herein, we present common pitfalls encountered in CO2 reduction, especially its reductive coupling, based on established protocols for the conversion of CO2 into oxalate. Moreover, we provide an example to systematically assess these reactions. Based on our work, we highlight the importance of utilizing suitable orthogonal analytical methods and raise awareness of oxidative reactions that can likewise result in the formation of oxalate without incorporation of CO2. These results allow for the determination of key parameters, which can be used for tailoring of prospective catalytic systems and will promote the advancement of the entire field.

Abstract
Iron porphyrins are among the best molecular catalysts for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction. Powering these catalysts with the help of photosensitizers comes along with a couple of unsolved challenges that need to be addressed with much vigor. We have designed an iron porphyrin catalyst decorated with urea functions (UrFe) acting as a multipoint hydrogen bonding scaffold towards the CO2 substrate. We found a spectacular photocatalytic activity reaching unreported TONs and TOFs as high as 7270 and 3720 h-1 , respectively. While the Fe0 redox state has been widely accepted as the catalytically active species, we show here that the FeI species is already involved in the CO2 activation, which represents the rate-determining step in the photocatalytic cycle. The urea functions help to dock the CO2 upon photocatalysis. DFT calculations bring support to our experimental findings that constitute a new paradigm in the catalytic reduction of CO2 .

Abstract
Recycling of carbon dioxide to fuels and chemicals is a promising strategy for renewable energy storage. Carbon dioxide conversion can be achieved by (i) artificial photosynthesis using photoinduced electrons; (ii) electrolysis using electricity produced by photovoltaics; and (iii) thermal CO2 hydrogenation using renewable H2. The focus of our group's research is on molecular catalysts, in particular coordination complexes of transition metals (e.g., Mn, Re, and Ru), which offer versatile platforms for mechanistic studies of photo- and electrochemical CO2 reduction. The interactions of catalytic intermediates with Lewis or Brønsted acids, hydrogen-bonding moieties, solvents, cations, etc., that function as promoters or cofactors have become increasingly important for efficient catalysis. These interactions may have dramatic effects on selectivity and rates by stabilizing intermediates or lowering transition state barriers, but they are difficult to elucidate and challenging to predict. We have been carrying out experimental and theoretical studies of CO2 reduction using molecular catalysts toward addressing mechanisms of efficient CO2 reduction systems with emphasis on those containing intramolecular (or pendent) and intermolecular (solution phase) additives. This Account describes the identification of reaction intermediates produced during CO2 reduction in the presence of triethanolamine or ionic liquids, the benefits of hydrogen-bonding interactions among intermediates or cofactors, and the complications of pendent phenolic donors/phenoxide bases under electrochemical conditions.Triethanolamine (TEOA) is a common sacrificial electron donor for photosensitizer excited state reductive quenching and has a long history of use in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. It also functions as a Brønsted base in conjunction with more potent sacrificial electron donors, such as 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (BIH). Deprotonation of the BIH•+ cation radical promotes irreversible photoinduced electron transfer by preventing charge recombination. Despite its wide use, most research to date has not considered the broader reactions of TEOA, including its direct interaction with CO2 or its influence on catalytic intermediates. We found that in acetonitrile, TEOA captures CO2 in the form of a zwitterionic adduct without any metal catalyst. In the presence of ruthenium carbonyl catalysts bearing α-diimine ligands, it participates in metal hydride formation, accelerates hydride transfer to CO2 to form the bound formate intermediate, and assists in the dissociation of formate anion from the catalyst ( J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 2413-2428).Hydrogen bonding and acid/base promoters are understood to interact with key catalytic intermediates, such as the metallocarboxylate or metallocarboxylic acid during CO2 reduction. The former is a high energy species, and hydrogen-bonding or Lewis acid-stabilization are beneficial. We have found that imidazolium-based ionic liquid cations can stabilize the doubly reduced form of the [ReCl(bpy)(CO)3] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) electrocatalyst through both hydrogen-bonding and π-π interactions, resulting in CO2 reduction occurring at a more positive potential with a higher catalytic current ( J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2014, 5, 2033-2038). Hydrogen bonding interactions between Lewis basic methoxy groups in the second coordination sphere of a Mn-based catalyst and the OH group of the Mn-COOH intermediate in the presence of a Brønsted acid were also found to promote C-(OH) bond cleavage, enabling access to a low-energy protonation-first pathway for CO2 reduction ( J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017, 139, 2604-2618).The kinetics of forming the metallocarboxylic acid can be enhanced by internal acids, and its proton-induced C-OH bond cleavage to the metallocarbonyl and H2O is often the rate-limiting step. Therefore, proton movement organized by pendent hydrogen-bonding networks may also accelerate this step. In contrast, during electrolysis, OH groups in the second coordination sphere are deprotonated to the oxyanions, which deter catalytic CO2 reduction by directly binding CO2 to form the carbonate or by making an M-O bond in competition with CO2 binding ( Inorg. Chem. 2016, 55, 4582-4594). Our results emphasize that detailed mechanistic research is critical in discovering the design principles for improved catalysts.

Abstract
Purposefully developing crystalline materials at molecular level to improve the selectivity of electroreduction CO2 to CH4 is still rarely studied. Herein, a single crystal of copper(II) complex with hydroxy groups was designed and synthesized, namely 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)porphyrin copper(II) (Cu-PorOH), which could serve as a highly efficient heterogeneous electrocatalyst for electroreduction of CO2 toward CH4 . In 0.5 m KHCO3 , Cu-PorOH gave a high faradaic efficiency of 51.3 % for CH4 and drove a partial current density of 23.2 mA cm-2 at -1.5 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode in H-cell. The high performance was greatly promoted by the hydroxy groups in Cu-PorOH, which could not only form stable three-dimensional frameworks through hydrogen-bonding interactions but also stabilize the intermediate species by hydrogen bonds, as supported by density functional theory calculations. This work provides an effective avenue in exploring crystalline catalysts for CO2 reduction at molecular level.

Abstract
There has been rapid progress on the chemistry of supramolecular scaffolds that harness sunlight for aqueous photocatalytic production of hydrogen. However, great efforts are still needed to develop similar photosynthetic systems for the great challenge of CO2 reduction especially if they avoid the use of nonabundant metals. This work investigates the synthesis of supramolecular polymers capable of sensitizing catalysts that require more negative potentials than proton reduction. The monomers are chromophore amphiphiles based on a diareno-fused ullazine core that undergo supramolecular polymerization in water to create entangled nanoscale fibers. Under 450 nm visible light these fibers sensitize a dinuclear cobalt catalyst for CO2 photoreduction to generate carbon monoxide and methane using a sacrificial electron donor. The supramolecular photocatalytic system can generate amounts of CH4 comparable to those obtained with a precious metal-based [Ru(phen)3](PF6)2 sensitizer and, in contrast to Ru-based catalysts, retains photocatalytic activity in all aqueous media over 6 days. The present study demonstrates the potential of tailored supramolecular polymers as renewable energy and sustainability materials.

Abstract
Tungsten bipyridyl tetracarbonyl complexes were shown to reduce CO2 to CO in acetonitrile [Chem. Sci., 2014, 5, 1894-1900]. Here, we employ density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the electronic structure and reactivity of a series of tungsten electrocatalysts, [W(bpy-R)(CO)4] (where R = H, CH3, tBu, OCH3, CF3, and CN), for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Our proposed mechanism suggests that initial reduction of the starting material by two electrons is required to access the active catalyst upon CO dissociation, which is slightly endergonic, consistent with the slow product release observed experimentally. The doubly reduced species, which has a closed-shell singlet ground state, can bind CO2 via an η2-CO2 binding mode to yield the metallocarboxylate intermediate. Based on the energy span model, CO2 addition is the TOF-determining transition state (TDTS) in the presence of water as the proton source. Different substituents at the 4,4'-positions of the bipyridine ligand in [W(bpy-R)(CO)4] (R = H, CH3, tBu, OCH3, CF3, and CN) were considered to comprehend the substituent effects for CO2RR. DFT results show that electron-withdrawing substituents, such as CN and CF3, do not yield efficient CO2 reduction catalysts due to the necessity of forming high energy intermediates for the protonation steps, resulting in low TOFs and high overpotentials. Among electron-donating groups, the parent compound and tert-butyl substituted complex are the most active catalysts for CO2RR due to higher TOFs at low overpotentials. Overall, based on the energy span model and theoretical Tafel plots, our computational approach provides quantitative information for designing CO2 reduction electrocatalysts.
