Visible-light driven boosting electron-hole separation in CsPbBr 3 QDs@2D Cu-TCPP heterojunction and the efficient photoreduction of CO 2. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 608:3192-3203. [PMID: 34801238 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.11.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
CsPbBr3 quantum dots (CPB QDs) have great potential in photoreduction of CO2 to chemical fuels. However, the low charge transportation efficiency and chemical instability of CPB QDs presents a considerable challenge. Herein, we describe the electrostatic assemblies of negatively charged colloidal two dimensional (2D) Cu-Tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrins (Cu-TCPP) nanosheets and positively CPB QDs to construct the hydride heterojunction. The photogenerated electron migration from CPB QDs to Cu-TCPP nanosheets has been witnessed, providing the supply of long-lived electrons for the reduction of CO2 molecules adsorbed on Cu-TCPP matrix. As a direct result, The CPB@Cu-TCPP-x (x wt% of CPB QDs) photocatalysts exhibit significantly enhanced photocatalytic conversion of CO2, compared to the parent Cu-TCPP nanosheets or single CPB QDs. Especially, when with 20% CPB QDs, the heterostruture system achieves an evolution yield of 287.08 µmol g-1 in 4 h with highly CO selectivity (99%) under visible light irradiation, which is equivalent to a 3.87-fold improvement compared to the pristine CPB QDs. Meanwhile, the CH4 generation rate can be up to 3.25 µmol g-1. This optimized construction of heterostructure could provide a platform to funnel photoinduced electrons to the reaction center, which can both act as a crucial capture and the reaction actives of CO2.

Abstract
Enzymatic CO2 conversion offers a promising strategy for alleviating global warming and promoting renewable energy exploitation, while the high cost of cofactors is a bottleneck for large-scale applications. To address the challenge, cofactor regeneration is usually coupled with the enzymatic reaction. Meanwhile, artificial cofactors have been developed to further improve conversion efficiency and decrease cost. In this review, the methods, such as enzymatic, chemical, electrochemical, and photochemical catalysis, developed for cofactor regeneration, together with those developed artificial cofactors, were summarized and compared to offer a solution for large-scale enzymatic CO2 conversion in a sustainable way.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes, catalyzing the CO2 hydration at a high turnover number, can be employed in expediting CO2 capture, conversion and utilization to aid in carbon neutrality. Despite extensive research over the last decade, there remain challenges in CA-related technologies due to poor stability and suboptimal use of CAs. Herein, we discuss recent advances in CA stabilization by protein engineering and enzyme immobilization, and shed light on state-of-the-art of in vitro and in vivo CA-mediated CO2 conversion for improved production of value-added chemicals using CO2 as a feedstock.

Abstract
Global development has been heavily reliant on the overexploitation of natural resources since the Industrial Revolution. With the extensive use of fossil fuels, deforestation, and other forms of land-use change, anthropogenic activities have contributed to the ever-increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, causing global climate change. In response to the worsening global climate change, achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 is the most pressing task on the planet. To this end, it is of utmost importance and a significant challenge to reform the current production systems to reduce GHG emissions and promote the capture of CO2 from the atmosphere. Herein, we review innovative technologies that offer solutions achieving carbon (C) neutrality and sustainable development, including those for renewable energy production, food system transformation, waste valorization, C sink conservation, and C-negative manufacturing. The wealth of knowledge disseminated in this review could inspire the global community and drive the further development of innovative technologies to mitigate climate change and sustainably support human activities.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into C1 products is one of the most trending research subjects of current times as sustainable energy generation is the utmost need of the hour. In this review, we have tried to comprehensively summarize the potential of supramolecule-based photocatalysts for CO2 reduction into C1 compounds. At the outset, we have thrown light on the inert nature of gaseous CO2 and the various challenges researchers are facing in its reduction. The evolution of photocatalysts used for CO2 reduction, from heterogeneous catalysis to supramolecule-based molecular catalysis, and subsequent semiconductor-supramolecule hybrid catalysis has been thoroughly discussed. Since CO2 is thermodynamically a very stable molecule, a huge reduction potential is required to undergo its one- or multielectron reduction. For this reason, various supramolecule photocatalysts were designed involving a photosensitizer unit and a catalyst unit connected by a linker. Later on, solid semiconductor support was also introduced in this supramolecule system to achieve enhanced durability, structural compactness, enhanced charge mobility, and extra overpotential for CO2 reduction. Reticular chemistry is seen to play a pivotal role as it allows bringing all of the positive features together from various components of this hybrid semiconductor-supramolecule photocatalyst system. Thus, here in this review, we have discussed the selection and role of various components, viz. the photosensitizer component, the catalyst component, the linker, the semiconductor support, the anchoring ligands, and the peripheral ligands for the design of highly performing CO2 reduction photocatalysts. The selection and role of various sacrificial electron donors have also been highlighted. This review is aimed to help researchers reach an understanding that may translate into the development of excellent CO2 reduction photocatalysts that are operational under visible light and possess superior activity, efficiency, and selectivity.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) can store and transform the intermittent renewable energy in the form of chemical energy for industrial production of chemicals and fuels, which can dramatically reduce CO2 emission and contribute to carbon-neutral cycle. Efficient electrocatalytic reduction of chemically inert CO2 is challenging from thermodynamic and kinetic points of view. Therefore, low-cost, highly efficient, and readily available electrocatalysts have been the focus for promoting the conversion of CO2. Very recently, interface engineering has been considered as a highly effective strategy to modulate the electrocatalytic performance through electronic and/or structural modulation, regulations of electron/proton/mass/intermediates, and the control of local reactant concentration, thereby achieving desirable reaction pathway, inhibiting competing hydrogen generation, breaking binding-energy scaling relations of intermediates, and promoting CO2 mass transfer. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of current developments in interface engineering for CO2RR from both a theoretical and experimental standpoint, involving interfaces between metal and metal, metal and metal oxide, metal and nonmetal, metal oxide and metal oxide, organic molecules and inorganic materials, electrode and electrolyte, molecular catalysts and electrode, etc. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of interface engineering for CO2RR are proposed.

Abstract
Developing (chemo)enzymatic cascades is very attractive for green synthesis, because they streamline multistep synthetic processes. In this Feature Article, we have summarized the recent advances in in vitro or whole-cell cascade reactions with a focus on the use of renewable bio-based resources as starting materials. This includes the synthesis of rare sugars (such as ketoses, L-ribulose, D-tagatose, myo-inositol or aminosugars) from readily available carbohydrate sources (cellulose, hemi-cellulose, starch), in vitro enzyme pathways to convert glucose to various biochemicals, cascades to convert 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural obtained from lignin or xylose into novel precursors for polymer synthesis, the syntheses of phenolic compounds, cascade syntheses of aliphatic and highly reduced chemicals from plant oils and fatty acids, upgrading of glycerol or ethanol as well as cascades to transform natural L-amino acids into high-value (chiral) compounds. In several examples these processes have demonstrated their efficiency with respect to high space-time yields and low E-factors enabling mature green chemistry processes. Also, the strengths and limitations are discussed and an outlook is provided for improving the existing and developing new cascades.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels outside of the physiological range are frequently encountered in the tumor microenvironment and laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum during clinical cancer therapy. Controversies exist regarding the biological effects of hypercapnia on tumor proliferation and metastasis concerning time frame, CO2 concentration, and cell type. Traditional control of gaseous microenvironments for cell growth is conducted using culture chambers that allow for a single gas concentration at a time. In the present paper, Hela cells were studied for their response to varying levels of CO2 in an aerogel-based gas gradient-generating apparatus capable of delivering a stable and quantitative linear CO2 profile in spatial and temporal domains. Cells cultured in the standard 96-well plate sandwiched in between the device were interfaced with the gas gradient generator, and the cells in each row were exposed to a known level of CO2 accordingly. Both the ratiometric pH indicator and theoretical modeling have confirmed the efficient mass transport of CO2 through the air-permeable aerogel monolith in a short period of time. Tumor cell behaviors in various hypercapnic microenvironments with gradient CO2 concentrations ranging from 12 to 89% were determined in terms of viability, morphology, and mitochondrial metabolism under acute exposure for 3 h and over a longer cultivation period for up to 72 h. A significant reduction in cell viability was noticed with increasing CO2 concentration and incubation time, which was closely associated with intracellular acidification and elevated cellular level of reactive oxygen species. Our modular device demonstrated full adaptability to the standard culture systems and high-throughput instruments, which provide the potential for simultaneously screening the responses of cells under tunable gaseous microenvironments.

Abstract
In recent years, CO2 reduction and utilization have been proposed as an innovative solution for global warming and the ever-growing energy and raw material demands. In contrast to various classical methods, including chemical, electrochemical, and photochemical methods, enzymatic methods offer a green and sustainable option for CO2 conversion. In addition, enzymatic hydrogenation of CO2 into platform chemicals could be used to produce economically useful hydrogen storage materials, making it a win-win strategy. The thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the CO2 molecule makes its utilization a challenging task. However, Nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent formate dehydrogenases (FDHs), which have high selectivity and specificity, are attractive catalysts to overcome this issue and convert CO2 into fuels and renewable chemicals. It is necessary to improve the stability, cofactor necessity, and CO2 conversion efficiency of these enzymes, such as by combining them with appropriate hybrid systems. However, metal-independent, NAD+-dependent FDHs, and their CO2 reduction activity have received limited attention to date. This review outlines the CO2 reduction ability of these enzymes as well as their properties, reaction mechanisms, immobilization strategies, and integration with electrochemical and photochemical systems for the production of formic acid or formate. The biotechnological applications of FDH, future perspectives, barriers to CO2 reduction with FDH, and aspects that must be further developed are briefly summarized. We propose that constructing hybrid systems that include NAD+-dependent FDHs is a promising approach to convert CO2 and strengthen the sustainable carbon bio-economy.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) occurs naturally in the atmosphere as a trace gas, which is produced naturally as well as by anthropogenic activities. CO2 is a readily available source of carbon that in principle can be used as a raw material for the synthesis of valuable products. The autotrophic organisms are naturally equipped to convert CO2 into biomass by obtaining energy from sunlight or inorganic electron donors. This autotrophic CO2 fixation has been exploited in biotechnology, and microbial cell factories have been metabolically engineered to convert CO2 into biofuels and other value-added bio-based chemicals. A variety of metabolic engineering efforts for CO2 fixation ranging from basic copy, paste, and fine-tuning approaches to engineering and testing of novel synthetic CO2 fixing pathways have been demonstrated. In this paper, we review the current advances and innovations in metabolic engineering for bio-conversion of CO2 into bio biofuels and other value-added bio-based chemicals.

Abstract
A continuous increase in the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is causing serious threats to the environment and life on the earth, and CO2 is one of the major candidates. Reducing the excess CO2 by converting into industrial products could be beneficial for the environment and also boost up industrial growth. In particular, the conversion of CO2 into methanol is very beneficial as it is cheaper to produce from biomass, less inflammable, and advantageous to many industries. Application of various plants, algae, and microbial enzymes to recycle the CO2 and using these enzymes separately along with CO2-phillic materials and chemicals can be a sustainable solution to reduce the global carbon footprint. Materials such as MOFs, porphyrins, and nanomaterials are also used widely for CO2 absorption and conversion into methanol. Thus, a combination of enzymes and materials which convert the CO2 into methanol could energize the CO2 utilization. The CO2 to methanol conversion utilizes carbon better than the conventional syngas and the reaction yields fewer by-products. The methanol produced can further be utilized as a clean-burning fuel, in pharmaceuticals, automobiles and as a general solvent in various industries etc. This makes methanol an ideal fuel in comparison to the conventional petroleum-based ones and it is advantageous for a safer and cleaner environment. In this review article, various aspects of the circular economy with the present scenario of environmental crisis will also be considered for large-scale sustainable biorefinery of methanol production from atmospheric CO2.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the iconic greenhouse gas and the major factor driving present global climate change, incentivizing its capture and recycling into valuable products and fuels. The 6H+/6e- reduction of CO2 affords CH3OH, a key compound that is a fuel and a platform molecule. In this Review, we compare different routes for CO2 reduction to CH3OH, namely, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation, as well as enzymatic catalysis, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. We describe the leading catalysts and the conditions under which they operate, and then consider their advantages and drawbacks in terms of selectivity, productivity, stability, operating conditions, cost and technical readiness. At present, heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysis and electrocatalysis have the greatest promise for large-scale CO2 reduction to CH3OH. The availability and price of sustainable electricity appear to be essential prerequisites for efficient CH3OH synthesis.

Abstract
The accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of human activities has caused a number of adverse circumstances in the world. For this reason, the proposed solutions lie within the aim of reducing carbon dioxide emissions have been quite valuable. However, as the human activity continues to increase on this planet, the possibility of reducing carbon dioxide emissions decreases with the use of conventional methods. The emergence of compounds than can be used in different fields by converting the released carbon dioxide into different chemicals will construct a fundamental solution to the problem. Although electro-catalysis or photolithography methods have emerged for this purpose, they have not been able to achieve successful results. Alternatively, another proposed solution are enzyme based systems. Among the enzyme-based systems, pyruvate decarboxylase, carbonic anhydrase and dehydrogenases have been the most studied enzymes. Pyruvate dehydrogenase and carbonic anhydrase have either been an expensive method or were incapable of producing the desired result due to the reaction cascade they catalyze. However, the studies reporting the production of industrial chemicals from carbon dioxide using dehydrogenases and in particular, the formate dehydrogenase enzyme, have been remarkable. Moreover, reported studies have shown the existence of more active and stable enzymes, especially the dehydrogenase family that can be identified from the biome. In addition to this, their redesign through protein engineering can have an immense contribution to the increased use of enzyme-based methods in CO2 reduction, resulting in an enormous expansion of the industrial capacity.

Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations are today an extremely valuable tool for studying enzymatic reaction mechanisms. In this mini-review, we summarize our recent work on several metal-dependent decarboxylases, where we used the so-called cluster approach to decipher the details of the reaction mechanisms, including elucidation of the identity of the metal cofactors and the origins of substrate specificity. Decarboxylases are of growing potential for biocatalytic applications, as they can be used in the synthesis of novel compounds of, e.g., pharmaceutical interest. They can also be employed in the reverse direction, providing a strategy to synthesize value‐added chemicals by CO2 fixation. A number of non-redox metal-dependent decarboxylases from the amidohydrolase superfamily have been demonstrated to have promiscuous carboxylation activities and have attracted great attention in the recent years. The computational mechanistic studies provide insights that are important for the further modification and utilization of these enzymes in industrial processes. The discussed enzymes are: 5‐carboxyvanillate decarboxylase, γ‐resorcylate decarboxylase, 2,3‐dihydroxybenzoic acid decarboxylase, and iso-orotate decarboxylase.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction to value-added chemicals and fuels is a promising approach to mitigate the greenhouse effect arising from anthropogenic CO2 emission and energy shortage caused by the depletion of nonrenewable fossil fuels. The generation of multicarbon (C2+) products, especially hydrocarbons and oxygenates, is of great interest for industrial applications. To date, Cu is the only metal known to catalyze the C-C coupling in the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) with appreciable efficiency and kinetic viability to produce a wide range of C2 products in aqueous solutions. Nonetheless, poor product selectivity associated with Cu is the main technical problem for the application of the eCO2RR technology on a global scale. Based on extensive research efforts, a delicate and rational design of electrocatalyst architecture using the principles of nanotechnology is likely to significantly affect the adsorption energetics of some key intermediates and hence the inherent reaction pathways. In this review, we summarize recent progress that has been achieved by tailoring the electrocatalyst architecture for efficient electrochemical CO2 conversion to the target C2 products. By considering the experimental and computational results, we further analyze the underlying correlations between the architecture of a catalyst and its selectivity toward C2 products. Finally, the major challenges are outlined, and directions for future development are suggested.

Abstract
Metal-carbon matrix catalyst has attracted a great deal of interest in electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) due to its excellent electrocatalytic performance. However, the design of highly active metal-carbon matrix catalyst towards CO2RR using natural biomass and cheap chemical precursors is still under challenge. Herein, a self-assembly strategy, along with CO2 gas as acidifying agent, to fabricate silk fibroin (SF) derived carbon aerogels (CA) combining trace copper nanoparticles (SF-Cu/CA) is developed. Zinc nitrate was introduced as a pore-forming agent to further optimize the pore structure of the as-prepared catalysts to form SF-Cu/CA-1. The rich mesoporous structure and unique constitute of SF-Cu/CA-1 is conducive to exposed numerous active sites, fast electron transfer rate, and the desorption of *CO intermediate, thus leading to the electrocatalytic CO2RR of SF-Cu/CA-1 catalyst with an excellent current density of 29.4 mA cm-2, Faraday efficiency of 83.06% towards carbon monoxide (CO), high the ratio value of CO/H2 (19.58), and a long-term stability over a 10-hour period. This performance is superior to that of SF-Cu/CA catalyst (13.0 mA cm-2, FECO=58.43%, CO/H2 = 2.16). This work not only offers a novel strategy using natural biomass and cheap chemicals to build metal-carbon matrix catalyst for electrocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion, but also is expected to promote the industrial-scale implementations of CO2 electroreduction.

Abstract
Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formic acid by the enzyme formate dehydrogenase (FDH) is a promising technology for reducing CO2 concentrations in an environmentally friendly manner. However, the easy separation of FDH with enhanced stability and reusability is essential to the practical and economical implementation of the process. To achieve this, the enzyme must be used in an immobilized form. However, conventional immobilization by physical adsorption is prone to leaching, resulting in low stability. Although other immobilization methods (such as chemical adsorption) enhance stability, they generally result in low activity. In addition, mass transfer limitations are a major problem with most conventional immobilized enzymes. In this review paper, the effectiveness of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is assessed as a promising alternative support for FDH immobilization. Kinetic mechanisms and stability of wild FDH from various sources were assessed and compared to those of cloned and genetically modified FDH. Various techniques for the synthesis of MOFs and different immobilization strategies are presented, with special emphasis on in situ and post synthetic immobilization of FDH in MOFs for CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
Due to low carboxylase activity, CO2 biotransformation is challenging to achieve using natural CO2 fixation pathways. Liu et al. have improved the activity of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) 94-fold, enabling the efficient synthesis of succinate from acetyl-CoA and paving the way for CO2 assimilation via the 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP) bicycle or 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate (3-HP/4-HB) cycle.

Abstract
Biohybrid photoelectrochemical systems could combine the light-harvesting ability of semiconductor photocatalysts and the CO2-processing capability of biocatalysts to realize CO2 reduction. How to develop the energy-utilized model can be of importance for the mechanism exploration of photosynthesis. Here, a biohybrid photoelectrochemical system based on HCOO--CO2 circulation was developed to realize the conversion both of solar-to-electric energy and chemical-to-electric energy. The device consists of a TiO2 nanoparticle photoanode and a laser-scribed graphene/formate dehydrogenase biocathode, which was utilized for the formic acid oxidation and the biocatalysis reduction of CO2 to HCOO-, respectively. The as-proposed biohybrid photoelectrochemical system exhibits good performance with an open-circuit potential of 0.93 V and a maximum power output density of 76 μW cm-2. This ingenious strategy not only exploits a robust carbon circulation system for the conversion of solar energy but also provides a way of constructing complex artificial photosynthesis systems.

Abstract
Zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (Zn-TPP) solubilized by GroEL protein cage was prepared as a supramolecular mimic of carbonic anhydrase (CA) for CO2 capture. It is shown that the soluble Zn-TPP-GroEL complex can be formed easily by detergent dialysis. The Zn-TPP/GroEL binding ratio was found to increase with their dialysis ratio until reaching the maximum of about 30 porphyrins per protein cage. Moreover, the complex showed hydrase activity that catalyzes the CO2 hydration in HCO3- and H+. It is further seen that the catalytic activity of Zn-TPP-GroEL was about one-half of that of a bovine CA at 25 °C. On the other hand, as the temperature was increased to 60 °C close to an industrial CO2 absorption temperature, the natural enzyme lost function while Zn-TPP-GroEL exhibited better catalytic performance indicative of a higher thermal stability. Finally, we demonstrate that the GroEL-solubilized Zn-TPP is able to accelerate the precipitation of CO2 in the form of CaCO3 and has better long-term performance than the bovine CA. Thus a new type of nano-caged system mimicking natural CAs for potential applications in carbon capture has been established.

Abstract
Rising anthropogenic CO2 emissions and their climate warming effects have triggered a global response in research and development to reduce the emissions of this harmful greenhouse gas. The use of CO2 as a feedstock for the production of value-added fuels and chemicals is a promising pathway for development of renewable energy storage and reduction of carbon emissions. Electrochemical CO2 conversion offers a promising route for value-added products. Considerable challenges still remain, limiting this technology for industrial deployment. This work reviews the latest developments in experimental and modeling studies of three-dimensional cathodes towards high-performance electrochemical reduction of CO2. The fabrication-microstructure-performance relationships of electrodes are examined from the macro- to nanoscale. Furthermore, future challenges, perspectives and recommendations for high-performance cathodes are also presented.

Abstract
To contribute a solution for the global warming problem, the selective electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO was studied in the gas phase using a [CO2(g), Co-N-C cathode | Nafion-H | Pt/C anode, H2/water] system without using carbonate solutions. The Co-N-C electrocatalysts were synthesized by partial pyrolysis of precursors in inert gas, which were prepared from various N-bidentate ligands, Co(NO3)2, and Ketjenblack (KB). The most active electrocatalyst was Co-(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine)/KB pyrolyzed at 673 K, denoted Co-4,4'-dmbpy/KB(673K). A high performance of CO formation (331 μmol h-1 cm-2, 217 TOF h-1) at 0.020 A cm-2 with 78% current efficiency was obtained at -0.75 V (SHE) and 273 K under strong acidic conditions of Nafion-H. Characterization studies using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray (TEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and temperature-programmed desorption with mass spectrometry (TPD-MS) indicated the active site as Co coordinated with four N atoms bonding the surface of KB, abbreviated Co-N4-C x structure. A model of the reduction mechanism of CO2 on the active site was proposed.

Abstract
The recent transport electrification trend is pushing governments to limit the future use of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs). However, the rationale for this strong limitation is frequently not sufficiently addressed or justified. The problem does not seem to lie within the engines nor with the combustion by themselves but seemingly, rather with the rise in greenhouse gases (GHG), namely CO2, rejected to the atmosphere. However, it is frequent that the distinction between fossil CO2 and renewable CO2 production is not made, or even between CO2 emissions and pollutant emissions. The present revision paper discusses and introduces different alternative fuels that can be burned in IC Engines and would eliminate, or substantially reduce the emission of fossil CO2 into the atmosphere. These may be non-carbon fuels such as hydrogen or ammonia, or biofuels such as alcohols, ethers or esters, including synthetic fuels. There are also other types of fuels that may be used, such as those based on turpentine or even glycerin which could maintain ICEs as a valuable option for transportation.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) to value-added chemicals and fuels is regarded as an effective strategy to mitigate climate change caused by CO2 from excess consumption of fossil fuels. To achieve CO2 conversion with high faradaic efficiency, low overpotential, and excellent product selectivity, rational design and synthesis of efficient electrocatalysts is of significant importance, which dominates the development of ECR field. Individual organic molecules or inorganic catalysts have encountered a bottleneck in performance improvement owing to their intrinsic shortcomings. Very recently, organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials as electrocatalysts have exhibited high performance and interesting reaction processes for ECR due to the integration of the advantages of both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic processes, attracting widespread interest. In this work, the recent advances in designing various organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials at the atomic and molecular level for ECR are systematically summarized. Particularly, the reaction mechanism and structure-performance relationship of organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials toward ECR are discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and opportunities toward controlled synthesis of advanced electrocatalysts are proposed for paving the development of the ECR field.

Abstract
Increasing risks from global warming impose an urgent need to develop technologically and economically feasible means to reduce CO2 content in the atmosphere. Carbon capture and utilization technologies and carbon markets have been established for this purpose. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) presents a promising solution, fulfilling carbon-neutral goals and sustainable materials production. This review aims to elaborate on various components in CO2RR reactors and relevant industrial processing. First, major performance metrics are discussed, with requirements obtained from a techno-economic analysis. Detailed discussions then emphasize on (i) technical benefits and challenges regarding different reactor types, (ii) critical features in flow cell systems that enhance CO2 diffusion compared to conventional H-cells, (iii) electrolyte and its effect on liquid phase electrolyzers, (iv) catalysts for feasible products (carbon monoxide, formic acid and multi-carbons) and (v) strategies on flow channel and anode design as next steps. Finally, specific perspectives on CO2 feeds for the reactor and downstream purification techniques are annotated as part of the CO2RR industrial processing. Overall, we focus on the component and system aspects for the design of a CO2RR reactor, while pointing out challenges and opportunities to realize the ultimate goal of viable carbon capture and utilization technology.

Abstract
A range of hitherto unexplored biomass-derived chemicals have been evaluated as new sustainable solvents for a large variety of CO2 -based carboxylation reactions. Known biomass-derived solvents (biosolvents) are also included in the study and the results are compared with commonly used solvents for the reactions. Biosolvents can be efficiently applied in a variety of carboxylation reactions, such as Cu-catalyzed carboxylation of organoboranes and organoboronates, metal-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation, borocarboxylation, and other related reactions. For many of these reactions, the use of biosolvents provides comparable or better yields than the commonly used solvents. The best biosolvents identified are the so far unexplored candidates isosorbide dimethyl ether, acetaldehyde diethyl acetal, rose oxide, and eucalyptol, alongside the known biosolvent 2-methyltetrahydrofuran. This strategy was used for the synthesis of the commercial drugs Fenoprofen and Flurbiprofen.

Abstract
Recently, the reduction of CO2 to fuels has been the subject of numerous studies, but the selectivity and activity remain inadequate. Progress has been made on single-site two-dimensional catalysts based on graphene coupled to a metal and nitrogen for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR); however, the product is usually CO, and the metal-N environment remains ambiguous. We report a novel two-dimensional graphene nitrene heterostructure (grafiN6) providing well-defined active sites (N6) that can bind one to three metals for the CO2RR. We find that homobimetallic FeFe-grafiN6 could reduce CO2 to CH4 at -0.61 V and to CH3CH2OH at -0.68 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, with high product selectivity. Moreover, the heteronuclear FeCu-grafiN6 system may be significantly less affected by hydrogen evolution reaction, while maintaining a low limiting potential (-0.68 V) for C1 and C2 mechanisms. Binding metals to one N6 site but not the other could promote efficient electron transport facilitating some reaction steps. This framework for single or multiple metal sites might also provide unique catalytic sites for other catalytic processes.
