Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon monoxide (CO), an increasingly available and low-cost feedstock that could benefit from CO2 reduction, to high value-added multi-carbon chemicals, is significant for desirable carbon cycling, as well as high efficiency conversion and high density storage of solar energy. However, developing low cost but highly active photocatalysts with long-term stability for CO coupling and reduction remains a great challenge. Herein, by density functional theory (DFT) computations and taking advantage of the frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) concept, we identified a complex consisting of single boron (B) atom decorated on the optically active C2N monolayer (i.e., B/C2N) as an efficient and stable photocatalyst for CO reduction. On the designed B/C2N catalyst, CO can be efficiently reduced to ethylene (C2H4) and propylene (C3H6) both with a free energy increase of 0.22 eV for the potential-determining step, which greatly benefits from the pull-push function of the B-N FLPs composed of the decorating B atom and host N atoms. Moreover, the newly designed B/C2N catalyst shows significant visible light absorption with a suitable band position for CO reduction to C2H4 and C3H6. All these unique features make the B/C2N photocatalyst an ideal candidate for visible light driven CO reduction to high value-added multi-carbon fuels and chemicals.

Abstract
Enzymes can perform complex multistep cascade reactions by linking multiple distinct catalytic sites via substrate channeling. We mimic this feature in a generalized approach with an electrocatalytic nanoparticle for the carbon dioxide reduction reaction comprising a Ag core surrounded by a porous Cu shell, providing different active sites in nanoconfined volumes. The architecture of the nanozyme provides the basis for a cascade reaction, which promotes C-C coupling reactions. The first step occurs on the Ag core, and the subsequent steps on the porous copper shell, where a sufficiently high CO concentration due to the nanoconfinement facilitates C-C bond formation. The architecture yields the formation of n-propanol and propionaldehyde at potentials as low as -0.6 V vs RHE.

Abstract
The product selectivity in the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide depends on the structure of the copper electrode. Cube-shaped copper catalysts, enclosed by {100} terraces, {110} edges, and {111} corners, exhibit a size-dependent enhanced only selectivity toward C2 products and ethylene in particular. However, the underlying chemical reasons for such a behavior are not fully understood. This computational work toward ethylene formation investigates the carbon dioxide electroreduction mechanism over copper nanocubes. The analysis of the different pathways illustrates that the thermodynamic picture is limited in describing the formation of this product. Based on the activation barriers associated with the limiting C2 formation step, we identify a dual-facet mechanism occurring at the interface between the {100} terraces and {110} edges. These results highlight that the reactivity of shape-controlled nanocatalysts goes beyond the facet-selectivity observed in single crystals owing to the possible synergies arising at the intersection between the enclosing crystalline planes.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to high-energy-density oxygenates and hydrocarbons beyond CO is important for long-term and large-scale renewable energy storage. However, the key step of the C-C bond formation needed for the generation of C2 products induces an additional barrier on the reaction. This inevitably creates larger overpotentials and greater variety of products as compared to the conversion of CO2 to C1 products. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the catalytic mechanism is required for advancing the design of efficient electrocatalysts to control the reaction pathway to the desired products. Herein, we present a critical appraisal of reduction of CO2 to C2 products focusing on the connection between the fundamentals of reaction and efficient electrocatalysts. An in-depth discussion of the mechanistic aspects of various C2 reaction pathways on copper-based catalysts is presented together with consideration of practical factors under electrocatalytic operating conditions. By providing some typical examples illustrating the benefit of merging theoretical calculations, surface characterization, and electrochemical measurements, we try to address the key issues of the ongoing debate toward better understanding electrochemical reduction of CO2 at the atomic level and envisioning the roadmap for C2 products generation.
