Abstract
This work reports an aqueous dye‐sensitized photoelectrochemical cell (DSPEC) capable of oxidizing glycerol (an archetypical biobased compound) coupled with H2 production. We employed a mesoporous TiO2 photoanode sensitized with the high potential thienopyrroledione‐based dye AP11, encased in an acetonitrile‐based redox‐gel that protects the photoanode from degradation by aqueous electrolytes. The use of the gel creates a biphasic system with an interface at the organic (gel) electrode and aqueous anolyte. Embedded in the acetonitrile gel is 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl (TEMPO), acting as both a redox‐mediator and a catalyst for oxidative transformations. Upon oxidation of TEMPO by the photoexcited dye, the in situ generated TEMPO+ shuttles through the gel to the acetonitrile–aqueous interface, where it acts as an oxidant for the selective conversion of glycerol to glyceraldehyde. The introduction of the redox‐gel layer affords a 10‐fold increase in the conversion of glycerol compared to the purely aqueous system. Our redox‐gel protected photoanode yielded a stable photocurrent over 48 hours of continuous operation, demonstrating that this DSPEC is compatible with alkaline aqueous reactions.

Abstract
We present a simple and easy-to-scale synthetic method to plug common organic photosensitizers into a cyanide-based network structure for the development of photosensitizer-water oxidation catalyst (PS-WOC) dyad assemblies for the photocatalytic water oxidation process. Three photosensitizers, one of which absorbs red light similar to P680 in photosystem II, were utilized to harvest different regions of the solar spectrum. Photosensitizers are covalently coordinated to CoFe Prussian blue structures to prepare PS-WOC dyads. All dyads exhibit steady water oxidation catalytic activities throughout a 6 h photocatalytic experiment. Our results demonstrate that the covalent coordination between the PS and WOC group not only enhances the photocatalytic activity but also improves the robustness of the organic PS group. The photocatalytic activity of "plug and play" dyads relies on several structural and electronic parameters, including the position of the energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the PS with respect to the HOMO level of the catalytic site, the intensity and wavelength of the absorption band of the PS, and the number of catalytic sites.

Abstract
![]()
Water oxidation is the step limiting
the efficiency of electrocatalytic
hydrogen production from water. Spectroelectrochemical analyses are
employed to make a direct comparison of water oxidation reaction kinetics
between a molecular catalyst, the dimeric iridium catalyst [Ir2(pyalc)2(H2O)4-(μ-O)]2+ (IrMolecular, pyalc
= 2-(2′pyridinyl)-2-propanolate) immobilized on a mesoporous
indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate, with that of an heterogeneous electrocatalyst,
an amorphous hydrous iridium (IrOx) film. For both systems, four analogous redox states were
detected, with the formation of Ir(4+)–Ir(5+) being the potential-determining
step in both cases. However, the two systems exhibit distinct water
oxidation reaction kinetics, with potential-independent first-order
kinetics for IrMolecular contrasting
with potential-dependent kinetics for IrOx. This is attributed to water oxidation on the heterogeneous
catalyst requiring co-operative effects between neighboring oxidized
Ir centers. The ability of IrMolecular to drive water oxidation without such co-operative effects
is explained by the specific coordination environment around its Ir
centers. These distinctions between molecular and heterogeneous reaction
kinetics are shown to explain the differences observed in their water
oxidation electrocatalytic performance under different potential conditions.

Abstract
Artificial photocatalytic CO2 reduction, using water as the reductant, is challenging mainly because it is difficult for multiple functional units to cooperate efficiently. Here, we show that the classic photosensitive and H2O-oxidizing ruthenium bipyridyl units and CO2-reducing cobalt imidazolate units can be incorporated into a metal-organic framework using a classic organic ligand, imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline. Under visible light without additional sacrificial agents and photosensitizers, the overall conversion of CO2 and H2O to CO and O2 was achieved by the multifunctional photocatalyst in the CH3CN/H2O mixed solvent with a high CO production rate of 11.2 μmol g-1 h-1 and CO selectivity of ca. 100%. Thanks to its ultramicroporous structure with moderately strong CO2 adsorption ability, the photocatalyst also exhibited high performances with CO/CH4 production rates of 5.15/0.62 and 4.26/0.20 μmol g-1 h-1 in the gas phase with pure and even diluted CO2, respectively. Photoluminescence emission spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical tests confirmed that the photosensitive and catalytic units cooperated well to give suitable photocatalytic redox potentials and fast electron-hole separation.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis provides a way to store solar energy in chemical bonds with water oxidation as a major challenge for creating highly efficient and robust photoanodes that mimic photosystem II. We report here an easily available pyridine N-oxide (PNO) derivative as an efficient electron transfer relay between an organic light absorber and molecular water oxidation catalyst on a nanoparticle TiO2 photoanode. Spectroscopic and kinetic studies revealed that the PNO/PNO+˙ couple closely mimics the redox behavior of the tyrosine/tyrosyl radical pair in PSII in improving light-driven charge separation via multi-step electron transfer. The integrated photoanode exhibited a 1 sun current density of 3 mA cm-2 in the presence of Na2SO3 and a highly stable photocurrent density of >0.5 mA cm-2 at 0.4 V vs. NHE over a period of 1 h for water oxidation at pH 7. The performance shown here is superior to those of previously reported organic dye-based photoanodes in terms of photocurrent and stability.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 into multicarbon (C2+ ) compounds by reductive homocoupling offers the possibility to transform renewable energy into chemical energy carriers and thereby create "carbon-neutral" fuels or other valuable products. Most available studies have employed heterogeneous metallic catalysts, but the use of molecular catalysts is still underexplored. However, several studies have already demonstrated the great potential of the molecular approach, namely, the possibility to gain a deep mechanistic understanding and a more precise control of the product selectivity. This Minireview summarizes recent progress in both the thermo- and electrochemical reductive homocoupling of CO2 toward C2+ products mediated by molecular catalysts. In addition, reductive CO homocoupling is discussed as a model for the further conversion of intermediates obtained from CO2 reduction, which may serve as a source of inspiration for developing novel molecular catalysts in the future.

Abstract
A system for visible light-driven hydrogen production from water is reported. This system makes use of a synthetic mini-enzyme known as a mimochrome (CoMC6*a) consisting of a cobalt deuteroporphyrin and two attached peptides as a catalyst, [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) as a photosensitizer, and ascorbic acid as a sacrificial electron donor. The system achieves turnover numbers (TONs) up to 10,000 with respect to catalyst and optimal activity at pH 7. Comparison with related systems shows that CoMC6*a maintains the advantages of biomolecular catalysts, while exceeding other cobalt porphyrins in terms of total TON and longevity of catalysis. Herein, we lay groundwork for future study, where the synthetic nature of CoMC6*a will provide a unique opportunity to tailor proton reduction chemistry and expand to new reactivity.

Abstract
The outer coordination sphere of metalloenzyme often plays an important role in its high catalytic activity, however, this principle is rarely considered in the design of man-made molecular catalysts. Herein, four Ru-bda (bda=2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylate) based molecular water oxidation catalysts with well-defined outer spheres are designed and synthesized. Experimental and theoretical studies showed that the hydrophobic environment around the Ru center could lead to thermodynamic stabilization of the high-valent intermediates and kinetic acceleration of the proton transfer process during catalytic water oxidation. By this outer sphere stabilization, a 6-fold rate increase for water oxidation catalysis has been achieved.

Abstract
Developing near-infrared responsive (NIR) photocatalysts is very important for the development of solar-driven photocatalytic systems. Metal sulfide semiconductors have been extensively used as visible-light responsive photocatalysts for photocatalytic applications owing to their high chemical variety, narrow bandgap and suitable redox potentials, particularly the benchmark ZnIn2S4. However, their potential as NIR-responsive photocatalysts is yet to be reported. Herein, for the first time demonstrated that upconversion nanoparticles can be delicately coupled with hierarchical ZnIn2S4 nanorods (UCNPs/ZIS) to assemble a NIR-responsive composite photocatalyst, and as such composite is verified by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra and upconversion luminescence spectra. As a result, remarkable photocatalytic CO and CH4 production rates of 1500 and 220 nmol g-1h-1, respectively, were detected for the UCNPs/ZIS composite under NIR-light irradiation (λ ≥ 800 nm), which is rarely reported in the literature. The remarkable photocatalytic activity of the UCNPs/ZIS composite can be understood not only because the heterojunction between UCNPs and ZIS can promote the charge separation efficiency, but also the intimate interaction of UCNPs with hierarchical ZIS nanorods can enhance the energy transfer. This finding may open a new avenue to develop more NIR-responsive photocatalysts for various solar energy conversion applications.

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
Mixed 3d metal oxides are some of the most promising water oxidation catalysts (WOCs), but it is very difficult to know the locations and percent occupancies of different 3d metals in these heterogeneous catalysts. Without such information, it is hard to quantify catalysis, stability, and other properties of the WOC as a function of the catalyst active site structure. This study combines the site selective synthesis of a homogeneous WOC with two adjacent 3d metals, [Co2Ni2(PW9O34)2]10- (Co2Ni2P2) as a tractable molecular model for CoNi oxide, with the use of multiwavelength synchrotron X-radiation anomalous dispersion scattering (synchrotron XRAS) that quantifies both the location and percent occupancy of Co (∼97% outer-central-belt positions only) and Ni (∼97% inner-central-belt positions only) in Co2Ni2P2. This mixed-3d-metal complex catalyzes water oxidation an order of magnitude faster than its isostructural analogue, [Co4(PW9O34)2]10- (Co4P2). Four independent and complementary lines of evidence confirm that Co2Ni2P2 and Co4P2 are the principal WOCs and that Co2+(aq) is not. Density functional theory (DFT) studies revealed that Co4P2 and Co2Ni2P2 have similar frontier orbitals, while stopped-flow kinetic studies and DFT calculations indicate that water oxidation by both complexes follows analogous multistep mechanisms, including likely Co-OOH formation, with the energetics of most steps being lower for Co2Ni2P2 than for Co4P2. Synchrotron XRAS should be generally applicable to active-site-structure-reactivity studies of multi-metal heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
A catalytic system based on earth-abundant elements that efficiently hydrogenates aryl olefins using visible light as the driving-force and H2O as the sole hydrogen atom source is reported. The catalytic system involves a robust and well-defined aminopyridine cobalt complex and a heteroleptic Cu photoredox catalyst. The system shows the reduction of styrene in aqueous media with a remarkable selectivity (>20 000) versus water reduction (WR). Reactivity and mechanistic studies support the formation of a [Co–H] intermediate, which reacts with the olefin via a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Synthetically useful deuterium-labelled compounds can be straightforwardly obtained by replacing H2O with D2O. Moreover, the dual photocatalytic system and the photocatalytic conditions can be rationally designed to tune the selectivity for aryl olefin vs. aryl ketone reduction; not only by changing the structural and electronic properties of the cobalt catalysts, but also by modifying the reduction properties of the photoredox catalyst. A dual catalytic system based on earth-abundant elements reduces aryl olefins to alkanes in aqueous media under visible light. Mechanistic studies allow for rational tunning of the system for the selective reduction of aryl olefins vs ketones and vice versa.![]()

Abstract
The conversion and storage of solar energy to chemical energy via artificial photosynthesis holds significant potential for optimizing the energy situation and mitigating the global warming effect. Photocatalytic water splitting utilizing particulate semiconductors offers great potential for the production of renewable hydrogen, while this cross-road among biology, chemistry, and physics features a topic with fascinating interdisciplinary challenges. Progress in photocatalytic water splitting has been achieved in recent years, ranging from fundamental scientific research to pioneering scalable practical applications. In this review, we focus mainly on the recent advancements in terms of the development of new light-absorption materials, insights and strategies for photogenerated charge separation, and studies towards surface catalytic reactions and mechanisms. In particular, we emphasize several efficient charge separation strategies such as surface-phase junction, spatial charge separation between facets, and polarity-induced charge separation, and also discuss their unique properties including ferroelectric and photo-Dember effects on spatial charge separation. By integrating time- and space-resolved characterization techniques, critical issues in photocatalytic water splitting including photoinduced charge generation, separation and transfer, and catalytic reactions are analyzed and reviewed. In addition, photocatalysts with state-of-art efficiencies in the laboratory stage and pioneering scalable solar water splitting systems for hydrogen production using particulate photocatalysts are presented. Finally, some perspectives and outlooks on the future development of photocatalytic water splitting using particulate photocatalysts are proposed.

Abstract
Cluster-continuum model calculations were conducted to decipher the mechanism of water oxidation catalyzed by a mononuclear copper complex. Among various O-O bond formation mechanisms investigated in this study, the most favorable pathway involved the nucleophilic attack of OH- onto the .+ L-CuII -OH- intermediate. During such process, the initial binding of OH- to the proximity of .+ L-CuII -OH- would result in the spontaneous oxidation of OH- , leading to OH⋅ radical and CuII -OH- species. The further O-O coupling between OH⋅ radical and CuII -OH- was associated with a barrier of 14.8 kcal mol-1 , leading to the formation of H2 O2 intermediate. Notably, the formation of "CuIII -O.- " species, a widely proposed active species for O-O bond formation, was found to be thermodynamically unfavorable and could be bypassed during the catalytic reactions. On the basis the present calculations, a catalytic cycle of the mononuclear copper complex-catalyzed water oxidation was proposed.

Abstract
A dinuclear Ru complex, proximal,proximal-[Ru2L(C8Otpy)2(OH)(OH2)]3+ (C8Otpy = 4'-octyloxy-2,2'; 6',2″-terpyridine) (1) with long alkoxyl chains, was synthesized to be immobilized on a carbon paper (CP) electrode via hydrophobic interactions between the long alkoxyl chains and the CP surface. The 1/CP electrode demonstrated efficient electrocatalytic water oxidation with a low overpotential (ηonset) of 0.26 V (based on the onset potential for water oxidation) in an aqueous medium at pH 7.0, which is compared advantageously with those of hitherto-reported molecular anodes for water oxidation. The active species of RuIIIRuIII(μ-OO) with a μ-OO bridge was involved in water oxidation at 0.95 V versus Ag/AgCl. As the applied potential increased to 1.40 V, water oxidation was promoted by participation of the more active species of RuIIIRuIV(μ-OO), and very durable electrocatalysis was gained for more than 35 h without elution of 1 into the electrolyte solution. The introduced long alkoxyl chains act as a dual role of the linker of 1 on the CP surface and decrease the η value. Theoretical investigation provides insights into the O-O bond formation mechanism and the activity difference between RuIIIRuIII(μ-OO) and RuIIIRuIV(μ-OO) for electrocatalytic water oxidation.

Abstract
The photosynthetic oxygen-evolving center (OEC) is a unique Mn4 CaO5 cluster that serves as a blueprint to develop superior water-splitting catalysts for the generation of solar fuels in artificial photosynthesis. It is a great challenge and long-standing issue to reveal the synthesizing mechanism of this Mn4 CaO5 cluster in both natural and artificial photosynthesis. Herein, efforts were made to reveal the synthesizing mechanism of an artificial Mn4 CaO4 cluster, a close mimic of the OEC. Four key intermediates were successfully isolated and structurally characterized for the first time. It was demonstrated that the Mn4 CaO4 cluster could be formed through a reaction between a thermodynamically stable Mn3 CaO4 cluster and an unusual four-coordinated MnIII ion, followed by stabilization process through binding an organic base (e.g., pyridine) on the "dangling" Mn ion. These findings shed new light on the synthesizing mechanism of the OEC and rational design of new artificial water-splitting catalysts.

Abstract
Molecular photocatalysts designed with earth-abundant elements are rare and challenging in artificial photosynthesis study. Herein, we report a multimetallic Fe2Na3 purpurin (1) complex for the reduction of CO2 in DMF under visible-light irradiation. The photocatalytic system achieves 91% selectivity and 2625 ± 334 turnovers of CO in 120 h, which is among the highest reported for a noble-metal-free catalyst without an additional photosensitizer. UV-vis and electrochemical studies suggest that the mechanism involves subsequent reductions and protonations of 1 to generate [FeII2Na3((H)2PP)6]5- and [FeIII2Na3((H)2PP)6]3- as the active photocatalysts in CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Inspired by the natural photosynthetic system in which proteins control the electron transfer from electron donors to acceptors, in this research, artificial polymers were tried to achieve this control effect. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was found to form complex with pigments 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TPPS) and its zinc complex (ZnTPPS) quantitatively through different interactions (hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds, respectively). These complex formations hinder the interaction between ground-state TPPS or ZnTPPS and an electron acceptor (methyl viologen, MV2+) and could control the photoinduced electron transfer from TPPS or ZnTPPS to MV2+, giving more electron transfer products methyl viologen cationic radical (MV+•). Other polymers such as PEG did not show similar results, indicating that PVP plays an important role in controlling the photoinduced electron transfer.

Abstract
SignificanceThe photosensitizer is one of the important components in the photocatalytic system. Molecular photosensitizers have well-defined structures, which is beneficial in revealing the catalysis mechanism and helpful for further structural design and performance optimization. However, separation and recycling of the molecular photosensitizers is a great problem. Loading them into/on two/three-dimensional supports through covalent bonds, electrostatic interactions, and supramolecular interactions is a method that enhances their separation and recycling capability. Nonetheless, the structures of the resulting composites are unclear. Thus, the development of highly crystalline heterogeneity methods for molecular photosensitizers, albeit greatly challenging, is meaningful and desirable in photocatalysis, through which heterogeneous photosensitizers with well-defined structures, definite catalysis mechanisms, and good catalytic performance would be expected.

Abstract
The utilization of earth-abundant low-toxicity metal ions in the construction of highly active and efficient molecular catalysts promoting the water oxidation reaction is important for developing a sustainable artificial energy cycle. However, the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the currently available molecular water oxidation catalysts (MWOCs) have not been comprehensively investigated. This Review summarizes the current status of MWOCs based on first-row transition metals in terms of their turnover frequency (TOF, a kinetic property) and overpotential (η, a thermodynamic property) and uses the relationship between log(TOF) and η to assess catalytic performance. Furthermore, the effects of the same ligand classes on these MWOCs are discussed in terms of TOF and η, and vice versa. The collective analysis of these relationships provides a metric for the direct comparison of catalyst systems and identifying factors crucial for catalyst design.

Abstract
Heterogenization of biomolecules by immobilizing on a metal oxide support could greatly enhance their catalytic activity and stability, but their interactions are generally weak. Herein, cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecules were firmly anchored on a Ce-based metal-organic framework (Ce-BTC) due to π-π stacking interaction between CoPc and aromatic frameworks of the BTC linker, which was followed by a calcination treatment to convert Ce-BTC to mesoporous CeO2 and realize a molecular-level dispersion of CoPc on the surface of CeO2. Various characterization results confirm the successful fabrication of molecular-based CoPc/CeO2 catalysts which exhibited good CO oxidation performance. Importantly, we found that the mixing manner of Ce-BTC and CoPc remarkably affects the physicochemical properties which then determined the catalytic performance of the resultant CoPc/CeO2 catalysts. In contrast, the direct physical mixing of CoPc and CeO2 led to poor performance toward CO oxidation, manifesting that the Ce-BTC-mediated CoPc loading strategy is promising for the heterogenization of catalytic biomolecules.

Abstract
Visible-light-driven organic oxidations carried out under mild conditions offer a sustainable approach to performing chemical transformations important to the chemical industry. This work reports an efficient photocatalytic benzyl alcohol oxidation process using one-dimensional (1D) TiO2 nanorod (NR)-based photoanodes with surface-adsorbed ruthenium polypyridyl photocatalysts at room temperature. The photocatalyst bis(2,2'-bipyridine)(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine)Ru(II) (RuC) was covalently anchored onto TiO2 nanorod arrays grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode surfaces (FTO|t-TiO2|RuC, t = the thickness of TiO2 NR). Under aerobic conditions, the photophysical and photocatalytic properties of FTO|t-TiO2|RuC (t = 1, 2, or 3.5 μm) photoanodes were investigated in a solution containing a hydrogen atom transfer mediator (4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl, ACT) as cocatalyst. Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DSPECs) using the FTO|t-TiO2|RuC (t = 1, 2, or 3.5 μm) photoanodes and ACT-containing electrolyte were investigated for carrying out photocatalytic oxidation of a lignin model compound containing a benzylic alcohol functional group. The best-performing anode surface, FTO|1-TiO2|RuC (shortest NR length), oxidized the 2° alcohol of the lignin model compound to the Cα-ketone form with a > 99% yield over a 4 h photocatalytic experiment with a Faradaic efficiency of 88%. The length of TiO2 NR arrays (TiO2 NRAs) on the FTO substrate influenced the photocatalytic performance with longer NRAs underperforming compared to the shorter arrays. The influence of the NR length is hypothesized to affect the homogeneity of the RuC coating and accessibility of the ACT mediator to the RuC-coated TiO2 surface. The efficient photocatalytic alcohol oxidation with visible light at room temperature as demonstrated in this study is important to the development of sustainable approaches for lignin depolymerization and biomass conversion.

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
Two molecular copper(II) complexes, (NMe4)2[CuII(L1)] (1) and (NMe4)2[CuII(L2)] (2), ligated by a N2O2 donor set of ligands [L1 = N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide), and L2 = N,N'-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide)] have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. An electrochemical study of 1 in a carbonate buffer at pH 9.2 revealed a reversible copper-centered redox couple at 0.51 V, followed by two ligand-based oxidation events at 1.02 and 1.25 V, and catalytic water oxidation at an onset potential of 1.28 V (overpotential of 580 mV). The electron-rich nature of the ligand likely supports access to high-valent copper species on the CV time scale. The results of the theoretical electronic structure investigation were quite consistent with the observed stepwise ligand-centered oxidation process. A constant potential electrolysis experiment with 1 reveals a catalytic current density of >2.4 mA cm-2 for 3 h. A one-electron-oxidized species of 1, (NMe4)[CuIII(L1)] (3), was isolated and characterized. Complex 2, on the contrary, revealed copper and ligand oxidation peaks at 0.505, 0.90, and 1.06 V, followed by an onset water oxidation (WO) at 1.26 V (overpotential of 560 mV). The findings show that the ligand-based oxidation reactions strongly depend upon the ligand's electronic substitution; however, such effects on the copper-centered redox couple and catalytic WO are minimal. The energetically favorable mechanism has been established through the theoretical calculation of stepwise reaction energies, which nicely explains the experimentally observed electron transfer events. Furthermore, as revealed by the theoretical calculations, the O-O bond formation process occurs through a water nucleophilic attack mechanism with an easily accessible reaction barrier. This study demonstrates the importance of redox-active ligands in the development of molecular late-transition-metal electrocatalysts for WO reactions.

Abstract
Very recently, halide perovskites, especially all-inorganic CsPbBr3, have received ever-increasing attention in photocatalysis owing to their superior optoelectronic properties and thermal stability. However, there is a lack of study on their application in thermocatalysis and photo-thermocatalysis. Herein, we rationally designed a core–shell heterojunction formed by encapsulating CsPbBr3 nanoparticles with the 2D C3N4 (m-CN) layer via a solid-state reaction (denoted as m-CN@CsPbBr3). A series of experiments suggest that abundant adsorption and active sites of CO2 molecules as well as polar surfaces were obtained by utilizing m-CN-coated CsPbBr3, resulting in significant improvement in CO2 capture and charge separation. It is found that the m-CN@CsPbBr3 effectively drives the thermocatalytic reduction of CO2 in H2O vapor. By coupling light into the system, the activity for CO2-to-CO reduction is further improved with a yield up to 42.8 μmol g−1 h−1 at 150 °C, which is 8.4 and 2.3 times those of pure photocatalysis (5.1 μmol g−1 h−1) and thermocatalysis (18.7 μmol g−1 h−1), respectively. This work expands the application of general halide perovskites and provides guidance for using perovskite-based catalysts for photo-assisted thermocatalytic CO2 reduction. A water-stable CsPbBr3 catalyst is designed using core–shell encapsulation of the perovskite nanoparticle by 2D-C3N4 for photo-assisted thermocatalytic CO2 reduction by H2O. The m-CN@CsPbBr3 heterojunction shows surprisingly high CO2-to-CO yield.![]()

Abstract
Water oxidation is still one of the most important challenges to develop efficient artificial photosynthetic devices. In recent decades, the development and study of molecular complexes for water oxidation have allowed insight into the principles governing catalytic activity and the mechanism as well as establish ligand design guidelines to improve performance. However, their durability and long-term stability compromise the performance of molecular-based artificial photosynthetic devices. In this context, heterogenization of molecular water oxidation catalysts on electrode surfaces has emerged as a promising approach for efficient long-lasting water oxidation for artificial photosynthetic devices. This review covers the state of the art of strategies for the heterogenization of molecular water oxidation catalysts onto electrodes for (photo)electrochemical water oxidation. An overview and description of the main binding strategies are provided explaining the advantages of each strategy and their scope. Moreover, selected examples are discussed together with the the differences in activity and stability between the homogeneous and the heterogenized system when reported. Finally, the common design principles for efficient (photo)electrocatalytic performance summarized.

Abstract
The structure of a decanuclear photo- and redox-active dendrimer based on Ru(II) polypyridine subunits, suitable as a light-harvesting multicomponent species for artificial photosynthesis, has been investigated by means of computer modelling. The compound has the general formula [Ru{(μ-dpp)Ru[(μ-dpp)Ru(bpy)2 ]2 }3 ](PF6 )20 (Ru10; bpy=2,2'-bipyridine; dpp=2,3-bis(2'-pyridyl)pyrazine). The stability of possible isomers of each monomer was investigated by performing classical molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum mechanics (QM) simulations on each monomer and comparing the results. The number of stable isomers is reduced to 36 with a prevalence of MER isomerism in the central core, as previously observed by NMR experiments. The simulations on decanuclear dendrimers suggest that the stability of the dendrimer is not linked to the stability of the individual monomers composing the dendrimer but rather governed by the steric constrains originated by the multimetallic assembly. Finally, the self-aggregation of Ru10 and the distribution of the counterions around the complexes is investigated using Molecular Dynamics both in implicit and explicit acetonitrile solution. In representative examples, with nine and four dendrimers, the calculated pair distribution function for the ruthenium centers suggests a self-aggregation mechanism in which the dendrimers are approaching in small blocks and then aggregate all together. Scanning transmission electron microscopy complements the investigation, supporting the formation of different aggregates at various concentrations.

Abstract
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) have been widely used in many fields to exploit their ecofriendly characteristics, from green synthetic procedures to environmentally benign industrial methods. In contrast, their application in emerging solar technologies, where the abundant and clean solar energy is used to properly respond to most important societal needs, is still relatively scarce. This represents a strong limitation since many solar devices make use of polluting or toxic components, thus seriously hampering their eco-friendly nature. Herein, we review the literature, mainly published in the last few years, on the use of DESs in representative solar technologies, from solar plants to last generation photovoltaics, featuring not only their passive role as green solvents, but also their active behavior arising from their peculiar chemical nature. This collection highlights the increasing and valuable role played by DESs in solar technologies, in the fulfillment of green chemistry requirements and for performance enhancement, in particular in terms of long-term temporal stability.

Abstract
In nature, water is oxidized by plastoquinone to evolve O2 and form plastoquinol in Photosystem II (PSII), whereas NADP+ is reduced by plastoquinol to produce NADPH and regenerate plastoquinone in Photosystem I (PSI), using homogeneous molecular photocatalysts. However, water splitting to evolve H2 and O2 in a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio has yet to be achieved using homogeneous molecular photocatalysts, remaining as one of the biggest challenges in science. Herein, we demonstrate overall water splitting to evolve H2 and O2 in a 2:1 ratio using a two liquid membranes system composed of two toluene phases, which are separated by a solvent mixture of water and trifluoroethanol (H2O/TFE, 3:1 v/v), with a glass membrane to combine PSI and PSII molecular models. A PSII model contains plastoquinone analogs [p-benzoquinone derivatives (X-Q)] in toluene and an iron(II) complex as a molecular oxidation catalyst in H2O/TFE (3:1 v/v), which evolves a stoichiometric amount of O2 and forms plastoquinol analogs (X-QH2) under photoirradiation. On the other hand, a PSI model contains nothing in toluene but contains X-QH2, 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr+-Mes) as a photocatalyst, and a cobalt(III) complex as an H2 evolution catalyst in H2O/TFE (3:1 v/v), which evolves a stoichiometric amount of H2 and forms X-Q under photoirradiation. When a PSII model system is combined with a PSI model system with two glass membranes and two liquid membranes, photocatalytic water splitting with homogeneous molecular photocatalysts is achieved to evolve hydrogen and oxygen with the turnover number (TON) of >100.

Abstract
Sunlight-driven CO2 reduction to renewable fuels is a promising strategy towards a closed carbon cycle in a circular economy. For that purpose, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as a versatile light absorber platform that offers many possibilities for surface modification strategies. Considerable attention has been focused on tailoring the local chemical environment of the catalytic site for CO2 reduction with chemical functionalities ranging from amino acids to amines, imidazolium, pyridines, and others. Here we show that dithiols, a class of organic compounds previously unexplored in the context of CO2 reduction, can enhance photocatalytic CO2 reduction on ZnSe QDs. A short dithiol (1,2-ethanedithiol) activates the QD surface for CO2 reduction accompanied by a suppression of the competing H2 evolution reaction. In contrast, in the presence of an immobilized Ni(cyclam) co-catalyst, a longer dithiol (1,6-hexanedithiol) accelerates CO2 reduction. 1H-NMR spectroscopy studies of the dithiol-QD surface interactions reveal a strong affinity of the dithiols for the QD surface accompanied by a solvation sphere governed by hydrophobic interactions. Control experiments with a series of dithiol analogues (monothiol, mercaptoalcohol) render the hydrophobic chemical environment unlikely as the sole contribution of the enhancement of CO2 reduction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide a framework to rationalize the observed dithiol length dependent activity through the analysis of the non-covalent interactions between the dangling thiol moiety and the CO2 reduction intermediates at the catalytic site. This work therefore introduces dithiol capping ligands as a straightforward means to enhance CO2 reduction catalysis on both bare and co-catalyst modified QDs by engineering the particle's chemical environment. ZnSe quantum dots (yellow sphere) are modified with dithiols of various lengths for enhanced visible light-driven CO2 to CO reduction in either the absence or presence of a molecular Ni co-catalyst.![]()
