Abstract
Photocatalysis offers a sustainable strategy for hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) production, which is an essential oxidant and emerging energy carrier in modern chemical industry. The development of polymer-based photocatalysts to produce H2 O2 has great potential but is limited by lower efficiency due to the limitation of light utilization and the low charge separation efficiency. Herein, a series of monodispersed mesoporous resorcinol-formaldehyde resin spheres (MRFS) are reported with a rational designed spatial charge distribution, exhibiting wide light absorption with a solar-to-chemical conversion (SCC) efficiency of 1.1%. Surface photovoltage microscopy (SPVM) measurements unraveled the charge separation in nanospace with uneven distribution of donor (D) and acceptor (A) sites. A density functional theory (DFT) calculation elucidated the origin of photogenerated electrons and holes. Moreover, MRFS demonstrates photocatalytic water oxidation ability. The findings in this work open a new avenue for the development of porous polymeric photocatalysts toward highly efficient solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the most important industrial oxidants. In principle, photocatalytic H2O2 synthesis from oxygen and H2O using sunlight could provide a cleaner alternative route to the current anthraquinone process. Recently, conjugated organic materials have been studied as photocatalysts for solar fuels synthesis because they offer synthetic tunability over a large chemical space. Here, we used high-throughput experiments to discover a linear conjugated polymer, poly(3-4-ethynylphenyl)ethynyl)pyridine (DE7), which exhibits efficient photocatalytic H2O2 production from H2O and O2 under visible light illumination for periods of up to 10 h or so. The apparent quantum yield was 8.7% at 420 nm. Mechanistic investigations showed that the H2O2 was produced via the photoinduced stepwise reduction of O2. At longer photolysis times, however, this catalyst decomposed, suggesting a need to focus the photostability of organic photocatalysts, as well as the initial catalytic production rates.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis in ambient conditions is much less efficient than the solar-to-biomass conversion (SBC) processes in nature. Here, we successfully mimic the NADP-mediated photosynthetic processes in green plants by introducing redox moieties as the electron acceptors in the present conjugated polymeric photocatalyst. The current artificial process substantially promotes the charge carrier separation efficiency and the oxygen reduction efficiency, achieving a photosynthesis rate for converting Earth-abundant water and oxygen in air into hydrogen peroxide as high as 909 μmol⋅g-1⋅h-1 and a solar-to-chemical conversion (SCC) efficiency up to 0.26%. The SCC efficiency is more than two times higher than the average SBC efficiency in nature (0.1%) and the highest value under ambient conditions. This study presents a strategy for efficient SCC in the future.

Abstract
Here, we studied Al or B atom-doped carbon nitride (g-C3N4 and C2N) as catalysts for H2 activation and acetylene hydrogenation using density functional theory calculations. The Al or B could be assembled with the surface N atoms of carbon nitride to form diverse frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs). The results show that Al-N FLPs had lower barriers of H2 activation in comparison with B-N FLPs. The heterolytic H2 dissociation catalyzed by Al-N FLPs led to the formation of Al-H and N-H species. The Al-H species were highly active in the first hydrogenation of acetylene to C2H3*, yielding a mild barrier, while in the second hydrogenation step, the reaction between C2H3 and the H of N-H species caused a relatively high barrier. Electronic structure analysis demonstrated the electron transfer in the heterolytic H2 cleavage and explained the activity differences in various FLPs. The results suggest that Al with the surface N of carbon nitride can act as an FLP to catalyze the H2 activation and acetylene hydrogenation, thus providing a new strategy for the future development of noble metal-free hydrogenation catalysts.

Abstract
Designing highly active nanozymes for various enzymatic reactions remains a challenge in practical applications and fundamental research. In this work, by studying the catalytic functions of natural NADH oxidase (NOX), we devised and synthesized a porous carbon-supported cobalt catalyst (Co/C) to mimic NOX. The Co/C can catalyze dehydrogenation of NADH and transfers electrons to O2 to produce H2O2. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Co/C can catalyze O2 reduction to H2O2 or H2O considerably. The Co/C can also mediate electron transfer from NADH to heme protein cytochrome c, thereby exhibiting cytochrome c reductase-like activity. The Co/C nanoparticles can deplete NADH in cancer cells, induce increase of the reactive oxygen species, lead to impairment of oxidative phosphorylation and decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, and cause ATP production to be damaged. This ‘domino effect’ facilitates the cell to approach apoptosis.

Abstract
The efficient utilization of near-infrared (NIR) light for photocatalytic hydrogen generation is vitally important to both solar hydrogen energy and hydrogen medicine, but remains a challenge at present, owing to the strict requirement of the semiconductor for high NIR responsiveness, narrow bandgap, and suitable redox potentials. Here, an NIR-active carbon/potassium-doped red polymeric carbon nitride (RPCN) is achieved for by using a similar-structure dopant as the melamine (C3 H6 N6 ) precursor with the solid KCl. The homogeneous and high incorporation of carbon and potassium remarkably narrows the bandgap of carbon nitride (1.7 eV) and endows RPCN with a high NIR-photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution from water at the rate of 140 µmol h-1 g-1 under NIR irradiation (700 nm ≤ λ ≤ 780 nm), and the apparent quantum efficiency is high as 0.84% at 700 ± 10 nm (and 13% at 500 ± 10 nm). A proof-of-concept experiment on a tumor-bearing mouse model verifies RPCN as being capable of intratumoral NIR-photocatalytic hydrogen generation and simultaneous glutathione deprivation for safe and high-efficacy drug-free cancer therapy. The results shed light on designing efficient photocatalysts to capture the full spectrum of solar energy, and also pioneer a new pathway to develop NIR photocatalysts for hydrogen therapy of major diseases.

Abstract
The development of efficient and inexpensive materials for light energy conversion is very important for achieving sustainable energy supply and carbon neutrality. Polymeric carbon nitride has become a promising material for light energy conversion due to its advantages of simple preparation and high physical and chemical stability. However, the pristine polymeric carbon nitride only absorbs light with a wavelength of less than 450 nm, and the energy conversion for low-energy photons is very limited. Here, by introducing the pyromellitic dianhydride component to construct an in-plane heterostructure, the conjugated structure of polymeric carbon nitride is successfully expanded. This in-plane carbon nitride-carbon nanoribbon (C3 N4 -C) heterostructure has an ultrawide absorption range from 200 to 2000 nm. Compared with the original material, the photothermal conversion performance of C3 N4 -C is significantly improved under the irradiation of Xe lamp or infrared laser. Furthermore, C3 N4 -C exhibits good potential for synergistic photothermal and chemotherapy. This work provides a simple strategy to construct expanded conjugate structure for improved light absorption and energy conversion materials based on polymeric carbon nitride.

Abstract
Main-group (s- and p-block) metals are generally regarded as catalytically inactive due to the delocalized s/p-band. Herein, we successfully synthesized a p-block antimony single-atom catalyst (Sb SAC) with the Sb-N4 configuration for efficient catalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The obtained Sb SAC exhibits superior ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.86 V and excellent stability, which outperforms most transition-metal (TM, d-block) based SACs and commercial Pt/C. In addition, it presents an excellent power density of 184.6 mW cm-2 and a high specific capacity (803.5 mAh g-1 ) in Zn-air battery. Both experiment and theoretical calculation manifest that the active catalytic sites are positively charged Sb-N4 single-metal sites, which have closed d shells. Density of states (DOS) results unveil the p orbital of the atomically dispersed Sb cation in Sb SAC can easily interact with O2 -p orbital to form hybrid states, facilitating the charge transfer and generating appropriate adsorption strength for oxygen intermediates, lowering the energy barrier and modulating the rate-determining step. This work sheds light on the atomic-level preparing p-block Sb metal catalyst for highly active ORR, and further provides valuable guidelines for the rational design of other main-group-metal SACs.

Abstract
Polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) as a class of two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2 e- ORR) photocatalyst has attracted much attention for H2 O2 production. However, the low activity and inferior selectivity of 2 e- ORR greatly restrict the H2 O2 production efficiency. Herein, we develop a new strategy to synthesize hydrophilic, fragmented PCN photocatalyst by the terminating polymerization (TP-PCN) effect of iodide ions. The obtained TP-PCN with abundant edge active sites (AEASs), which can form quasi-homogeneous photocatalytic system, exhibits superior H2 O2 generation rate (3265.4 μM h-1 ), far surpassing PCN and other PCN-based photocatalysts. DFT calculations further indicate that TP-PCN is more favorable for electron transiting from β spin-orbital to the π* orbitals of O2 , which optimizes O2 activation and reduces the energy barrier of H2 O2 formation. This work provides a new concept for designing functional photocatalysts and understanding the mechanism of O2 activation in ORR for H2 O2 production.

Abstract
The activity of heterogeneous photocatalytic H2 O2 activation in Fenton-like processes is closely related to the local electron density of reaction centre atoms. However, the recombination of electron-hole pairs arising from random charge transfer greatly restricts the oriented electron delivery to active center. Here we show a defect engineered iron single atom photocatalyst (Fe1 -Nv /CN, single Fe atoms dispersed on carbon nitride with abundant nitrogen vacancies) for the activation of H2 O2 under visible light irradiation. Based on DFT calculations and transient absorption spectroscopy results, the engineered nitrogen vacancies serve as the electron trap sites, which can directionally drive the electrons to concentrate on Fe atoms. The formation of highly concentrated electrons density at Fe sites significantly improves the H2 O2 conversion efficiency. Therefore, the optimized single atom catalyst exhibiting a higher ciprofloxacin degradation activity, which was up to 18 times that of pristine CN.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) is an excellent active species for the selective degradation of organic pollutions. However, it is difficult to achieve high efficiency and selectivity for the generation of 1 O2 . In this work, we develop a graphitic carbon nitride supported Fe single-atoms catalyst (Fe1 /CN) containing highly uniform Fe-N4 active sites with a high Fe loading of 11.2 wt %. The Fe1 /CN achieves generation of 100 % 1 O2 by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS), which shows an ultrahigh p-chlorophenol degradation efficiency. Density functional theory calculations results demonstrate that in contrast to Co and Ni single-atom sites, the Fe-N4 sites in Fe1 /CN adsorb the terminal O of PMS, which can facilitate the oxidization of PMS to form SO5 .- , and thereafter efficiently generate 1 O2 with 100 % selectivity. In addition, the Fe1 /CN exhibits strong resistance to inorganic ions, natural organic matter, and pH value during the degradation of organic pollutants in the presence of PMS. This work develops a novel catalyst for the 100 % selective production of 1 O2 for highly selective and efficient degradation of pollutants.
