Silicon photocathode functionalized with osmium complex catalyst for selective catalytic conversion of CO 2 to methane. Nat Commun 2024; 15:5882.

Abstract
Solar-driven CO2 reduction to yield high-value chemicals presents an appealing avenue for combating climate change, yet achieving selective production of specific products remains a significant challenge. We showcase two osmium complexes, przpOs, and trzpOs, as CO2 reduction catalysts for selective CO2-to-methane conversion. Kinetically, the przpOs and trzpOs exhibit high CO2 reduction catalytic rate constants of 0.544 and 6.41 s-1, respectively. Under AM1.5 G irradiation, the optimal Si/TiO2/trzpOs have CH4 as the main product and >90% Faradaic efficiency, reaching -14.11 mA cm-2 photocurrent density at 0.0 VRHE. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the N atoms on the bipyrazole and triazole ligands effectively stabilize the CO2-adduct intermediates, which tend to be further hydrogenated to produce CH4, leading to their ultrahigh CO2-to-CH4 selectivity. These results are comparable to cutting-edge Si-based photocathodes for CO2 reduction, revealing a vast research potential in employing molecular catalysts for the photoelectrochemical conversion of CO2 to methane.

Abstract
Cobalt carbide (Co2C) possesses high catalytic efficiency Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), while the products selectivity appears sensitive to crystallography geometry. Since the Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) distribution in FTS is broken through fabricating facetted Co2C nanocrystals, yet the underlying mechanism of Co2C crystallization remains unclarified suffering from sophisticated catalyst composition involving promoter agents. Herein, the synthesis of high-purity single-crystal nanoprisms (Co2C-p) for highly efficient FTS is reported to lower olefins. Through comprehensive microstructure analysis, e.g., high-resolution TEM, in situ TEM and electron diffraction, as well as finite element simulation of gas flow field, for the first time the full roadmap of forming catalytic active cobalt carbides is disclosed, starting from reduction of Co3O4 precursor to CoO intermediate, then carburization into Co2C-s and subsequent ripening growth into Co2C-p. This gas-induced engineering of crystal phase provides a new synthesis strategy, with many new possibilities for precise design of metal-based catalyst for diverse catalytic applications.

Abstract
The designed synthesis of a crystalline azulene-based covalent organic framework (COF-Azu-TP) is presented and its photothermal property is investigated. Azulene, a distinctive 5-7 fused ring non-benzenoid aromatic compound with a large intramolecular dipole moment and unique photophysical characteristics, is introduced as the key feature in COF-Azu-TP. The incorporation of azulene moiety imparts COF-Azu-TP with broad-spectrum light absorption capability and interlayer dipole interactions, which makes COF-Azu-TP a highly efficient photothermal conversion material. Its polyurethane (PU) composite exhibits a solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency (97.2%) and displays a water evaporation rate (1.43 kg m-2 h-1) under one sun irradiation, even at a very low dosage of COF-Azu-TP (2.2 wt%). Furthermore, COF-Azu-TP is utilized as a filler in a polylactic acid (PLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL) composited shape memory material, enabling rapid shape recovery under laser stimulation. A comparison study with a naphthalene-based COF isomer further emphasizes the crucial role of azulene in enhancing photothermal conversion efficiency. This study demonstrates the significance of incorporating specific building blocks into COFs for the development of functional porous materials with enhanced properties, paving the way for future applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a member of greenhouse gases, contributes significantly to maintaining a tolerable environment for all living species. However, with the development of modern society and the utilization of fossil fuels, the concentration of atmospheric CO2 has increased to 400 ppm, resulting in a serious greenhouse effect. Thus, converting CO2 into valuable chemicals is highly desired, especially with renewable solar energy, which shows great potential with the manner of photothermal catalysis. In this review, recent advancements in photothermal CO2 conversion are discussed, including the design of catalysts, analysis of mechanisms, engineering of reactors, and the corresponding techno-economic analysis. A guideline for future investigation and the anthropogenic carbon cycle are provided.

Abstract
Over the past decades, CO2 greenhouse emission has been considerably increased, causing global warming and climate change. Indeed, converting CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels is a desired option to resolve issues caused by its continuous emission into the atmosphere. Nevertheless, CO2 conversion has been hampered by the ultrahigh dissociation energy of C=O bonds, which makes it thermodynamically and kinetically challenging. From this prospect, photocatalytic approaches appear promising for CO2 reduction in terms of their efficiency compared to other traditional technologies. Thus, many efforts have been made in the designing of photocatalysts with asymmetric sites and oxygen vacancies, which can break the charge distribution balance of CO2 molecule, reduce hydrogenation energy barrier and accelerate CO2 conversion into chemicals and fuels. Here, we review the recent advances in CO2 hydrogenation to C1 and C2 products utilizing photocatalysis processes. We also pin down the key factors or parameters influencing the generation of C2 products during CO2 hydrogenation. In addition, the current status of CO2 reduction is summarized, projecting the future direction for CO2 conversion by photocatalysis processes.

Abstract
Reversible solid-state hydrogen storage of magnesium hydride, traditionally driven by external heating, is constrained by massive energy input and low systematic energy density. Herein, a single phase of Mg2Ni(Cu) alloy is designed via atomic reconstruction to achieve the ideal integration of photothermal and catalytic effects for stable solar-driven hydrogen storage of MgH2. With the intra/inter-band transitions of Mg2Ni(Cu) and its hydrogenated state, over 85% absorption in the entire spectrum is achieved, resulting in the temperature up to 261.8 °C under 2.6 W cm-2. Moreover, the hydrogen storage reaction of Mg2Ni(Cu) is thermodynamically and kinetically favored, and the imbalanced distribution of the light-induced hot electrons within CuNi and Mg2Ni(Cu) facilitates the weakening of Mg-H bonds of MgH2, enhancing the "hydrogen pump" effect of Mg2Ni(Cu)/Mg2Ni(Cu)H4. The reversible generation of Mg2Ni(Cu) upon repeated dehydrogenation process enables the continuous integration of photothermal and catalytic roles stably, ensuring the direct action of localized heat on the catalytic sites without any heat loss, thereby achieving a 6.1 wt.% H2 reversible capacity with 95% retention under 3.5 W cm-2.

Abstract
Metal-semiconductor heterostructured catalysts have attracted great attention because of their unique interfacial characteristics and superior catalytic performance. Exsolution of nanoparticles is one of the effective and simple ways for in-situ growth of metal nanoparticles embedded in oxide surfaces and their favorable dispersion and stability. However, both high-temperature and a reducing atmosphere are required simultaneously in conventional exsolution, which is time-consuming and costly, and particles often agglomerate during the process. In this work, Ca0.9Ti0.8Ni0.1Fe0.1O3-δ (CTNF) is exposed to dielectric blocking discharge (DBD) plasma at room temperature to fabricate alloying FeNi3 nanoparticles from CTNF perovskite. FeNi3-CTNF has outstanding catalytic activity for photothermal reverse water gas shift reaction (RWGS). At 350 °C under full-spectrum irradiation, the carbon monoxide (CO) yield of FeNi3-CTNF (10.78 mmol g-1 h-1) is 11 times that of pure CaTiO3(CTO), and the CO selectivity is 98.9%. This superior catalytic activity is attributed to the narrow band gap, photogenerated electron migration to alloy particles, and abundant surface oxygen vacancies. The carbene pathway reaction is also investigated through in-situ Raman spectroscopy. The present work presents a straightforward method for the exsolution of nanoalloys in metal-semiconductor heterostructures for photothermal CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Efficient storage and separation of holes and electrons pose significant challenges for catalytic reactions, particularly in the context of single-phase catalysis. Herein, V2 C MXene, with its intrinsic polarized electric field, successfully overcomes this obstacle. To enhance hole storage, a multistep etching process is employed under reducing conditions to control the content of surface termination groups, thus exposing more defective active sites. The intrinsically polarized electric field confines holes to the surface of the layer and free electrons within the layer, leading to a lag in e- release compared to h+ . The quantities of stored holes and electrons are measured to be 18.13 µmol g-1 and 106.37 µmol g-1 , respectively. Under dark, V2 C demonstrates excellent and stable dark-catalytic performance, degrading 57.91% of tetracycline (TC 40 mg L-1 ) and removing 23% of total organic carbon (TOC) after 140 min. In simulated sunlight and near-infrared light, the corresponding degradation rates reach 72.24% and 79.54%, with corresponding TOC removal rates of 49% and 48%, respectively. The hole and electron induced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects contribute to a long-lasting and enhanced broad-spectrum mineralization of V2 C MXene. This study provides valuable insights into the research and application of all-weather MXene energy storage catalytic materials.

Abstract
The rapid recombination of interfacial charges is considered to be the main obstacle limiting the photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Thus, it is a challenge to research an accurate and stable charge transfer control strategy. MIL-53 (Al)-S/Cd0.3Zn0.7S (MAS/CZS-0.3) photocatalysts with chemically bonded interfaces were constructed by in-situ electrostatic assembly of sulfur defect Cd0.3Zn0.7S (CZS-0.3) on the surface of MIL-53 (Al) (MAW), which enhanced interfacial coupling and accelerated electron transfer efficiency. An adjustable proportion of syngas (H2/CO) was prepared by photothermal catalytic CO2 reduction at micro-interface. and the optimal yield of CO (66.10 μmol∙g-1∙h-1) and H2 (71.0 μmol∙g-1∙h-1) was realized by the MAS/CZS-0.3 photocatalyst. The improved activity was due to the photogenerated electrons migrated from CZS-0.3 to the adsorption active sites of MAS, which strengthened the adsorption and activation of CO2 on MAS. The photothermal catalytic CO2 reduction to CO follows the pathway of CO2→*COOH → CO and CO2→*HCO3-→CO. This work provided a reference for the research, characterization, and application of in-situ anchoring of metal organic frameworks in photothermal catalytic CO2 reduction, and provided a green path for the supply of Syngas in industry.

Non-Interacting Ni and Fe Dual-Atom Pair Sites in N-Doped Carbon Catalysts for Efficient Concentrating Solar-Driven Photothermal CO 2 Reduction. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202313868. [PMID: 37899658 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023]
Abstract
Solar-to-chemical energy conversion under weak solar irradiation is generally difficult to meet the heat demand of CO2 reduction. Herein, a new concentrated solar-driven photothermal system coupling a dual-metal single-atom catalyst (DSAC) with adjacent Ni-N4 and Fe-N4 pair sites is designed for boosting gas-solid CO2 reduction with H2 O under simulated solar irradiation, even under ambient sunlight. As expected, the (Ni, Fe)-N-C DSAC exhibits a superior photothermal catalytic performance for CO2 reduction to CO (86.16 μmol g-1 h-1 ), CH4 (135.35 μmol g-1 h-1 ) and CH3 OH (59.81 μmol g-1 h-1 ), which are equivalent to 1.70-fold, 1.27-fold and 1.23-fold higher than those of the Fe-N-C catalyst, respectively. Based on theoretical simulations, the Fermi level and d-band center of Fe atom is efficiently regulated in non-interacting Ni and Fe dual-atom pair sites with electronic interaction through electron orbital hybridization on (Ni, Fe)-N-C DSAC. Crucially, the distance between adjacent Ni and Fe atoms of the Ni-N-N-Fe configuration means that the additional Ni atom as a new active site contributes to the main *COOH and *HCO3 dissociation to optimize the corresponding energy barriers in the reaction process, leading to specific dual reaction pathways (COOH and HCO3 pathways) for solar-driven photothermal CO2 reduction to initial CO production.

Abstract
Catalytic CO2 hydrogenation is an effective approach to producing clean fuels, but this process is expensive, in addition to the low efficiency of catalysts. Thus, photothermal CO2 hydrogenation can effectively utilize solar energy for CH4 production. Metal-organic framework (MOF) derived materials with a controlled structure and morphology are promising to give a high number of active sites and photostability in thermal catalytic reactions. For the first time, a novel heterostructure catalyst was synthesized using a facile approach to in situ grow MOF-derived 0D Co3O4 over 1D TiO2 nanowires (NWs). The original 3D dodecahedral structure of the MOF is engineered into novel 0D Co3O4 nanospheres, which were uniformly embedded over Ni-dispersed 1D TiO2 NWs. In situ prepared 10Ni-7Co3O4@TiO2 NWs-I achieved an excellent photothermal CH4 evolution rate of 8.28 mmol/h at 250 °C under low-intensity visible light, whereas UV light treatment further increased activity by 1.2-fold. UV irradiations promoted high CH4 production while improving the susceptibility of the catalyst to visible light irradiation. The photothermal effect is prominent at lower temperatures, due to the harmonization of both solar and thermal energy. By paralleling with mechanically assembled 10Ni-7Co3O4/TiO2 NWs-M, the catalytic performance of the in situ approach is far superior, attributing to the morphological transformation of 0D Co3O4, which induced intimate interfacial interactions, formation of oxygen vacancies and boosted photo-to-thermal effects. The co-existence of metallic/metal oxide Ni-Co provided beneficial synergies, enhanced photo-to-thermal effects, and improved charge transfer kinetics of the composite. This work uncovers a facile approach to engineering the morphology of MOF derivatives for efficient photothermal CO2 methanation.

Abstract
Photothermal catalysis, which combines light promotion and thermal activation, is a promising approach for converting CO2 into fuels. However, the development of photothermal catalysts with effective light-to-heat conversion, strong charge transfer ability, and suitable active sites remains a challenge. Herein, the photothermal effect- and interfacial N-Ni/Ta-O bond-modulated heterostructure composed of oxygen vacancy-rich NiOx and Ta3N5 was rationally fabricated for efficient photothermal catalytic CO2 reduction. Beyond the charge separation capability conferred by the NiOx/Ta3N5 heterojunction, we observed that the N-Ni and Ta-O bonds linking NiOx and Ta3N5 form a spatial charge transfer channel, which enhances the interfacial electron transfer. Additionally, the presence of surface oxygen vacancies in NiOx induced nonradiative relaxation, resulting in a pronounced photothermal effect that locally heated the catalyst and accelerated the reaction kinetically. Leveraging these favorable factors, the NiOx/Ta3N5 hybrids exhibit remarkably elevated activity (≈32.3 μmol·g-1·h-1) in the conversion of CO2 to CH4 with near-unity selectivity, surpassing the performance of bare Ta3N5 by over 14 times. This study unveils the synergistic effect of photothermal and interfacial chemical bonds in the photothermal-photocatalytic heterojunction system, offering a novel approach to enhance the reaction kinetics of various catalysts.

Abstract
Photothermal regulation concerning solar harvesting and repelling has recently attracted significant interest due to the fast-growing research focus in the areas of solar heating for evaporation, photocatalysis, motion, and electricity generation, as well as passive cooling for cooling textiles and smart buildings. The parallel development of photothermal regulation strategies through both material and system designs has further improved the overall solar utilization efficiency for heating/cooling. In this review, we will review the latest progress in photothermal regulation, including solar heating and passive cooling, and their manipulating strategies. The underlying mechanisms and criteria of highly efficient photothermal regulation in terms of optical absorption/reflection, thermal conversion, transfer, and emission properties corresponding to the extensive catalog of nanostructured materials are discussed. The rational material and structural designs with spectral selectivity for improving the photothermal regulation performance are then highlighted. We finally present the recent significant developments of applications of photothermal regulation in clean energy and environmental areas and give a brief perspective on the current challenges and future development of controlled solar energy utilization.

Abstract
CO2 hydrogenation via the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction is a promising strategy for CO2 utilization while constructing Ni-based catalysts with high catalytic activity and perfect CO selectivity remains a great challenging. Here, we demonstrate that the product selectivity for CO2 hydrogenation can be significantly tuned from CH4 to CO by phosphating of SiO2-supported Ni catalysts due to the geometric effect. Interestingly, nickel phosphide catalysts with different crystalline phases (Ni12P5 and Ni2P) differ sharply in CO2 conversion, and Ni12P5 is remarkably more active. Furthermore, we developed a facile strategy to confine small Ni12P5 nanoparticles in mesoporous SiO2 channels (Ni12P5@SBA-15). Enhanced activity is exhibited on Ni12P5@SBA-15, ascribed to the highly effective confinement effect. The in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations unveil that catalytic CO2 hydrogenation follows a direct CO2 dissociation route with adsorbed CO as the key intermediate. Notably, strong multibonded CO (threefold and bridge-bonded CO) is feasibly formed on the Ni catalyst accounting for CH4 as the dominant product whereas only weak linearly bonded CO exists on nickel phosphide catalysts resulting in almost 100% CO selectivity. The present results indicate that Ni12P5@SBA-15 combining the geometric effect and the confinement effect can achieve near-unity CO selectivity and enhanced activity for CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
Photothermal CO2 hydrogenation to high-value-added chemicals and fuels is an appealing approach to alleviate energy and environmental concerns. However, it still relies on the development of earth-abundant, efficient, and durable catalysts. Here, the design of N-doped carbon-coated Co nanoparticles (NPs), as a photothermal catalyst, synthesized through a two-step pyrolysis of Co-based ZIF-67 precursor, is reported. Consequently, the catalyst exhibits remarkable activity and stability for photothermal CO2 hydrogenation to CO with a 0.75 mol gcat -1 h-1 CO production rate under the full spectrum of light illumination. The high activity and durability of these Co NPs are mainly attributed to the synergy of the attuned size of Co NPs, the thickness of carbon layers, and the N doping species. Impressively, the experimental characterizations and theoretical simulations show that such a simple N-doped carbon coating strategy can effectively facilitate the desorption of generated CO and activation of reactants due to the strong photothermal effect. This work provides a simple and efficient route for the preparation of highly active and durable nonprecious metal catalysts for promising photothermal catalytic reactions.

Abstract
The emission of CO2 from fossil fuels is the largest driver of global climate change. To realize the target of a carbon-neutrality by 2050, CO2 capture and utilization is crucial. The efficient conversion of CO2 to C5+ gasoline and aromatics remains elusive mainly due to CO2 thermodynamic stability and the high energy barrier of the C-C coupling step. Herein, advances in mechanistic understanding via Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS), density functional theory (DFT), and microkinetic modeling are discussed. It further emphasizes the power of machine learning (ML) to accelerate the search for optimal catalysts. A significant effort has been invested into this field of research with volumes of experimental and characterization data, this study discusses how they can be used as input features for machine learning prediction in a bid to better understand catalytic properties capable of accelerating breakthroughs in the process.

Abstract
As an energy-saving and green method, solar-driven dry reforming of methane (DRM) is expected to introduce new activation processes and prevent sintering and coking of the catalysts. However, it still lacks an efficient way to coordinate the regulation of activation of reactants and lattice oxygen migration. In this study, Rh/LaNiO3 is designed as a highly efficient photothermal catalyst for solar-driven DRM, which performs production rates of 452.3 mmol h-1 gRh -1 for H2 and 527.6 mmol h-1 gRh -1 for CO2 under a light intensity of 1.5 W cm-2 , with an excellent stability. Moreover, a remarkable light-to-chemical energy efficiency (LTCEE) of 10.72% is achieved under a light intensity of 3.5 W cm-2 . The characterizations of surface electronic and chemical properties and theoretical analysis demonstrate that strong adsorption for CH4 and CO2 , light-induced metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT) process and high oxygen mobility together bring Rh/LaNiO3 excellent performance for solar-driven DRM.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2304604.

Abstract
Selective conversion of ethane (C2 H6 ) to high-value-added chemicals is a very important chemical process, yet it remains challenging owing to the difficulty of ethane activation. Here, a NiTi-layered double hydroxide (NiTi-LDH) photocatalyst is reported for oxidative coupling of ethane to n-butane (n-C4 H10 ) by using CO2 as an oxidant. Remarkably, the as-prepared NiTi-LDH exhibits a high selectivity for n-C4 H10 (92.35%) with a production rate of 62.06 µmol g-1 h-1 when the feed gas (CO2 /C2 H6 ) ratio is 2:8. The X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and photoelectron characterizations demonstrate that NiTi-LDH possesses rich vacancies and high electron-hole separation efficiency, which can promote the coupling of C2 H6 to n-C4 H10 . More importantly, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that ethane is first activated on the oxygen vacancies of the catalyst surface, and the C─C coupling pathway is more favorable than the C─H cleavage to C2 H4 or CH4 , resulting in the high production rate and selectivity for n-C4 H10 .

Abstract
Sunlight-driven photocatalytic CO2 reduction provides intriguing opportunities for addressing the energy and environmental crises faced by humans. The rational combination of plasmonic antennas and active transition metal-based catalysts, known as "antenna-reactor" (AR) nanostructures, allows the simultaneous optimization of optical and catalytic performances of photocatalysts, and thus holds great promise for CO2 photocatalysis. Such design combines the favorable absorption, radiative, and photochemical properties of the plasmonic components with the great catalytic potentials and conductivities of the reactor components. In this review, recent developments of photocatalysts based on plasmonic AR systems for various gas-phase CO2 reduction reactions with emphasis on the electronic structure of plasmonic and catalytic metals, plasmon-driven catalytic pathways, and the role of AR complex in photocatalytic processes are summarized. Perspectives in terms of challenges and future research in this area are also highlighted.

Abstract
The widespread use of polyolefin plastics in modern societies generates huge amounts of plastic waste. With a view toward sustainability, researchers are now seeking novel and low-cost strategies for recycling and valorizing polyolefin plastics. Herein, we report the successful development of a photothermal catalytic recycling system for transforming polyolefin plastics into liquid/waxy fuels under concentrated sunlight or xenon lamp irradiation. Photothermal heating of a Ru/TiO2 catalyst to 200-300 °C in the presence of polyolefin plastics results in intimate catalyst-plastic contact and controllable hydrogenolysis of C-C and C-H bonds in the polymer chains (mediated by Ru sites). By optimizing the reaction temperature and pressure, the complete conversion of waste polyolefins into valuable liquid fuels (86% gasoline- and diesel-range hydrocarbons, C5-C21) is possible in short periods (3 h). This work demonstrates a simple and efficient strategy for recycling waste polyolefin plastics using abundant solar energy.

Abstract
In recent years, the combination of both thermal and photochemical contributions has provided interesting opportunities for solar upgrading of catalytic processes. Photothermal catalysis works at the interface between purely photochemical processes, which involve the direct conversion of photon energy into chemical energy, and classical thermal catalysis, in which the catalyst is activated by temperature. Thus, photothermal catalysis acts in two different ways on the energy path of the reaction. This combined catalysis, of which the fundamental principles will be reviewed here, is particularly promising for the activation of small reactive molecules at moderate temperatures compared to thermal catalysis and with higher reaction rates than those attained in photocatalysis, and it has gained a great deal of attention in the last years. Among the different applications of photothermal catalysis, CO2 conversion is probably the most studied, although reaction mechanisms and photonic-thermal synergy pathways are still quite unclear and, from the reaction route point of view, it can be said that photothermal-catalytic CO2 reduction processes are still in their infancy. This article intends to provide an overview of the principles underpinning photothermal catalysis and its application to the conversion of CO2 into useful molecules, with application essentially as fuels but also as chemical building blocks. The most relevant specific cases published to date will be also reviewed from the viewpoint of selectivity towards the most frequent target products.

Abstract
As a straightforward way to fix solar energy, photo/photothermal catalysis with semiconductor provides a promising way to settle the energy shortage and environmental crisis in many fields, especially in clean energy conversion. Topologically porous heterostructures (TPHs), featured with well-defined pores and mainly composed by the derivatives of some precursors with specific morphology, are a major part of hierarchical materials in photo/photothermal catalysis and provide a versatile platform to construct efficient photocatalysts for their enhanced light absorption, accelerated charges transfer, improved stability, and promoted mass transportation. Therefore, a comprehensive and timely review on the advantages and recent applications of the TPHs is of great importance to forecast the potential applications and research trend in the future. This review initially demonstrates the advantages of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis. Then the universal classifications and design strategies of TPHs are emphasized. Besides, the applications and mechanisms of photo/photothermal catalysis in hydrogen evolution from water splitting and COx hydrogenation over TPHs are carefully reviewed and highlighted. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis are also critically discussed.

Abstract
MXene materials have found emerging applications as catalysts for chemical reactions due to their intriguing physical and chemical applications. In particular, their broad light response and strong photothermal conversion capabilities are likely to render MXenes promising candidates for photothermal catalysis, which is drawing increasing attention in both academic research and industrial applications. MXenes are likely to satisfy all three criteria of a desirable photothermal catalyst: strong light absorption, effective heat management, and versatile surface reactivity. However, their specific functionalities are largely dependent on their structure and composition, which makes understandings of the structure–function relationship of crucial significance. In this review, we mainly focus on the recent progress of MXene–based photothermal catalysts, emphasizing the functionalities and potential applications of MXene materials in fields of photothermal catalysis, and provide insights on design principles of highly efficient MXene–based photothermal catalysts from the atomic scale. This review provides a relatively thorough understanding of MXene–based materials for photothermal catalysis, as well as an in–depth investigation of emerging high-prospect applications in photothermal catalysis.

Abstract
Converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added fuels or chemicals through photothermal catalytic CO2 hydrogenation is a promising approach to alleviate the energy shortage and global warming. Understanding the nanostructured material strategies in the photothermal catalytic CO2 hydrogenation process is vital for designing photothermal devices and catalysts and maximizing the photothermal CO2 hydrogenation performance. In this Perspective, we first describe several essential nanomaterial design concepts to enhance sunlight absorption and utilization in photothermal CO2 hydrogenation. Subsequently, we review the latest progress in photothermal CO2 hydrogenation into C1 (e.g., CO, CH4, and CH3OH) and multicarbon hydrocarbon (C2+) products. Finally, the relevant challenges and opportunities in this exciting research realm are discussed. This perspective provides a comprehensive understanding for the light-heat synergy over nanomaterials and instruction for rational photothermal catalyst design for CO2 utilization.

Abstract
Non-noble metal catalysts now play a key role in promoting efficiently and economically catalytic reduction of CO2 into clean energy, which is an important strategy to ameliorate global warming and resource shortage issues. Here, a non-noble bimetallic catalyst of CoFe/Fe3 O4 nanoparticles is successfully designed with a core-shell structure that is well dispersed on the defect-rich carbon substrate for the hydrogenation of CO2 under mild conditions. The catalysts exhibit a high CO2 conversion activity with the rate of 30% and CO selectivity of 99%, and extremely robust stability without performance decay over 90 h in the reverse water gas shift reaction process. Notably, it is found that the reversible exsolution/dissolution of cobalt in the Fe3 O4 shell will lead to a dynamic and reversible deactivation/regeneration of the catalysts, accompanying by shell thickness breathing during the repeated cycles, via atomic structure study of the catalysts at different reaction stages. Combined with density functional theory calculations, the catalytic activity reversible regeneration mechanism is proposed. This work reveals the structure-property relationship for rational structure design of the advanced non-noble metallic catalyst materials with much improved performance.

Abstract
The lack of safe and efficient hydrogen storage is a major bottleneck for large-scale application of hydrogen energy. Reversible hydrogen storage of light-weight metal hydrides with high theoretical gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen density is one ideal solution but requires extremely high operating temperature with large energy input. Herein, taking MgH2 as an example, a concept is demonstrated to achieve solar-driven reversible hydrogen storage of metal hydrides via coupling the photothermal effect and catalytic role of Cu nanoparticles uniformly distributed on the surface of MXene nanosheets (Cu@MXene). The photothermal effect of Cu@MXene, coupled with the "heat isolator" role of MgH2 indued by its poor thermal conductivity, effectively elevates the temperature of MgH2 upon solar irradiation. The "hydrogen pump" effect of Ti and TiHx species that are in situ formed on the surface of MXene from the reduction of MgH2 , on the other hand, plays a catalytic role in effectively alleviating the kinetic barrier and hence decreasing the operating temperature required for reversible hydrogen adsorption and desorption of MgH2 . Based on the combination of photothermal and catalytic effect of Cu@MXene, a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of 5.9 wt% is achieved for MgH2 after 30 cycles using solar irradiation as the only energy source.

Abstract
Driving metal-cluster-catalyzed high-temperature chemical reactions by sunlight holds promise for the development of negative-carbon-footprint industrial catalysis, which has yet often been hindered by the poor ability of metal clusters to harvest and utilize the full spectrum of solar energy. Here, we report the preparation of Mo2TiC2 MXene-supported Ru clusters (Ru/Mo2TiC2) with pronounced broadband sunlight absorption ability and high sintering resistance. Under illumination of focused sunlight, Ru/Mo2TiC2 can catalyze the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction to produce carbon monoxide from the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and renewable hydrogen with enhanced activity, selectivity, and stability compared to their nanoparticle counterparts. Notably, the CO production rate of MXene-supported Ru clusters reached 4.0 mol·gRu-1·h-1, which is among the best reported so far for photothermal RWGS catalysts. Detailed studies suggest that the production of methane is kinetically inhibited by the rapid desorption of CO from the surface of the Ru clusters.

Abstract
Truncated octahedron Cu2O (TOC) has attracted more attention for its suitable band gap and high carrier separation efficiency due to introduction of the facet heterojunction, but its practical drawback is still the instability caused by the irreversible disproportionation reaction (Cu2O → Cu + CuO). Here, we design and fabricate the TOC/Cu-MOF (MOF: metal-organic framework) double-heterojunction structures with different Cu-MOF loadings. The introduced heterojunction between TOC and Cu-MOF not only produces a stable interface Cux+ bonding structure with the electronic states localized within the average collisional diameter of electrons 1.72 nm for TOC/2.1 wt %Cu-MOF as the active sites, but also promotes the surface energy level difference between the (100) and (111) facet heterojunctions. Meanwhile, the bonded Cu-MOF with a narrow bandgap effectively consumes holes by recombination with the photoexcited electrons from Cu-MOF itself. In our experiments, the TOC/Cu-MOF double heterostructure with a loading amount of 2.1 wt % Cu-MOF shows an optimal photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. The CO evolution rate reaches 23.01 μmol g-1 h-1, which is about 2.01 and 4.47 times larger than those of octahedral and hexahedral Cu2O/Cu-MOF, respectively, and an excellent photostability is shown for four cycles with each cycle lasting for 4 h. Such a double heterostructure provides insight into highly efficient electron transfer and photostability in Cu2O-related composite materials.

Abstract
In efforts to achieve a sustainable development goal, the utilization of CO2 to generate renewable fuels is promising, as it is a sustainable technology that provides affordable and clean energy. To realize the production of renewable green fuels, a proficient and low-cost technology is required. Using photo/thermal catalytic process, the goal of sustainable CO2 hydrogenation can be achieved. There have been several types of catalysts under exploration, however, they are expensive with limited availability. In the current development, green materials such as mineral clays are emerging as cocatalyst/supports for CO2 hydrogenation. Clays are bestowed with various beneficial properties such as a large surface area, high porosity, abundant basic sites, excellent thermal stability and chemical corrosion resistance. Clays are promising materials that can drastically reduce the cost in catalyst preparation, partially fulfil the energy demand and reduce greenhouse gas emission. This review aims to focus on the various types of clays and their applications in the field of photo/thermal CO2 hydrogenation to renewable fuels. Firstly, the classifications of clays are provided, whereby they can be differentiated based on their silicate layers, namely 1:1 and 2:1 type clay and their properties are thoroughly discussed to provide advantages and applications. The applications of various clays such as kaolinite, halloysite, montmorillonite, attapulgite, saponite and volkonskoite for CO2 hydrogenation reactions are systematically discoursed. In addition, various approaches to improve the capability of raw clays as catalyst support are critically discussed, which include thermal treatment, exfoliation, acid-leaching and pillaring approaches. A critical discussion regarding the engineering aspects to further enhance clay-based catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation are further disclosed. In short, clays are freely available materials that can be found in abundance. However, there are many more different types of natural green clays that have not been studied and explored in various energy applications.

Abstract
Introducing new materials with low cost and superior solar harvesting efficiency requires urgent attention to solve energy and environmental challenges. Titanium carbide (Ti3C2T x ) MXene, a 2D layered material, is a promising solution to solve the issues of existing materials due to their promising conductivity with low cost to function as a cocatalyst/support. On the other hand, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging materials due to their high surface area and semiconducting characteristics. Therefore, coupling them would be promising to form composites with higher solar harvesting efficiency. Thus, the main objective of this work to disclose recent development in Ti3C2T x -based MOF nanocomposites for energy conversion applications to produce renewable fuels. MOFs can generate photoinduced electron/hole pairs, followed by transfer of electrons to MXenes through Schottky junctions for photoredox reactions. Currently, the principles, fundamentals, and mechanism of photocatalytic systems with construction of Schottky junctions are critically discussed. Then the basics of MOFs are discussed thoroughly in terms of their physical properties, morphologies, optical properties, and derivatives. The synthesis of Ti3C2T x MXenes and their composites with the formation of surface functionals is systematically illustrated. Next, critical discussions are conducted on design considerations and strategies to engineer the morphology of Ti3C2T x MXenes and MOFs. The interfacial/heterojunction modification strategies of Ti3C2T x MXenes and MOFs are then deeply discussed to understand the roles of both materials. Following that, the applications of MXene-mediated MOF nanotextures in view of CO2 reduction and water splitting for solar fuel production are critically analyzed. Finally, the challenges and a perspective toward the future research of MXene-based MOF composites are disclosed.

Abstract
Treating hazardous waste Ni from the electroplating industry is mandated world-wide, is exceptionally expensive, and carries a very high CO2 footprint. Rather than regarding Ni as a disposable waste, the chemicals and petrochemicals industries could instead consider it a huge resource. In the work described herein, we present a strategy for upcycling waste Ni from electroplating wastewater into a photothermal catalyst for converting CO2 to CO. Specifically, magnetic nanoparticles encapsulated in amine functionalized porous SiO2, is demonstrated to efficiently scavenge Ni from electroplating wastewater for utilization in photothermal CO2 catalysis. The core-shell catalyst architecture produces CO at a rate of 1.9 mol·gNi-1·h-1 (44.1 mmol·gcat-1·h-1), a selectivity close to 100%, and notable long-term stability. This strategy of upcycling metal waste into functional, catalytic materials offers a multi-pronged approach for clean and renewable energy technologies.

Abstract
It is of emerging interest to convert CO2 and green H2 into solar fuels with great efficiency through photothermal CO2 hydrogenation. However, designing photothermal catalysts with improved sunlight harvesting ability, intrinsic catalytic activity, and thermal management to prevent heat dissipation still remains rather challenging. Herein, we report a facile structural engineering strategy for preparing efficient nanoarray-based photothermal catalysts with strong light absorption ability, high metal dispersity, and effective thermal management. Optimizing the 120 μm-SiNCs@Co catalyst allowed it to reach a record high Co-based photothermal CO2 conversion rate of 1780 mmol gCo-1 h-1. This study provides insight into the structural engineering of photothermal catalysts for enhanced catalytic performance and lays a foundation for efficient photothermal CO2 catalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into high-value chemicals has been emerging as an attractive research direction in achieving carbon resource sustainability. The chemical products can be categorized into C1 and multi-carbon (C2+) products. In this review, we describe the recent research progress in photocatalytic CO2 conversion systems from C1 products to multi-carbon oxygenates, and analyze the reasons related to their catalytic mechanisms, as the production of multi-carbon oxygenates is generally more difficult than that of C1 products. Then we discuss several examples in promoting the photoconversion of CO2 to value-added multi-carbon products in the aspects of photocatalyst design, mass transfer control, determination of active sites, and intermediate regulation. Finally, we summarize perspectives on the challenges and propose potential directions in this fast-developing field, such as the prospect of CO2 transformation to long-chain hydrocarbons like salicylic acid or even plastics.

Abstract
Peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality have become the consensus goal of the international community to solve the environmental problems threatening mankind caused by accumulative greenhouse gases like CO2. Herein we proposed vacancy engineering of two-dimensional (2D) topological W2N3 for efficient CO2 hydrogenation into high value-added chemicals and fuels. Spherical aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (Cs-corrected STEM) confirmed a large amount of N vacancies on the catalyst surface, which significantly reduced the energy barrier for the formation of the essential intermediates of *CO and *CHO as revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Consequently, the highly stable catalyst exhibited efficient CO2 hydrogenation superior to many previous reports with a maximum CO2 conversion rate of 24% and a high selectivity of 23% for C2+ hydrocarbons. This work provided not only insight into the vacancy-controlled CO2 hydrogenation mechanism, but also fresh ammunition to bring the remaining potential of 2D topological transition metal nitrides in the field of catalysis.

Abstract
The incorporation of a transition metal into a noble metal for the formation of nanoalloys paves a potential way to modulate the electronic structures and spatial arrangement modes, thereby manipulating the target catalysis under the desired reaction pathways. Herein, a top-down synthetic route to fabricate IrCo nanoalloys with delicately designed compositions and morphologies at an extremely low calcination temperature of 200 °C is reported, which efficiently breaks through the thermodynamic limitations caused by the large atomic radii and electronegativity discrepancies between Co and Ir. A high-performance selective hydrogenation system enabled by the synthesized IrCo nanoalloys and the light irradiation is further established. Significantly, the unique properties of IrCo alloy, involving the special capability of generating local heating rather than hot electrons under light irradiation (the hot-electron effect was considered detrimental to hydrogenation reactions), as well as the highly polarized surface which aids in the hydrogen transfer from borane-ammonia complex (AB) to 4-nitrostyrene (4-NS) are discovered.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) as the most common primary malignant brain tumor exhibits a high incidence and degree of malignancy as well as poor prognosis. Due to the existence of formidable blood–brain barrier (BBB) and the aggressive growth and infiltrating nature of GBM, timely diagnosis and treatment of GBM is still very challenging. Among different imaging modalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with merits including high soft tissue resolution, non-invasiveness and non-limited penetration depth has become the preferred tool for GBM diagnosis. Furthermore, multimodal imaging with combination of MRI and other imaging modalities would not only synergistically integrate the pros, but also overcome the certain limitation in each imaging modality, offering more accurate morphological and pathophysiological information of brain tumors. Since contrast agents contribute to amplify imaging signal output for unambiguous pin-pointing of tumors, tremendous efforts have been devoted to advances of contrast agents for MRI and multimodal imaging. Herein, we put special focus on summary of the most recent advances of not only MRI contrast agents including iron oxide-, manganese (Mn)-, gadolinium (Gd)-, 19F- and copper (Cu)-incorporated nanoplatforms for GBM imaging, but also dual-modal or triple-modal nanoprobes. Furthermore, potential obstacles and perspectives for future research and clinical translation of these contrast agents are discussed. We hope this review provides insights for scientists and students with interest in this area.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into value-added chemicals through hydrogenation can optimize the energy structure dominated by fossil energy, effectively alleviate environmental problems, and achieve full utilization of carbon resources. However, the traditional CO2 hydrogenation reactions need to be carried out under high temperature and pressure, causing inevitable secondary pollution to the environment. A fundamental way to solve these problems is to use clean solar energy to convert CO2 into value-added chemicals and to establish an artificial carbon cycle process. In this Perspective, we highlight recent advances in photodriven CO2 conversion, including the reverse water-gas-shift reaction, methanation reaction, methanol synthesis reaction, and C2+ hydrocarbon synthesis reaction. Finally, we also discuss the challenges and future investigation opportunities for modulating the selective conversion of CO2. This Perspective offers guidance for the design of photodriven CO2 conversion or even the entire C1 catalyst chemistry for tuning product selectivity and activity.

Abstract
Thermo-photo catalysis, which is the catalysis with the participation of both thermal and photo energies, not only reduces the large energy consumption of thermal catalysis but also addresses the low efficiency of photocatalysis. As a whole greater than the sum of its parts, thermo-photo catalysis has been proven as an effective and promising technology to drive chemical reactions. In this review, we first clarify the definition (beyond photo-thermal catalysis and plasmonic catalysis), classification, and principles of thermo-photo catalysis and then reveal its superiority over individual thermal catalysis and photocatalysis. After elucidating the design principles and strategies toward highly efficient thermo-photo catalytic systems, an ample discussion on the synergetic effects of thermal and photo energies is provided from two perspectives, namely, the promotion of photocatalysis by thermal energy and the promotion of thermal catalysis by photo energy. Subsequently, state-of-the-art techniques applied to explore thermo-photo catalytic mechanisms are reviewed, followed by a summary on the broad applications of thermo-photo catalysis and its energy management toward industrialization. In the end, current challenges and potential research directions related to thermo-photo catalysis are outlined.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2reduction reaction (CO2RR) is believed to be a promising remedy to simultaneously lessen CO2emission and obtain high value-added products, but suffers from the thwarted activity of photocatalyst and poor selectivity of product. Over the past decade, aided by the significant advances in nanotechnology, the atom manufacturing of photocatalyst, including vacancies, dopants, single-atom catalysts, strains, have emerged as efficient approaches to precisely mediate the reaction intermediates and processes, which push forward in the rapid development of highly efficient and selective photocatalytic CO2RR. In this review, we summarize the recent developments in highly efficient and/or selective photocatalysts toward CO2RR with the special focus on various atom manufacturing. The mechanisms of these atom manufacturing from active sites creation, light absorbability, and electronic structure modulation are comprehensively and scientifically discussed. In addition, we attempt to establish the structure-activity relationship between active sites and photocatalytic CO2RR capability by integrating theoretical simulations and experimental results, which will be helpful for insights into mechanism pathways of CO2RR over defective photocatalysts. Finally, the remaining challenges and prospects in this field to improve the photocatalytic CO2RR performances are proposed, which can shed some light on designing more potential photocatalysts through atomic regulations toward CO2conversion.

Abstract
The increasing energy and environmental problems have made clean energy-driven catalysis a hot research topic. Methane is an earth-abundant raw material but difficult to be converted by thermochemical processes. It is of great significance to seek novel strategies to convert methane into high-value chemicals. Herein, we synthesize a series of transition metal catalysts based on layered double hydroxide precursors which were used for photothermal methane nonoxidative coupling reactions. The strong photothermal and chemisorption effects of the derived transition metal nanostructures allow the efficient activation of methane molecules. Among them, alumina-supported metallic Ni and NiCo-alloy catalysts show excellent methane nonoxidative coupling activities, achieved hydrogen production rates of 4816.53μmol g-1h-1and 5130.9μmol g-1h-1, accompanied by liquid fuels production rates of 59.2 mg g-1h-1and 63 mg g-1h-1, respectively. The findings, therefore, provide a new strategy for methane nonoxidative coupling driven by light energy at mild conditions.

Abstract
Photoinduced chemical transformations have received in recent years a tremendous amount of attention, providing a plethora of opportunities to synthetic organic chemists. However, performing a photochemical transformation can be quite a challenge because of various issues related to the delivery of photons. These challenges have barred the widespread adoption of photochemical steps in the chemical industry. However, in the past decade, several technological innovations have led to more reproducible, selective, and scalable photoinduced reactions. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of these exciting technological advances, including flow chemistry, high-throughput experimentation, reactor design and scale-up, and the combination of photo- and electro-chemistry.
