Abstract
Due to the complex series of elementary steps involved, achieving deep photoreduction of CO2 to multielectron products such as CH4 remains a challenging task. Therefore, it is crucial to strategically design catalysts that facilitate the controlled formation of the crucial intermediates and provide precise control over the reaction pathway. Herein, we present a pioneering approach by employing polyhydroxy fullerene (PHF) molecules to modify the surface of Ni(OH)2, creating stable and effective synergistic sites to enhance the formation of CH4 from CO2 under light irradiation. As a result, the optimized PHF-modified Ni(OH)2 cocatalyst achieves a CH4 production rate of 455 μmol g-1 h-1, with an electron-based selectivity of approximately 60%. The combination of in situ characterizations and theoretical calculations reveals that the hydroxyl species on the surface of PHF can participate in stabilizing crucial intermediates and facilitating water activation, thereby altering the reaction pathway to form CH4 instead of CO. This study provides a novel approach to regulating the selectivity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction by exploring molecular surface modification through interfacing with functionalized carbon clusters.

Abstract
A facile microwave-assisted strategy was employed to synthesize Ni3 Bi2 S2 nanocrystals. Variation in the synthesis conditions tuned the composition of monoclinic and orthorhombic phases of Ni3 Bi2 S2 . The electrochemical hydrogen evolution activity of the catalyst with highest percentage of monoclinic phase demonstrated a negligible onset potential of only 24 mV close to that of state-of-the-art Pt/C with an overpotential as low as 88 mV. Density functional theory calculations predicted the monoclinic phase exhibit the lowest adsorption free energy corresponding to hydrogen adsorption ( Δ G ads H * ) and, therefore, the highest hydrogen evolution activity amongst the considered phases. The quasi-2D structure of monoclinic phase facilitated an increased charge-transfer between Ni and Bi, favoring the downward shift of the d-band center to enhance the catalytic activity.

Abstract
The use of electrocatalysts with low metal content (metal-deficient) or metal free for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) can prevent or decrease metal ion release, which reduces environmental impact; development of such catalysts with high activity and durability over the whole pH range is thus highly desired but still remains a huge challenge. Herein, we describe the direct growth of a film consisting of interconnected Co-entrapped, N-doped carbon nanotubes on carbon cloth using chemical vapor deposition from dicyanodiamine using a Co3 O4 nanowire array as catalyst. This integrated architecture is used as a flexible 3D electrode for the electrolytic hydrogen evolution with outstanding catalytic activity and durability in acidic media. Moreover, this electrode is also highly efficient under neutral and basic conditions. It offers us an attractive carbon-based metal-deficient HER catalyst outperforming most transition-metal and all metal-free/deficient catalysts.
