Abstract
TiO2 is a model transition metal oxide that has been applied frequently in both photocatalytic and electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reactions (NRR). However, the phase which is more NRR active still remains a puzzle. This work presents a theoretical study on the NRR activity of the (001), (100), (101), and (110) surfaces of both anatase and rutile TiO2 . We found that perfect surfaces are not active for NRR, while the oxygen vacancy can promote the reaction by providing excess electrons and low-coordinated Ti atoms that enhance the binding of the key intermediate (HNN*). The NRR activity of the eight facets can be unified into a single scaling line. The anatase TiO2 (101) and rutile TiO2 (101) surfaces were found to be the most and the second most active surfaces with a limiting potential of -0.91 V and -0.95 V respectively, suggesting that the TiO2 NRR activity is not very phase-sensitive. For photocatalytic NRR, the results suggest that the anatase TiO2 (101) surface is still the most active facet. We further found that the binding strength of key intermediates scale well with the formation energy of oxygen vacancy, which is determined by the oxygen coordination number and the degree of relaxation of the surface after the creation of oxygen vacancy. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the activity of TiO2 surfaces. The results should be helpful for the design of more efficient TiO2 -based NRR catalysts.

Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are coordination polymers with high porosity that are constructed from molecular engineering. Constructing MOFs as photocatalysts for the reduction of nitrogen to ammonia is a newly emerging but fast-growing field, owing to MOFs’ large pore volumes, adjustable pore sizes, controllable structures, wide light harvesting ranges, and high densities of exposed catalytic sites. They are also growing in popularity because of the pristine MOFs that can easily be transformed into advanced composites and derivatives, with enhanced catalytic performance. In this review, we firstly summarized and compared the ammonia detection methods and the synthetic methods of MOF-based materials. Then we highlighted the recent achievements in state-of-the-art MOF-based materials for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. Finally, the summary and perspectives of MOF-based materials for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation were presented. This review aims to provide up-to-date developments in MOF-based materials for nitrogen fixation that are beneficial to researchers who are interested or involved in this field.

Abstract
Sluggish CO2 reduction/evolution kinetics at cathodes seriously impede the realistic applications of Li-CO2 batteries. Herein, synergistic photoelectric effect and plasmonic interaction are introduced to accelerate CO2 reduction/evolution reactions by designing a silver nanoparticle-decorated titanium dioxide nanotube array cathode. The incident light excites energetic photoelectrons/holes in titanium dioxide to overcome reaction barriers, and induces the intensified electric field around silver nanoparticles to enable effective separation/transfer of photogenerated carriers and a thermodynamically favorable reaction pathway. The resulting Li-CO2 battery demonstrates ultra-low charge voltage of 2.86 V at 0.10 mA cm-2 , good cycling stability with 86.9 % round-trip efficiency after 100 cycles, and high rate capability at 2.0 mA cm-2 . This work offers guidance on rational cathode design for advanced Li-CO2 batteries and beyond.

Abstract
To avoid the energy-consuming step of direct N≡N bond cleavage, photocatalytic N2 fixation undergoing the associative pathways has been developed for mild-condition operation. However, it is a fundamental yet challenging task to gain comprehensive understanding on how the associative pathways (i.e., alternating vs. distal) are influenced and altered by the fine structure of catalysts, which eventually holds the key to significantly promote the practical implementation. Herein, we introduce Fe dopants into TiO2 nanofibers to stabilize oxygen vacancies and simultaneously tune their local electronic structure. The combination of in situ characterizations with first-principles simulations reveals that the modulation of local electronic structure by Fe dopants turns the hydrogenation of N2 from associative alternating pathway to associative distal pathway. This work provides fresh hints for rationally controlling the reaction pathways toward efficient photocatalytic nitrogen fixation.

Abstract
Photocatalytic fixation of nitrogen is a promising method for green conversion of solar light, but has been substantially limited by inefficient activation of the nonpolar N≡N bond and the poor utilization of visible light. In this study, carbon nitride nanosheet composites with abundant nitrogen vacancies and strong plasmonic resonance absorption of visible light have been fabricated through the combination of hydrogen treatment and loading of Au nanoparticles. Ammonia yields of 184 μmol g-1 and 93 μmol g-1 are obtained without any sacrificial agent under full-light and visible-light irradiation, respectively. In particular, the visible-light activity is enhanced tenfold with the help of Au. Combining the experimental results and theoretical calculations, both the hydrogen treatment and Au loading help form nitrogen vacancies on the carbon nitride nanosheets, which promote N2 activation by enhancing the chemisorption. Furthermore, the Au loading further improves the nitrogen reduction efficiency through charging the excited hot electrons formed from the surface plasmonic resonance to the adsorbed N2 molecules.

Abstract
The photocatalytic reduction of N2 to NH3 is considered a promising strategy to alleviate human need for accessible nitrogen and environmental pollution, for which developing a photocatalyst is an effective method to complete the transformation of this process. We firstly design a series of highly efficient and stable polyoxometalates (POMs)-based zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) photocatalysts for N2 reduction. ZIF-67 can effectively fix N2 owing to its porosity. Integration of POMs cluster contributes enormous advantages in terms of broadening the absorption spectrum to improve sunlight utilization, enhance the stability of the materials, effectively inhibit the recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs, and reduce charge-transfer impedance. POMs can absorb light to convert into reduced POMs, which have stronger reducing ability to provide ample electrons to reduce N2 . The reduced POMs can recover their oxidation state through contact with an oxidant, which forms a self-recoverable and recyclable photocatalytic fixing N2 system. The photocatalytic activity enhances with the increasing number V substitutions in the POMs. Satisfactorily, ZIF-67@K11 [PMo4 V8 O40 ] (PMo4 V8 ) displays the most significant photocatalytic N2 activity with a NH3 yield of 149.0 μmol L-1 h-1 , which is improved by 83.5 % (ZIF-67) and 78.9 % (PMo4 V8 ). The introduction of POMs provides new insights for the design of high-performance photocatalyst nanomaterials to reduce N2 .

Abstract
Nitrate is a raw ingredient for the production of fertilizer, gunpowder, and explosives. Developing an alternative approach to activate the N≡N bond of naturally abundant nitrogen to form nitrate under ambient conditions will be of importance. Herein, pothole-rich WO3 was used to catalyse the activation of N≡N covalent triple bonds for the direct nitrate synthesis at room temperature. The pothole-rich structure endues the WO3 nanosheet more dangling bonds and more easily excited high momentum electrons, which overcome the two major bottlenecks in N≡N bond activation, that is, poor binding of N2 to catalytic materials and the high energy involved in this reaction. The average rate of nitrate production is as high as 1.92 mg g-1 h-1 under ambient conditions, without any sacrificial agent or precious-metal co-catalysts. More generally, the concepts will initiate a new pathway for triggering inert catalytic reactions.

Abstract
A high theoretical capacity of approximately 1400 mA h g-1 makes SnO2 a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, large volume expansion, poor intrinsic conductivity, and sluggish reaction kinetics have greatly hindered its practical application. The controlled creation of oxygen vacancy (OV) defects allows the intrinsic properties of SnO2 to be effectively modulated, but related work concerning SIBs is still lacking. In this Minireview, the mechanism of failure of SnO2 electrodes is discussed and an overview of recent progress in the general synthesis of OV-containing SnO2 materials and the feasible detection of OVs in SnO2 is presented. The use of OV-containing SnO2 -based anode materials in SIBs is also reviewed. Finally, challenges and future opportunities to engineer OVs for semiconductor oxides are examined.

Abstract
Photo-catalytic fixation of nitrogen by titania catalysts at ambient conditions has been reported for decades, yet the active site capable of adsorbing an inert N2 molecule at ambient pressure and the mechanism of dissociating the strong dinitrogen triple bond at room temperature remain unknown. In this work in situ near-ambient-pressure X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations are used to probe the active state of the rutile (110) surface. The experimental results indicate that photon-driven interaction of N2 and TiO2 is observed only if adventitious surface carbon is present, and computational results show a remarkably strong interaction between N2 and carbon substitution (C*) sites that act as surface-bound carbon radicals. A carbon-assisted nitrogen reduction mechanism is proposed and shown to be thermodynamically feasible. The findings provide a molecular-scale explanation for the long-standing mystery of photo-catalytic nitrogen fixation on titania. The results suggest that controlling and characterizing carbon-based active sites may provide a route to engineering more efficient photo(electro)-catalysts and improving experimental reproducibility.

Abstract
The photochemical production of fuels using sunlight is an innovative way for meeting the quickly increasing energy demands. One of the largest challenges is to develop high-performance photocatalysts that can meet the requirements of practical applications. Owing to their intriguing localized surface plasmon resonances, noble metal nanoparticles and nanostructures show a great potential for enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency and thereby have attracted rapidly growing interest recently. Here, for the first time, the latest achievements in the utilization of plasmons in driving CO2 reduction and N2 fixation into high-value products are comprehensively described. The involved plasmonic enhancement mechanisms in the two types of reactions are fully illustrated. A particular emphasis is given to the outlook on the direction and prospects for future work in this topic.
