Abstract
Biomolecules play vital roles in many biological processes and diseases, making their identification crucial. Herein, we present a colorimetric sensing method for detecting biomolecules like cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH). This approach is based on a reaction system whereby colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) undergoes catalytic oxidation to form blue-colored oxidized TMB (ox-TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), utilizing the peroxidase and catalase-mimicking activities of metal-phenolic coordination frameworks (MPNs) of Cu-TA, Co-TA, and Fe-TA nanospheres. The Fe-TA nanospheres demonstrated superior activity, more active sites and enhanced electron transport. Under optimal conditions, the Fe-TA nanospheres were used for the detection of biomolecules. When present, biomolecules inhibit the reaction between TMB and H2O2, causing various colorimetric responses at low detection limits of 0.382, 0.776 and 0.750 μM for Cys, Hcy and GSH. Furthermore, it was successfully applied to real water samples with good recovery results. The developed sensor not only offers a rapid, portable, and user-friendly technique for multi-target analysis of biomolecules at low concentrations but also expands the potential uses of MPNs for other targets in the environmental field.

Abstract
The rational design of carbon-supported transition-metal single-atom catalysts requires the precise arrangement of heteroatoms within the single-atom catalysts. However, achieving this design is challenging due to the collapse of the structure during the pyrolysis. Here, we introduce a topological heteroatom-transfer strategy to prevent the collapse and accurately control the P coordination in carbon-supported single-atom catalysts. As an illustration, we have prepared self-assembled helical fibers with encapsulated cavities. Within these cavities, adjustable functional groups can chelate metal ions (Nx···Mn+···Oy), facilitating the preservation of the structure during the pyrolysis based phosphidation. This process allows for the transfer of heteroatoms from the assembly into single-atom catalysts, resulting in the precise coordination tailoring. Notably, the Co-P2N2-C catalyst exhibits electrocatalytic performance as a non-noble metal single-atom catalyst for alkaline hydrogen evolution, attaining a current density of 100 mA cm-2 with an overpotential of only 131 mV.

Abstract
The widespread application of fuel cells is hampered by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which traditionally necessitates the use of high-cost platinum group metal catalysts. The indispensability of these metal catalysts stems from their ability to overcome kinetic barriers, but their high cost and scarcity necessitate alternative strategies. In this context, porous organic polymers (POPs), which are built up from the molecular level, are emerging as promising precursors to produce carbonaceous catalysts owning to their cost-effectiveness, high electrical conductivity, abundant active sites and extensive surface area accessibility. To enhance the intrinsic ORR activity and optimize the performance of these electrocatalysts, recognizing, designing, and increasing the density of active sites are identified as three crucial steps. These steps, which form the core of our review, serve to elucidate the link between the material structure design and ORR performance evaluation, thereby providing valuable insights for ongoing research in the field. Leveraging the precision of polymer skeletons based on molecular units, POP-derived carbonaceous catalysts provide an excellent platform for in-depth exploration of the role and working mechanism for the specific active site during the ORR process. In this review, the recent advances pertaining to the synthesis techniques and electrochemical functions of various types of active sites, pinpointed from POPs, are systematically summarized, including heteroatoms, surficial substituents and edge/defects. Notably, the structure-property relationship, between these active sites and ORR performance, are discussed and emphasized, which creates guidelines to shed light on the design of high-performance ORR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Ever-developing energy device technologies require the exploration of advanced materials with multiple functions. Heteroatom-doped carbon has been attracting attention as an advanced electrocatalyst for zinc-air fuel cell applications. However, the efficient use of heteroatoms and the identification of active sites are still worth investigating. Herein, a tridoped carbon is designed in this work with multiple porosities and high specific surface area (980 m-2 g-1). The synergistic effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and oxygen (O) in micromesoporous carbon on oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis are first investigated comprehensively. Metal-free N-, P-, and O-codoped micromesoporous carbon (NPO-MC) exhibits attractive catalytic activity in zinc-air batteries and outperforms a number of other catalysts. Combined with a detailed study of N, P, and O dopants, four optimized doped carbon structures are employed. Meanwhile, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are made for the codoped species. The lowest free energy barrier for the ORR can be attributed to the pyridine nitrogen and N-P doping structures, which is an important reason for the remarkable performance of NPO-MC catalyst in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
In recent years, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have received a significant amount of attention due to their high atomic utilization, low cost, high reaction activity, and selectivity for multiple catalytic reactions. Unfortunately, the high surface free energy of single atoms leads them easily migrated and aggregated. Therefore, support materials play an important role in the preparation and catalytic performance of SACs. Aiming at understanding the relationship between support materials and the catalytic performance of SACs, the support effects in SACs are introduced and reviewed herein. Moreover, special emphasis is placed on exploring the influence of the type and structure of supports on SAC catalytic performance through advanced characterization and theoretical research. Future research directions for support materials are also proposed, providing some insight into the design of SACs with high efficiency and high loading.

Abstract
Tetraarylmethanes and adamantanes are important rigid covalent connectors that play a four-way scaffolding role in molecular and materials chemistry. We report the synthesis of a new tetravalent phosphaza-adamantane cage, (PNSiMe3 )4 (NMe)6 (2), that shows high thermal, air, and redox stability due to its geometry. It nevertheless participates in covalent four-fold functionalization reactions along its periphery. The combination of a robust core and reactive corona makes 2 a convenient inorganic scaffold upon which tetrahedral molecular and macromolecular chemistry can be constructed. This potential is demonstrated by the synthesis of a tetrakis(bis(phosphine)iminium) ion (in compound 3) and the first all P/N poly(phosphazene) network (5).

Abstract
A considerable amount of platinum (Pt) is required to ensure an adequate rate for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Thus, the implementation of atomic Pt catalysts holds promise for minimizing the Pt content. In this contribution, atomic Pt sites with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) co-coordination on a carbon matrix (PtNPC) are conceptually predicted and experimentally developed to alter the d-band center of Pt, thereby promoting the intrinsic ORR activity. PtNPC with a record-low Pt content (≈0.026 wt %) consequently shows a benchmark-comparable activity for ORR with an onset of 1.0 VRHE and half-wave potential of 0.85 VRHE . It also features a high stability in 15 000-cycle tests and a superior turnover frequency of 6.80 s-1 at 0.9 VRHE . Damjanovic kinetics analysis reveals a tuned ORR kinetics of PtNPC from a mixed 2/4-electron to a predominately 4-electron route. It is discovered that coordinated P species significantly shifts d-band center of Pt atoms, accounting for the exceptional performance of PtNPC.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic energy conversion plays a crucial role in realizing energy storage and utilization. Clean energy technologies such as water electrolysis, fuel cells, and metal-air batteries heavily depend on a series of electrochemical redox reactions occurring on the catalysts surface. Therefore, developing efficient electrocatalysts is conducive to remarkably improved performance of these devices. Among numerous studies, transition metal-based nanomaterials (TMNs) have been considered as promising catalysts by virtue of their abundant reserves, low cost, and well-designed active sites. This Minireview is focused on the typical clean electrochemical reactions: hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and oxygen reduction reaction. Recent efforts to optimize the external morphology and the internal electronic structure of TMNs are described, and beginning with single-component TMNs, the active sites are clarified, and strategies for exposing more active sites are discussed. The summary about multi-component TMNs demonstrates the complementary advantages of integrating functional compositions. A general introduction of single-atom TMNs is provided to deepen the understanding of the catalytic process at an atomic scale. Finally, current challenges and development trends of TMNs in clean energy devices are summarized.

Abstract
The development of low-cost, highly efficient and stable non-precious metal electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) substituting Pt has attracted much attention. Herein, we developed a promising structural platform for the fabrication of carbon nanospheres functionalized with hollow nanostructures of M-NHCS (M = Fe, Co and Mn) based on metallo-deuteroporphyrins (MDP). Benefited from the multi-layered active sites and hollow substrate with more exposed active surface area, convenient channels for the transport of electrons, the resulting Fe-NHCS electrocatalysts exhibit enhanced electrocatalytic performance in ORR with an onset potential of 0.90 V (versus RHE), and a high selectivity in the direct 4-electron pathway. The Fe-NHCS electrocatalysts also show a good methanol tolerance superior to Pt/C catalysts and an extremely high stability with only 13.0 mV negative after 5000 cycles in alkaline media. Experiments have verified that maintaining the multi-layered Fe-N-C active sites and hollow substrate were essential to deliver the high performance for ORR. The work opens new avenues for utilizing MDP-based materials in future energy conversion applications.
