Abstract
Hydrogen has evolved as the cleanest and most sustainable fuel, produced directly from naturally abundant water resources. Generation of hydrogen by electrochemical or photoelectrochemical splitting of water has been conceived as the most effective method for hydrogen production. Herein, a robust solid metal-thiolate framework (MTF-1) was obtained by hydrothermal crystallization of the reaction mixture consisting of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trithioltrisodium salt and CuII under mild synthesis conditions. The material was thoroughly characterized and explored as efficient catalyst for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via water splitting reactions. MTF-1 showed onset potential 0.045 VRHE and overpotential η(@10 mA cm-2 ) at 0.096 VRHE . The electrochemical surface area of MTF-1 was found to be 509 m2 g-1 . The photo current density at pH 5.0 was found to be 0.487 mA cm-2 at 0.6 VRHE . The feasibility of the reaction pathway was correlated from the density function theory study, which suggested the complete downhill energetics indicating spontaneous electrochemical hydrogen generation in the acidic medium.

Abstract
The cyclization reactions of propargylic alcohols and propargylic amines with CO2 are important in industrial applications, but it was a great challenge that non-noble-metal catalysts catalyzed both reactions under mild conditions. Herein, the catalyst Cu2 O@ZIF-8 was prepared by encapsulating Cu2 O nanoparticles into robust ZIF-8, and it can effectively catalyze the cyclization of both propargylic alcohols and propargylic amines with CO2 into valuable α-alkylidene cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones with turnover numbers (TONs) of 12.1 and 19.6, which can be recycled at least five times. The mechanisms were further uncovered by NMR, FTIR, 13 C isotope-labeling experiments and DFT calculations, in which Cu2 O and DBU can synergistically activate the C≡C bond and the hydroxy/amino group of substrates. Importantly, it is the first example of a noble-metal-free catalyst that can catalyze both propargylic alcohols and propargylic amines with CO2 simultaneously.

Abstract
Precise control of the composition and structure of active sites in an atom-by-atom fashion remains insuperable for heterogeneous catalysts. Here, we introduce tailor-made catalytic sites for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides achieved by implementing Ag atoms at different levels of liberation in atomically precise Au nanoclusters. Our results reveal that a single open Ag site on the Au19 Ag4 cluster improves the ring-opening of epoxides and sequent CO2 insertion, while the partially exposed Ag site on the Au20 Ag1 cluster exhibits a weak affinity for epoxides and poor efficiency for CO2 capture. Structural tunability imparted by the atom-by-atom tailoring and unusual atomic charges distributed on Au and Ag atoms of the three clusters seem to be crucial for promoting challenging bond cleavages and formations in the chemical utilization of CO2 .
