Abstract
Phytoremediation techniques have been widely used in the treatment of heavy metal contaminated soils in recent years, but there is no effective post-treatment method for plant tissues containing heavy metals after remediation. Elsholtzia Harchowensis is a copper hyperaccumulator, commonly distributed in copper mining areas and often used for soil remediation of mine tailings. Moreover, copper-based catalysts are widely used in electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide, which aims to convert carbon dioxide into useful fuels or chemicals. In this study, copper-modified biochar was prepared from Elsholtzia Harchowensis. Its specific surface area can reach as high as 1202.9 m2/g, with a certain porous structure and even distribution of copper on the amorphous carbon. Various products (such as carbon monoxide, methane, ethanol, and formic acid) could be obtained from the electrolytic reduction of carbon dioxide by using the as-prepared catalyst. Instantaneous current density of up to 15.3 mA/cm2 were achieved in 1.0 M KHCO3 solution at a potential of -0.82 V (vs. RHE). Electrolysis at a potential of -0.32 V (vs. RHE) for 8 h resulted in a stable current of about 0.25 mA/cm2, and the Faraday efficiency (FE) of carbon monoxide can reach as high as 74.6%. In addition, electrolysis at a potential of -0.52 V (vs. RHE) for 8 h led to a stable current of about 2.2 mA/cm2 and a FE of 8.7% for the C2 product. The rich variety of elements in plants leads to catalysts with complex structural and elemental characteristics as well, which facilitates the electrolytic reduction of carbon dioxide with a variety of useful products.

Abstract
Industrial manufacturing of ethylene chlorohydrin (ECH) critically requires excess corrosive hydrochloric acid or hypochlorous acid with dealing with massive by-products and wastes. Here we report a green and efficient electrosynthesis of ECH from ethylene oxide (EO) with NaCl over a NiFe2 O4 nanosheet anode. Theoretical results suggest that EO and Cl preferentially adsorb on Fe and Ni sites, respectively, collaboratively promoting the ECH synthesis. A Cl radical-mediated ring-opening process is proposed and confirmed, and the key Cl and carbon radical species are identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry. This strategy can enable scalable electrosynthesis of 185.1 mmol of ECH in 1 h with 92.5 % yield at a 55 mA cm-2 current density. Furthermore, a series of other chloro- and bromoethanols with good to high yields and paired synthesis of ECH and 4-amino-3,6-dichloropyridine-2-carboxylicacid via respectively loading and unloading Cl are achieved, showing the promising potential of this strategy.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis is an important class of reactions in industrial production, especially in green chemical synthesis, and environmental and organic catalysis. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as promising candidates for heterogeneous catalysis, due to their outstanding catalytic activity, high selectivity, and maximum atomic utilization efficiency. The high specific surface energy of SACs, however, results in the migration and aggregation of isolated atoms under typical reaction conditions. The controllable preparation of highly efficient and stable SACs has been a serious challenge for applications. Herein, we summarize the recent progress in the precise synthesis of SACs and their different heterogeneous catalyses, especially involving the oxidation and reduction reactions of small organic molecules. At the end of this review, we also introduce the challenges confronted by single-atom materials in heterogeneous catalysis. This review aims to promote the generation of novel high-efficiency SACs by providing an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the current development in this research field.

Abstract
Different from the previous study that biomass derivatives replace water oxidation for enhancing hydrogen production, we found that mild oxidation was more conductive to cathodic hydrogen production. In this study, maximum Faradaic efficiency (>99 %) and lower energy consumption for hydrogen production was achieved by precisely controlling the two-electron mild electrochemical oxidation of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) to dihydroisoquinolines (DHIQs) in place of the four-electron deep oxidation to isoquinolines (IQs). Moreover, the high value-added DHIQs were prepared from THIQs with high selectivity (>99 %) at the low potential of 1.36 V. Operando electrochemical Raman and density functional theory proved that the high selectivity was attributed to the regulable active species of NiOOH induced by the interaction of Co and Fe for preferentially breaking C-H bond rather than N-H of THIQs. This novel method provides important insight into efficient biomass-assisted hydrogen production.

Abstract
Transition-metal-based oxyhydroxides are efficient catalysts in biomass electrooxidation towards fossil-fuel-free production of valuable chemicals. However, identification of active sites remains elusive. Herein, using cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) as the archetype and the electrocatalyzed glucose oxidation reaction (GOR) as the model reaction, we track dynamic transformation of the electronic and atomic structure of the catalyst using a suite of operando and ex situ techniques. We reveal that two types of reducible Co3+ -oxo species are afforded for the GOR, including adsorbed hydroxyl on Co3+ ion (μ1 -OH-Co3+ ) and di-Co3+ -bridged lattice oxygen (μ2 -O-Co3+ ). Moreover, theoretical calculations unveil that μ1 -OH-Co3+ is responsible for oxygenation, while μ2 -O-Co3+ mainly contributes to dehydrogenation, both as key oxidative steps in glucose-to-formate transformation. This work provides a framework for mechanistic understanding of the complex near-surface chemistry of metal oxyhydroxides in biomass electrorefining.

Abstract
Developing efficient and stable transition metal oxides catalysts for energy conversion processes such as oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction is one of the key measures to solve the problem of energy shortage. The spin state of transition metal oxides is strongly correlated with their catalytic activities. In an octahedral structure of transition metal oxides, the spin state of active centers could be regulated by adjusting the splitting energy and the electron pairing energy. Regulating spin state of active centers could directly modulate the d orbitals occupancy, which influence the strength of metal-ligand bonds and the adsorption behavior of the intermediates. In this review, we clarified the significance of regulating spin state of the active centers. Subsequently, we discussed several characterization technologies for spin state and some recent strategies to regulate the spin state of the active centers. Finally, we put forward some views on the future research direction of this vital field.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic splitting of water is recognized to be the most sustainable and clean technology for the production of hydrogen (H2 ). Unfortunately, the efficiency is seriously restricted by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode. In contrast to the OER, the electrooxidation of organic compounds (EOO) is more thermodynamically and kinetically favorable. Thus, the coupling of the EOO and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has emerged as an alternative route, as it can greatly improve the catalytic efficiency for the production of H2 . Simultaneously, value-added organic compounds can be generated on the anode through electrooxidation upgrading. In this Minireview, we highlight the latest progress and milestones in coupling the EOO with the HER. Emphasis is focused on the design of the anode catalyst, understanding the reaction mechanism, and the construction of the electrolyzer. Moreover, challenges and prospects are offered relating to the future development of this emerging technology.

Abstract
Photoreduction of CO2 into solar fuels has received great interest, but suffers from low catalytic efficiency and poor selectivity. Herein, two single-Cu-atom catalysts with unique Cu configurations in phosphorus-doped carbon nitride (PCN), namely, Cu1 N3 @PCN and Cu1 P3 @PCN were fabricated via selective phosphidation, and tested in visible light-driven CO2 reduction by H2 O without sacrificial agents. Cu1 N3 @PCN was exclusively active for CO production with a rate of 49.8 μmolCO gcat -1 h-1 , outperforming most polymeric carbon nitride (C3 N4 ) based catalysts, while Cu1 P3 @PCN preferably yielded H2 . Experimental and theoretical analysis suggested that doping P in C3 N4 by replacing a corner C atom upshifted the d-band center of Cu in Cu1 N3 @PCN close to the Fermi level, which boosted the adsorption and activation of CO2 on Cu1 N3 , making Cu1 N3 @PCN efficiently convert CO2 to CO. In contrast, Cu1 P3 @PCN with a much lower Cu 3d electron energy exhibited negligible CO2 adsorption, thereby preferring H2 formation via photocatalytic H2 O splitting.

Abstract
Purposefully designing the well-defined catalysts for the selective electroreduction of CO2 to C2 H4 is an extremely important but challenging work. In this work, three crystalline trinuclear copper clusters (Cu3 -X, X=Cl- , Br- , NO3 - ) have been designed, containing three active Cu sites with the identical coordination environment and appropriate spatial distance, delivering high selectivity for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to C2 H4 . The highest faradaic efficiency of Cu3 -X for CO2 -to-C2 H4 conversion can be adjusted from 31.90 % to 55.01 % by simply replacing the counter anions (NO3 - , Cl- , Br- ). The DFT calculation results verify that Cu3 -X can facilitate the C-C coupling of identical *CHO intermediates, subsequently forming molecular symmetrical C2 H4 product. This work provides an important molecular model system and a new design perspective for electroreduction of CO2 to C2 products with symmetrical molecular structure.

Abstract
Integrating electrolytic hydrogen production from water with thermodynamically more favorable aqueous organic oxidation reactions is highly desired, because it can enhance the energy conversion efficiency in relation to traditional water electrolysis, and produce value-added chemicals instead of oxygen at the anode. In this Minireview, we introduce some key considerations for anodic auxiliary electrosynthesis and outline three types of electrocatalytic organic reactions including biomass derivative, alcohol and amine oxidation reactions, which can boost cathodic hydrogen generation. Furthermore, frequently used noble-metal-free electrocatalysts are classified into nickel-based, cobalt-based, other transition-metal-based and bimetallic electrocatalysts. The preparation methods of these catalysts and their performance towards electrochemical oxidation reactions are also discussed in detail. We specifically highlight the importance of redox active sites on the surface of the electrocatalysts, which act as electron mediators to promote oxidation reactions. Finally, the current challenges and future developments in this emerging field are also discussed.
