Abstract
The direct co-conversion of methane and carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals has been a longstanding scientific pursuit for carbon neutrality and combating climate change. Herein, we present a photo-driven chemical process that reforms these two major greenhouse gases together to generate green methanol and CO, two high-valued industrial chemicals. Isotopic labeling and control experiments indicate an oxygen-atom-graft occurs, wherein CO2 transfers one O into the C-H bond of CH4 via photo-activated interfacial catalysis with AuPd nanoparticles supported on GaN. The photoexcited AuPd/GaN interface effectively orchestrates the CH4 oxidation and the CO2 reduction producing 13.66 mmol g-1 of CH3OH yield over 10 h. This design provides a solid scientific basis for the photo-driven oxygen-atom-grafting process to be further extended to visible light region.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202318166. [PMID: 38197197 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202318166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2024]
Abstract
The size of support in heterogeneous catalysts can strongly affect the catalytic property but is rarely explored in light-driven catalysis. Herein, we demonstrate the size of TiO2 support governs the selectivity in photothermal CO2 hydrogenation by tuning the metal-support interactions (MSI). Small-size TiO2 loading nickel (Ni/TiO2 -25) with enhanced MSI promotes photo-induced electrons of TiO2 migrating to Ni nanoparticles, thus favoring the H2 cleavage and accelerating the CH4 formation (227.7 mmol g-1 h-1 ) under xenon light-induced temperature of 360 °C. Conversely, Ni/TiO2 -100 with large TiO2 prefers yielding CO (94.2 mmol g-1 h-1 ) due to weak MSI, inefficient charge separation, and inadequate supply of activated hydrogen. Under ambient solar irradiation, Ni/TiO2 -25 achieves the optimized CH4 rate (63.0 mmol g-1 h-1 ) with selectivity of 99.8 %, while Ni/TiO2 -100 exhibits the CO selectivity of 90.0 % with rate of 30.0 mmol g-1 h-1 . This work offers a novel approach to tailoring light-driven catalytic properties by support size effect.

Abstract
The localized surface-plasmon resonance of the AuNP in aqueous media is extremely sensitive to environmental changes. By measuring the signal of plasmon scattering light, the dark-field microscopic (DFM) imaging technique has been used to monitor the aggregation of AuNPs, which has attracted great attention because of its simplicity, low cost, high sensitivity, and universal applicability. However, it is still challenging to interpret DFM images of AuNP aggregation due to the heterogeneous characteristics of the isolated and discontinuous color distribution. Herein, we introduce machine vision algorithms for the training of DFM images of AuNPs in different saline aqueous media. A visual deep learning framework based on AlexNet is constructed for studying the aggregation patterns of AuNPs in aqueous suspensions, which allows for rapid and accurate identification of the aggregation extent of AuNPs, with a prediction accuracy higher than 0.96. With the aid of machine learning analysis, we further demonstrate the prediction ability of various aggregation phenomena induced by both cation species and the concentration of the external saline solution. Our results suggest the great potential of machine vision frameworks in the accurate recognition of subtle pattern changes in DFM images, which can help researchers build predictive analytics based on DFM imaging data.

Abstract
The results of this work cover the influence of plasmonic (gold) and non-plasmonic (palladium) nanostructures on the photocatalytic activity and redox properties of titanium dioxide. Materials decorated with gold, palladium and both materials were examined using photoelectrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods to establish the changes introduced by the modifications and the possibility of the influence of the plasmonic effect from gold on their activity. Additionally, the photocatalytic tests of hydroxyl radical generation and hydrogen evolution were performed to confirm the activity of modified materials in oxidation and reduction reactions. It turned out that in the observed system the catalytic properties of palladium determine mostly the activity of modified materials, and the surface plasmon resonance of gold does not affect the activity. Moreover, the influence of the nanostructures on the activity, besides the catalytic performance, is the same for plasmonic and non-plasmonic ones and results in a change in the redox properties of the semiconductor.

Abstract
The development of photocatalysts with a wide spectral response and effective carrier separation capability is essential for the green degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride. In this study, a magnetic recyclable Z-scheme ZnO/ZnFe2O4 heterojunction (ZZF) was successfully constructed via the solid phase method, using MIL-88A(Fe)@Zn as the precursor. An appropriate band gap width and Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism provide ZZF with excellent visible light absorption performance, efficient charge separation, and a strong redox ability. Under visible light irradiation, the degradation efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride for the optimal sample can reach 86.3% within 75 min in deionized water and 92.9% within 60 min in tap water, exhibiting superior stability and reusability after five cycles. Moreover, the catalyst in the water can be conveniently recovered by magnetic force. After visible light irradiation for 70 min, the temperature of the reaction system increased by 21.9 °C. Its degradation constant (35.53 × 10-3 min-1) increased to 5.1 times that at room temperature (6.95 × 10-3 min-1). Using thermal energy enhances the kinetic driving force of the reactants and facilitates carrier migration, meaning that more charge is available for the production of •O2- and •OH. This study provides a potential candidate for the efficient degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride by combining thermal catalysis with a photocatalytic heterojunction.

Abstract
Integration of plasmonic nanoantennas with catalytically active reactors in deliberately designed hybrid supra-nanostructures creates a dual-functional materials platform, based upon which precise modulation of catalytic reaction kinetics becomes accomplishable through optical excitations of plasmon resonances. Here, we have developed a multistep synthetic approach that enables us to assemble colloidal Au@C/Pt core@shell/satellite supra-nanostructures, in which the Au core functions as a light-harvesting plasmonic nanoantenna, the Pt satellites act as catalytically active reactors, and the C shell serves as a nanoscale dielectric spacer separating the reactors from the antenna, respectively. By adjusting several synthetic parameters, the size of the Au core, the thickness of the C shell, and the surface coverage of Pt satellites can all be tuned independently. Choosing Pt-catalyzed cascade oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in an aerobic aqueous environment as a model reaction, we have systematically studied the detailed kinetic features of the catalytic reactions both in the dark and under visible light illumination over a broad range of reaction conditions, which sheds light on the interplay between plasmonic and catalytic effects in these antenna-reactor nanohybrids. The plasmonic antenna effect can be effectively harnessed to kinetically modulate multiple crucial steps during the cascade reactions, benefiting from plasmon-enhanced interband electronic transitions in the Pt satellites and plasmon-enhanced intramolecular electronic excitations in chromogenic intermediate species. In addition to the plasmonic antenna effect, photothermal transduction derived from plasmonic excitations can also provide significant contributions to the kinetic enhancements under visible light illumination. The knowledge gained from this work serves as important guiding principles for rational design and structural optimization of plasmonic antenna-reactor hybrid nanomaterials, endowing us with enhanced capabilities to kinetically modulate targeted catalytic/photocatalytic molecule-transforming processes through light illumination.

Abstract
Photocatalysis induced by localized surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanoparticles has been studied for more than a decade, but photocatalysis originating from direct interband excitations is still under-explored. The spectral overlap and the coupling of these two optical regimes also complicate the determination of hot carriers' energy states and eventually hinder the accurate assignment of their catalytic role in studied reactions. In this Featured Article, after reviewing previous studies, we suggest classifying the photoexcitation via intra- and interband transitions where the physical states of hot carriers are well-defined. Intraband transitions are featured by creating hot electrons above the Fermi level and suitable for reductive catalytic pathways, whereas interband transitions are featured by generating hot d-band holes below the Fermi level and better for oxidative catalytic pathways. Since the contribution of intra- and interband transitions are different in the spectral regions of localized surface plasmon resonance and direct interband excitations, the wavelength dependence of the photocatalytic activities is very helpful in assigning which transitions and carriers contribute to the observed catalysis.

Abstract
Acetaldehyde decomposition was performed under heating at a temperature range of 25-125 °C and UV irradiation on TiO2 doped by metallic Ni powder and TiO2 supported on nickel foam. The process was carried out in a high-temperature reaction chamber, "The Praying MantisTM", with simultaneous in situ FTIR measurements and UV irradiation. Ni powder was added to TiO2 in the quantity of 0.5 to 5.0 wt%. The photothermal measurements of acetaldehyde decomposition indicated that the highest yield of acetaldehyde conversion on TiO2 and UV irradiation was obtained at 75 °C. The doping of nickel to TiO2 did not increase its photocatalytic activity. Contrary to that, the application of nickel foam as a support for TiO2 appeared to be highly advantageous because it increased the decomposition of acetaldehyde from 31 to 52% at 25 °C, and then to 85% at 100 °C in comparison with TiO2 itself. At the same time, the mineralization of acetaldehyde to CO2 doubled in the presence of nickel foam. However, oxidized nickel foam used as support for TiO2 was detrimental. Most likely, different mechanisms of electron transfer between Ni-TiO2 and NiO-TiO2 occurred. The application of nickel foam greatly enhanced the separation of free carriers in TiO2. As a consequence, high yields from the photocatalytic reactions were obtained.

Abstract
Phenol is one of the most important fine chemical intermediates in the synthesis of plastics and drugs with a market size of ca. $30b1 and the commercial production is via a two-step selective oxidation of benzene, requiring high energy input (high temperature and high pressure) in the presence of a corrosive acidic medium, and causing serious environmental issues2-5. Here we present a four-phase interface strategy with well-designed Pd@Cu nanoarchitecture decorated TiO2 as a catalyst in a suspension system. The optimised catalyst leads to a turnover number of 16,000-100,000 for phenol generation with respect to the active sites and an excellent selectivity of ca. 93%. Such unprecedented results are attributed to the efficient activation of benzene by the atomically Cu coated Pd nanoarchitecture, enhanced charge separation, and an oxidant-lean environment. The rational design of catalyst and reaction system provides a green pathway for the selective conversion of symmetric organic molecules.

Abstract
Hydrogen and oxygen evolution via photocatalytic water splitting remains the quintessential alternative to fossil fuels. Photocatalysts must be sufficiently robust, competent, and productive toward harnessing sunlight in order to utilize the solar spectrum for maximal photocatalytic output. Herein, we have fabricated the MgIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2 composite via a facile solvothermal route and have determined its efficacy toward light-induced H2 and O2 generation reactions through water splitting with the aid of different sacrificial agents. Initially, the formation of pristine and composite materials was ascertained by PXRD, FTIR, etc. Moreover, with the aid of sophisticated morphological characterization techniques (FESEM and HRTEM), the intricate interaction between MgIn2S4 and UiO-66-NH2 was revealed. Additionally, the XPS studies suggested the effective interaction between the individual components with binding energy shifting suggesting the transfer of electrons from Zr-MOF to MgIn2S4. The PL and electrochemical aspects supported the effective photogenerated charge segregation in the prepared composite leading to superior photocatalytic outputs. Amidst the prepared composites of (3, 5, and 7 wt %) MgIn2S4/UiO-66-NH2, the 5 wt % or UM-2 composite displays optimal H2 and O2 evolution performances of 493.8 and 258.6 μmol h-1 (4-fold greater than for pristine MgIn2S4 and UiO-66-NH2), respectively. The nanocomposite's enhanced performance is indeed a consequence of the coadjuvant interaction among pristine UiO-66-NH2 and MgIn2S4 components that transpires via the Z-scheme-mediated charge transfer by enabling facile exciton segregation and channelization. Moreover, the composite inherited the remarkable framework stability of parent Zr-MOF, and the MgIn2S4 insertion had a negligible impact on the framework integrity. This work will offer a valuable model for developing robust Zr-MOF-based nanocomposite photocatalysts and evaluating their superior performance toward photocatalytic water redox reactions.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels is an auspicious route to alleviate the energy and environmental crisis brought by the continuous depletion of fossil fuels. The CO2 adsorption state on the surface of photocatalytic materials plays a significant role in its efficient conversion. The limited CO2 adsorption capacity of conventional semiconductor materials inhibit their photocatalytic performances. In this work, a bifunctional material for CO2 capture and photocatalytic reduction was fabricated by introducing palladium (Pd)-copper (Cu) alloy nanocrystals onto the surface of carbon, oxygen co-doped boron nitride (BN). The elemental doped BN with abundant ultra-micropores had high CO2 capture ability, and CO2 was adsorbed in the form of bicarbonate on its surface with the presence of water vapor. The Pd/Cu molar ratio had great impact on the grain size of Pd-Cu alloy and their distribution on BN. The CO2 molecules tended to be converted to carbon monoxide (CO) at interfaces of BN and Pd-Cu alloys due to their bidirectional interactions to the adsorbed intermediate species while methane (CH4) evolution might occur on the surface of Pd-Cu alloys. Owing to the uniform distribution of smaller Pd-Cu nanocrystals on BN, more effective interfaces were created in the Pd5Cu1/BN sample and it gave a CO production rate of 7.74 μmolg-1h-1 under simulated solar light irradiation, higher than the other PdCu/BN composites. This work can pave a new way for constructing effective bifunctional photo-catalysts with high selectivity to convert CO2 to CO.

Abstract
By rational design and parameter engineering of the TiO2-Pt core-satellite construction, visible light absorption in small Pt nanoparticles (NPs) can be enhanced by nearly 100 times. The TiO2 microsphere support works as the optical antenna, giving rise to superior performance compared to conventional plasmonic nanoantennas. A crucial step is to bury the Pt NPs completely in the high refractive index TiO2 microsphere, because light absorption in the Pt NP approximately scales with the fourth power of the refractive index of its surrounding media. The proposed evaluation factor for light absorption enhancement in the Pt NPs at different positions is proved to be valid and useful. The physics modeling of the buried Pt NPs corresponds to the general case in practice where the surface of the TiO2 microsphere is naturally rough or a thin TiO2 coating is subsequently added. These results offer new avenues for directly transforming dielectric supported nonplasmonic catalytic transition metals into visible light photocatalysts.

Abstract
Optical excitation is widely acknowledged as one of the most effective means of balancing sensor responses and response/recovery properties at room temperature (RT, 25 °C). Moreover, noble metals have been proven to be suitable as photosensitizers for optical excitation. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) determines the liberalization of quasi-free electrons in noble metals under light irradiation, and numerous injected electrons in semiconductors will greatly promote the generation of chemisorbed oxygen, thus elevating the sensor response. In this study, pure SnO2 and Au/SnO2 nanowires (NWs) were successfully synthesized through the electrospinning method and validated using XRD, EDS, HRTEM, and XPS. Although a Schottky barrier led to a much higher initial resistance of the Au/SnO2 composite compared with pure SnO2 at RT in the dark, the photoinduced resistance of the Au/SnO2 composite became lower than that of pure SnO2 under UV irradiation with the same intensity, which confirmed the effect of LSPR. Furthermore, when used as sensing materials, a detailed comparison between the sensing properties of pure SnO2 and Au/SnO2 composite toward NO2 in the dark and under UV irradiation highlighted the crucial role of the LSPR effects. In particular, the response of Au/SnO2 NWs toward 5 ppm NO2 could reach 65 at RT under UV irradiation, and the response/recovery time was only 82/42 s, which far exceeded those under Au modification-only or optical excitation-only. Finally, the gas-sensing mechanism corresponding to the change in sensor performance in each case was systematically proposed.

Recent Developments in Heterogeneous Photocatalysts with Near-Infrared Response. Symmetry (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
Photocatalytic technology has been considered as an efficient protocol to drive chemical reactions in a sustainable and green way. With the assistance of semiconductor-based materials, heterogeneous photocatalysis converts solar energy directly into chemical energy that can be readily stored. It has been employed in several fields including CO2 reduction, H2O splitting, and organic synthesis. Given that near-infrared (NIR) light occupies 47% of sunlight, photocatalytic systems with a NIR response are gaining more and more attention. To enhance the solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency, precise regulation of the symmetric/asymmetric nanostructures and band structures of NIR-response photocatalysts is indispensable. Under the irradiation of NIR light, the symmetric nano-morphologies (e.g., rod-like core-shell shape), asymmetric electronic structures (e.g., defect levels in band gap) and asymmetric heterojunctions (e.g., PN junctions, semiconductor-metal or semiconductor-dye composites) of designed photocatalytic systems play key roles in promoting the light absorption, the separation of electron/hole pairs, the transport of charge carriers to the surface, or the rate of surface photocatalytic reactions. This review will comprehensively analyze the four main synthesis protocols for the fabrication of NIR-response photocatalysts with improved reaction performance. The design methods involve bandgap engineering for the direct utilization of NIR photoenergy, the up-conversion of NIR light into ultraviolet/visible light, and the photothermal effect by converting NIR photons into local heat. Additionally, challenges and perspectives for the further development of heterogeneous photocatalysts with NIR response are also discussed based on their potential applications.

Abstract
Achieving CO2 reduction with H2O on metal photocatalysts and understanding the corresponding mechanisms at the molecular level are challenging. Herein, we report that quantum-sized Au nanoparticles can photocatalytically reduce CO2 to CO with the help of H2O by electron-hole pairs mainly originating from interband transitions. Notably, the Au photocatalyst shows a CO production rate of 4.73 mmol g-1 h-1 (~100% selectivity), ~2.5 times the rate during CO2 reduction with H2 under the same experimental conditions, under low-intensity irradiation at 420 nm. Theoretical and experimental studies reveal that the increased activity is induced by surface Au-O species formed from H2O decomposition, which synchronously optimizes the rate-determining steps in the CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation reactions, lowers the energy barriers for the *CO desorption and *OOH formation, and facilitates CO and O2 production. Our findings provide an in-depth mechanistic understanding for designing active metal photocatalysts for efficient CO2 reduction with H2O.

Abstract
Thermo-photo catalysis, which is the catalysis with the participation of both thermal and photo energies, not only reduces the large energy consumption of thermal catalysis but also addresses the low efficiency of photocatalysis. As a whole greater than the sum of its parts, thermo-photo catalysis has been proven as an effective and promising technology to drive chemical reactions. In this review, we first clarify the definition (beyond photo-thermal catalysis and plasmonic catalysis), classification, and principles of thermo-photo catalysis and then reveal its superiority over individual thermal catalysis and photocatalysis. After elucidating the design principles and strategies toward highly efficient thermo-photo catalytic systems, an ample discussion on the synergetic effects of thermal and photo energies is provided from two perspectives, namely, the promotion of photocatalysis by thermal energy and the promotion of thermal catalysis by photo energy. Subsequently, state-of-the-art techniques applied to explore thermo-photo catalytic mechanisms are reviewed, followed by a summary on the broad applications of thermo-photo catalysis and its energy management toward industrialization. In the end, current challenges and potential research directions related to thermo-photo catalysis are outlined.

Abstract
We furnish a comprehensive study on light-induced carrier generation due to the synergistic contribution of Au interband transition and graphene oxide (GO)/ZnO heterostructure. Plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au_nps) are incorporated as a substructure sandwiched between GO and ZnO, assisting in additional photo-induced charge carrier generation. GO is prepared by a single-step plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process. The GO/ZnO heterostructure having an active working area of 0.25 cm2 is created to unleash the pyroelectric property of ZnO, and subsequently, Au_np is introduced at the interface of GO/ZnO. Here, the interband transition of Au_np and its capability for charge carrier generation combined with the excitonic charge carrier generation of the highly crystalline non-centrosymmetric hexagonal wurtzite ZnO enhances the photoresponse. Furthermore, the interaction of Au_np with ZnO and its spatial electric field intensity distribution is demonstrated by finite difference time domain simulation which indicate toward an efficient carrier generation at the interface of Au_np and ZnO. The fabricated heterostructure has an active working wavelength in the UV-A region with the highest responsivity at 375 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum. The ultrafast response time (∼29 μs) of the device is due to the pyro-phototronic effect of the GO/ZnO heterostructure enhanced by the interband transition of Au. In the comparative study of the Au_np-enriched GO/ZnO heterostructure device with a GO/ZnO device, the former shows better performance. Both the devices work in the self-powered mode as well as the photoconductive mode, but with a higher on-off current ratio in the photoconductive mode. Hence, this work helps in properly understanding photo-induced charge generation in a Au interband transition enriched GO/ZnO heterostructure.

Abstract
Utilizing hot electrons generated from localized surface plasmon resonance is of widespread interest in the photocatalysis of metallic nanoparticles. However, hot holes, especially generated from interband transitions, have not been fully explored for photocatalysis yet. In this study, a photocatalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction using mesoporous Pd nanoparticle photocatalyst served as a model to study the role of hot holes. Quantum yields of the photocatalysts increase under shorter wavelength excitations and correlate to “deeper” energy of the holes from the Fermi level. This work suggests that deeper holes in the d-band catalyze the oxidative addition of aryl halide R-X onto Pd0 at the nanoparticles' surface to form R-PdII-X complex, thus accelerating the rate-determining step of the catalytic cycle. The hot electrons do not play a decisive role. In the future, catalytic mechanisms induced by deep holes should deserve as much attention as the well-known hot electron transfer mechanism. Comparison of quantum yield across different wavelengths Interband transitions from shorter wavelength excitation offering deeper holes Deeper holes with stronger oxidizing power for higher quantum yield

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogenation provides an effective alternative way for the synthesis of industrial chemicals to meet the economic and environment expectations. Especially, over the past few years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), featured with tunable structure, porosity, and crystallinity, have been significantly developed as many high-performance catalysts in the field of photocatalysis. In this review, the background and development of photocatalytic hydrogenation are systemically summarized. In particular, the comparison between photocatalysis and thermal catalysis, and the fundamental understanding of photohydrogenation, including reaction pathways, reducing species, regulation of selectivity, and critical parameters of light, are proposed. Moreover, this review highlights the advantages of MOFs-based photocatalysts in the area of photohydrogenation. Typical effective strategies for modifying MOFs-based composites to produce their advantages are concluded. The recent progress in the application of various types of MOFs-based photocatalysts for photohydrogenation of unsaturated organic chemicals and carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is summarized and discussed in detail. Finally, a brief conclusion and personal perspective on current challenges and future developments of photocatalytic hydrogenation processes and MOFs-based photocatalysts are also highlighted.

Abstract
Photo-thermal catalysis has recently emerged as a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of traditional photocatalysis. Despite its potential, most of the photo-thermal systems still lack adequate selectivity patterns and appropriate analysis of the underlying reaction pathways, thus hampering a wide implementation. Herein, a novel photocatalyst based on Pd nanoparticles (NPs) supported on barium titanate (BTO) was prepared for the selective photo-thermal reduction of CO2 and displayed catalytic rates of up to 8.2 molCO gPd -1 h-1 . The photocatalyst allowed for a tailored selectivity towards CO or CH4 as a function of the metal loading or the light intensity. Mechanistic studies indicated that both thermal and non-thermal contributions of light played a role in the overall reaction pathway, each of them being dominant upon changing reaction conditions.

Abstract
We present the fabrication of core-shell-satellite Au@SiO2 -Pt nanostructures and demonstrate that LSPR excitation of the core Au nanoparticle can induce plasmon coupling effect to initiate photocatalytic hydrogen generation from decomposition of formic acid. Further studies suggest that the plasmon coupling effect induces a strong local electric field between the Au core and Pt nanoparticles on the SiO2 shell, which enables creation of hot electrons on the non-plasmonic-active Pt nanoparticles to participate hydrogen evolution reaction on the Pt surface. In addition, small SiO2 shell thickness is required in order to obtain a strong plamon coupling effect and achieve efficient photocatalytic activities for hydrogen generation.

Abstract
Urea, an agricultural fertilizer, nourishes humanity. The century-old Bosch-Meiser process provides the world's urea. It is multi-step, consumes enormous amounts of non-renewable energy, and has a large CO2 footprint. Thus, developing an eco-friendly synthesis for urea is a priority. Herein we report a single-step Pd/LTA-3A catalyzed synthesis of urea from CO2 and NH3 under ambient conditions powered solely by solar energy. Pd nanoparticles serve the dual function of catalyzing the dissociation of NH3 and providing the photothermal driving force for urea formation, while the absorption capacity of LTA-3A removes by-product H2 O to shift the equilibrium towards urea production. The solar urea conversion rate from NH3 and CO2 is 87 μmol g-1 h-1 . This advance represents a first step towards the use of solar energy in urea production. It provides insights into green fertilizer production, and inspires the vision of sustainable, modular plants for distributed production of urea on farms.

Abstract
Rational phase engineering of reduction cocatalyst offers a promising route to modulate the photocatalytic activity and selectivity in the conversion of CO2 to chemical feedstocks. However, it remains a great challenge to choose a suitable phase given that high-crystallinity phase is more conducive to the charge transfer and separation, while amorphous phase is more favorable for the adsorption and activation of CO2 molecules. To resolve this dilemma, herein, with Pd as a well-defined model, a surface amorphization strategy has been developed to fabricate crystalline@amorphous semi-core-shell cocatalysts based on the transformation of outer layer atoms of crystalline cocatalysts to disorder phase. According to the theoretical and experimental analysis, in the heterostructured cocatalysts, crystalline core shuttles the photoexcited electrons from light-harvesting semiconductor to amorphous shell due to its strong electronic coupling with both components. Meanwhile, amorphous shell provides efficient active sites for preferential activation and conversion of CO2 and suppression of undesirable proton reduction. Benefiting from the synergistic effects between crystalline core and amorphous shell, the optimized heterophase cocatalyst with suitable thickness of amorphous shell achieves superior CO (22.2 µmol gcat-1 h-1 ) and CH4 (38.1 µmol gcat-1 h-1 ) formation rates with considerable selectivity and high stability in comparison with crystalline and amorphous counterparts.

Abstract
Metal cocatalyst loading is one of the most widely explored strategies in promoting photocatalytic solar energy conversion. Engineering surface-active facets of metal cocatalyst and exploring how they modulate the reactivity is crucial for the further development of advanced photocatalysts. In this work, through controlled hybridization of two-dimensional (2D) TiO2 nanosheets with well-designed Pd nanocube (Pd NC) with exposed {100} facet and Pd nano-octahedron (NO) with exposed {111} facet, we unravel the distinct crystal facet effect of Pd cocatalyst in promoting the selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes to amines of TiO2 photocatalyst. The activity tests show that the Pd NO with {111} facet is a more efficient cocatalyst than the Pd NC with exposed {100} facet. The prepared TiO2-Pd NO composite displays a 900% enhancement of photocatalytic hydrogenation rate in comparison with bare TiO2, while the TiO2-Pd NC sample only shows a 200% photoactivity enhancement. Microscopic mechanism study discloses that the distinctive photoactivity improvement of Pd NO is ascribed to the concurrent modulation of the Schottky barrier height and enrichment of surface reactants: (i) the Pd NO with a lower Fermi level could result in steeper band bending of TiO2 (i.e., higher Schottky barrier) than the Pd NC, which is more efficient in boosting interfacial separation and inhibiting the recombination of photoexcited charge pairs; and (ii) the {111} facet of Pd has higher nitroarenes adsorption ability and especially stronger hydrogen enrichment capability, thus accelerating the surface hydrogenation process and contributing to a higher reaction rate. This work emphasizes the rational facet control of cocatalysts for enhancing the photocatalytic hydrogenation performance.

Abstract
Natural photosynthesis proceeded by sequential water splitting and CO2 reduction reactions is an efficient strategy for CO2 conversion. Here, mimicking photosynthesis to boost CO2-to-CO conversion is achieved by using plasmonic Bi as an electron-proton-transfer mediator. Electroreduction of H2O with a Bi electrode simultaneously produces O2 and hydrogen-stored Bi (Bi-Hx). The obtained Bi-Hx is subsequently used to generate electron-proton pairs under light irradiation to reduce CO2 to CO; meanwhile, Bi-Hx recovers to Bi, completing the catalytic cycle. This two-step strategy avoids O2 separation and enables a CO production efficiency of 283.8 μmol g-1 h-1 without sacrificial reagents and cocatalysts, which is 9 times that on pristine Bi in H2 gas. Theoretical/experimental studies confirm that such excellent activity is attributed to the formed Bi-Hx intermediate that improves charge separation and reduces reaction barriers in CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The attachment of homoleptic Ru bis-terpy complexes on graphene oxide significantly improved the photocatalytic activity of the complexes. These straightforward complexes were applied as photocatalysts in a Heck reaction. Due to covalent functionalization on graphene oxide, which functions as an electron reservoir, excellent yields were obtained. DFT investigations of the charge redistribution revealed efficient hole transfer from the excited Ru unit towards the graphene oxide.

Abstract
As an important damping way of the light absorption of plasmonic nanoparticles, the d-sp interband transition within the short wavelength regime has been recently drawing attentions in photochemistry. Compared with the intraband Landau damping, the d-sp interband transition excited carriers have larger populations and longer relaxation times, which is promising to match the photochemical reactions in time scale. Here, we propose a novel approach to the growth of plasmonic gold nanoparticles more efficiently promoted by d-sp interband transition excited charge carriers than by plasmon excited carriers. It is founded that photochemical growth of plasmonic gold nanoparticles can be modulated by engineering the electrochemical potential of precursor using different surfactants. From the distribution of surfactant on a single gold nanoparticle revealed by nanoscale resolved IR mapping, a reasonable photochemical reaction mechanism mediated by d-sp interband excitation is suggested. The results highlight the importance of d-sp interband transition excited carriers in photochemical reactions especially for materials science.

Abstract
The practical applications of non-aqueous lithium-oxygen batteries are impeded by large overpotentials and unsatisfactory cycling durability. Reported here is that commonly encountered fatal problems can be efficiently solved by using a carbon- and binder-free electrode of titanium coated with TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Ultraviolet irradiation of the TNAs generates positively charged holes, which efficiently decompose Li2 O2 and Li2 CO3 during recharging, thereby reducing the overpotential to one that is near the equilibrium potential for Li2 O2 formation. The AuNPs promote Li2 O2 formation, resulting in a large discharge capacity. The electrode exhibits excellent stability with about 100 % coulombic efficiency during continuous cycling of up to 200 cycles, which is due to the carbon- and binder-free composition. This work reveals a new strategy towards the development of highly efficient oxygen electrode materials for lithium-oxygen batteries.

Abstract
Enormous efforts have been devoted to the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) by utilizing various driving forces, such as heat, electricity, and radiation. However, the efficient reduction of CO2 is still challenging because of sluggish kinetics. Recent pioneering studies from several groups, including us, have demonstrated that the coupling of solar energy and thermal energy offers a novel and promising strategy to promote the activity and/or manipulate selectivity in CO2 reduction. Herein, we clarify the definition and principles of coupling solar energy and thermal energy, and comprehensively review the status and prospects of CO2 reduction by coupling solar energy and thermal energy. Catalyst design, reactor configuration, photo-mediated activity/selectivity, and mechanism studies in photo-thermo CO2 reduction will be emphasized. The aim of this Review is to promote understanding towards CO2 activation and provide guidelines for the design of new catalysts for the efficient reduction of CO2 .
