Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are the core reactions of a series of advanced modern energy and conversion technologies, such as fuel cells and metal-air cells. Among all kinds of oxygen electrocatalysts that have been reported, single-atom catalysts (SACs) offer great development potential because of their nearly 100% atomic utilization, unsaturated coordination environment, and tunable electronic structure. In recent years, numerous SACs with enriched active centers and asymmetric coordination have been successfully constructed by regulating their coordination environment and electronic structure, which has brought the development of atomic catalysts to a new level. This paper reviews the improvement of SACs brought by atom-level interface engineering. It starts with the introduction of advanced techniques for the characterizations of SACs. Subsequently, different design strategies that are applied to adjust the metal active center and first coordination sphere of SACs and then enhance their oxygen electrocatalysis performance are systematically illustrated. Finally, the future development of SACs toward ORR and OER is discussed and prospected.

Abstract
Metalloporphyrins have exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activities for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In order to improve the efficiency and conductivity, these molecular catalysts need to be immobilized on conductive electrode materials. Herein, a facile "one-pot" strategy was developed to coat a covalent metalloporphyrin polymer on a carbon nanotube (CNT) as bifunctional catalysts [denoted as MTIPP@CNTs, H2TIPP = 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-(imidazole-1-yl)phenyl)porphyrin)] for water splitting in alkaline solution. MTIPP@CNTs have shown excellent electrocatalytic activities for both the HER and OER when metalloporphyrin's central metal is optimized as well as the amount of catalysts that is loaded on the CNT. The overpotential (η10) of NiTIPP@CNT-2 for the OER is only 320 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH, and CoTIPP@CNT-1 exhibited an excellent electrocatalytic activity for the HER (η10 = 450 mV for 10 mA cm-2). Furthermore, the remarkable bifunctional electrocatalytic performance (a cell voltage of 2.04 V with a current density of 10 mA cm-2) was also explored in the overall water splitting test.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries constitute promising next-generation energy storage devices due to the ultrahigh theoretical energy density of 2600 Wh kg-1. However, the multiphase sulfur redox reactions with sophisticated homogeneous and heterogeneous electrochemical processes are sluggish in kinetics, thus requiring targeted and high-efficient electrocatalysts. Herein, a semi-immobilized molecular electrocatalyst is designed to tailor the characters of the sulfur redox reactions in working Li-S batteries. Specifically, porphyrin active sites are covalently grafted onto conductive and flexible polypyrrole linkers on graphene current collectors. The electrocatalyst with the semi-immobilized active sites exhibits homogeneous and heterogeneous functions simultaneously, performing enhanced redox kinetics and a regulated phase transition mode. The efficiency of the semi-immobilizing strategy is further verified in practical Li-S batteries that realize superior rate performances and long lifespan as well as a 343 Wh kg-1 high-energy-density Li-S pouch cell. This contribution not only proposes an efficient semi-immobilizing electrocatalyst design strategy to promote the Li-S battery performances but also inspires electrocatalyst development facing analogous multiphase electrochemical energy processes.

Abstract
Unprotected mononuclear pyrene-modified (bispyridylaminomethyl)methylphenol copper complexes were designed to be immobilized at multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) electrodes and form dinuclear bis(μ-phenolato) complexes on the surface. These complexes exhibit a high oxygen reduction reaction activity of 12.7 mA cm-2 and an onset potential of 0.78 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. The higher activity of these complexes compared to that of mononuclear complexes with bulkier groups is induced by the favorable early formation of a dinuclear catalytic species on MWCNT.

Abstract
Synthesizing molecule@support hybrids is appealing to improve molecular electrocatalysis. We report herein metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported Co porphyrins for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with improved activity and selectivity. Co porphyrins can be grafted on MOF surfaces through ligand exchange. A variety of porphyrin@MOF hybrids were made using this method. Grafted Co porphyrins showed boosted ORR activity with large (>70 mV) anodic shift of the half-wave potential compared to ungrafted porphyrins. By using active MOFs for peroxide reduction, the number of electrons transferred per O2 increased from 2.65 to 3.70, showing significantly improved selectivity for the 4e ORR. It is demonstrated that H2 O2 generated from O2 reduction at Co porphyrins is further reduced at MOF surfaces, leading to improved 4e ORR. As a practical demonstration, these hybrids were used as air electrode catalysts in Zn-air batteries, which exhibited equal performance to that with Pt-based materials.

Abstract
A copper complex, [Cu(dpaq)](ClO4) (1), of a monoanionic pentadentate amidate ligand (dpaq) has been isolated and characterized to study its efficacy toward electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen in neutral aqueous medium. The Cu(II) mononuclear complex, poised in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal structure, reduces oxygen at an onset potential of 0.50 V vs RHE. Kinetics study by hydrodynamic voltammetry and chronoamperometry suggests a stepwise mechanism for sequential reduction of O2 to H2O2 to H2O at a single-site Cu-catalyst. The foot-of-the-wave analysis records a turnover frequency of 5.65 × 102 s-1. At pH 7.0, complex 1 undergoes a quasi-reversible mixed metal-ligand-based reduction and triggers the reduction of dioxygen to water. Electrochemical studies in tandem with quantum chemical investigation, conducted at different redox states, portray the active participation of ligand in completing the process of proton-coupled electron transfer internally. The protonated carboxamido moiety acts as a proton relay, while the quinoline-based orbital supplies the necessary redox equivalent for the conversion of complex 1 to Cu(II)-hydroperoxo species. Thus, a suitable combination of redox non-innocence and proton shuttling functionality in the ligand makes it an effective electron-proton-transfer mediator and subsequently assists the process of oxygen reduction.

Abstract
Atomic interface regulation is thought to be an efficient method to adjust the performance of single atom catalysts. Herein, a practical strategy was reported to rationally design single copper atoms coordinated with both sulfur and nitrogen atoms in metal-organic framework derived hierarchically porous carbon (S-Cu-ISA/SNC). The atomic interface configuration of the copper site in S-Cu-ISA/SNC is detected to be an unsymmetrically arranged Cu-S1N3 moiety. The catalyst exhibits excellent oxygen reduction reaction activity with a half-wave potential of 0.918 V vs. RHE. Additionally, through in situ X-ray absorption fine structure tests, we discover that the low-valent Cuprous-S1N3 moiety acts as an active center during the oxygen reduction process. Our discovery provides a universal scheme for the controllable synthesis and performance regulation of single metal atom catalysts toward energy applications.

Abstract
Development of low-cost and efficient (electro)catalysts with tunable 2e/4e oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) selectivity toward energy conversion, biomimetic catalysis, and biosensing has attracted growing interest. Herein, we reported that carbon nanohybrids with O- or N-coordinated Cu (Cu-OC or Cu-NC) showed superior activity for 2e and 4e electrocatalytic ORR with selectivities of 84.0% and 97.2%, respectively. Experimental evidence demonstrated that the strong electron-rich O-doped carbon in Cu-OC donated electrons to Cu2+, weakening the binding strength of H2O2 at Cu-O centers and facilitating the 2e ORR pathway for selective production of H2O2. However, the poor electron-donor ability of the N-doped carbon in Cu-NC made Cu-N sites more electron deficient due to the reduced electron transfer from N-doped carbon to Cu2+, promoting 4e ORR by enhancing adsorption of O2 and the ORR intermediates. The high 4e ORR activity of Cu-NC rendered its potential for application in a Zn-air battery and oxidase-mimicking activity for 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and ascorbic acid (AA) oxidation. The maximal velocity (Vmax) of TMB and AA oxidation over Cu-NC was higher than some natural oxidases and noble-metal-based artificial enzymes. The lower activation energy for AA oxidation over Cu-NC resulted in a 263-fold higher oxidative rate than TMB, further prompting nonenzymatic sensing of AA by the competitive oxidation strategy.

Abstract
Galactose Oxidase (GOase) and catechol oxidase (COase) are the metalloenzymes of copper having monomeric and dimeric sites of coordination, respectively. This paper summarizes the results of our studies on the structural, spectral and catalytic properties of new mononuclear copper (II) complexes [CuL(OAc)] (1), and [CuL2] (2), (HL = 2,4‑dichloro‑6‑{[(2'‑dimethyl‑aminoethyl)methylamino]methyl}‑phenol) which can mimic the functionalities of the metalloenzymes GOase and COase. The structure of the compounds has been elucidated by X-ray crystallography and the mimicked Cu(II) catalysts were further characterized by EPR. These mimicked models were used for GOase and COase catalysis. The GOase catalytic results were identified by GC-MS and, analyzed by HPLC at room temperature. The conversion of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde were significant in presence of a strong base, Bu4NOMe in comparison to the neutral medium. Apart from that, despite of being monomeric in nature, both the homogeneous catalysts are very prone to participate in COase mimicking oxidation reaction. Nevertheless, during COase catalysis, complex 1 was found to convert 3,5‑ditertarybutyl catechol (3,5-DTBC) to 3,5‑ditertarybutyl quinone (3,5-DTBQ) having greater rate constant, kcat or turn over number (TON) value over complex 2. The generation of reactive intermediates during COase catalysis were accounted by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Through mechanistic approach, we found that H2O2 is the byproduct for both the GOase and COase catalysis, thus, confirming the generation of reactive oxygen species during catalysis. Notably, complex 1 having mono-ligand coordinating atmosphere has superior catalytic activity for both cases in comparison to complex 2, that is having di-ligand environment.

Abstract
Bottom-up construction of efficient active sites in transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) from single molecular building blocks remains one of the most difficult challenges. Herein, we report a bottom-up approach to produce a highly active Cu-N4-C catalyst with well-defined Cu-N4 coordination sites derived from a small molecular copper complex containing Cu-N4 moieties. The Cu-N4 moieties were found to be covalently integrated into graphene sheets to create the Cu-N4 active sites for ORR. Furthermore, the activity was boosted by tuning the structure of active sites. We find that the high ORR activity of the Cu-N4-C catalyst is related to the Cu-N4 center linked to edges of the graphene sheets, where the electronic structure of the Cu center has the right symmetry for the degenerate π* orbital of the O2 molecule. These findings point out the direction for the synthesis of the M-N-C catalysts at the molecular level.

Abstract
Unlike metals with incomplete d-shells such as Pt and Fe, copper (Cu) with a filled d-electron shell is generally regarded as a sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalyst. However, laccase and other copper enzymes could catalyze the ORR efficiently in nature. Inspired by this, we incorporated Cu-Nx cofactors (Cu-N2 and Cu-N4) into graphene encapsulated Co frameworks by direct annealing of MOFs with a post etching process. The bioinspired electrocatalyst exhibits excellent performance and stability for ORR which is comparable to or even better than Pt/C. Meanwhile, it also illustrates a fantabulous performance in a zinc-air battery device. The excellent performance can be ascribed to the abundant atomically dispersed Cu-Nx cofactors in the graphene frameworks confirmed by aberration corrected HAADF-STEM and XAFS analyses. Density functional theory calculations suggest that when Cu atoms are coordinated with the surrounding N atoms, the valence electrons of Cu atoms will transfer to nitrogen atoms, simultaneously tuning the d electronic states near the Fermi level to realize fast ORR kinetics.

Abstract
Water splitting is promising to realize a hydrogen-based society. The practical use of molecular water-splitting catalysts relies on their integration onto electrode materials. We describe herein the immobilization of cobalt corroles on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by four strategies and compare the performance of the resulting hybrids for H2 and O2 evolution. Co corroles can be covalently attached to CNTs with short conjugated linkers (the hybrid is denoted as H1) or with long alkane chains (H2), or can be grafted to CNTs via strong π-π interactions (H3) or via simple adsorption (H4). An activity trend H1≫H3>H2≈H4 is obtained for H2 and O2 evolution, showing the critical role of electron transfer ability on electrocatalysis. Notably, H1 is the first Janus catalyst for both H2 and O2 evolution reactions in pH 0-14 aqueous solutions. Therefore, this work is significant to show potential uses of electrode materials with well-designed molecular catalysts in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
In this paper we analyze the changes in molecular orientation triggered by electrochemical reduction of an iron-containing surfactant in Langmuir-Blodgett films deposited onto gold electrodes. The metallosurfactant [Feiii(LN2O3)] (1) is an established molecular rectifier capable of unidirectional electron transfer between two electrodes. A gradual decrease in the activity is observed in sequential current vs. potential curves upon repeated cycles. Here we evaluate the redox response associated with the reduction of the Feiii/Feii couple in a single monolayer, as well as in a 5-layer LB film of 1. We use polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM IRRAS) to follow structural and orientation changes associated with such applied potential scans. We observe that the reduction of the Fe center becomes increasingly irreversible because an Fe-Ophenolate bond is cleaved. This transformation is accompanied by an almost vertical change in the orientation of metallosurfactant molecules in LB films.

J Inorg Biochem 2017; 179:121-134.

Abstract
A series of tripodal ligands based on the 2-tert-butyl-4-R-6-phenol was synthesized, where R=aldehyde (HL1), R=putrescine-pyrene (HL2) and R=putrescine (HL3). A dinucleating ligand wherein a putrescine group connects two tripodal moieties was also prepared (H2L4). The corresponding copper complexes (1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively) were prepared and characterized. We determined the phenol's pKas in the range 2.47-3.93. The DNA binding constants were determined at 6×106, 5.5×105 and 2.7×106 for 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The complexes display a metal-centered reduction wave at Epc,red=-0.45 to -0.5V vs. saturated calomel electrode, as well as a ligand-centered oxidation wave above 0.57V at pH7. In the presence of ascorbate they promote an efficient cleavage of DNA, with for example a concentration required to cleave 50% of supercoiled DNA of 1.7μM for 2. The nuclease activity is affected by the nature of the R group: putrescine-pyrene≈bis-ligating>putrescine>aldehyde. The species responsible for strand scission is the hydroxyl radical. The cytotoxicity of the complexes was evaluated on bladder cancer cell lines sensitive or resistant to cis-platin. The IC50 of complexes 2 and 4 span over a short range (1.3-2μM) for the two cell lines. They are lower than those of the other complexes (3.1-9.7μM) and cis-platin. The most active compounds block the cell cycle at the G0/1 phase and promote apoptosis.

Abstract
![]()
The
development of high-performance electrocatalytic systems for the controlled
reduction of CO2 to value-added chemicals is a key goal
in emerging renewable energy technologies. The lack of selective and
scalable catalysts in aqueous solution currently hampers the implementation
of such a process. Here, the assembly of a [MnBr(2,2′-bipyridine)(CO)3] complex anchored to a carbon nanotube electrode via a pyrene
unit is reported. Immobilization of the molecular catalyst allows
electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 under fully aqueous conditions
with a catalytic onset overpotential of η = 360 mV, and controlled
potential electrolysis generated more than 1000 turnovers at η
= 550 mV. The product selectivity can be tuned by alteration of the
catalyst loading on the nanotube surface. CO was observed as the main
product at high catalyst loadings, whereas formate was the dominant
CO2 reduction product at low catalyst loadings. Using UV–vis
and surface-sensitive IR spectroelectrochemical techniques, two different
intermediates were identified as responsible for the change in selectivity
of the heterogenized Mn catalyst. The formation of a dimeric Mn0 species at higher surface loading was shown to preferentially
lead to CO formation, whereas at lower surface loading the electrochemical
generation of a monomeric Mn-hydride is suggested to greatly enhance
the production of formate. These results emphasize the advantages
of integrating molecular catalysts onto electrode surfaces for enhancing
catalytic activity while allowing excellent control and a deeper understanding
of the catalytic mechanisms.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic methods for organic synthesis could offer sustainable alternatives to traditional redox reactions, but strategies are needed to enhance the performance of molecular catalysts designed for this purpose. The synthesis of a pyrene-tethered TEMPO derivative (TEMPO=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-N-oxyl) is described, which undergoes facile in situ noncovalent immobilization onto a carbon cloth electrode. Cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis studies demonstrate that the immobilized catalyst exhibits much higher activity relative to 4-acetamido-TEMPO, an electronically similar homogeneous catalyst. In preparative electrolysis experiments with a series of alcohol substrates and the immobilized catalyst, turnover numbers and frequencies approach 2 000 and 4 000 h-1 , respectively. The synthetic utility of the method is further demonstrated in the oxidation of a sterically hindered hydroxymethylpyrimidine precursor to the blockbuster drug, rosuvastatin.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts are critically important for a secure energy future, as they facilitate the conversion between electrical and chemical energy. Molecular catalysts offer precise control of structure that enables understanding of structure-reactivity relationships, which can be difficult to achieve with heterogeneous catalysts. Molecular electrocatalysts can be immobilized on surfaces by covalent bonds or through non-covalent interactions. Advantages of surface immobilization include the need for less catalyst, avoidance of bimolecular decomposition pathways, and easier determination of catalyst lifetime. This Minireview highlights surface immobilization of molecular electrocatalysts for reduction of O2 , oxidation of H2 O, production of H2 , and reduction of CO2 .

Abstract
The conversion of solar energy into chemical energy by the reduction of small molecules provides a promising solution for the effective energy storage and transport. In this manuscript, we have highlighted our recent researches on the catalysis of cobalt-macrocycle complexes for the reduction of O2, proton and CO2. We have successfully clarified the reaction mechanisms of catalytic O2 reduction with cobalt phthalocyanine (Co[Formula: see text](Pc)) and cobalt chlorin (Co[Formula: see text](Ch)) based on detailed kinetic study under homogeneous conditions. The presence of proton-accepting moieties on these macrocyclic ligands enhances the electron-accepting ability, leading to the efficient catalytic two-electron reduction of O2 to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O[Formula: see text] with high stability and less overpotential in acidic solutions. When Co[Formula: see text](Ch) is adsorbed on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and employed as an electrocatalyst, CO2 was successfully reduced to form CO with a Faradaic efficiency of 89% at an applied potential of -1.1 V vs. NHE in an aqueous solution. Finally, photocatalytic H2 evolution was attained from ascorbic acid with Co[Formula: see text](Ch) as a catalyst and [Ru(bpy)3][Formula: see text] (bpy [Formula: see text] 2,2[Formula: see text]-bipyridine) as a photocatalyst via a one-photon two-electron process.
