Pt-N catalytic centres concisely enhance interfacial charge transfer in amines functionalized Pt@MOFs for selective conversion of CO 2 to CH 4. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 672:370-382. [PMID: 38850864 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Improving ligand-to-active metal charge transfer (LAMCT) by finely tuning the organic ligand is a decisive strategy to enhance charge transfer in metal organic frameworks (MOFs)-based catalysts. However, in most MOFs loaded with active metal catalysts, electron transmission encounters massive obstacle at the interface between the two constituents owing to poor LAMCT. Herein, amines (-NH2) functionalized MOFs (NH2-MIL-101(Cr)) encapsulated active metal Pt nanoclusters (NCs) catalysts are synthesized by the polyol reduction method and utilized for the photoreduction of CO2. Surprisingly, the introduction of -NH2 (electron donating) groups within the matrix of MIL-101(Cr) improved the electron migration through the LAMCT process, fostering a synergistic interaction with Pt. The combined experimental analysis exposed the high number of metallic Pt (Pt0) in Pt@NH2-MIL-101(Cr) catalyst through seamless electron shuttling from N of -NH2 group to excited Pt generating versatile hybrid Pt-N catalytic centres. Consequently, these versatile hybrid catalytic centres act as electro-nucleophilic centres, which enable the efficient and selective conversion of CO bond in CO2 to harvest CH4 (131.0 µmol.g-1) and maintain excellent stability and selectivity for consecutive five rounds, superior to Pt@MIL-101(Cr) and most reported catalysts. Our study verified that the precise tuning of organic ligands in MOFs immensely improves the surface-active centres, electron migration, and catalytic selectivity of the excited Pt NCs catalysts encaged inside MOFs through an improved LAMCT pathway.

Abstract
Although photocatalytic H2 production based on semiconductor materials has a wide potential application, it still facing challenges such as slow reaction kinetics or complex synthesis processes. To meet these challenges, the carbon dots loaded black g-C3N4 (CN-B-CDs) was synthesized by simple calcination method to achieve efficient photothermal-assisted photocatalytic H2 production. Photothermal imaging experiments confirmed the photothermal effect of CN-B and CDs as dual heat sources to increase the temperature of the composite system, thus improving the effective separation of photo-generated charges. In addition, multiple photocatalytic H2 production tests exhibited that CN-B-CDs photocatalysts not only have strong stability but also can accommodate a variety of complex water bodies, which displayed the potential for industrial application. This study combined the photothermal effect and the mechanism by which the CDs promote the charge transfer to design a new photocatalytic H2 production system and provided a new scheme for achieving efficient photothermal-assisted photocatalytic H2 production using carbon-based materials.

Abstract
Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly urgent to lower the escalating carbon dioxide (CO2) to reduce greenhouse effect. Fortunately, it is an ideal strategy by using the inexhaustible solar energy as the driving force to manipulate the cycloaddition reaction, the atomic efficiency of which is 100 %. This work represents the first attempt on utilization of rare-earth metal Tb with atomic dispersion, and the structure of Tb coordinated with 4 N-atoms and 2B-atoms was constructed on interconnected carbon hollow spheres. The introduction of electron-deficient B reduces the electron density of Tb, thereby boosting Lewis acidity and promoting the occurrence of ring-opening reaction. The mechanism exploration enunciates that TbN4B2/C is a photothermal synergistic catalyst, the combined action of photogenerated electrons and strong Lewis acidic site of Tb reduces the free energy of the rate-determining step, and then improving the yield of cyclic carbonate up to 739 mmol g-1h-1.

Abstract
Developing efficient and earth-abundant catalysts for CO2 fixation to high value-added chemicals is meaningful but challenging. Styrene carbonate has great market value, but the cycloaddition of CO2 to styrene oxide is difficult due to the high steric hindrance and weak electron-withdrawing ability of the phenyl group. To utilize clean energy (such as optical energy) directly and effectively for CO2 value-added process, we introduce earth-abundant Ti single-atom into the mesoporous nitrogen, oxygen-doped carbon nanosheets (Ti-CNO) by a two-step method. The Ti-CNO exhibits excellent photothermal catalytic activities and stability for cycloaddition of CO2 and styrene oxide to styrene carbonate. Under light irradiation and ambient pressure, an optimal Ti-CNO produces styrene carbonate with a yield of 98.3 %, much higher than CN (27.1 %). In addition, it shows remarkable stability during 10 consecutive cycles. Its enhanced catalytic performance stems from the enhanced photothermal effect and improved Lewis acidic/basic sites exposed by the abundant mesopores. The experiments and theoretical simulations demonstrate the styrene oxide⋅+ and CO2⋅- radicals generated at the Lewis acidic (Tiδ+) and basic sites of Ti-CNO under light irradiation, respectively. This work furnishes a strategy for synthesizing advanced single-atom catalysts for photo-thermal synergistic CO2 fixation to high value products via a cycloaddition pathway.

Abstract
The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals with two or more carbons (C2+) is a promising strategy that cannot only mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions but also reduce the excessive dependence on fossil feedstocks. In recent years, atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADCs), including single-atom catalysts (SACs), dual-atom catalysts (DACs), and single-cluster catalysts (SCCs), emerged as attractive candidates for CO2 fixation reactions due to their unique properties, such as the maximum utilization of active sites, tunable electronic structure, the efficient elucidation of catalytic mechanism, etc. This review provides an overview of significant progress in the synthesis and characterization of ADCs utilized in photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and thermocatalytic conversion of CO2 toward high-value C2+ compounds. To provide insights for designing efficient ADCs toward the C2+ chemical synthesis originating from CO2, the key factors that influence the catalytic activity and selectivity are highlighted. Finally, the relevant challenges and opportunities are discussed to inspire new ideas for the generation of CO2-based C2+ products over ADCs.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis enables direct solar-to-chemical energy conversion aimed at mitigating environmental pollution and producing solar fuels and chemicals in a green and sustainable approach, and efficient, robust, and low-cost photocatalysts are the heart of artificial photosynthesis systems. As an emerging new class of cocatalytic materials, single-atom catalysts (SACs) and dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have received a great deal of current attention due to their maximal atom utilization and unique photocatalytic properties, whereas noble-metal-free ones impart abundance, availability, and cost-effectiveness allowing for scalable implementation. This review outlines the fundamental principles and synthetic methods of SACs and DACs and summarizes the most recent advances in SACs (Co, Fe, Cu, Ni, Bi, Al, Sn, Er, La, Ba, etc.) and DACs (CuNi, FeCo, InCu, KNa, CoCo, CuCu, etc.) based on non-noble metals, confined on an arsenal of organic or inorganic substrates (polymeric carbon nitride, metal oxides, metal sulfides, metal-organic frameworks, carbon, etc.) acting as versatile scaffolds in solar-light-driven photocatalytic reactions, including hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, methane conversion, organic synthesis, nitrogen fixation, hydrogen peroxide production, and environmental remediation. The review concludes with the challenges, opportunities, and future prospects of noble-metal-free SACs and DACs for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
A single-holed cobalt - nitrogen - carbon (Co - N - C) hollow structure nanozyme has been fabricated by in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF - 67) on the polystyrene (PS) sphere and following treatment by high-temperature carbonization. The Co - N - C nanostructure mimics the activity of oxidase and can activate O2 into reactive oxygen species (ROS), giving a remarkable enhancement on the chemiluminescence (CL) signal of luminol - O2 reaction. The Co - N - C oxidase mimic has further been exploited in the biosensing field by the determination of the activity of β - galactosidase (β - gal). The CL method for β - gal activity has a linear range of 0.5 mU·L-1 to 5.0 U·L-1, a detection limit of 0.167 mU·L-1, and the precision of 3.1% (5.0 U·L-1, n = 11). This method has been employed to assess inhibitor screening of β - gal and determine activity of β - gal in spiked human serum samples.

Abstract
The cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides driven by light irradiation is an intriguing approach to preparing cyclic carbonates. However, it remains a great challenge to achieve high photocatalytic efficiency in the absence of a cocatalyst. Herein, we explored a metal-organic-framework (MOF)-templated pyrolysis strategy to prepare uniform bromine ions/nitrogen-codoped carbon materials (Br-CN) as low-cost photocatalysts for CO2 cycloaddition. The optimal catalyst Br-CN-1-550 can be used as a photocatalyst to catalyze CO2 cycloaddition, remarkably reducing the energy consumption. As a result of its benefits of high photothermal efficiency and rich nucleophilic sites (Br ions), BN-CN-1-550 affords a 9 times higher yield of 4-(chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-one than that of the ZIF-8-derived CN under cocatalyst-free conditions and light irradiation (300 mW·cm-2 full-spectrum irradiation, 10 h). This strategy provides a cost-effective way to obtain cyclic carbonate under cocatalyst-free conditions.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) present substantial potential in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions; however, inferior accessibility of single-atom sites to CO2 limits the overall CO2RR performances. Herein, we propose to improve the accessibility between In sites and CO2 through the construction of a three-dimensional (3D) porous indium single-atom catalyst (In1/NC-3D). The NaCl template-mediated synthesis strategy generates the unique 3D porous nanostructure of In1/NC-3D. Multiple characterizations validate that In1/NC-3D exhibits increased exposure of active sites and enhanced CO2 transport/adsorption capacity compared to the bulk In1/NC, thus improving accessibility of active sites to CO2. As a result, the In1/NC-3D presents superior CO2RR performance to the bulk In1/NC, with a partial current density of formate of 67.24 mA cm-2 at -1.41 V, relative to a reversible hydrogen electrode (vs RHE). The CO2RR performances with high formate selectivity at a large current density also outperform most reported In-based SACs. Importantly, the In1/NC-3D is demonstrated to maintain an FEformate of >82% at -66.83 mA·cm-2 over 21 h. This work highlights the design of a 3D porous single-atom catalyst for efficient CO2RR, promoting the development of advanced catalysts toward advanced energy conversion.

Abstract
Developing efficient heterogeneous catalysts for chemical fixation of CO2 to produce high-value-added chemicals under mild conditions is highly desired but still challenging. Herein, we first reported an approach to prepare a novel catalyst (Ag@NCNFs), featuring Ag nanoparticles (NPs) embedded within porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (NCNFs), via growing a Ag metal-organic framework on one-dimensional electrospun nanofibers followed by pyrolysis. Benefiting from the abundant nitrogen species and porous structure, Ag NPs is well dispersed in the obtained Ag@NCNFs. Catalytic studies indicated that Ag@NCNFs exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the three-component coupling reaction of CO2, secondary amines, and propargylic alcohols to generate β-oxopropylcarbamates under mild conditions with a turnover number (TON) of 16.2, and it can be recycled and reused at least 5 times without an obvious decline in catalytic activity. The reaction mechanism was clearly clarified by FTIR, NMR, 13C isotope labeling, control experiments, and density functional theory calculations. The results suggest that Ag@NCNFs and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene can synergistically activate propargylic alcohol to react with CO2, and then the generated α-alkylidene cyclic carbonate was invaded by secondary amine to produce β-oxopropylcarbamate. Importantly, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental and theoretical investigation on this reaction.

Further, structural tunability of MOFs by following the principles of reticular chemistry, the MOFs can be functionalized for the high adsorption performance as well as adsorptive removal of target materials. However, there are still some major concerns associated with MOFs limiting their commercialization as promising adsorbents for waste-water treatment. The cost, toxicity and regenerability are the major issues to be addressed for MOFs to get insightful results. In this article, we have concise the current strategies to enhance the adsorption capacity of MOFs during the water-treatment for the removal of toxic dyes, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals. Further, we have also discussed the role of metallic nodes, linkers and associated functional groups for effective removal of toxic water pollutants. In addition to conformist overview, we have critically analyzed the MOFs as adsorbents in terms of toxicity, cost and regenerability. These factors are utmost important to address before commercialization of MOFs as adsorbents for water-treatment. Finally, some future perspectives are discussed to give directions for potential research.

Abstract
Carbon-based single-atom catalysts, a promising candidate in electrocatalysis, offer insights into electron-donating effects of metal center on adjacent atoms. Herein, we present a practical strategy to rationally design a model catalyst with a single zinc (Zn) atom coordinated with nitrogen and sulfur atoms in a multilevel carbon matrix. The Zn site exhibits an atomic interface configuration of ZnN4S1, where Zn's electron injection effect enables thermal-neutral hydrogen adsorption on neighboring atoms, pushing the activity boundaries of carbon electrocatalysts toward electrochemical hydrogen evolution to an unprecedented level. Experimental and theoretical analyses confirm the low-barrier Volmer-Tafel mechanism of proton reduction, while the multishell hollow structures facilitate the hydrogen evolution even at high current intensities. This work provides insights for understanding the actual active species during hydrogen evolution reaction and paves the way for designing high-performance electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has significantly advanced precise tumor therapy, providing essential technical blessing for active drug accumulation, targeted consignment, and mitigation of noxious side effects. To enhance anti-tumor efficacy, the integration of multiple therapeutic modalities has garnered significant attention. Here, we designed an innovative CoFeSe2 @DMSA@FA nanocatalyst with Se vacancies (abbreviated as CFSDF), which exhibits synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), leading to amplified tumor oxidative stress and enhanced photothermal effects. The multifunctional CFSDF nanocatalyst exhibits the remarkable ability to catalyze the Fenton reaction within the acidic tumor microenvironment, efficiently converting hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) into highly harmful hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH). Moreover, the nanocatalyst effectively diminishes GSH levels and ameliorates intracellular oxidative stress. The incorporation of FA modification enables CFSDF to evade immune detection and selectively target tumor tissues. Numerous in vitro and in vivo investigations have consistently demonstrated that CFSDF optimizes its individual advantages and significantly enhances therapeutic efficiency through synergistic effects of multiple therapeutic modalities, offering a valuable and effective approach to cancer treatment.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) represent a class of composite membranes that seamlessly integrate the properties of MOF fillers and polymer matrix into a hybrid system and have been widely used in countless advanced technologies. However, there remains a need for scalable and simple manufacturing techniques that can fabricate a MOF-based MMM with uniform dispersion. Herein, a series of MMMs with well-dispersed MOFs are constructed by a soft spray technique. In brief, by uniformly spraying metal ions onto the surface of a mixed solution containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and organic ligands, a free-standing MMM is synthesized at the miscible liquid-liquid interface, facilitated by the dual function of metal ions. Moreover, soft spray technology can also introduce multifunctional materials into the MMM to customize performance. We have successfully introduced carbon black into a MOF-based MMM by soft spray, resulting in MMMs with excellent photothermal effects. The resulted MOF-based MMM exhibits favorable catalytic performance in the condensation reaction of benzaldehyde with primary amines, and the MOF-based MMM modified with carbon black significantly boosts the endothermic CO2 conversion. The work opens a new avenue for the development of MOF-based MMMs with a promising future.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with specific N-coordinated configurations immobilized on the carbon substrates have recently been verified to effectively alleviate the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) in lithium-sulfur (Li─S) batteries. Herein, a versatile molten salt (KCl/ZnCl2 )-mediated pyrolysis strategy is demonstrated to fabricate Zn SACs composed of well-defined Zn-N4 sites embedded into porous carbon sheets with rich pyridine-N defects (Zn─N/CS). The electrochemical kinetic analysis and theoretical calculations reveal the critical roles of Zn-N4 active sites and surrounding pyridine-N defects in enhancing adsorption toward LiPS intermediates and catalyzing their liquid-solid conversion. It is confirmed by reducing the overpotential of the rate-determining step of Li2 S2 to Li2 S and the energy barrier for Li2 S decomposition, thus the Zn─N/CS guarantees fast redox kinetics between LiPSs and Li2 S products. As a proof of concept demonstration, the assembled Li─S batteries with the Zn─N/CS-based sulfur cathode deliver a high specific capacity of 1132 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and remarkable capacity retention of 72.2% over 800 cycles at 2 C. Furthermore, a considerable areal capacity of 6.14 mAh cm-2 at 0.2 C can still be released with a high sulfur loading of 7.0 mg cm-2 , highlighting the practical applications of the as-obtained Zn─N/CS cathode in Li─S batteries.

Abstract
Currently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) research mainly focuses on transition metal atoms as active centers. Due to their delocalized s/p-bands, the s-block main group metal elements are typically regarded as catalytically inert. Herein, an s-block potassium SAC (K-N-C) with K-N4 configuration is reported for the first time, which exhibits excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and stability under alkaline conditions. Specifically, the half-wave potential (E1/2 ) is up to 0.908 V, and negligible changes in E1/2 are observed after 10,000 cycles. In addition, the K-N-C offers an exceptional power density of 158.1 mW cm-2 and remarkable durability up to 420 h in a Zn-air battery. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations show that K-N-C has bifunctional active K and C sites, can optimize the free energy of ORR reaction intermediates, and adjust the rate-determining steps. The crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP) results showed that the s orbitals of K played a major role in the adsorption of intermediates, which was different from the d orbitals in transition metals. This work significantly guides the rational design and catalytic mechanism research of s-block SACs with high ORR activity.

Abstract
Herein, we designed/developed a mixed fluorescence system with europium metal-organic framework (EDB) and zinc metal-organic framework (ZBNB). At the 270-nm excitation wavelength, the EDB-ZBNB dually emitted at 425 and 615 nm and displayed blue solution under 365-nm UV lamp. When HOCl was fortified, the 425-nm blue emission dropped progressively, while the 615-nm red emission was relatively stable. Upon addition of ClO-, the shortened fluorescence lifetime demonstrated that the quenched 425-nm fluorescence of ZBNB was owing to the occurrence of dynamic quenching effect. Besides, amino groups are protonated in water to form -NH3+, which interact with ClO- to form hydrogen bonds, reduce the distance between -NH3+ and ClO-, produce energy transfer and result in fluorescence quenching. The ratiometric fluoroprobe provided a significant color change from blue to red, making HOCl detection visual and rapid. This fluorescent probe overcome the disadvantage of conventional redox-based fluorescent probes that can be interfered by MnO4- and other oxidants with stronger oxidizing capacity than free ClO-. Furthermore, a smartphone-based portable sensing platform was developed based on EDB-ZBNB. By using a "Thingidentify" software on smartphone, the sensing platform was used to detect HOCl in waters with a low detection limit of 28.0 nM and the fortified recoveries of 98.87-103.60%. Thus, this study provides a novel and promising platform for the detection of free ClO- in monitoring water quality.

Abstract
Zn-N-C catalysts have garnered attention as potential electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, their intrinsic limitations, including poor activity and a low density of active sites, continue to hinder their electrocatalytic performance. In this study, we have devised a dual-template strategy for the synthesis of Zn, N, S co-doped nanoporous carbon-based catalysts (Zn-N/S-C(S, Z)) with a substantial specific surface area and a graded pore structure. The introduction of S enhances electron localization around the Zn-Nx active centers, facilitating interactions with oxygen-containing substances. The resulting Zn-N/S-C(S, Z) sample exhibits outstanding performance in an alkaline solution, demonstrating a half-wave potential of 0.89 V. This value surpasses that of commercial Pt/C by 40 mV. Furthermore, when combined with RuO2 (Zn-N/S-C(S, Z) + RuO2), the catalyst demonstrates exceptional performance in a Zn-air battery, offering an open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.47 V and a peak power density of 290.8 mW cm-2. This study paves the way for the development of highly dispersed and highly active Zn-metal site catalysts, potentially replacing traditional Pt-based catalysts in various electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Precise manipulation of the coordination environment of single-atom catalysts (SACs), particularly the simultaneous engineering of multiple coordination shells, is crucial to maximize their catalytic performance but remains challenging. Herein, we present a general two-step strategy to fabricate a series of hollow carbon-based SACs featuring asymmetric Zn-N2 O2 moieties simultaneously modulated with S atoms in higher coordination shells of Zn centers (n≥2; designated as Zn-N2 O2 -S). Systematic analyses demonstrate that the synergetic effects between the N2 O2 species in the first coordination shell and the S atoms in higher coordination shells lead to robust discrete Zn sites with the optimal electronic structure for selective O2 reduction to H2 O2 . Remarkably, the Zn-N2 O2 moiety with S atoms in the second coordination shell possesses a nearly ideal Gibbs free energy for the key OOH* intermediate, which favors the formation and desorption of OOH* on Zn sites for H2 O2 generation. Consequently, the Zn-N2 O2 -S SAC exhibits impressive electrochemical H2 O2 production performance with high selectivity of 96 %. Even at a high current density of 80 mA cm-2 in the flow cell, it shows a high H2 O2 production rate of 6.924 mol gcat -1 h-1 with an average Faradaic efficiency of 93.1 %, and excellent durability over 65 h.

Abstract
Hydrogen generation by photocatalysis is one of the most effective approaches to rationally utilize solar energy. In this work, we designed a biphasic photothermal-photocatalytic system. Spherical g-C3N4 (HCN) was grown on the carbonized wood (CW) by a one-step hydrothermal method. The carbonization layer in carbonized wood/spherical g-C3N4 (CW-HCN) system was able to further enhance the photothermal conversion of water steam production by improving the absorption of solar radiation. In addition, the temperature was increased due to photothermal effect, which was beneficial for H2 evolution reaction. Moreover, the carbonized layer could act as a reservoir for photogenerated electrons on g-C3N4, which could accelerate the charge separation. Benefiting from all above-mentioned merits, the H2 evolution rate of CW-HCN system under simulated sunlight reached 2700.18 μmol/m2/h, which was 42.23 times higher than that of pristine g-C3N4 powder directly dispersed in water. In addition, the CW-HCN system exhibited broad applicability, maintaining the H2 evolution activity of 2013.29 μmol/m2/h with seawater as water resource. This work provided a new strategy for highly efficient H2 evolution.

Abstract
Thermocatalysis of CO2 into high valuable products is an efficient and green method for mitigating global warming and other environmental problems, of which Noble-metal-free metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of the most promising heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 thermocatalysis, and many excellent researches have been published. Hence, this review focuses on the valuable products obtained from various CO2 conversion reactions catalyzed by noble-metal-free MOFs, such as cyclic carbonates, oxazolidinones, carboxylic acids, N-phenylformamide, methanol, ethanol, and methane. We classified these published references according to the types of products, and analyzed the methods for improving the catalytic efficiency of MOFs in CO2 reaction. The advantages of using noble-metal-free MOF catalysts for CO2 conversion were also discussed along the text. This review concludes with future perspectives on the challenges to be addressed and potential research directions. We believe that this review will be helpful to readers and attract more scientists to join the topic of CO2 conversion.

Abstract
In order to explore the catalytic effect of different Lewis acid sites (LASs) in the CO2 cycloaddition reaction, different secondary building units and N-rich organic ligand 4,4',4″-s-triazine-1,3,5-triyltri-p-aminobenzoate were assembled to construct six reported MOF materials: [Cu3(tatab)2(H2O)3]·8DMF·9H2O (1), [Cu3(tatab)2(H2O)3]·7.5H2O (2), [Zn4O(tatab)2]·3H2O·17DMF (3), [In3O(tatab)2(H2O)3](NO3)·15DMA (4), [Zr6O4(OH)7(tatab)(Htatab)3(H2O)3]·xGuest (5), and [Zr6O4(OH)4(tatab)4(H2O)3]·xGuest (6) (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide, and DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide). Large pore sizes of compound 2 enhance the concentration of substrates, and the multi-active sites inside its framework synergistically promote the process of the CO2 cycloaddition reaction. Such advantages endow compound 2 with the best catalytic performance among the six compounds and surpass many of the reported MOF-based catalysts. Meanwhile, the comparison of the catalytic efficiency indicated that Cu-paddlewheel and Zn4O display better catalytic performances than In3O and Zr6 cluster. The experiments investigate the catalytic effects of LAS types and prove that it is feasible to improve CO2 fixation property by introducing multi-active sites into MOFs.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SANs) with highly exposed active sites and remarkable catalytic activity have shown noteworthy practicability in heterogeneous catalysis-based bioassay. Nevertheless, most of them were reported with peroxidase-like activity and ordinary loading capability. It is still a challenge to prepare high-loading SANs with desirable superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity. In this work, Mn SAN was successfully confined in the frameworks of Prussian blue analogues formed on Ti3C2 MXene sheets with the assistance of massive surfactants, which show a superior loading efficiency of 13.5 wt % (typically <2.0 wt %). The prepared Mn SAN exhibits desirable superoxide radical anion elimination capability because of its SOD-like activity. Moreover, due to the wide-spectrum absorption behavior of the carriers, Mn SAN shows a synergistically quenching efficiency up to 98.89% on the emission of the reactive oxygen species-mediated chemiluminescent (CL) system. Inspired by these features, a CL quenching method was developed on a lateral flow test strip platform by utilizing Mn SAN as a signal quencher and acetamiprid as a model analyte. The method for detecting acetamiprid shows a detection range of 1.0-10,000 pg mL-1 and a limit of detection of 0.3 pg mL-1. Its accuracy has been validated by detecting acetamiprid in medicinal herbs with acceptable recoveries. This work opens an avenue for preparing SANs with a surfactant-assisted protocol and pioneers the study of SANs with SOD-like activity in bioassay.

Abstract
Herein, we designed and fabricated hollow N-doped carbon polyhedrons with atomically dispersed Zn species (Zn@HNCPs) through a topo-conversion strategy by utilising metal-organic frameworks as precursors. Zn@HNCPs achieved efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of sulfaguanidine (SG) and phthalyl sulfacetamide (PSA) sulfonamides through the high intrinsic catalytic activity of the Zn-N4 sites and excellent diffusion from the hollow porous nanostructures. The combination of the novel Zn@HNCPs with two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets resulted in improved synergistic electrocatalytic performance for the simultaneous monitoring of SG and PSA. Therefore, the detection limit of SG for this technique is much lower than those of other reported techniques; to the best of our knowledge, this is the first detection approach for PSA. Moreover, these electrocatalysts show promise for the quantification of SG and PSA in aquatic products. Our insights and findings can serve as guidelines for the development of highly active electrocatalysts for application in next-generation food analysis sensors.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed Zn moieties are efficient active sites for accelerating the electrode kinetics of carbons for sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs), but the low utilization and symmetric configuration of Zn single-atom greatly hamper the Na ion storage capability. Herein, a molecular design strategy is employed to synthesize high-density Zn single atoms with asymmetric Zn-N3 S coordination embedded in nitrogen/sulfur codoped carbon (Zn-N3 S-NSC). The key to this strategy lies in the Zn power-catalyzed condensation of trithiocyanuric acid molecules to generate S-doped g-C3 N4 , which can in situ coordinate with Zn sources to form Zn-N3 S moieties during pyrolysis. By virtue of the highly exposed Zn-N3 S moieties, Zn-N3 S-NSC presents ultrahigh reactivity, efficient electron transfer, and decreased ion diffusion barriers for SIHCs, rendering an impressive energy density of 215 Wh kg-1 and a maximum power density of 15625 W kg-1 . Moreover, the pouch cell displays a high capacity of 279 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles. This work provides a new avenue for the regulation of the coordination configuration of single metal atoms in carbons toward high-performance electrochemical energy technologies at the molecular level.

Abstract
With the development of industrial and agricultural, a large amount of nitrate is produced, which not only disrupts the natural nitrogen cycle, but also endangers public health. Among the commonly used nitrate treatment techniques, the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (eNRR) has attracted extensive attention due to its mild conditions, pollution-free nature, and other advantages. An in-depth understanding of the eNRR mechanism is the prerequisite for designing highly efficient electrocatalysts. However, some traditional characterization tools cannot comprehensively and deeply study the reaction process. It is necessary to develop in situ and operando techniques to reveal the reaction mechanism at the time-resolved and atomic level. This review discusses the eNRR mechanism and summarizes the possible in situ techniques used in eNRR. A detailed introduction of various in situ techniques and their help in understanding the reaction mechanism is provided. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities in this research area are discussed and highlighted.

Lanthanum(III) supported on the magnetic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticle (La@MON) has been described as an efficient, simple, and durable heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 5-membered cyclic carbonates from carbon dioxide (CO2) and epoxides. Under optimized reaction conditions, various terminal epoxides have been converted to the corresponding carbonates in the presence of 0.3 mol% La@MON and 0.5 mol% tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) as co-catalyst at relatively mild reaction conditions. It was also found that La@MON catalysts had significantly higher catalytic activity than some selected reference catalysts, which can be explained by the abundance of lanthanum(III) species acting as Lewis acidic sites for activating both carbon dioxide and epoxide molecules, along with the fact that the catalyst channels are short and provided facile mass transfer. The catalyst showed good reusability for at least five reaction cycles while the magnetic core of the catalyst helps the easy separation of the catalyst by just using an external magnet.

Abstract
As a straightforward way to fix solar energy, photo/photothermal catalysis with semiconductor provides a promising way to settle the energy shortage and environmental crisis in many fields, especially in clean energy conversion. Topologically porous heterostructures (TPHs), featured with well-defined pores and mainly composed by the derivatives of some precursors with specific morphology, are a major part of hierarchical materials in photo/photothermal catalysis and provide a versatile platform to construct efficient photocatalysts for their enhanced light absorption, accelerated charges transfer, improved stability, and promoted mass transportation. Therefore, a comprehensive and timely review on the advantages and recent applications of the TPHs is of great importance to forecast the potential applications and research trend in the future. This review initially demonstrates the advantages of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis. Then the universal classifications and design strategies of TPHs are emphasized. Besides, the applications and mechanisms of photo/photothermal catalysis in hydrogen evolution from water splitting and COx hydrogenation over TPHs are carefully reviewed and highlighted. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis are also critically discussed.

Abstract
The C-N bond cleavage represents one kind of important organic and biochemical transformation, which has attracted great interest in recent years. The oxidative cleavage of C-N bonds in N,N-dialkylamines into N-alkylamines has been well documented, but it is challenging in the further oxidative cleavage of C-N bonds in N-alkylamines into primary amines due to the thermally unfavorable release of α-position H from N-Cα-H and the paralleling side reactions. Herein, a biomass-derived single Zn atom catalyst (ZnN4-SAC) was discovered to be a robust heterogeneous non-noble catalyst for the oxidative cleavage of C-N bonds in N-alkylamines with O2 molecules. Experimental results and DFT calculation revealed that ZnN4-SAC not only activates O2 to generate superoxide radicals (·O2 -) for the oxidation of N-alkylamines to generate imine intermediates (C=N), but the single Zn atoms also served as the Lewis acid sites to promote the cleavage of C=N bonds in imine intermediates, including the first addition of H2O to generate α-hydroxylamine intermediates and the following C-N bond cleavage via a H atom transfer process.

Abstract
The incorporation of Lewis acid-base sites in catalysts has been considered as a significant approach to fabricating bifunctional catalysts with efficient catalytic activity for CO2 fixation. In this paper, a series of Hafnium-based metal-organic frameworks (Hf-MOFs), NU-912(Hf) and NU-912-X(Hf)-X (X = -NH2, -Br, -CN, and -I) derivatives assembled by Lewis acidic Hf6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(H2O)4(OH)4 (Hf6) clusters and Lewis base-attached organic linkers, are successfully synthesized by a facile ligand functionalization method. These isostructural Hf-MOFs, which exhibit diamond channels of 1.3 nm diameter, great chemical stability, and CO2 adsorption capacity, have been evaluated as catalysts for the CO2 cycloaddition reaction with epoxides. Catalytic experiments reveal that the micropore environments of these MOFs have an outstanding impact on catalytic activity. Remarkably, NU-912(Hf)-I serves as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for this catalytic reaction under mild conditions due to the high density of Lewis acid Hf6 cluster centers and strong Lewis base functional groups, surpassing most of the reported MOF-based catalysts.

Abstract
CO2 cycloaddition with epoxides is a key catalytic procedure for CO2 utilization. Several metal-based catalysts with cocatalysts are developed for photo-driven CO2 cycloaddition, while facing difficulties in product purification and continuous reaction. Here, poly(ionic liquid)s are proposed as metal-free catalysts for photo-driven CO2 cycloaddition without cocatalysts. A series of poly(ionic liquid)s with donor-acceptor segments are fabricated and their photo-driven catalytic performance (conversion rate of 83.5% for glycidyl phenyl ether) outstrips (≈4.9 times) their thermal-driven catalytic performance (17.2%) at the same temperature. Mechanism studies confirm that photo-induced charge separation is promoted by the donor-acceptor segments and can accelerate the CO2 cycloaddition reaction. This work paves the way for the further use of poly(ionic liquid)s as catalysts in photo-driven CO2 cycloaddition.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to investigate the cobalt porphyrin-catalyzed electro-reduction of CO2 to CO in an aqueous solution. The results suggest that CoII -porphyrin (CoII -L) undertakes a ligand-based reduction to generate the active species CoII -L⋅- , where the CoII center antiferromagnetically interacts with the ligand radical anion. CoII -L⋅- then performs a nucleophilic attack on CO2 , followed by protonation and a reduction to give CoII -L-COOH. An intermolecular proton transfer leads to the heterolytic cleavage of the C-O bond, producing intermediate CoII -L-CO. Subsequently, CO is released from CoII -L-CO, and CoII -L is regenerated to catalyze the next cycle. The rate-determining step of this CO2 RR is the nucleophilic attack on CO2 by CoII -L⋅- , with a total barrier of 20.7 kcal mol-1 . The competing hydrogen evolution reaction is associated with a higher total barrier. A computational investigation regarding the substituent effects of the catalyst indicates that the CoPor-R3 complex is likely to display the highest activity and selectivity as a molecular catalyst.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 as a C1 source into value-added products is an attractive alternative in view of the green synthesis. Among the reported approaches, the cyclization reaction of aziridines with CO2 is of great significance since the generated N-containing cyclic skeletons are extensively found in pharmaceutical chemistry and industrial production. However, a low turnover number (TON) and homogeneous catalysts are often involved in this catalytic system. Herein, one novel copper-organic framework {[Cu2(L4-)(H2O)2]·3DMF·2H2O}n (1) (H4L = 2'-fluoro-[1,1':4',1″-Terphenyl]-3,3″,5,5″-tetracarboxylic acid) assembled by nanosized [Cu12] cages was successfully synthesized and structurally characterized, which exhibits high CO2/N2 selectivity due to the strong interactions between CO2 and open Cu(II) sites and ligands in the framework. Catalytic investigations suggest that 1 as a heterogeneous catalyst can effectively catalyze the cyclization of aziridines with CO2, and the TON can reach a record value of 90.5. Importantly, 1 displays excellent chemical stability, which can be recycled at least five times. The combination explorations of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C-isotope labeling experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) clearly uncover the mechanism of this aziridine/CO2 coupling reaction system, in which 1 and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) can highly activate the substrate molecule, and the synergistic catalytic effect between them can greatly reduce the reaction energy barrier from 51.7 to 36.2 kcal/mol.

Abstract
In the present work, a highly sensitive sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was developed by preparing N-doped hollow mesoporous nanocarbon spheres/gold hybrids (NHMN/Au) hybridsas sensing platformand Au/ferrocene (Au/Fc) as signal amplifiers. The large surface area and high conductivity as well as good biocompatibility of NHMN/Au can increase the loading of primary antibody (Ab1) and accelerate the electron transport rate of the electrode surface, while Au can carry immobilized secondary antibodies (Ab2) and Fc derivative (Fc-SH).By using Fc-SH as response probe, the experiments show that the peak current of probe could increase after occurring the specific recognition of Ab1-CEA-Ab2, thus a novel sandwich-type immunosensor of CEA was developed. Finally, the proposed method for CEA detection was applied in human serum and the obtained results are satisfactory, indicating the developed method has important clinical applications for CEA determination.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a novel class of crystalline inorganic-organic hybrid materials with tunable semiconducting behavior. MOFs have potential for application in photocatalysis to produce sustainable solar fuels, owing to their unique structural advantages (such as clarity and modifiability) that can facilitate a deeper understanding of the structure-activity relationship in photocatalysis. This review takes the photocatalytic active sites as a particular perspective, summarizing the progress of MOF-based photocatalysis for solar fuel production; mainly including three categories of solar-chemical conversions, photocatalytic water splitting to hydrogen fuel, photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction to hydrocarbon fuels, and photocatalytic nitrogen fixation to high-energy fuel carriers such as ammonia. This review focuses on the types of active sites in MOF-based photocatalysts and discusses their enhanced activity based on the well-defined structure of MOFs, offering deep insights into MOF-based photocatalysis.

Abstract
The exploration of electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity and long-term stability for electrochemical energy conversion is significant yet remains challenging. Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-derived superstructures are a source of atomic-site-containing electrocatalysts. These atomic sites anchor the guest encapsulation and self-assembly of aspheric polyhedral particles produced using microreactor fabrication. This review provides an overview of ZIF-derived superstructures by highlighting some of the key structural types, such as open carbon cages, 1D superstructures, hollow structures, and the interconversion of superstructures. The fundamentals and representative structures are outlined to demonstrate the role of superstructures in the construction of materials with atomic sites, such as single- and dual-atom materials. Then, the roles of ZIF-derived single-atom sites for the electroreduction of CO2 and electrochemical synthesis of H2 O2 are discussed, and their electrochemical performance for energy conversion is outlined. Finally, the perspective on advancing single- and dual-atom electrode-based electrochemical processes with enhanced redox activity and a low-impedance charge-transfer pathway for cathodes is provided. The challenges associated with ZIF-derived superstructures for electrochemical energy conversion are discussed.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) hold great promise for highly efficient heterogeneous catalysis, yet the practical applications require the development of high-density active sites with flexible geometric structures. The lack of understanding in the dynamic formation process of single atoms in the host framework has been plaguing the controllable synthesis of next generation SACs. Here using Co-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a starting substrate, we fully elucidated the formation of high-density Pt single atoms with inter-site interactions in derived Co3 O4 host. The cation exchange process and dynamic evolution of Pt-Pt interactions, organic ligand cleavage and Pt-oxygen coordination formation during the pyrolysis process have been unambiguously interpreted by a series of in situ/ex situ spectroscopic measurements and theoretical computation. These findings would direct the synthesis of high-density SACs with metal-metal interactions, which demonstrate significantly enhanced structural flexibility and catalytic properties.

Abstract
The carbon dioxide (CO2 ) cycloaddition of epoxides to cyclic carbonates is of great industrial importance owing to the high economical values of its products. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have great potential in CO2 cycloaddition by virtue of their high atom utilization efficiency and desired activity, but they generally suffer from poor reaction stability and catalytic activity arising from the weak interaction between the active centers and the supports. In this work, Ir single atoms stably anchored on the WO3 support (Ir1 -WO3 ) are developed with a strong electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI). Superior CO2 cycloaddition is realized in the Ir1 -WO3 catalyst via the EMSI effect: 100% conversion efficiency for the CO2 cycloaddition of styrene oxide to styrene carbonate after 15 h at 40 °C and excellent stability with no degradation even after ten reaction cycles for a total of more than 150 h. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the EMSI effect results in significant charge redistribution between the Ir single atoms and the WO3 support, and consequently lowers the energy barrier associated with epoxide ring opening. This work furnishes new insights into the catalytic mechanism of CO2 cycloaddition and would guide the design of stable SACs for efficient CO2 cycloaddition reactions.

Abstract
The rational design for transition metals-based carbon nano-materials as efficient electrocatalysts still remains a crucial challenge for economical electrochemical hydrogen production. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as attractive electrocatalysts are typically activated by non-metal dopant to promote catalytic performance. Metals doping or metal/non-metal co-doping of CNTs, however, are rarely explored. Herein, this work rationally designs bimetal oxide templates of ZnCo2 O4 for heterogeneously doping Zn and N into Co nanoparticles embedded carbon nanotubes (Co@Zn-N-CNTs). During the formation of CNTs, Zn atoms volatilize from ZnCo2 O4 and in situ dope into the carbon skeleton. In particular, owing to the low electronegativity of Zn, the electrons aptly transfer from Zn to carbon atoms, which generate a high electron density for the carbon layers and offer more preponderant catalytic sites for hydrogen reduction. The Co@Zn-N-CNTs catalyst exhibits enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction activity in 0.5 m H2 SO4 electrolyte, with a low onset potential of -20 mV versus RHE at 1 mA cm-2 , an overpotential of 67 mV at 10 mA cm-2 , a small Tafel slope of 52.1 mV dec-1 , and persistent long-term stability. This study provides brand-new insights into the utilization of Zn as electronic regulator and activity promoter toward the design of high-efficiency electrocatalysts.
