Abstract
Despite their potential relevance as molecular models for industrial and biological catalysis, well-defined mononuclear iron carbide complexes are unknown, in part due to the limited number of appropriate C1 synthons. Here, we show the ability of the cyaphide anion (C≡P-) to serve as a C1 source. The high spin (S = 2) cyaphide complex PhB(tBuIm)3Fe-C≡P (PhB(tBuIm)3- = phenyl(tris(3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene)borate) is readily accessed using the new cyaphide transfer reagent [Mg(DippNacNac)(CP)]2 (DippNacNac = CH{C(CH3)N(Dipp)}2 and Dipp = 2,6-di(iso-propyl)phenyl). Phosphorus atom abstraction is effected by the three-coordinate Mo(III) complex Mo(NtBuAr)3 (Ar = 3,5-Me2C6H3), which produces the known phosphide (tBuArN)3Mo≡P along with a transient iron carbide complex PhB(tBuIm)3Fe≡C. Electronic structure calculations reveal that PhB(tBuIm)3Fe≡C adopts a doublet ground state with nonzero spin density on the carbide ligand. While isolation of this complex is thwarted by rapid dimerization to afford the corresponding diiron ethynediyl complex, the carbide can be intercepted by styrene to provide an iron alkylidene.

Influence of Configurational Isomerism of Pyridine π Bridge in Donor-π Bridge-Acceptor Type Covalent Triazine Frameworks on The Photocatalytic Performance. Chem Asian J 2024; 19:e202400556. [PMID: 38937267 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202400556] [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: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) involving a donor-π bridge-acceptor (D-π-A) structure are considered one of the most promising photocatalytic materials, in which the π bridge is known to play an important role in influencing the photocatalytic performance. So far, much effort has been directed at the designing of the different π bridge structure to facilitate the photo-induced charge separation. However, the orientation of the π bridge units (configurational isomerism) has not been considered. In this paper, a pair of pyridine-bridged D-π-A type CTFs, named TFA-P1-CTF and TFA-P2-CTF, were designed to investigate how the orientation of the π bridge would influence their performance in the photocatalytic oxidation of olefins into carbonyl compounds. Interestingly, due to the superior charge separation capability, TFA-P2-CTF was found to be able to catalyze the reaction more efficiently than TFA-P1-CTF. Our study eventually provided a guide for the design of D-π-A type CTFs as high-performance photocatalytic materials via tuning the configurational isomerism of the π bridge unit for use in chemical transformations.

Abstract
CO2 emissions have been steadily increasing and have been a major contributor for climate change compelling nations to take decisive action fast. The average global temperature could reach 1.5 °C by 2035 which could cause a significant impact on the environment, if the emissions are left unchecked. Several strategies have been explored of which carbon capture is considered the most suitable for faster deployment. Among different carbon capture solutions, adsorption is considered both practical and sustainable for scale-up. But the development of adsorbents that can exhibit satisfactory performance is typically done through the experimental approach. This hit and trial method is costly and time consuming and often success is not guaranteed. Machine learning (ML) and other computational tools offer an alternate to this approach and is accessible to everyone. Often, the research towards materials focuses on maximizing its performance under simulated conditions. The aim of this study is to present a holistic view on progress in material research for carbon capture and the various tools available in this regard. Thus, in this review, we first present a context on the workflow for carbon capture material development before providing various machine learning and computational tools available to support researchers at each stage of the process. The most popular application of ML models is for predicting material performance and recommends that ML approaches can be utilized wherever possible so that experimentations can be focused on the later stages of the research and development.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed active sites in a photocatalyst offer unique advantages such as locally tuned electronic structures, quantum size effects, and maximum utilization of atomic species. Among these, asymmetric atomic dual-sites are of particular interest because their asymmetric charge distribution generates a local built-in electric potential to enhance charge separation and transfer. Moreover, the dual sites provide flexibility for tuning complex multielectron and multireaction pathways, such as CO2 reduction reactions. The coordination of dual sites opens new possibilities for engineering the structure-activity-selectivity relationship. This comprehensive overview discusses efficient and sustainable photocatalysis processes in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, focusing on strategic active-site design and future challenges. It serves as a timely reference for the design and development of photocatalytic conversion processes, specifically exploring the utilization of asymmetric atomic dual-sites for complex photocatalytic conversion pathways, here exemplified by the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals.

Abstract
The direct hydrogenation of greenhouse gas CO2 to higher alcohols (C2+OH) provides a new route for the production of high-value chemicals. Due to the difficulty of C-C coupling, the formation of higher alcohols is more difficult compared to that of other compounds. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the development of multifunctional catalysts, including noble metal catalysts, Co-based catalysts, Cu-based catalysts, Fe-based catalysts, and tandem catalysts for the direct hydrogenation of CO2 to higher alcohols. Possible reaction mechanisms are discussed based on the structure-activity relationship of the catalysts. The reaction-coupling strategy holds great potential to regulate the reaction network. The effects of the reaction conditions on CO2 hydrogenation are also analyzed. Finally, we discuss the challenges and potential opportunities for the further development of direct CO2 hydrogenation to higher alcohols.

Abstract
Green hydrogen is the key to the chemical industry achieving net zero emissions. The chemical industry is responsible for almost 2% of all CO2 emissions, with half of it coming from the production of simple commodity chemicals, such as NH3, H2O2, methanol, and aniline. Despite electrolysis driven by renewable power sources emerging as the most promising way to supply all the green hydrogen required in the production chain of these chemicals, in this review, it is worth noting that the photocatalytic route may be underestimated and can hold a bright future for this topic. In fact, the production of H2 by photocatalysis still faces important challenges in terms of activity, engineering, and economic feasibility. However, photocatalytic systems can be tailored to directly convert sunlight and water (or other renewable proton sources) directly into chemicals, enabling a solar-to-chemical strategy. Here, a series of recent examples are presented, demonstrating that photocatalysis can be successfully employed to produce the most important commodity chemicals, especially on NH3, H2O2, and chemicals produced by reduction reactions. The replacement of fossil-derived H2 in the synthesis of these chemicals can be disruptive, essentially safeguarding the transition of the chemical industry to a low-carbon economy.

Abstract
Light-driven dry reforming of methane toward syngas presents a proper solution for alleviating climate change and for the sustainable supply of transportation fuels and chemicals. Herein, Rh/InGaN1-xOx nanowires supported by silicon wafer are explored as an ideal platform for loading Rh nanoparticles, thus assembling a new nanoarchitecture for this grand topic. In combination with the remarkable photo-thermal synergy, the O atoms in Rh/InGaN1-xOx can significantly lower the apparent activation energy of dry reforming of methane from 2.96 eV downward to 1.70 eV. The as-designed Rh/InGaN1-xOx NWs nanoarchitecture thus demonstrates a measurable syngas evolution rate of 180.9 mmol gcat-1 h-1 with a marked selectivity of 96.3% under concentrated light illumination of 6 W cm-2. What is more, a high turnover number (TON) of 4182 mol syngas per mole Rh has been realized after six reuse cycles without obvious activity degradation. The correlative 18O isotope labeling experiments, in-situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ISI-XPS) and in-situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy characterizations, as well as density functional theory calculations reveal that under light illumination, Rh/InGaN1-xOx NWs facilitate releasing *CH3 and H+ from CH4 by holes, followed by H2 evolution from H+ reduction with electrons. Subsequently, the O atoms in Rh/InGaN1-xOx can directly participate in CO generation by reacting with the *C species from CH4 dehydrogenation and contributes to the coke elimination, in concurrent formation of O vacancies. The resultant O vacancies are then replenished by CO2, showing an ideal chemical loop. This work presents a green strategy for syngas production via light-driven dry reforming of methane.

Abstract
In this paper, N-doped TiO2 mixed crystals are prepared via direct calcination of TiN for highly selective oxidation of CH4 to HCHO at room temperature. The structures of the prepared TiO2 samples are characterized to be N-doped TiO2 of anatase and rutile mixed crystals. The crystal structures of TiO2 samples are determined by XRD spectra and Raman spectra, while N doping is demonstrated by TEM mapping, ONH inorganic element analysis, and high-resolution XPS results. Significantly, the production rate of HCHO is as high as 23.5 mmol·g-1·h-1 with a selectivity over 90%. Mechanism studies reveal that H2O is the main oxygen source and acts through the formation of ·OH. DFT calculations indicate that the construction of a mixed crystal structure and N-doping modification mainly act by increasing the adsorption capacity of H2O. An efficient photocatalyst was prepared by us to convert CH4 to HCHO with high yield and selectivity, greatly promoting the development of the photocatalytic CH4 conversion study.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into valuable chemicals via sustainable energy sources is indispensable for human development. Photothermal catalysis combines the high selectivity of photocatalysis and the high yield of thermal catalysis, which is promising for CO2 reduction. However, the present photothermal catalysts suffer from low activity due to their poor light absorption ability and fast recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Here, a TiO2@Bi2WO6 heterojunction photocatalyst featuring a hierarchical hollow structure was prepared by an in situ growth method. The visible light absorption and photothermal effect of the TiO2@Bi2WO6 photocatalyst is promoted by a hierarchical hollow structure, while the recombination phenomenon is significantly mitigated due to the construction of the heterojunction interface and the existence of excited Bi(3-x)+ sites. Such a catalyst exhibits excellent photothermal performance with a CO yield of 43.7 μmol h-1 g-1, which is 15 and 4.7 times higher than that of pure Bi2WO6 and that of physically mixed TiO2/Bi2WO6, respectively. An in situ study shows that the pathway for the transformation of CO2 into CO over our TiO2@Bi2WO6 proceeds via two important intermediates, including COO- and COOH-. Our work provides a new idea of excited states for the design and synthesis of highly efficient photothermal catalysts for CO2 conversion.

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
The immobilization of Re(I) complexes onto metal oxide surfaces presents an elegant strategy to enhance their stability and reusability toward photocatalytic CO2 reduction. In this study, the photocatalytic performance of fac-[ClRe(CO)3(dcbH2)], where dcbH2 = 4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine, anchored onto the surface of 1%m/m CuO/Nb2O5 was investigated. Following adsorption, the turnover number for CO production (TONCO) in DMF/TEOA increased significantly, from ten in solution to 370 under visible light irradiation, surpassing the TONCO observed for the complex onto pristine Nb2O5 or CuO surfaces. The CuO/Nb2O5 heterostructure allows for efficient electron injection by the Re(I) center, promoting efficient charge separation. At same time CuO clusters introduce a new absorption band above 550 nm that contributes for the photoreduction of the reaction intermediates, leading to a more efficient CO evolution and minimization of side reactions.

Abstract
Metal halide hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received considerable attention over the past decade owing to their potential for low-cost, solution-processable, earth-abundant, and high-performance superiority, increasing power conversion efficiencies of up to 25.7%. Solar energy conversion into electricity is highly efficient and sustainable, but direct utilization, storage, and poor energy diversity are difficult to achieve, resulting in a potential waste of resources. Considering its convenience and feasibility, converting solar energy into chemical fuels is regarded as a promising pathway for boosting energy diversity and expanding its utilization. In addition, the energy conversion-storage integrated system can efficiently sequentially capture, convert, and store energy in electrochemical energy storage devices. However, a comprehensive overview focusing on PSC-self-driven integrated devices with a discussion of their development and limitations remains lacking. Here, focus is on the development of representative configurations of emerging PSC-based photo-electrochemical devices including self-charging power packs, unassisted solar water splitting/CO2 reduction. The advanced progresses in this field, including configuration design, key parameters, working principles, integration strategies, electrode materials, and their performance evaluations are also summarized. Finally, scientific challenges and future perspectives for ongoing research in this field are presented.

Abstract
As a nonpetroleum process, photodriven Fischer-Tropsch synthesis provides a practical approach for the synthesis of light olefins. However, maximizing the solar-energy conversion efficiency based on the design of the composite catalyst and understanding the catalytic mechanism remain challenging. Herein, a novel carbon-coated CoMn-based catalyst, a C-coated mixture of Co and MnO, is designed for the efficient conversion of syngas to light olefins under light irradiation. The CoMnC-450 catalyst exhibits a CO conversion of 12.6% with a selectivity to light olefins of 36.5% under light irradiation, showing 5.5-fold the activity of thermocatalysis. Experimental characterizations as certain the CoMnC-450 catalyst can be excited to generate photogenerated carriers under light irradiation and then the electron transfer to metallic Co to form electron-rich active sites with carbon mediation, thereby enhancing the catalytic performance. In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculation based on density functional theory reveal the unique roles of photogenerated carriers in promoting the adsorption and activation of CO molecules. This study demonstrates a feasible catalyst model to efficiently utilize full-spectral solar light to produce the value-added chemical.

Abstract
Solar energy utilization is of great significance to current challenges of the energy crisis and environmental pollution, which benefit the development of the global community to achieve carbon neutrality goals. Hydrogen energy is also treated as a good candidate for future energy supply since its combustion not only supplies high-density energy but also shows no pollution gas. In particular, photocatalytic water splitting has attracted increasing research as a promising method for H2 production. Recently, single-atom (SA) photocatalysts have been proposed as a potential solution to improve catalytic efficiency and lower the costs of photocatalytic water splitting for H2 generation. Owing to the maximized atom utilization rate, abundant surface active sites, and tunable coordination environment, SA photocatalysts have achieved significant progress. This review reviews developments of advanced SA photocatalysts for H2 generation regarding the different support materials. The recent progress of titanium dioxide, metal-organic frameworks, two-dimensional carbon materials, and red phosphorus supported SA photocatalysts are carefully discussed. In particular, the material designs, reaction mechanisms, modulation strategies, and perspectives are highlighted for realizing improved solar-to-energy efficiency and H2 generation rate. This work will supply significant references for future design and synthesis of advanced SA photocatalysts.

Abstract
Cobalt supported on mesostructured TiO2 catalysts has been prepared by a wet-impregnation method. The Co/TiO2 catalytic system showed better catalytic performance after support calcination at 380 °C. Co nanoparticles appeared well distributed along the mesopore channels of TiO2. After reduction pretreatment and reaction, a drastic structural change leads to mesopore structure collapse and the dispersion of the Co nanoparticles on the external surface. Along this complex process, Co species first form discrete nanoparticles inside the pore and then diffuse out as the pore collapses. Through this confinement, a strong metal-support interaction effect is hindered, and highly stable metal active sites lead to better performance for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction toward C5+ products.

Abstract
With 28-34 times the greenhouse effect of CO2 over a 100-year period, methane is regarded as the second largest contributor to global warming. Reducing methane emissions is a necessary measure to limit global warming to below 1.5 °C. Photocatalytic conversion of methane is a promising approach to alleviate the atmospheric methane concentrations due to its low energy consumption and environmentally friendly characteristics. Meanwhile, this conversion process can produce valuable chemicals and liquid fuels such as CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, C2H6, and C2H4, cutting down the dependence of chemical production on crude oil. However, the development of photocatalysts with a high methane conversion efficiency and product selectivity remains challenging. In this review, we overview recent advances in semiconductor-based photocatalysts for methane conversion and present catalyst design strategies, including morphology control, heteroatom doping, facet engineering, and cocatalysts modification. To gain a comprehensive understanding of photocatalytic methane conversion, the conversion pathways and mechanisms in these systems are analyzed in detail. Moreover, the role of electron scavengers in methane conversion performance is briefly discussed. Subsequently, we summarize the anthropogenic methane emission scenarios on earth and discuss the application potential of photocatalytic methane conversion. Finally, challenges and future directions for photocatalytic methane conversion are presented.

Abstract
The development of sustainable and efficient C1 substitution methods is of central interest for organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals production, the methylation motifs bound to a carbon, nitrogen, or oxygen atom widely exist in natural products and top-selling drugs. In the past decades, a number of methods involving green and inexpensive methanol have already been disclosed to replace industrial hazardous and waste-generating C1 source. Among the various efforts, photochemical strategy is considered as a "renewable" alternative that shows great potential to selectively activate methanol to achieve a series of C1 substitutions at mild conditions, typically C/N-methylation, methoxylation, hydroxymethylation, and formylation. Herein the recent advances in selective transformation of methanol to various C1 functional groups via well-designed photochemical systems involving different types of catalysts or not is systematically reviewed. Both the mechanism and corresponding photocatalytic system were discussed and classified on specific methanol activation models. Finally, the major challenges and perspectives are proposed.

Abstract
Effective CO2 hydrogenation has recently attracted quite some attention for producing more valuable chemical oxygenates (such as methanol, formate) in mild conditions. However, the influence of the metal center on the CO2 activation remains unclear. First, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was employed to explore the direct CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid mediated by [Cp2MH]+ (M = Zr, Hf) in the gas phase at room temperature. The key formate intermediate [Cp2M(O2CH)]+ (M = Zr, Hf) was confirmed by traveling wave ion mobility spectrometry (TWIMS). Second, to gain insights into the metal effect, the CO2 hydrogenation process involving Group 4 (i.e., Ti, Zr, Hf) transition metals was calculated along with Group 5 (i.e., V, Nb, Ta) by density functional theory (DFT) methods. The CO2 insertion process was found to be the rate-limiting step. For [Cp2TiH]+, [Cp2ZrH]+, [Cp2HfH]+, [Cp2VH]+, [Cp2NbH]+, and [Cp2TaH]+, the barriers are +7.7, +6.5, +5.9, +9.2, +8.0, and +6.3 kcal/mol, respectively. [Cp2HfH]+-mediated CO2 hydrogenation occurs the most rapidly, as revealed by MS. According to the orbital analysis on the CO2 insertion transition state, the electron-deficient metal center resulting in a low-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) could interact more favorably with the π bond of deformed CO2, which was also consistent with the natural bond orbital (NBO) results. Last but not the least, NBO charges on the metal centers were found to correlate linearly well with the CO2 insertion barriers rather than hydride affinity. Thus, the reactivity of different metal hydride complexes with CO2 to produce a formate could be estimated by the NBO charge on metals. Our findings might provide a series of candidates for the catalyst as well as guidance for catalyst design in mild CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
Two polyoxometalate (POM)-based hybrid compounds have been successfully designed and constructed by the hydrothermal method with molecular formulas [K(H2O)2FeII0.33Co0.67(H2O)2(DAPSC)]2{[FeII0.33Co0.67(H2O)(DAPSC)]2[FeII0.33Co0.67(H2O)4]2[Na2FeIII4P4W32O120]}·21.5H2O (1), and [Na(H2O)2FeII0.33Mn0.67(H2O)2(DAPSC)]2{[FeII0.33Mn0.67(H2O)(DAPSC)]2[FeII0.33Mn0.67(H2O)4]2[Na2FeIII4P4W32O120(H2O)2]}·24H2O (2) (DAPSC = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis-(semicarbazone)), respectively. Structural analysis revealed that 1 and 2 consisted of metal-organic complexes containing DAPSC ligands with dumbbell-type inorganic clusters, iron-cobalt (iron-manganese) and some other ions. By utilizing a combination of strongly reducing {P2W12} units and bimetal-doped centres the CO2 photoreduction catalytic capacity of 1 and 2 was improved. Notably, the photocatalytic performance of 1 was much better than that of 2. In CO2 photoreduction, 1 exhibited CO selectivity as high as 90.8%. Furthermore, for 1, the CO generation rate reached 6885.1 μmol g-1 h-1 at 8 h with 3 mg, and its better photocatalytic performance was presumably due to the introduction of cobalt and iron elements to give 1 a more appropriate energy band structure. Further recycling experiments indicated that 1 was a highly efficient CO2 photoreduction catalyst, which could still possess catalytic activity after several cycles.

Abstract
Iron tetraphenylporphyrin complex modified with four trimethylammonium groups (Fe-p-TMA) is found to be capable of catalyzing the eight-electron eight-proton reduction of CO2 to CH4 photochemically in acetonitrile. In the present work, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the reaction mechanism and to rationalize the product selectivity. Our results revealed that the initial catalyst Fe-p-TMA ([Cl-Fe(III)-LR4]4+, where L = tetraphenylporphyrin ligand with a total charge of -2, and R4 = four trimethylammonium groups with a total charge of +4) undergoes three reduction steps, accompanied by the dissociation of the chloride ion to form [Fe(II)-L••2-R4]2+. [Fe(II)-L••2-R4]2+, bearing a Fe(II) center ferromagnetically coupled with a tetraphenylporphyrin diradical, performs a nucleophilic attack on CO2 to produce the 1η-CO2 adduct [CO2•--Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+. Two intermolecular proton transfer steps then take place at the CO2 moiety of [CO2•--Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+, resulting in the cleavage of the C-O bond and the formation of the critical intermediate [Fe(II)-CO]4+ after releasing a water molecule. Subsequently, [Fe(II)-CO]4+ accepts three electrons and one proton to generate [CHO-Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+, which finally undergoes a successive four-electron-five-proton reduction to produce methane without forming formaldehyde, methanol, or formate. Notably, the redox non-innocent tetraphenylporphyrin ligand was found to play an important role in CO2 reduction since it could accept and transfer electron(s) during catalysis, thus keeping the ferrous ion at a relatively high oxidation state. Hydrogen evolution reaction via the formation of Fe-hydride ([Fe(II)-H]3+) turns out to endure a higher total barrier than the CO2 reduction reaction, therefore providing a reasonable explanation for the origin of the product selectivity.

Abstract
BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) families are a kind of new type of photocatalysts, which have attracted the attention of more and more researchers. The suitable band gaps and their convenient tunability via the change of X elements enable BiOX to adapt to many photocatalytic reactions. In addition, because of their characteristics of the unique layered structure and indirect bandgap semiconductor, BiOX exhibits excellent separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. Therefore, BiOX could usually demonstrate fine activity in many photocatalytic reactions. In this review, we will present the various applications and modification strategies of BiOX in photocatalytic reactions. Finally, based on a good understanding of the above issues, we will propose the future directions and feasibilities of the reasonable design of modification strategies of BiOX to obtain better photocatalytic activity toward various photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is a promising and sustainable technology in the fields of energy conversion/storage and environment purification; however, the utilization of individual component as photocatalyst is generally restricted due to the low catalytic activity deriving from the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons/holes. Covalent organic framework (COF)-semiconductor-based composite photocatalysts with synergistic effects provide a feasible route to achieve high-performance photocatalytic reactions with more active sites, strong light utilization ability, and high stability. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the rational design and preparation of the COF-semiconductors-based heterostructures for photocatalytic water splitting, carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction, and dye/pollutant degradation. In this Review, the synthetic strategies of COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures are first introduced, which includes the rational design of the morphology, connection modes, and type of heterojunctions. The performance of COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures in different photocatalytic reactions are comprehensively reviewed. The structure-activity relationship and the synergistic effects within the heterostructures are discussed, and the photocatalytic mechanism and the role of COFs during the photocatalytic process are also presented. Finally, an outlook and challenges of realizing COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures with simple synthesis methods, diverse functions, high performance, and well-defined reaction mechanisms are provided.

Abstract
Photothermal Fischer-Tropsch synthesis represents a promising strategy for converting carbon monoxide into value-added chemicals. High pressures (2-5 MPa) are typically required for efficient C-C coupling reactions and the production of C5+ liquid fuels. Herein, we report a ruthenium-cobalt single atom alloy (Ru1Co-SAA) catalyst derived from a layered-double-hydroxide nanosheet precursor. Under UV-Vis irradiation (1.80 W cm-2), Ru1Co-SAA heats to 200 °C and photo-hydrogenates CO to C5+ liquid fuels at ambient pressures (0.1-0.5 MPa). Single atom Ru sites dramatically enhance the dissociative adsorption of CO, whilst promoting C-C coupling reactions and suppressing over-hydrogenation of CHx* intermediates, resulting in a CO photo-hydrogenation turnover frequency of 0.114 s-1 with 75.8% C5+ selectivity. Owing to the local Ru-Co coordination, highly unsaturated intermediates are generated during C-C coupling reactions, thereby improving the probability of carbon chain growth into C5+ liquid fuels. The findings open new vistas towards C5+ liquid fuels under sunlight at mild pressures.

Abstract
In principle, photocatalytic activity can be precisely controlled with crystalline catalysts. However, an amorphous photocatalyst could be a viable candidate for CO2 photoreduction to form value-added products. The amorphous phase is currently part of the crystalline material in several ongoing CO2 photoreduction studies. Additionally, no study indicates the amorphous material required for overall CO2 photoreduction. This perspective review article highlights fundamental assumptions that are necessary to gain insights and understand the effectiveness of amorphous photocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction. We start with basic ideas and theories about these materials, including light harvesting, variable coordination number, and the interaction of CO2 molecules with the amorphous catalytic surface. To understand the prospects of the amorphous photocatalyst, we explore machine learning with EXAFS. Furthermore, we discuss product selectivity and regeneration of photocatalysts in detail. Finally, we briefly review the work in progress on amorphous materials and compare it to that on crystalline ones.

Abstract
Converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added fuels or chemicals through photothermal catalytic CO2 hydrogenation is a promising approach to alleviate the energy shortage and global warming. Understanding the nanostructured material strategies in the photothermal catalytic CO2 hydrogenation process is vital for designing photothermal devices and catalysts and maximizing the photothermal CO2 hydrogenation performance. In this Perspective, we first describe several essential nanomaterial design concepts to enhance sunlight absorption and utilization in photothermal CO2 hydrogenation. Subsequently, we review the latest progress in photothermal CO2 hydrogenation into C1 (e.g., CO, CH4, and CH3OH) and multicarbon hydrocarbon (C2+) products. Finally, the relevant challenges and opportunities in this exciting research realm are discussed. This perspective provides a comprehensive understanding for the light-heat synergy over nanomaterials and instruction for rational photothermal catalyst design for CO2 utilization.

Abstract
Photothermal catalytic CO hydrogenation offers the potential to synthesize light hydrocarbons by using solar energy. However, the selectivity and activity of the reaction are still far below those achieved in conventional thermal catalytic processes. Herein, we report that the Co-modified Fe5 C2 on TiC catalyst promotes photothermal catalytic CO hydrogenation with a 59 % C2+ selectivity in the produced hydrocarbons and a 30 % single-pass CO conversion at a high gas hourly space-time velocity of 12 000 mL g-1 h-1 . Using in-situ-irradiated XPS, we show that light-induced hot electron injection from TiC to Fe5 C2 modulates the chemical state of Fe, thereby increasing the CO-to-C2+ conversion. This work suggests that it is possible for plasmon-mediated surface chemistry to enhance the activity and selectivity of photothermal catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Although there are many studies on photocatalytic environmental remediation, hydrogen evolution, and chemical transformations, less success has been achieved for the synthesis of industrially important and largely demanded bulk chemicals using semiconductor photocatalysis, which holds great potential to drive unique chemical reactions that are difficult to implement by the conventional heterogeneous catalysis. The performance of semiconductors used for photochemical synthesis is, however, usually unsatisfactory due to limited efficiencies in light harvesting, charge-carrier separation, and surface reactions. The precise construction of heterogeneous photocatalysts to facilitate these processes is an attractive but challenging goal. Here, single-atom rhodium-doped metal sulfide nanorods composed of alternately stacked wurtzite/zinc-blende segments are successfully designed and fabricated, which demonstrate record-breaking efficiencies for visible light-driven preferential activation of C-H bond in methanol to form ethylene glycol (EG), a key bulk chemical used for the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymer. The wurtzite/zinc-blende heterojunctions lined regularly in one dimension accelerate the charge-carrier separation and migration. Single-atom rhodium selectively deposited onto the wurtzite segment with photogenerated holes accumulated facilitates methanol adsorption and C-H activation. The present work paves the way to harnessing photocatalysis for bulk chemical synthesis with structure-defined semiconductors.

Abstract
Methane (CH4 ) is an attractive energy source and important greenhouse gas. Therefore, from the economic and environmental point of view, scientists are working hard to activate and convert CH4 into various products or less harmful gas at low-temperature. Although the inert nature of CH bonds requires high dissociation energy at high temperatures, the efforts of researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of catalysts to activate CH4 at low temperatures. In this review, the efficient catalysts designed to reduce the CH4 oxidation temperature and improve conversion efficiencies are described. First, noble metals and transition metal-based catalysts are summarized for activating CH4 in temperatures ranging from 50 to 500 °C. After that, the partial oxidation of CH4 at relatively low temperatures, including thermocatalysis in the liquid phase, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and nonthermal plasma technologies, is briefly discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are presented to provide a systematic guideline for designing and synthesizing the highly efficient catalysts in the complete/partial oxidation of CH4 at low temperatures.

Abstract
We report an oxygen vacancy (Vo )-rich metallic MoO2-x nano-sea-urchin with partially occupied band, which exhibits super CO2 (even directly from the air) photoreduction performance under UV, visible and near-infrared (NIR) light illumination. The Vo -rich MoO2-x nano-sea-urchin displays a CH4 evolution rate of 12.2 and 5.8 μmol gcatalyst -1 h-1 under full spectrum and NIR light illumination in concentrated CO2 , which is ca. 7- and 10-fold higher than the Vo -poor MoO2-x , respectively. More interestingly, the as-developed Vo -rich MoO2-x nano-sea-urchin can even reduce CO2 directly from the air with a CO evolution rate of 6.5 μmol gcatalyst -1 h-1 under NIR light illumination. Experiments together with theoretical calculations demonstrate that the oxygen vacancy in MoO2-x can facilitate CO2 adsorption/activation to generate *COOH as well as the subsequent protonation of *CO towards the formation of CH4 because of the formation of a highly stable Mo-C-O-Mo intermediate.

Abstract
To realize sustainable societies, the production of organic compounds not based on fossil resources should be developed. Thus, C1 chemistry, utilizing one-carbon compounds as starting materials, has been of increasing importance. In particular, the formose reaction is promising because the reaction produces sugars (monosaccharides) from formaldehyde under basic conditions. On the other hand, since microwave (MW) induces the rotational motion of molecules, MW irradiation often improves the selectivity and efficiency of reactions. In this study, the formose reaction under MW irradiation was thus investigated under various conditions. The formose reaction proceeded very fast using 1.0 mol per kg formaldehyde and 55 mmol per kg calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) as a catalyst at a high set temperature (150 °C) for a short time (1 min) to form preferentially specific hexose and heptose. The major products were isolated by thin layer chromatography and characterized by mass spectroscopy and NMR. These characterization data elucidated that the hexose and heptose were 2-hydroxymethyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxy-3-pentanone (C6*) and 2,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxy-3-pentanone (C7*), respectively. On the basis of these observations, as well as density functional theory calculations, a plausible reaction pathway was also discussed; once 1,3-dihydroxyacetone is formed, consecutive aldol reactions favorably occur to form C6* and C7*.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major greenhouse gas and also an abundant and renewable carbon resource. Therefore, its chemical conversion and utilization are of great attraction for sustainable development. Especially, reductive conversion of CO2 with energy input has become a current hotspot due to its ability to access fuels and various important chemicals. Nowadays, the controllable CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid and alcohols using sustainable H2 resources has been regarded as an appealing solution to hydrogen storage and CO2 accumulation. In addition, photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO also provides a potential way to utilize this greenhouse gas efficiently. Besides direct CO2 hydrogenation, CO2 reductive functionalization integrates CO2 reduction with subsequent C-X (X = N, S, C, O) bond formation and indirect transformation strategies, enlarging the diverse products derived from CO2 and promoting CO2 reductive conversion into a new stage. In this Perspective, the progress and challenges of CO2 reductive conversion, including hydrogenation, reductive functionalization, photocatalytic reduction, and photocatalytic reductive functionalization are summarized and discussed along with the key issues and future trends/directions in this field. We hope this Perspective can evoke intense interest and inspire much innovation in the promise of CO2 valorization.

Abstract
Highly selective conversion of methane to oxygenates with O2 as a green oxidant remains a great challenge. It is still difficult to suppress the generation of COx (x=1, 2) as undesired by-products due to unavoidable overoxidation reaction. Hence, tungsten-doped (W-doped) TiO2 photocatalysts were designed with a tunable band structure for photocatalytic oxidation of methane to C1 oxygenates using O2 at low temperature (30 °C). The W-doping effectively modified the electronic and band structure of pristine TiO2 to enhance photocatalytic performance. Liquid oxygenates productivity could reach as high as 12.2 mmol g-1 with high selectivity of 99.4 %. Moreover, COx selectivity was effectively decreased from 21.2 % over TiO2 to 0.6 % for W-doped catalyst. Detailed characterizations further disclosed that W-doping not only enhanced light absorption, but also promoted the separation of photo-generated carriers to improve methane conversion. This work provides new insights into the design of highly efficient photocatalysts for methane oxidation.

Abstract
Light-driven homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis require a complex interplay between light absorption, charge separation, charge transfer, and catalytic turnover. Optical and irradiation parameters as well as reaction engineering aspects play major roles in controlling catalytic performance. This multitude of factors makes it difficult to objectively compare light-driven catalysts and provide an unbiased performance assessment. This Scientific Perspective highlights the importance of collecting and reporting experimental data in homogeneous and heterogeneous light-driven catalysis. A critical analysis of the benefits and limitations of the commonly used experimental indicators is provided. Data collection and reporting according to FAIR principles is discussed in the context of future automated data analysis. The authors propose a minimum dataset as a basis for unified collecting and reporting of experimental data in homogeneous and heterogeneous light-driven catalysis. The community is encouraged to support the future development of this parameter list through an open online repository.

Abstract
With the rising level of atmospheric CO2 worsening climate change, a promising global movement toward carbon neutrality is forming. Sustainable CO2 management based on carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has garnered considerable interest due to its critical role in resolving emission-control and energy-supply challenges. Here, a comprehensive review is presented that summarizes the state-of-the-art progress in developing promising materials for sustainable CO2 management in terms of not only capture, catalytic conversion (thermochemistry, electrochemistry, photochemistry, and possible combinations), and direct utilization, but also emerging integrated capture and in situ conversion as well as artificial-intelligence-driven smart material study. In particular, insights that span multiple scopes of material research are offered, ranging from mechanistic comprehension of reactions, rational design and precise manipulation of key materials (e.g., carbon nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, zeolites, ionic liquids), to industrial implementation. This review concludes with a summary and new perspectives, especially from multiple aspects of society, which summarizes major difficulties and future potential for implementing advanced materials and technologies in sustainable CO2 management. This work may serve as a guideline and road map for developing CCU material systems, benefiting both scientists and engineers working in this growing and potentially game-changing area.
