Abstract
To mimic the carbon cycle at a kinetically rapid pace, the sustainable conversion of omnipresent CO2 to value-added chemical feedstock and hydrocarbon fuels implies a remarkable prototype for utilizing released CO2. Porous organic polymers (POPs) have been recognized as remarkable catalytic systems for achieving large-scale applicability in energy-driven processes. POPs offer mesoporous characteristics, higher surface area, and superior optoelectronic properties that lead to their relatively advanced activity and selectivity for CO2 conversion. In comparison to the metal organic frameworks, POPs exhibit an enhanced tendency toward membrane formation, which governs their excellent stability with regard to remarkable ultrathinness and tailored pore channels. The structural ascendancy of POPs can be effectively utilized to develop cost-effective catalytic supports for energy conversion processes to leapfrog over conventional noble metal catalysts that have nonlinear techno-economic equilibrium. Herein, we precisely surveyed the functionality of POPs from scratch, classified it, and provided a critical commentary of its current methodological advancements and photo/electrochemical achievements in the CO2 reduction reaction.

Abstract
Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere are recognized as a threat to atmospheric stability and life. Although this greenhouse gas is being produced on a large scale, there are solutions to reduction and indeed utilization of the gas. Many of these solutions involve costly or unstable technologies, such as air-sensitive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for CO2 capture or "non-green" systems such as amine scrubbing. Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) represent a simpler, cheaper, and greener solution to CO2 capture and utilization. They are often easy to synthesize at scale (a one pot reaction in many cases), chemically and thermally stable (especially in comparison with their MOF and covalent organic framework (COF) counterparts, owing to their amorphous nature), and, as a result, cheap to manufacture. Furthermore, their large surface areas, tunable porous frameworks and chemical structures mean they are reported as highly efficient CO2 capture motifs. In addition, they provide a dual pathway to utilize captured CO2 via chemical conversion or electrochemical reduction into industrially valuable products. Recent studies show that all these attractive properties can be realized in metal-free CMPs, presenting a truly green option. The promising results in these two fields of CMP applications are reviewed and explored here.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:122755-122773.

Abstract
This paper focuses on enhancing the performance of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) by improving the dispersion of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc), especially for the methanol formation with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a support. The promising CNTs-supported CoPc hybrid was prepared based on ball milling technique, and the surface morphology was characterized by means of those methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). Then, the synergistic effect of CNTs and ball milling on CO2RR performance was analyzed by those methods of cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), gas chromatography (GC), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HNMR). Subsequently, the reduction mechanism of CO2 on ball-milled CoPc/CNTs was revealed based on the DFT calculations. The results showed that the electrocatalyst CoPc/CNTs hybrid prepared with sonication exhibited a conversion efficiency of CO2 above 60% at -1.0 V vs. RHE, accompanied by the Faradaic efficiencies of nearly 50% for CO and 10% for methanol, respectively. The addition of CNTs as the support improved the utilization efficiency of CoPc and reduced the transfer resistance of species and electrons. Then the ball-milling method further improved the dispersion of CoPc on CNTs, which resulted in the fact that the methanol efficiency was raised by 6% and partial current density was increased by nearly 433%. The better dispersion of CoPc on CNTs adjusted the reduction pathway of CO2 and resulted in the enhancement of methanol selectivity and catalytic activity of CO2. The probable pathway for methanol production was proposed as CO2 → *CO2- → *COOH → *CO → *CHO → *CH2O → *OCH3 → CH3OH. This suggests the significance of the ball-milling method during the preparation of better supported catalysts for CO2RR towards those high-valued products.

Abstract
The value-added chemicals, monoxide, methane, ethylene, ethanol, ethane, and so on, can be efficiently generated through the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR) when equipped with suitable catalysts. Among them, ethylene is particularly important as a chemical feedstock for petrochemical manufacture. However, despite its high Faradaic efficiency achievable at relatively low current densities, the substantial enhancement of ethylene selectivity and stability at industrial current densities poses a formidable challenge. To facilitate the industrial implementation of eCO2 RR for ethylene production, it is imperative to identify key strategies and potential solutions through comprehending the recent advancements, remaining challenges, and future directions. Herein, the latest and innovative catalyst design strategies of eCO2 RR to ethylene are summarized and discussed, starting with the properties of catalysts such as morphology, crystalline, oxidation state, defect, composition, and surface engineering. The review subsequently outlines the related important state-of-the-art technologies that are essential in driving forward eCO2 RR to ethylene into practical applications, such as CO2 capture, product separation, and downstream reactions. Finally, a greenhouse model that integrates CO2 capture, conversion, storage, and utilization is proposed to present an ideal perspective direction of eCO2 RR to ethylene.

Abstract
Developing an electrocatalyst platform that can control the interplay among activity, selectivity, and stability at atomic precision remains a grand challenge. Here, we have synthesized highly crystalline polymetallophthalocyanines (pMPcs, M = Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) through the annulation of tetracyanobenzene in the presence of transition metals. The conjugated, conductive, and stable backbones with precisely installed metal sites render pMPcs a unique platform in electrochemical catalysis, where tunability emerges from long-range interactions. The construction of pCoNiPc with a Co and Ni dual-site integrates the advantageous features of pCoPc and pNiPc in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction through electronic communication of the dual-site with an unprecedented long atomic separation of ≥14 chemical bonds. This integration provides excellent activity (current density, j = -16.0 and -100 mA cm-2 in H-type and flow cell, respectively), selectivity (CO Faraday efficiency, FECO = 94%), and stability (>10 h), making it one of the best-performing reticular materials.

Abstract
Upgrading CO2 into multi-carbon (C2+) compounds through the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) offers a practical approach to mitigate atmospheric CO2 while simultaneously producing high value chemicals. The reaction pathways for C2+ production involve multi-step proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) and C-C coupling processes. By increasing the surface coverage of adsorbed protons (*Had ) and *CO intermediates, the reaction kinetics of PCET and C-C coupling can be accelerated, thereby promoting C2+ production. However, *Had and *CO are competitively adsorbed intermediates on monocomponent catalysts, making it difficult to break the linear scaling relationship between the adsorption energies of the *Had /*CO intermediate. Recently, tandem catalysts consisting of multicomponents have been developed to improve the surface coverage of *Had or *CO by enhancing water dissociation or CO2 -to-CO production on auxiliary sites. In this context, we provide a comprehensive overview of the design principles of tandem catalysts based on reaction pathways for C2+ products. Moreover, the development of cascade CO2 RR catalytic systems that integrate CO2 RR with downstream catalysis has expanded the range of potential CO2 upgrading products. Therefore, we also discuss recent advancements in cascade CO2 RR catalytic systems, highlighting the challenges and perspectives in these systems.

Abstract
Core-shell photoanodes have shown great potential for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. However, the construction of a high-quality interface between the core and shell, as well as a highly catalytic surface, remains a challenge. Herein, guided by computation, we present a BiVO4 photoanode coated with ZnCoFe polyphthalocyanine using pyrazine as a coordination agent. The bidirectional axial coordination of pyrazine plays a dual role by facilitating intimate interfacial contact between BiVO4 and ZnCoFe polyphthalocyanine, as well as regulating the electron density and spin configuration of metal sites in ZnCoFe phthalocyanine, thereby promoting the potential-limiting step of *OOH desorption. The resulting photoanode displayed a high photocurrent density of 5.7±0.1 mA cm-2 at 1.23 VRHE . This study introduces a new approach for constructing core-shell photoanodes, and uncovers the key role of pyrazine axial coordination in modulating the catalytic activity of metal phthalocyanine.

Abstract
Cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) has attracted particular interest owing to its excellent activity during the electrochemical CO2 conversion to CO. However, the efficient utilization of CoPc at industrially relevant current densities is still a challenge owing to its nonconductive property, agglomeration, and unfavorable conductive substrate design. Here, a microstructure design strategy for dispersing CoPc molecules on a carbon substrate for efficient CO2 transport during CO2 electrolysis is proposed and demonstrated. The highly dispersed CoPc is loaded on a macroporous hollow nanocarbon sheet to act as the catalyst (CoPc/CS). The unique interconnected and macroporous structure of the carbon sheet forms a large specific surface area to anchor CoPc with high dispersion and simultaneously boosts the mass transport of reactants in the catalyst layer, significantly improving the electrochemical performance. By employing a zero-gap flow cell, the designed catalyst can mediate CO2 to CO with a high full-cell energy efficiency of 57% at 200 mA cm-2 .

Abstract
Implementing a molecular modulation strategy for metallic phthalocyanines (MPc) without losing the activity of the metal center and inducing a multifunction characteristic in electrocatalytic remains a challenge. Herein, a series of 2D CuCo bimetallic polymerized phthalocyanine modified with strong electron-withdrawing groups (CuCoPc-g, g = F, Cl, Br, NO2 ) for water oxidation in the alkaline electrolyte is designed and simply synthesized. The experimental results testify that the bimetallic design can perform electronic adjustment once and introduce the second active sites to get bifunctional characteristics, and then the electronic structure of the active center can be regulated by electron-withdrawing groups for a second time to achieve the optimal state. These electrons that transfer in the active center of inner metal can generate space-charged regions and the design of the polymer can stabilize active site region to maintain long-term electrolytic stability and high activity. This study precisely regulates the electronic structure of MPc at the molecular level and provides insight into the multifunctional design of polymeric macrocyclic electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) is crucial to addressing environmental crises and producing chemicals. Proton activation and transfer are essential in CO2 RR. To date, few research reviews have focused on this process and its effect on catalytic performance. Recent studies have demonstrated ways to improve CO2 RR by regulating proton transfer dynamics. This Concept highlights the use of regulating proton transfer dynamics to enhance CO2 RR for the target product and discusses modulation strategies for proton transfer dynamics and operative mechanisms in typical systems, including single-atom catalysts, molecular catalysts, metal heterointerfaces, and organic-ligand modified metal catalysts. Characterization methods for proton transfer dynamics during CO2 RR are also discussed, providing powerful tools for the hydrogen-involving electrochemical study. This Concept offers new insights into the CO2 RR mechanism and guides the design of efficient CO2 RR systems.

Abstract
Efficient capture of CO2 and its conversion into other high value-added compounds by electrochemical methods is an effective way to reduce excess CO2 in the atmosphere. Porous polymeric materials hold great promise for selective adsorption and electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 due to their high specific surface area, tunable porosity, structural diversity, and chemical stability. Here, we review recent research advances in this field, including design of porous organic polymers (POPs), porous coordination polymers (PCPs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and functional nitrogen-containing polymers for capture and electrocatalytic reduction of CO2. In addition, key issues and prospects for the optimal design of porous polymers for future development are elucidated. This review is expected to shed new light on the development of advanced porous polymer electrocatalysts for efficient CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Metallic Li is considered the most promising anode material for high-energy-density batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential. However, inhomogeneous lithium deposition and uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites result in low lithium utilization, rapid capacity fading, and poor cycling performance. Herein, two sulfonated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with different sulfonated group contents are synthesized as the multifunctional interlayers in lithium metal batteries. The sulfonic acid groups in the pore channels can serve as Li-anchoring sites that effectively coordinate Li ions. These periodically arranged subunits significantly guide uniform Li-ion flux distribution, guarantee smooth Li deposition, and reduce lithium dendrite formation. Consequently, these characteristics afford an excellent quasi-solid-state electrolyte with a high ionic conductivity of 1.9 × 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature and a superior Li++ transference number of 0.91. A Li/LiFePO4 battery with the COF-based electrolyte exhibited dendrite-free Li deposition during the charge process, accompanied by no capacity decay after 100 cycles at 0.1 C.

Abstract
Emerging photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) systems synergize the advantages of electrocatalysis (EC) and photocatalysis (PC) and are considered a green and efficient approach to CO2 conversion. However, improving the selectivity and conversion rate remains a major challenge. Strategies mimicking natural photosynthesis provide a prospective way to convert CO2 with high efficiency. Herein, several typical strategies are described for constructing biomimetic photoelectric functional interfaces; such interfaces include metal cocatalysts/semiconductors, small molecules/semiconductors, molecular catalysts/semiconductors, MOFs/semiconductors, and microorganisms/semiconductors. The biomimetic PEC interface must have enhanced CO2 adsorption capacity, preferentially activate CO2 , and have an efficient conversion ability; with these properties, it can activate CO bonds effectively and promote electron transfer and CC coupling to convert CO2 to single-carbon or multicarbon products. Interfacial electron transfer and proton coupling on the biomimetic PEC interface are also discussed to clarify the mechanism of CO2 reduction. Finally, the existing challenges and perspectives for biomimetic photoelectrocatalytic CO2 reduction are presented.

Abstract
Challenges remain in the development of novel multifunctional electrocatalysts and their industrial operation on low-electricity pair-electrocatalysis platforms for the carbon cycle. Herein, an enzyme-inspired single-molecular heterojunction electrocatalyst ((NHx )16 -NiPc/CNTs) with specific atomic nickel centers and amino-rich local microenvironments for industrial-level electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR) and further energy-saving integrated CO2 electrolysis is designed and developed. (NHx )16 -NiPc/CNTs exhibit unprecedented catalytic performance with industry-compatible current densities, ≈100% Faradaic efficiency and remarkable stability for CO2 -to-CO conversion, outperforming most reported catalysts. In addition to the enhanced CO2 capture by chemisorption, the sturdy deuterium kinetic isotope effect and proton inventory studies sufficiently reveal that such distinctive local microenvironments provide an effective proton ferry effect for improving local alkalinity and proton transfer and creating local interactions to stabilize the intermediate, ultimately enabling the high-efficiency operation of eCO2 RR. Further, by using (NHx )16 -NiPc/CNTs as a bifunctional electrocatalyst in a flow cell, a low-electricity overall CO2 electrolysis system coupling cathodic eCO2 RR with anodic oxidation reaction is developed to achieve concurrent feed gas production and sulfur recovery, simultaneously decreasing the energy input. This work paves the new way in exploring molecular electrocatalysts and electrolysis systems with techno-economic feasibility.
