Abstract
Efficient and multiple CO2 utilization into high-value-added chemicals holds significant importance in carbon neutrality and industry production. However, most catalysis systems generally exhibit only one type of CO2 transformation with the efficiency to be improved. The restricted abundance of active catalytic sites or an inefficient utilization rate of these sites results in the constraint. Consequently, we designed and constructed two metal hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (M-HOFs) {[M3(L3-)2(H2O)10]·2H2O}n (M = Co (1), Ni (2); L = 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid) in this research. 1 and 2 are well-characterized, and both show excellent stability. The networks connected by multiple hydrogen bonds enhance the structural flexibility and create accessible Lewis acidic sites, promoting interactions between the substrates and catalytic centers. This enhancement facilitates efficient catalysis for two types of CO2 transformations, encompassing both cycloaddition reactions with epoxides and aziridines to afford cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones. The catalytic activities (TON/TOF) are superior compared with those of most other catalysts. These heterogeneous catalysts still exhibited high performance after being reused several times. Mechanistic studies indicated intense interactions between the metal sites and substrates, demonstrating the reason for efficient catalysis. This marks the first instance on M-HOFs efficiently catalyzing two types of CO2 conversions, finding important significance for catalyst design and CO2 utilization.

Abstract
Borocarbonitride (BCN) materials have shown significant potential as photocatalysts for hydrogen production. However, traditional bulk BCN exhibits only moderate photocatalytic activity. In this study, we introduce an environmentally conscious and sustainable strategy utilizing biomass-derived carbon sources to synthesize BCN nanosheets. The hydrogen evolution efficiency of BCN-A nanosheets (110 μmol h-1 g-1) exceeds that of bulk BCN photocatalysts (12 μmol h-1 g-1) by 9.1 times, mainly due to the increased surface area (205 m2g-1) and the presence of numerous active sites with enhanced charge separation capabilities. Notably, the biomass-derived BCN nanosheets offer key advantages such as sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and reduced carbon footprint during hydrogen production. These findings highlight the potential of biomass-based BCN nanomaterials to facilitate a greener and more efficient route to hydrogen energy, contributing to the global transition towards renewable energy solutions.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion into value-added chemicals/fuels by utilizing solar energy is a sustainable way to mitigate our dependence on fossil fuels and stimulate a carbon-neutral economy. However, the efficient and affordable conversion of CO2 is still an ongoing challenge. Here, we report an interfacially synthesized visible-light-active Ni(II)-integrated covalent organic frameworks (TaTpBpy-Ni COFs) film as a photocatalyst for efficient CO2 conversion into carboxylic acid under ambient conditions. Notably, the TaTpBpy-Ni COFs film showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the carboxylation of various arylamines with CO2 to the corresponding arylcarboxylic acid via C-N bond activation under solar-light irradiation. Moreover, this carboxylation protocol exhibits mild reaction conditions and good functional group tolerance without the necessity of using stoichiometric metallic reductants. This work shows a benchmark example of not only the interfacially synthesized COFs film used as a photocatalyst for solar-light energy utilization but also the selective solar chemical production system of arylcarboxylic acid directly from CO2.

Abstract
Light-driven carboxylation offers a promising approach for synthesizing valuable fine chemicals under mild conditions. Here we disclose a heterogeneous photocatalytic strategy of C(sp2)-H activation of formate for hydrocarboxylation of alkenes over zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn2S4) under visible light. This protocol functions well with a variety of substituted styrenes with good to excellent yields; it also works for unactivated alkenes albeit with lower yields. Mechanistic studies confirm the existence of CO2⋅- as a key intermediate. It was found that C(sp2)-H activation of formate is induced by S⋅ species on the surface of ZnIn2S4 via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) instead of a photogenerated hole oxidation mechanism. Moreover, both cleavage of the C(sp2)-H of HCOO- and formation of a benzylic anion were found to be involved in the rate-determining step for the hydrocarboxylation of styrene.

Abstract
Low-cost formate salt was used as the reductant and part of the carboxyl source in a visible-light-driven dicarboxylation of diverse alkenes, including simple styrenes. The highly competing hydrocarboxylation side reaction was successfully overridden. Good yields of products were obtained under mild reaction conditions at ambient temperature and pressure of CO2. The dual role of formate salt may stimulate the discovery of a range of new transformations under mild and friendly conditions.

Abstract
Investigations into the selective oxidation of inert sp3 C-H bonds using polymer photocatalysts under mild conditions have been limited. Additionally, the structure-activity relationship of photocatalysts often remains insufficiently explored. Here, a series of thiophene-based covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are used for the efficient and selective oxidation of hydrocarbons to aldehydes or ketones under ambient aerobic conditions. Spectroscopic methods conducted in situ and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the sulfur atoms within the thiophene units play a pivotal role as oxidation sites due to the generation of photogenerated holes. The effect of photogenerated holes on photocatalytic toluene oxidation was investigated by varying the length of the spacer in a CTF donor-acceptor based photocatalyst. Furthermore, the manipulation of reactive oxygen species was employed to enhance selectivity by weakening the peroxidative capacity. As an illustrative example, this study successfully demonstrated the synthesis of a precursor of the neurological drug AMG-579 using a photocatalytic protocol.

Abstract
We report the first use of carbon-doped boron nitride (BCN) for H2S-selective catalytic oxidation. The obtained carbon-doped BN with an ultrathin layer structure exhibits outstanding H2S elimination and high S yield. In particular, BN doped carbon nanosheets display better catalytic performance than traditional catalysts, such as iron- and carbon-based catalysts. The findings of the present work shed a new light on metal-free catalysts for efficient catalytic removal of toxic H2S.
