Abstract
The combination of molecular catalysts and semiconductor substrates in hybrid heterogeneous photo- or electrocatalytic devices could yield synergistic effects that result in enhanced activity and long-term stability. The extent of synergy strongly depends on the electronic interactions and energy level alignment between the molecular states and the valence and conduction band of the substrate. These properties of hybrid interfaces are investigated for a model system composed of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) as a stand-in for molecular catalysts and a variety of semiconductor substrates. Monolayers of PPIX are deposited using Langmuir-Blodgett deposition. Their morphology is studied in dependence of the deposition surface pressure to achieve a high-quality, dense coverage. By making use of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, the band alignment is determined by the vacuum level and incorporates an interface dipole of 0.4 eV independent of the substrate. The HOMO, LUMO, and LUMO+1 levels were determined to be at 5.6, 3.7, and 2.7 eV below the vacuum level, respectively. The quenching of PPIX photoluminescence in dependence of the potential gradient between excited state and electron affinity of the semiconductor substrates is overall in good agreement with electron transfer processes occurring at very fast time scales on the order of femtoseconds. Nevertheless, deviations from this model become apparent for narrower band gap semiconductors, which points to an additional relevance of other processes, such as energy transfer. These findings highlight the importance of matching the semiconductor to the molecular catalyst to prevent undesirable deactivation pathways.

Abstract
CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) provides a promising strategy for sustainable carbon fixation by converting CO2 into value-added fuels and chemicals. In recent years, considerable efforts are focused on the development of transition-metal (TM)-based catalysts for the selectively electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2 RR). Co-based catalysts emerge as one of the most promising electrocatalysts with high Faradaic efficiency, current density, and low overpotential, exhibiting excellent catalytic performance toward ECO2 RR for CO and HCOOH productions that are economically viable. The intrinsic contribution of Co and the synergistic effects in Co-hybrid catalysts play essential roles for future commercial productions by ECO2 RR. This review summarizes the rational design of Co-based catalysts for ECO2 RR, including molecular, single-metal-site, and oxide-derived catalysts, along with the nanostructure engineering techniques to highlight the distribution of the ECO2 RR products by Co-based catalysts. The density functional theory (DFT) simulations and advanced in situ characterizations contribute to interpreting the synergies between Co and other materials for the enhanced product selectivity and catalytic activity. Challenges and outlook concerning the catalyst design and reaction mechanism, including the upgrading of reaction systems of Co-based catalysts for ECO2 RR, are also discussed.

Abstract
The synthesis of renewable fuels from abundant water or the greenhouse gas CO2 is a major step toward creating sustainable and scalable energy storage technologies. In the last few decades, much attention has focused on the development of nonprecious metal-based catalysts and, in more recent years, their integration in solid-state support materials and devices that operate in water. This review surveys the literature on 3d metal-based molecular catalysts and focuses on their immobilization on heterogeneous solid-state supports for electro-, photo-, and photoelectrocatalytic synthesis of fuels in aqueous media. The first sections highlight benchmark homogeneous systems using proton and CO2 reducing 3d transition metal catalysts as well as commonly employed methods for catalyst immobilization, including a discussion of supporting materials and anchoring groups. The subsequent sections elaborate on productive associations between molecular catalysts and a wide range of substrates based on carbon, quantum dots, metal oxide surfaces, and semiconductors. The molecule-material hybrid systems are organized as "dark" cathodes, colloidal photocatalysts, and photocathodes, and their figures of merit are discussed alongside system stability and catalyst integrity. The final section extends the scope of this review to prospects and challenges in targeting catalysis beyond "classical" H2 evolution and CO2 reduction to C1 products, by summarizing cases for higher-value products from N2 reduction, C x>1 products from CO2 utilization, and other reductive organic transformations.

Abstract
The adsorption and subsequent electrooxidative polymerization of ferriprotoporphyrin IX chloride (hemin; FePPCl) was investigated on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite, glassy carbon, and polycrystalline Pt electrodes using electrochemical atomic force microscopy, first-principles calculations, and cyclic voltammetry. Hemin was shown to readily adsorb to all three surfaces; however, it was more continuous over the carbon surfaces compared to the Pt surface. This disparity in adsorption appears to be a major contributing factor to differences observed between the electrodes following hemin electropolymerization. Despite differences in roughness and morphology, hemin polymerized as a continuous layer over each electrode surface. Periodic density functional theory calculations were used to model FePP (without Cl) on both the Pt(111) and graphite surfaces using the vdW-DF-optPBE functional to account for the dispersion interactions. Our calculations suggest that the FePP molecule chemisorbs to the Pt surface while at the same time exhibiting intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acid groups, which are extended away from the surface. In contrast to FePP-Pt chemisorption, FePP was found to physisorb to graphite. The preferred spin state upon adsorption was found to be S = 2 on Pt(111), whereas on graphite, the high and intermediate spin states were nearly isoenergetic. Additionally, gas-phase calculations suggest that much of the surface roughness observed microscopically for the polymerized porphyrin layer may originate from the nonparallel stacking of porphyrin molecules, which interact with each other by forming four intermolecular hydrogen bonds and through dispersion interactions between the stacked porphyrin rings. Regardless of polymer thickness, the underlying electrode appears to be able to participate in at least some redox processes. This was observed for the hemin-polymerized Pt electrode using the 2H+/H2 redox couple and was suspected to be due to some Pt surface atoms not being specifically coordinated to the hemin molecules and therefore available to react with H+ that was small enough to diffuse through the polymer layer.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are the smallest entities for catalytic reactions with projected high atomic efficiency, superior activity, and selectivity; however, practical applications of SACs suffer from a very low metal loading of 1-2 wt%. Here, a class of SACs based on atomically dispersed transition metals on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (MSA-N-CNTs, where M = Ni, Co, NiCo, CoFe, and NiPt) is synthesized with an extraordinarily high metal loading, e.g., 20 wt% in the case of NiSA-N-CNTs, using a new multistep pyrolysis process. Among these materials, NiSA-N-CNTs show an excellent selectivity and activity for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO, achieving a turnover frequency (TOF) of 11.7 s-1 at -0.55 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)), two orders of magnitude higher than Ni nanoparticles supported on CNTs.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of aqueous pyridinium and N-methyl pyridinium ions is investigated in the absence and presence of CO2 and electrolysis reaction products on glassy carbon, Au, and Pt electrodes are studied. Unlike pyridinium, N-methyl pyridinium is not electroactive at the Pt electrode. The electrochemical reduction of the two pyridine derivatives was found to be irreversible on glassy carbon. These results confirmed the essential role of the N-H bond of the pyridinium cation. In contrast, the electrochemical response of N-methyl pyridinium ion at the glassy carbon electrode suggests that a specific interaction occurs between the glassy carbon surface and the aromatic ring of the pyridinium derivative. For all electrodes, an enhancement of current was observed in the presence of CO2 . However, NMR spectroscopy of the solutions following electrolysis showed no formation of methanol or other possible byproducts of the reduction of CO2 in the presence of either pyridinium derivative ion.
