Abstract
H2 is one of the most attractive fuel alternatives to the existing fossil fuels that cause detrimental environmental issues. Thus, there has been an upsurge in the research on the production of green hydrogen. In this view, cucurbit[7]uril (CB7)-functionalized Co:Ni alloy nanocomposites with different compositions, reported here for the first time, were synthesized to synergise the catalytic activities of a nanoalloy and CB7 and screened for hydrogen generation via hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB). The (Co85:Ni15)50:(CB7)50 nanocomposite exhibited enhanced catalytic performance for AB hydrolysis even at room temperature as compared to the nanoalloy without CB7. Efficient release of ammonia-free green H2 is ensured by the retention of NH3 by the surface functionalized CB7 macrocycles. For sustained release, a novel and cost-effective procedure was used to regenerate AB from the by-product, and the H2 release activity was verified to be on par with commercial AB. The used nanocomposite magnetically separated from the by-product solution was shown to be an efficient electrochemical catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The cucurbit[7]uril-functionalized Co:Ni nanocomposite demonstrates remarkable dual catalytic performance to generate clean hydrogen from both the hydrolysis of AB at room temperature and the electrochemical HER, thus opening new avenues in supramolecular chemistry for developing noble metal-free catalysts with high activity and long-term stability.

Abstract
The increasing energy demand and environmental issues caused by the over-exploitation of fossil fuels render the need for renewable, clean, and environmentally benign energy sources unquestionably urgent. The zero-emission energy carrier, H2 is an ideal alternative to carbon-based fuels especially when it is generated photocatalytically from water. Additionally, the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into chemical fuels can reduce the CO2 emissions and have a positive environmental and economic impact. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, plenty of artificial photocatalytic schemes based on porphyrinoids have been investigated. This review covers the recent advances in photocatalytic H2 production and CO2 reduction systems containing porphyrin or phthalocyanine derivatives. The unique properties of porphyrinoids enable their utilization both as chromophores and as catalysts. The homogeneous photocatalytic systems are initially described, presenting the various approaches for the improvement of photosensitizing activity and the enhancement of catalytic performance at the molecular level. On the other hand, for the development of the heterogeneous systems, numerous methods were employed such as self-assembled supramolecular porphyrinoid nanostructures, construction of organic frameworks, combination with 2D materials and adsorption onto semiconductors. The dye sensitization on semiconductors opened the way for molecular-based dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DSPECs) devices based on porphyrins and phthalocyanines. The research in photocatalytic systems as discussed herein remains challenging since there are still many limitations making them unfeasible to be used at a large scale application before finding a large-scale application.

Abstract
The reduction of available drugs with effectiveness against microbes is worsening with the current global crisis of antimicrobial resistance. This calls for innovative strategies for combating antimicrobial resistance. Photodynamic Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (PACT) is a relatively new method that utilizes the combined action of light, oxygen, and a photosensitizer to bring about the destruction of microorganisms. This technique has been found to be effective against a wide spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Of greater interest is their ability to destroy resistant strains of microorganisms and in effect help in combating the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. This manuscript reviews porphyrins and porphyrin-type photosensitizers that have been studied in the recent past with a focus on their structure-activity relationship.

Abstract
The self-assembly of bifunctional photoredoxcatalysts is reported. A series of photosensitizers and water-reducing catalysts were functionalized with viologen- and naphthol-units, respectively. Subsequent formation of the heteroternary cucurbit[8]uril-viologen-naphthol complexes was used for the constitution of bifunctional photoredoxcatalysts for hydrogen generation.

Abstract
The fabrication of efficient and convenient photocatalytic H2 evolution systems is a fascinating research topic in the field of solar energy conversion. A ternary self-assembled photocatalytic H2 evolution system was fabricated through supramolecular host-guest chemistry. The system consisted of the H2 evolution catalyst [Co(dmgH)2 (4-ppy)2 ]NO3 (1; dmgH2 =dimethylglyoxime, 4-ppy=4-phenylpyridine) and the photosensitizer Eosin Y (EY) assembled with the macrocyclic compound cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) to form the 1@CB[7]/EY complex through inclusion and exclusion interactions, respectively. The synchronous self-assembly drives an orthogonal arrangement of the 1@CB[7]/EY system. The inclusion complex 1@CB[7] was successfully characterized by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal XRD. The exclusion process of CB[7] with EY was identified by NMR titration and the optimized geometry of the exclusion structure was determined by DFT calculations. The use of CB[7] resulted in a 6-fold increase in turnover number, a 3-fold increase in turnover frequency, and a 3-fold extension of lifetime for photocatalytic H2 evolution as compared with the system in the absence of CB[7]. The improvement of the light-driven H2 evolution activity was ascribed to the ability of CB[7] to link the photosensitizer and catalyst.
