Abstract
To rationally design single-atom metal-organic framework (MOF)-involving photocatalysts remains an ongoing challenge for efficient CO2 conversion. Here, cuppy microstructures, consisting of a Ti(IV)-oxo node and three linked carboxylic moieties, in the single-coordination-layer Ti2 (H2 dobdc)3 MOF (NTU-9) are exploited to immobilize abundant single Ni(II) sites (Ni@MOF). The coupling of Ni@MOF with BiVO4 (BVO) nanosheets by H-bonding-induced assembly process obtains wide-spectrum 2D heterojunctions. The optimal heterojunction exhibits competitive performance and enables around 66-fold CO2 conversion of that for BVO nanoparticles by pure water, with nearly 100% CO selectivity. The exceptional photoactivity is attributed to favorable S-scheme charge transfer from BVO to MOF then to single Ni(II) sites. Noteworthily, single Ni(II) sites anchored by the Ti(IV)-oxo node and vicinal carboxylic moieties serving as a unique local microenvironment (LME) are found to synergistically catalyze CO2 conversion. Specifically, the hydroxyl groups of carboxylic moieties can form H-bonds with CO2 to promote its adsorption on single Ni(II) sites, and also can provide accessible protons to facilitate H-assisted CO2 reduction. Moreover, the CO desorption and subsequent CO2 adsorption on single Ni(II) sites with LME is proved to be thermodynamically favored, and hence dominates the high CO selectivity. This work highlights the significance of modulating the LME of single atoms to rationally design photocatalysts for realizing carbon neutralization.

Abstract
The construction of an S-scheme charge transfer pathway is considered to be a powerful way to inhibit charge recombination and maintain photogenerated carriers with high redox capacity to meet the kinetic requirements of the carbon dioxide (CO2) photoreduction reaction. For an S-scheme heterojunction, an internal electric field (IEF) is regarded as the main driving force for accelerating the interfacial spatial transfer of photogenerated charges. Herein, we designed a TiO2 hollow-sphere (TH)-based S-scheme heterojunction for efficient CO2 photoreduction, in which WO3 nanoparticles (WP) were applied as an oxidation semiconductor to form an intimate interfacial contact with the TH. The S-scheme charge transfer mode driven by a strong IEF for the TH/WP composite was confirmed by in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. As a result, abundant photogenerated electrons with strong reducing ability would take part in the CO2 reduction reaction. The combination of surface photovoltage spectra and transient photocurrent experiments disclosed that the IEF intensity and charge separation efficiency of the fabricated TH/WP composite were nearly 16.80- and 1.42-fold higher, respectively, than those of the pure TH. Furthermore, sufficient active sites provided by the hollow-sphere structure also enhanced the kinetics of the catalytic reaction. Consequently, the optimized TH/WP composite showed a peak level of CO production of 14.20 μmol g-1 in 3 h without the addition of any sacrificial agent. This work provides insights into the kinetic studies of the S-scheme charge transfer pathway for realizing high-performance CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
The construction of a phase junction photocatalyst can significantly enhance the photocatalytic performance with high selectivity for CO2 reduction. In this study, an S-scheme junction Cd0.5Zn0.5S/CoWO4 semiconductor with the coupling of a twin crystal Cd0.5Zn0.5S homojunction and CoWO4 was designed through a hydrothermal method, which could convert CO2 to CO with high efficiency under visible-light illumination. Cd0.5Zn0.5S-10%CoWO4 exhibited the optimal performance and its CO yield and selectivity were up to 318.68 μmol·g-1 and 95.90%, respectively, which were 4.54 and 1.62 times higher than that of twin crystal Cd0.5Zn0.5S. Moreover, the Cd0.5Zn0.5S homojunction with a zinc-blende and wurtzite phase and the S-scheme phase junction of Cd0.5Zn0.5S/CoWO4 enhanced the property of CO2 adsorption and accelerated the detachment of photogenerated carriers. The combination of photogenerated holes in Cd0.5Zn0.5S and the electrons of CoWO4 can retain the reduction sites to improve photocatalytic performance. This study provides a neoteric concept and reference for the construction of the S-scheme phase junction.

Abstract
Metal-carbon matrix catalyst has attracted a great deal of interest in electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) due to its excellent electrocatalytic performance. However, the design of highly active metal-carbon matrix catalyst towards CO2RR using natural biomass and cheap chemical precursors is still under challenge. Herein, a self-assembly strategy, along with CO2 gas as acidifying agent, to fabricate silk fibroin (SF) derived carbon aerogels (CA) combining trace copper nanoparticles (SF-Cu/CA) is developed. Zinc nitrate was introduced as a pore-forming agent to further optimize the pore structure of the as-prepared catalysts to form SF-Cu/CA-1. The rich mesoporous structure and unique constitute of SF-Cu/CA-1 is conducive to exposed numerous active sites, fast electron transfer rate, and the desorption of *CO intermediate, thus leading to the electrocatalytic CO2RR of SF-Cu/CA-1 catalyst with an excellent current density of 29.4 mA cm-2, Faraday efficiency of 83.06% towards carbon monoxide (CO), high the ratio value of CO/H2 (19.58), and a long-term stability over a 10-hour period. This performance is superior to that of SF-Cu/CA catalyst (13.0 mA cm-2, FECO=58.43%, CO/H2 = 2.16). This work not only offers a novel strategy using natural biomass and cheap chemicals to build metal-carbon matrix catalyst for electrocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion, but also is expected to promote the industrial-scale implementations of CO2 electroreduction.

Abstract
Plastic production has been increasing at enormous rates. Particularly, the socioenvironmental problems resulting from the linear economy model have been widely discussed, especially regarding plastic pieces intended for single use and disposed improperly in the environment. Nonetheless, greenhouse gas emissions caused by inappropriate disposal or recycling and by the many production stages have not been discussed thoroughly. Regarding the manufacturing processes, carbon dioxide is produced mainly through heating of process streams and intrinsic chemical transformations, explaining why first-generation petrochemical industries are among the top five most greenhouse gas (GHG)-polluting businesses. Consequently, the plastics market must pursue full integration with the circular economy approach, promoting the simultaneous recycling of plastic wastes and sequestration and reuse of CO2 through carbon capture and utilization (CCU) strategies, which can be employed for the manufacture of olefins (among other process streams) and reduction of fossil-fuel demands and environmental impacts. Considering the previous remarks, the present manuscript’s purpose is to provide a review regarding CO2 emissions, capture, and utilization in the plastics industry. A detailed bibliometric review of both the scientific and the patent literature available is presented, including the description of key players and critical discussions and suggestions about the main technologies. As shown throughout the text, the number of documents has grown steadily, illustrating the increasing importance of CCU strategies in the field of plastics manufacture.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 into usable chemicals is a promising path to address climate change and energy challenges. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of unique coinage metal (Cu, Ag, and Au) nanodendrites (NDs) via a facile galvanic replacement reaction (GRR), which can be effective electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 in an ethanolamine (EA) solution. Each metal ND surface was directly grown on glassy-carbon (GC) substrates from a mixture of Zn dust and the respective precursor solution. The electrocatalytic activities of the synthesized ND surfaces were optimized for CO2 reduction in EA solution by varying their composition. It was determined that a 0.05 mol fraction of EA exhibited the highest catalytic activity for all metal NDs. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques showed that metal-ND electrodes possessed higher current densities, lower onset potentials and lower charge-transfer resistances for CO2 reduction than their smooth polycrystalline electrode counterparts, indicating improved CO2 reduction catalytic activity. It was determined, using FTIR and NMR spectroscopy, that formate was produced as a result of the CO2 reduction.
