Role of Atomicity and Interface on InO x-TiO 2 Composites: Thermo-Photo Valorization of CO 2. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:33461-33474. [PMID: 38888106 PMCID: PMC11231977 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c04803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
The synthesis, physicochemical, and functional properties of composite solids resulting from the surface spread of oxidized indium species onto nanoplatelets of anatase were investigated. Both the size and the interaction between the indium- and titanium-containing components control the functional properties. In the reduction of CO2 to CO, the best samples have an indium content between ca. 2 and 5 mol % and showed an excess rate over the photo and thermo-alone processes above 33% and an energy efficiency of 1.3%. Subnanometric (monomeric and dimeric) indium species present relatively weak thermal catalytic response but strong thermo-photo promotion of the activity. A gradual change in functional properties was observed with the growth of the indium content of the solids, leading to a progressive increase of thermal activity but lower thermo-photo promotion. The study provides a well-defined structure-activity relationship rationalizing the dual thermo-photo properties of the catalysts and establishes a guide for the development of highly active and stable composite solids for the elimination and valorization of CO2.

Abstract
The creation of two-dimensional van der Waals (VDW) heterostructures is a sophisticated approach to enhancing photocatalytic efficiency. However, challenges in electron transfer at the interfaces often arise in these heterostructures due to the varied structures and energy barriers of the components involved. This study presents a novel method for constructing a VDW heterostructure by inserting a phosphate group between copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and boron-doped, nitrogen-deficient graphitic carbon nitride (BCN), referred to as Cu/PO4-BCN. This phosphate group serves as a charge mediator, enabling effective charge transfer within the heterostructure, thus facilitating electron flow from BCN to CuPc upon activation. As a result, the photogenerated electrons are effectively utilized by the catalytic Cu2+ core in CuPc, achieving a conversion efficiency of 96% for benzyl alcohol (BA) and a selectivity of 98.8% for benzyl aldehyde (BAD) in the presence of oxygen as the sole oxidant and under illumination. Notably, the production rate of BAD is almost 8 times higher than that observed with BCN alone and remains stable over five cycles. The introduction of interfacial mediators to enhance electron transfer represents a pioneering and efficient strategy in the design of photocatalysts, enabling the proficient transformation of BA into valuable derivatives.

Abstract
Transforming lignin into aromatic monomers is critically attractive to develop green and sustainable energy supplies. However, the usage of the additional catalysts like metal or base/acid is commonly limited by the caused repolymerized and environmental issues. The key step is to mediate electron transfer in lignin to trigger lignin C-C/C-O bonds cleavage without the catalysts mentioned above. Here, we report that the ionic liquids [BMim][ClO4] was found to trigger lignin electron transfer to cleave the C-C/C-O bonds for aromatic monomers without any additional catalyst. The proton transfer from [BMim]+ to [ClO4]- could polarize the anion and decrease its structure stability, upon which the active hydroxyl radical generated and induced lignin C-C/C-O bonds fragmentation via free radical-mediated routes with the assistance of photothermal synergism. About 4.4 wt% yields of aromatic monomers, mainly composed of vanillin and acetosyringone, are afforded in [BMim][ClO4] under UV-light irradiation in the air at 80 °C. This work opens the way to produce value-added aromatic monomers from lignin using an eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and simple route that may contribute to the sustainable utilization of renewable natural resources.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have emerged as a prominent tool in agriculture. Since photosynthetic function is a significant measurement of phytotoxicity and an assessment tool prior to large-scale agricultural applications, the impact of engineered irregular-shaped ZnO NPs coated with oleylamine (ZnO@OAm NPs) were tested. The ZnO@OAm NPs (crystalline size 19 nm) were solvothermally prepared in the sole presence of oleylamine (OAm) and evaluated on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. Foliar-sprayed 15 mg L-1 ZnO@OAm NPs on tomato leaflets increased chlorophyll content that initiated a higher amount of light energy capture, which resulted in about a 20% increased electron transport rate (ETR) and a quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (ΦPSII) at the growth light (GL, 600 μmol photons m-2 s-1). However, the ZnO@OAm NPs caused a malfunction in the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of PSII, which resulted in photoinhibition and increased ROS accumulation. The ROS accumulation was due to the decreased photoprotective mechanism of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and to the donor-side photoinhibition. Despite ROS accumulation, ZnO@OAm NPs decreased the excess excitation energy of the PSII, indicating improved PSII efficiency. Therefore, synthesized ZnO@OAm NPs can potentially be used as photosynthetic biostimulants for enhancing crop yields after being tested on other plant species.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5241.

Abstract
Acetaldehyde decomposition was performed under heating at a temperature range of 25-125 °C and UV irradiation on TiO2 doped by metallic Ni powder and TiO2 supported on nickel foam. The process was carried out in a high-temperature reaction chamber, "The Praying MantisTM", with simultaneous in situ FTIR measurements and UV irradiation. Ni powder was added to TiO2 in the quantity of 0.5 to 5.0 wt%. The photothermal measurements of acetaldehyde decomposition indicated that the highest yield of acetaldehyde conversion on TiO2 and UV irradiation was obtained at 75 °C. The doping of nickel to TiO2 did not increase its photocatalytic activity. Contrary to that, the application of nickel foam as a support for TiO2 appeared to be highly advantageous because it increased the decomposition of acetaldehyde from 31 to 52% at 25 °C, and then to 85% at 100 °C in comparison with TiO2 itself. At the same time, the mineralization of acetaldehyde to CO2 doubled in the presence of nickel foam. However, oxidized nickel foam used as support for TiO2 was detrimental. Most likely, different mechanisms of electron transfer between Ni-TiO2 and NiO-TiO2 occurred. The application of nickel foam greatly enhanced the separation of free carriers in TiO2. As a consequence, high yields from the photocatalytic reactions were obtained.

Abstract
Among diverse strategies to manage air quality, catalytic oxidation has been a widely used option to mitigate diverse pollutants such as aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), especially benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX). For such applications, TiO2-based catalysts have drawn significant research attention for their prominent photo/thermal catalytic activities and photochemical stability. This review has been organized to elaborate on the recent developments achieved in the thermocatalytic, photocatalytic, and photothermal applications of metal/non-metal doped TiO2 catalysts towards BTX vapors and their reaction mechanisms. The performance of the reported TiO2-based catalysts has also been analyzed based on multiple computational metrics such as reaction rate (r), quantum yield (QY), space-time yield, and figure of merit (FOM). At last, the research gap and prospects in the catalytic treatment of BTX are also discussed in association with the feasibility and utility of TiO2-based catalysts in air purification applications.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has become a worldwide issue. Rapid industrial and agricultural practices have increased organic contaminants in water supplies. Hence, many strategies have been developed to address this concern. In order to supply clean water for various applications, high-performance treatment technology is required to effectively remove organic and inorganic contaminants. Utilizing photocatalytic membrane reactors (PMRs) has shown promise as a viable alternative process in the water and wastewater industry due to its efficiency, low cost, simplicity, and low environmental impact. PMRs are commonly categorized into two main categories: those with the photocatalyst suspended in solution and those with the photocatalyst immobilized in/on a membrane. Herein, the working and fouling mechanisms in PMRs membranes are investigated; the interplay of fouling and photocatalytic activity and the development of fouling prevention strategies are elucidated; and the significance of photocatalysis in membrane fouling mechanisms such as pore plugging and cake layering is thoroughly explored.

Abstract
In this contribution, a series of Pd-promoted Nb-doped titania samples were essayed in the gas-phase thermo-photo production of syngas from methanol/water mixtures. The Pd loading was tested in the 0.1 to 2.5 wt % range, leading to the presence of metallic nanoparticles under reaction. Reaction rates exceeding 52 mmol H2 g-1 h-1 and quantum efficiencies above 33% were obtained. The optimum sample having a 0.5 wt % of Pd provided an outstanding synergy between light and heat under reaction conditions, facilitating the boost of activity with respect to the single-source processes and achieving high selectivity to syngas. The spectroscopic analysis of the physico-chemical ground of the activity unveiled that the noble metal interaction with the Nb-doped anatase support triggers a cooperative effect, promoting the evolution of formic acid-type methanol-derived carbon-containing species and rendering a significant enhancement of syngas production. The proposed thermo-photo system is thus a firm candidate to contribute to the new green circular economy.

Abstract
An environmentally friendly solvent-free approach was tested using spent coffee as a biomass sacrificial template for the preparation of TiO2 modified with CeOx. The use of coffee as a template pursues the preparation of a nanostructured heterojunction without the need for a solvent. Two variables were optimized in the synthesis process, i.e. calcination temperature and proportion of CeOx. Firstly, bare coffee-template titania was prepared to explore the effect of the calcination temperature, within 500-650 °C. The anatase phase was obtained up to 600 °C. Higher temperatures, i.e. 650 °C, led to the appearance of rutile (10%) and efficient removal of the sacrificial agent (0.6% residue). The maximum photocatalytic activity in terms of conversion, in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol, was achieved employing the bare coffee-template TiO2 at 650 °C, and it was found comparable to the benchmarked P25. The incorporation of ceria in the solvent-free approach considerably improved photocatalytic benzaldehyde production. No changes in the XRD pattern of TiO2 were appreciated in the presence of ceria due to the low amount added, within 1.5-6.0%, confirmed by XPS as superficial Ce3+/Ce4+. The UV-visible absorption spectra were considerably redshifted in the presence of Ce, reducing the bandgap values of bare titania. An optimum amount of ceria in the structure within 3-0% was found. In this case, the selectivity towards benzaldehyde was ca. 75%, 3 times higher than the selectivity value registered for the benchmarked P25 or the bare prepared TiO2.

Abstract
Due to the growing demand for hydrogen, the photocatalytic hydrogen production from alcohols present an intriguing prospect as a potential source of low-cost renewable energy. The noble metals (Ag, Au, Pd and Pt) deposited LaMnO3 nanocomposites were synthesized by a non-conventional green bio-reduction method using aqueous lemon peel extract, which acts as both reducing and capping agent. The successful deposition of the noble metals on the surface of LaMnO3 was verified by using powder XRD, FTIR, TEM, N2-physisorption, DR UV-vis spectroscopy, and XPS techniques. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanocomposites was tested for photocatalytic H2 production under visible light irradiation. Different photocatalytic reaction parameters such as reaction time, pH, catalyst mass and reaction temperature were investigated to optimize the reaction conditions for synthesized nanocomposites. Among the synthesized noble metal deposited LaMnO3 nanocomposites, the Pt-LaMnO3 nanocomposite offered superior activity for H2 production. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the Pt-LaMnO3 was found as a result from low bandgap energy, high photoelectrons generation and enhanced charge separation due to deposition of Pt nanoparticles. The effective noble metal deposition delivers a new route for the development of plasmonic noble metal-LaMnO3 nanocomposites for photocatalytic reforming of aqueous methanol to hydrogen.

Herein, we report a specific bifunctional 2D/2D g-C3N4/BiO2-x nanosheets heterojunction, prepared through a self-assembly approach. Delightfully, the obtained 2D/2D heterojunctions exhibited satisfactory photocatalytic disinfection performance towards Escherichia coli K-12 (E. coli K-12) under visible light irradiation, which was credited to the Z-scheme interfacial heterojunction facilitating the migration of photogenerated carries. The photoactivity enhancement driven by NIR light illumination was ascribed to the cooperative synergy effect of photothermal effect and "hot electrons", engineering efficient charge transfer. Intriguingly, the carboxyl groups emerged on g-C3N4 nanosheets contributed a vital role in establishing the enhanced photocatalytic reaction. Moreover, the disinfection mechanism was systematically described. The cell membrane was destroyed, evidenced by the generation of lipid peroxidation reaction and loss of energy metabolism. Subsequently, the damage of defense enzymes and release of intracellular constituents announced the irreversible death of E. coli K-12. Interestingly enough, considerable microbial community shifts of surface water were observed after visible and NIR light exposure, highlighting the critical feature of disinfection process in shaping microbial communities. The authors believe that this work gives a fresh light on the feasibility of heterostructures-enabled disinfection processes.

Abstract
It is challenging to maximize the utilization of solar energy using photocatalysis or photothermal catalysis alone. Herein, we report a full spectrum solar energy driven photothermal-assisted photocatalytic hydrogen production over CuNi bimetallic nanoparticles co-loaded with graphitized carbon nitride nanosheet layers (CuxNiy/CN) which are prepared by a facile in-situ reduction method. Cu5Ni5/CN shows a high hydrogen production rate of 267.8 μmol g-1 h-1 at room temperature, which is 70.5 and 1.34 times of that for pure CN (3.8 μmol g-1 h-1) and 0.5 wt% Pt/CN (216 μmol g-1 h-1), respectively. The photothermal catalytic hydrogen activity can be further increased by 3.7 times when reaction solution is external heated to 100 °C. For the photothermal catalytic system, the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect over active Cu nanoparticles can absorb near-infrared light to generate hot electrons, which are partially quenched to generate heat for heating of the reaction system and partially transported to the active sites, where the Ni nanoparticles as another functional component couple the electrons and heat to finally promote the photothermal catalytic activity. Our result suggests that a rational design of the catalyst with bifunctional atomic components can photothermocatalysis-assisted photocatalysis to maximize utilization solar energy for efficient full spectrum conversion.

Abstract
Thermo-photo catalysis, which is the catalysis with the participation of both thermal and photo energies, not only reduces the large energy consumption of thermal catalysis but also addresses the low efficiency of photocatalysis. As a whole greater than the sum of its parts, thermo-photo catalysis has been proven as an effective and promising technology to drive chemical reactions. In this review, we first clarify the definition (beyond photo-thermal catalysis and plasmonic catalysis), classification, and principles of thermo-photo catalysis and then reveal its superiority over individual thermal catalysis and photocatalysis. After elucidating the design principles and strategies toward highly efficient thermo-photo catalytic systems, an ample discussion on the synergetic effects of thermal and photo energies is provided from two perspectives, namely, the promotion of photocatalysis by thermal energy and the promotion of thermal catalysis by photo energy. Subsequently, state-of-the-art techniques applied to explore thermo-photo catalytic mechanisms are reviewed, followed by a summary on the broad applications of thermo-photo catalysis and its energy management toward industrialization. In the end, current challenges and potential research directions related to thermo-photo catalysis are outlined.

Abstract
Photo-thermo catalytic hydrogen production represents one of the most promising routes for channeling solar energy but typically suffers from high reaction temperatures. In this work, we develop photo-thermo catalytic hydrogen production at low temperatures by cost-effective, nonplasmonic, and metal-free nitrogen-doped carbon materials (CNO1-x). We demonstrate that due to the photothermal conversion of CNO1-x, carrier generation is improved and electron migration is enhanced to suppress the recombination of electron-hole pairs, both of which promote hydrogen production by photocatalysis, while generated hydrogen radicals facilitate the regeneration of active sites for hydrogen production by thermocatalysis. Such synergy greatly promotes photo-thermo catalytic hydrogen production at low temperatures. These results demonstrate the great promise of photo-thermo catalytic hydrogen production over carbon materials at low temperatures.

Abstract
With the development of society, energy shortage and environmental problems have become more and more outstanding. Solar energy is a clean and sustainable energy resource, potentially driving energy conversion and environmental remediation reactions. Thus, solar-driven chemistry is an attractive way to solve the two problems. Photothermal chemistry (PTC) is developed to achieve full-spectral utilization of the solar radiation and drive chemical reactions more efficiently under relatively mild conditions. In this review, the mechanisms of PTC are summarized from the aspects of thermal and non-thermal effects, and then the interaction and synergy between these two effects are sorted out. In this paper, distinguishing and quantifying these two effects is discussed to understand PTC processes better and to design PTC catalysts more methodically. However, PTC is still a little far away from practical. Herein, several key points, which must be considered when pushing ahead with the engineering application of PTC, are proposed, along with some workable suggestions on the practical application. This review provides a unique perspective on PTC, focusing on the synergistic effects and pointing out a possible direction for practical application.

Abstract
Plasmonic photocatalysis has emerged as a prominent and growing field. It enables the efficient use of sunlight as an abundant and renewable energy source to drive a myriad of chemical reactions. For instance, plasmonic photocatalysis in materials comprising TiO2 and plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) enables effective charge carrier separation and the tuning of optical response to longer wavelength regions (visible and near infrared). In fact, TiO2 -based materials and plasmonic effects are at the forefront of heterogeneous photocatalysis, having applications in energy conversion, production of liquid fuels, wastewater treatment, nitrogen fixation, and organic synthesis. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the fundamentals and to provide the guidelines for future work in the field of TiO2 -based plasmonic photocatalysis comprising the above-mentioned applications. The concepts and state-of-the-art description of important parameters including the formation of Schottky junctions, hot electron generation and transfer, near field electromagnetic enhancement, plasmon resonance energy transfer, scattering, and photothermal heating effects have been covered in this review. Synthetic approaches and the effect of various physicochemical parameters in plasmon-mediated TiO2 -based materials on performances are discussed. It is envisioned that this review may inspire and provide insights into the rational development of the next generation of TiO2 -based plasmonic photocatalysts with target performances and enhanced selectivities.

Abstract
The design of artificial photocatalytic devices that simulates the ingenious and efficient photosynthetic systems in nature is promising. Herein, a metal-organic cage [Pd6(NPyCzPF)12]12+ (MOC-PC6) integrating 12 organic ligands NPyCzBP and 6 Pd2+ catalytic centers is designed, which is well defined to include organic dye fluorescein (FL) for constructing a supramolecular photochemical molecular device (SPMD) FL@MOC-PC6. Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) between MOC-PC6 and the encapsulated FL has been observed by steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy. FL@MOC-PC6 is successfully heterogenized with TiO2 by a facile sol-gel method to achieve a robust heterogeneous FL@MOC-PC6-TiO2. The close proximity between the Pd2+ catalytic site and FL included in the cage enables PET from the photoexcited FL to Pd2+ sites through a powerful intramolecular pathway. The photocatalytic hydrogen production assessments of the optimized 4 wt % FL@MOC-PC6-TiO2 demonstrate an initial H2 production rate of 2402 μmol g-1 h-1 and a turnover number of 4356 within 40 h, enhanced by 15-fold over that of a homogeneous FL@MOC-PC6. The effect of the MOC content on photocatalytic H2 evolution (PHE) is investigated and the inefficient comparison systems, such as MOC-PC6, MOC-PC6-TiO2, FL-sensitized MOC-PC6/FL-TiO2, and analogue FL/MOC-PC6-TiO2 with free FL, are evaluated. This study provides a creative and distinctive approach for the design and preparation of novel heterogeneous SPMD catalysts based on MOCs.

Abstract
This paper addresses an innovative approach to improve CO2 photoreduction via process intensification. The principle of CO2 photoreduction using process intensification is presented and reviewed. Process intensification via concentrating solar light technology is developed and demonstrated. The concept consists in rising the incident light intensity as well as the reaction temperature and pressure during CO2 photoreduction using concentrating solar light. A solar reactor system using concentrated sunlight was accordingly designed and set up. The distribution of light intensity and temperature in the reactor was modeled and simulated. CO2 photoreduction performance in the reactor system was assessed, and the reaction temperature and pressure evolution were recorded. The results showed that the light intensity, temperature, and pressure could be effectively increased and irradiation on the catalyst surface followed a Gaussian distribution. The CO2 photoreduction reaction rates were enhanced to hundreds of times.

Abstract
External electric fields (EEFs) have proven to be very efficient in catalysing chemical reactions, even those inaccessible via wet-chemical synthesis. At the single-molecule level, oriented EEFs have been successfully used to promote in situ single-molecule reactions in the absence of chemical catalysts. Here, we elucidate the effect of an EEFs on the structure and conductance of a molecular junction. Employing scanning tunnelling microscopy break junction (STM-BJ) experiments, we form and electrically characterize single-molecule junctions of two tetramethyl carotene isomers. Two discrete conductance signatures show up more prominently at low and high applied voltages which are univocally ascribed to the trans and cis isomers of the carotenoid, respectively. The difference in conductance between both cis-/trans- isomers is in concordance with previous predictions considering π-quantum interference due to the presence of a single gauche defect in the trans isomer. Electronic structure calculations suggest that the electric field polarizes the molecule and mixes the excited states. The mixed states have a (spectroscopically) allowed transition and, therefore, can both promote the cis-isomerization of the molecule and participate in electron transport. Our work opens new routes for the in situ control of isomerisation reactions in single-molecule contacts.

Turning Carbon Dioxide and Ethane into Ethanol by Solar-Driven Heterogeneous Photocatalysis over RuO2- and NiO-co-Doped SrTiO3. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
The current work focused on the sunlight-driven thermo-photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary greenhouse gas, by ethane (C2H6), the second most abundant element in shale gas, aiming at the generation of ethanol (EtOH), a renewable fuel. To promote this process, a hybrid catalyst was prepared and properly characterized, comprising of strontium titanate (SrTiO3) co-doped with ruthenium oxide (RuO2) and nickel oxide (NiO). The photocatalytic activity towards EtOH production was assessed in batch-mode and at gas-phase, under the influence of different conditions: (i) dopant loading; (ii) temperature; (iii) optical radiation wavelength; (vi) consecutive uses; and (v) electron scavenger addition. From the results here obtained, it was found that: (i) the functionalization of the SrTiO3 with RuO2 and NiO allows the visible light harvest and narrows the band gap energy (ca. 14–20%); (ii) the selectivity towards EtOH depends on the presence of Ni and irradiation; (iii) the catalyst photoresponse is mainly due to the visible photons; (iv) the photocatalyst loses > 50% efficiency right after the 2nd use; (v) the reaction mechanism is based on the photogenerated electron-hole pair charge separation; and (vi) a maximum yield of 64 μmol EtOH gcat−1 was obtained after 45-min (85 μmol EtOH gcat−1 h−1) of simulated solar irradiation (1000 W m−2) at 200 °C, using 0.4 g L−1 of SrTiO3:RuO2:NiO (0.8 wt.% Ru) with [CO2]:[C2H6] and [Ru]:[Ni] molar ratios of 1:3 and 1:1, respectively. Notwithstanding, despite its exploratory nature, this study offers an alternative route to solar fuels’ synthesis from the underutilized C2H6 and CO2.

The CPV “Toolbox”: New Approaches to Maximizing Solar Resource Utilization with Application-Oriented Concentrator Photovoltaics. ENERGIES 2021.

Abstract
As the scaling of silicon PV cells and module manufacturing has driven solar energy penetration up and costs down, concentrator photovoltaic technologies, originally conceived as a cost-saving measure, have largely been left behind. The loss of market share by CPV is being locked in even as solar energy development encounters significant obstacles related to space constraints in many parts of the world. The inherently higher collection efficiency enabled by the use of concentrators could substantially alleviate these challenges, but the revival of CPV for this purpose requires substantial reinvention of the technology to actually capture the theoretically possible efficiency gains, and to do so at market-friendly costs. This article will discuss recent progress in key areas central to this reinvention, including miniaturization of cells and optics to produce compact, lightweight “micro-CPV” systems; hybridization of CPV with thermal, illumination and other applications to make use of unused energy streams such as diffuse light and waste heat; and the integration of sun-tracking into the CPV module architecture to enable greater light collection and more flexible deployment, including integration into built structures. Applications showing particular promise include thermal applications such as water heating, industrial processes and desalination; agricultural photovoltaics; building-integrated photovoltaics with dynamic daylighting capabilities; and chemical processes including photocatalysis and hydrogen production. By appropriately tailoring systems to the available solar resource and local energy demand, we demonstrate how CPV can finally achieve real-world efficiencies, or solar resource utilization factors, far higher than those of standard silicon-based PV systems. This makes the argument for sustained development of novel CPV designs that can be applied to the real-world settings where this efficiency boost will be most beneficial.

Abstract
Furans represent one of the most important classes of intermediates in the conversion of non-edible lignocellulosic biomass into bio-based chemicals and fuels. At present, bio-furan derivatives are generally obtained from cellulose and hemicellulose fractions of biomass via the acid-catalyzed dehydration of their relative C6-C5 sugars and then converted into a wide range of products. Furfural (FUR) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are surely the most used furan-based feedstocks since their chemical structure allows the preparation of various high-value-added chemicals. Among several well-established catalytic approaches, hydrogenation and oxygenation processes have been efficiently adopted for upgrading furans; however, harsh reaction conditions are generally required. In this review, we aim to discuss the conversion of biomass derived FUR and HMF through unconventional (transfer hydrogenation, photocatalytic and electrocatalytic) catalytic processes promoted by heterogeneous catalytic systems. The reaction conditions adopted, the chemical nature and the physico-chemical properties of the most employed heterogeneous systems in enhancing the catalytic activity and in driving the selectivity to desired products are presented and compared. At the same time, the latest results in the production of FUR and HMF through novel environmental friendly processes starting from lignocellulose as well as from wastes and by-products obtained in the processing of biomass are also overviewed.

Abstract
The efficient conversion of solar energy by means of photocatalysis shows huge potential to relieve the ongoing energy crisis and increasing environmental pollution. However, unsatisfactory conversion efficiency still hinders its practical application. The introduction of external fields can remarkably enhance the photocatalytic performance of semiconductors from the inside out. This review focuses on recent advances in the application of diverse external fields, including microwaves, mechanical stress, temperature gradient, electric field, magnetic field, and coupled fields, to boost photocatalytic reactions, for applications in, for example, contaminant degradation, water splitting, CO2 reduction, and bacterial inactivation. The relevant reinforcement mechanisms of photoabsorption, the transport and separation of photoinduced charges, and adsorption of reagents by the external fields are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and outlook for the development of external-field-enhanced photocatalysis are presented.

Abstract
Single-atom photocatalysts have demonstrated an enormous potential in producing value-added chemicals and/or fuels using sustainable and clean solar light to replace fossil fuels causing global energy and environmental issues. These photocatalysts not only exhibit outstanding activities, selectivity, and stabilities due to their distinct electronic structures and unsaturated coordination centers but also tremendously reduce the consumption of catalytic metals owing to the atomic dispersion of catalytic species. Besides, the single-atom active sites facilitate the elucidation of reaction mechanisms and understanding of the structure-performance relationships. Presently, apart from the well-known reactions (H2 production, N2 fixation, and CO2 conversion), various novel reactions are successfully catalyzed by single-atom photocatalysts possessing high efficiency, selectivity, and stability. In this contribution, we summarize and discuss the design and fabrication of single-atom photocatalysts for three different kinds of emerging reactions (i.e., reduction reactions, oxidation reactions, as well as redox reactions) to generate desirable chemicals and/or fuels. The relationships between the composition/structure of single-atom photocatalysts and their activity/selectivity/stability are explained in detail. Additionally, the insightful reaction mechanisms of single-atom photocatalysts are also introduced. Finally, we propose the possible opportunities in this area for the design and fabrication of brand-new high-performance single-atom photocatalysts.

Abstract
Plasmonic photocatalysts combining metallic nanoparticles and semiconductors have been aimed as versatile alternatives to drive light-assisted catalytic chemical reactions beyond the ultraviolet (UV) regions, and overcome one of the major drawbacks of the most exploited photocatalysts (TiO2 or ZnO). The strong size and morphology dependence of metallic nanostructures to tune their visible to near-infrared (vis-NIR) light harvesting capabilities has been combined with the design of a wide variety of architectures for the semiconductor supports to promote the selective activity of specific crystallographic facets. The search for efficient heterojunctions has been subjected to numerous studies, especially those involving gold nanostructures and titania semiconductors. In the present review, we paid special attention to the most recent advances in the design of gold-semiconductor hetero-nanostructures including emerging metal oxides such as cerium oxide or copper oxide (CeO2 or Cu2O) or metal chalcogenides such as copper sulfide or cadmium sulfides (CuS or CdS). These alternative hybrid materials were thoroughly built in past years to target research fields of strong impact, such as solar energy conversion, water splitting, environmental chemistry, or nanomedicine. Herein, we evaluate the influence of tuning the morphologies of the plasmonic gold nanostructures or the semiconductor interacting structures, and how these variations in geometry, either individual or combined, have a significant influence on the final photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Based on recent examples and initiatives reported in the literature, this concept article discusses how chemistry can contribute to the circular economy approach in order to improve our current and future economical, societal, and environmental system. Through five proposed levels of contribution, chemists can take a significant part in this global approach via the consideration of green chemistry principles, the simplification of syntheses, the limitation of complex products preparation, the efficient utilization of resources but also the novel ways of waste valorization. A more systematic and generalized environmental and economic assessment from the lab-scale is also recommended. At last, chemists have to work even more collaboratively and in a multidisciplinary way, within chemistry and beyond.

Abstract
Light-driven photothermocatalysis can provide enough energy to reach light-off temperature of VOCs on the surface of catalyst without auxiliary heat source. Herein, we synthesized noble-metal supported manganese oxide catalysts (xPt/MO) and studied their photothermal catalytic behavior of toluene degradation, where 1 Pt/MO (1 wt.% loading of Pt) and 2 Pt/MO (2 wt.% loading of Pt) exhibited more than 90 % of conversion and 70 % of mineralization under illumination of 200 mW/cm2 light intensity with a value of 30,000 mL/(g·h) for weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), respectively. Comparison to pure MO, 1 Pt/MO owns a good photothermal catalytic stability for at least 60 h without obvious deactivation. The introduction of Pt promotes the crystallization of MO (verified by XRD and TEM analysis) and enhances the mobility of surface/sub-surface lattice oxygen (verified by O2-TPD, H2-TPR and CO consumption). It is proved that illumination not only supplies thermal energy to trigger the reaction of toluene oxidation but also further evoke more lattice oxygen on Pt/MO to participate in toluene decomposition.
