Abstract
This work describes a controlled and low-cost synthesis method to obtain Pb/Pb3O4 nanocomposites using synthetic zeolite 4A. The nanostructures obtained have a core-shell configuration with 5-25 nm diameters. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), BF, high-angle annular dark-field annular scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) characterization techniques were used. Crystallographic planes (111), (200), and (220) for the core and planes (110) and (211) for the shell, corresponding to FCC and tetragonal structures for Pb and Pb3O4, respectively, were determined using HRTEM. The HAADF-STEM images allowed the analysis of intensity contrast images proportional to the number of atoms. XPS spectral analysis showed a 4.8 eV difference in binding energy between Pb 4f7/2 and Pb 4f5/2 for lead and lead oxide. EDS elemental mapping, XPS, and UV-vis spectroscopy analyses revealed the simultaneous presence of lead and lead oxide in the same structure. The band gap obtained for the shell was determined to be 4.50 eV. Consequently, Pb/Pb3O4 nanocomposites show a higher response to high-energy photons, making them suitable for UV photocatalysis applications.

Abstract
Bismuth-based catalysts exhibit excellent activity and selectivity for the electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2). However, single-component bismuth-based catalysts are not satisfactory for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formic acid, mainly due to their high hydrogen production, low electrical conductivity, and small catalytic current density. Herein, we used a coordination strategy to recombine Bi and In at the molecular level to form Bi/In bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which were then calcined to obtain MOF-derived Bi/In bimetallic oxide nanoparticles embedded in carbon networks. Thanks to the synergistic effect of bimetallic components, high specific surface area, suitable pore size distribution, and high electrical conductivity of the carbon network, the material exhibits excellent activity and selectivity for electroreduction of CO2 to formate. In H-type electrolyzers, the formate Faradaic efficiency reaches 91% at -0.9 V (vs RHE) and does not decrease significantly within 48 h. In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirms the reaction intermediates and reveals that CO2 electroreduction is dominant by the *OCHO pathway.

Abstract
Applying organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) to photocatalytic nitrogen fixation is hindered long-term by the inherent instability in water and tedious preparations. Here, to realize PQD-catalyzed photocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (NRR), water-resistant PQDs are simply prepared through one-step electrospray synthesis in microseconds. During the fast electrospray, PQDs of Zn/PbO-doped methylammonium lead bromide (Zn/PbO/PC-Zn/MAPbBr3 , MA: CH3 NH3 ) are prepared and part-encapsulated by polycarbonate. The synthesis maintains good water resistance, whose restriction on charge transport is overcome skillfully. Simultaneously, substitution of Zn with Pb on water-resistant surface is also achieved, which fabricates new Zn-oxygen vacancies (Zn-OVs) with Zn/PbO-Zn/MAPbBr3 type I heterojunction. This facilitates efficient electron transfer from internal heterojunction interface of Zn/MAPbBr3 PQDs to the surface of Zn/PbO. Demonstrated by theoretical calculations, Zn-OVs promote chemisorption and polarization of N2 . In addition, s-electrons in exposed Zn become active due to changes of electron filling of Zn orbitals under OVs' co-doping. Thus, photocatalytic N2 reduction reaction catalyzed by organic-inorganic hybrid PQDs is first achieved in aqueous phase without sacrificial agents being added. This initiates possibilities for photocatalytic applications of organic-inorganic hybrid PQDs in aqueous phase.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) can store and transform the intermittent renewable energy in the form of chemical energy for industrial production of chemicals and fuels, which can dramatically reduce CO2 emission and contribute to carbon-neutral cycle. Efficient electrocatalytic reduction of chemically inert CO2 is challenging from thermodynamic and kinetic points of view. Therefore, low-cost, highly efficient, and readily available electrocatalysts have been the focus for promoting the conversion of CO2. Very recently, interface engineering has been considered as a highly effective strategy to modulate the electrocatalytic performance through electronic and/or structural modulation, regulations of electron/proton/mass/intermediates, and the control of local reactant concentration, thereby achieving desirable reaction pathway, inhibiting competing hydrogen generation, breaking binding-energy scaling relations of intermediates, and promoting CO2 mass transfer. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of current developments in interface engineering for CO2RR from both a theoretical and experimental standpoint, involving interfaces between metal and metal, metal and metal oxide, metal and nonmetal, metal oxide and metal oxide, organic molecules and inorganic materials, electrode and electrolyte, molecular catalysts and electrode, etc. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of interface engineering for CO2RR are proposed.
