Abstract
The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals with two or more carbons (C2+) is a promising strategy that cannot only mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions but also reduce the excessive dependence on fossil feedstocks. In recent years, atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADCs), including single-atom catalysts (SACs), dual-atom catalysts (DACs), and single-cluster catalysts (SCCs), emerged as attractive candidates for CO2 fixation reactions due to their unique properties, such as the maximum utilization of active sites, tunable electronic structure, the efficient elucidation of catalytic mechanism, etc. This review provides an overview of significant progress in the synthesis and characterization of ADCs utilized in photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and thermocatalytic conversion of CO2 toward high-value C2+ compounds. To provide insights for designing efficient ADCs toward the C2+ chemical synthesis originating from CO2, the key factors that influence the catalytic activity and selectivity are highlighted. Finally, the relevant challenges and opportunities are discussed to inspire new ideas for the generation of CO2-based C2+ products over ADCs.

Abstract
Tuning electronic characteristics of metal-ligand bonds based on reaction pathways to achieve efficient catalytic processes has been widely studied and proven to be feasible in homogeneous catalysis, but it is scarcely investigated in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we demonstrate the regulation of the electronic configuration of Ir-O bonds in an Ir single-atom catalyst according to the borane activation mechanism. Ir-O bonds in Ir1/Ni(OH)x are found to be more electron-poor than those in Ir1/NiOx. Despite the mild solvent-free conditions and ambient temperature, Ir1/Ni(OH)x exhibits outstanding performance for the hydroboration of alkenes, furnishing the desired alkylboronic esters with a turnover frequency value of ≤3060 h-1 and 99% anti-Markovnikov selectivity, which is significantly better than that of Ir1/NiOx (42 h-1). It is further proven that the more electron-poor Ir-O bonds as active centers are more oxidative and so benefit the activation of the H-B bond in the reductive pinacolborane.

Abstract
The elimination of toluene is an obligatory target with increasing VOC emission in recent years. This study successfully prepared a single-atom Ir catalyst (Ir1/CeO2) by a simple incipient wetness impregnation method, confirmed by in situ CO DRIFTS and AC-HAADF-STEM. Compared to the cluster Ir catalyst (Ir/CeO2-C), Ir1/CeO2 exhibited excellent catalytic performance, stability, and water resistance for the oxidation of toluene. By Raman, H2-TPR, O2-TPD, and XPS experiments, abundant oxygen defects and a unique Ir3+-Ov-Ce3+ structure were formed for the Ir1/CeO2 sample because it had a lower oxygen vacancy formation energy. Furthermore, the DFT results revealed that the Ir1/CeO2 sample had a lower ring-opening energy barrier and adsorption energy of the ring-opening products, which was the rate-determining step for the oxidation of toluene. This work provides instructive insights into the construction of Ir/CeO2 catalysts for the highly efficient removal of VOCs.

Abstract
It is essential to probe the coordination number (CN) because it is a crucial factor to ensure the catalytic capability of single-atom catalysts (SACs). Currently, synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is widely used to measure the CN. However, the scarcity of synchrotron X-ray source and complicated data analysis restrict its wide applications in determining the CN of SACs. In this contribution, we have developed a d-band center-regulated acetone cataluminescence (CTL) probe for a rapid screening of the CN of Pt-SACs. It is disclosed that the CN-triggered CTL is attributed to the fact that the increased CN could induce the downward shift of d-band center position, which assists the acetone adsorption and promotes the subsequent catalytic reaction. In addition, the universality of the proposed acetone-CTL probe is verified by determining the CN of Fe-SACs. This work has opened a new avenue for exploring an alternative to synchrotron XAS for the determination of CN of SACs and even conventional metal catalysts through d-band center-regulated CTL.

Abstract
Electrolysis for producing hydrogen powered by renewable electricity can be dramatically expanded by adapting different electrolytes (brine, seawater or pure water), which means the anode materials must stand up to complex electrolyte conditions. Here, a novel catalyst/support hybrid of binary Ru3.5Ir1Ox supported by barium strontium sulfate (BaSrSO4) was synthesized (RuIrOx/BSS) by exchanging the anion ligands of support. The as-synthesized RuIrOx/BSS exhibits compelling oxygen evolution (OER) and chlorine evolution (CER) performances, which affords to 10 mA cm-2 with only overpotential of 244 mV and 38 mV, respectively. The performed X-ray adsorption spectra clearly indicate the presence of an interface charge transfer effect, which results in the assignment of more electrons to the d orbitals of the Ru and Ir sites. The theoretical calculations demonstrated that the electronic structures of the catalytic active sites were modulated to give a lower overpotential, confirming the intrinsically high OER and CER catalytic activity.

Abstract
The atomically dispersed metal catalysts with full atomic utilization and well-defined site structure hold great promise for various catalytic reactions. However, the single metallic site limits the comprehensive reaction performance in most reactions. Here, we demonstrated a photo-induced neighbour-deposition strategy for the precise synthesis of diatomic Ir1 Pd1 on In2 O3 applied for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. The proximity synergism between diatomic sites enabled a striking promotion in both CO2 conversion (10.5 %) and methanol selectivity (97 %) with good stability of 100 h run. It resulted in record-breaking space-time yield to methanol (187.1 gMeOH gmetal -1 hour-1 ). The promotional effect mainly originated from stronger CO2 adsorption on Ir site with assistance of H-spillover from Pd site, thus leading to a lower energy barrier for *HCOO pathway. It was confirmed that this synergistic effect strongly depended on the dual-site distance in an angstrom scale, which was attributed to weaker *H spillover and less electron transfer from Pd to Ir site as the Pd-to-Ir distance increased. The average dual-site distance was evaluated by our firstly proposed photoelectric model. Thus, this study introduced a pioneering strategy to precisely synthesize homonuclear/heteronuclear diatomic catalysts for facilitating the desired reaction route via diatomic synergistic catalysis.

Abstract
Formic acid (FA) holds significant potential as a liquid hydrogen storage medium. However, it is important to improve the reaction rates and extend the practical applications of FA dehydrogenation and Cr(VI) reduction through the development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts. This study reports the synthesis of a uniformly dispersed PdAuIr nanoparticles (NPs) catalyst loaded with amine groups covalent organic frameworks (COFs). The alloyed NPs demonstrated exceptional effectiveness in FA dehydrogenation rate and Cr(VI) reduction. The initial turnover of frequency (TOF) value for FA dehydrogenation without additives was 9970 h-1 at 298 K, the apparent activation energy (Ea) was 30.3 kJ/mol and the rate constant (k) for Cr(VI) reduction was 0.742 min-1. Additionally, it showcased the ability to undergo recycling up to six times with minimal degradation in performance. The results indicate that its remarkable catalytic performance can be attributed primarily to the favorable mass transfer attributes of the aminated COFs supports, the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI), and the synergistic effects among the metals. This study offers a novel perspective on the advancement of efficient and durable heterogeneous catalysts with diverse capabilities, thereby making significant contributions to the fields of energy and environmental preservation.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO2 RR), as an emerging technology, can combine with sustainable energies to convert CO2 into high value-added products, providing an effective pathway to realize carbon neutrality. However, the high activation energy of CO2 , low mass transfer, and competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) leads to the unsatisfied catalytic activity. Recently, Indium (In)-based materials have attracted significant attention in CO2 RR and a series of regulation strategies of nanostructured engineering are exploited to rationally design various advanced In-based electrocatalysts, which forces the necessary of a comprehensive and fundamental summary, but there is still a scarcity. Herein, this review provides a systematic discussion of the nanostructure engineering of In-based materials for the efficient electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to fuels. These efficient regulation strategies including morphology, size, composition, defects, surface modification, interfacial structure, alloying, and single-atom structure, are summarized for exploring the internal relationship between the CO2 RR performance and the physicochemical properties of In-based catalysts. The correlation of electronic structure and adsorption behavior of reaction intermediates are highlighted to gain in-depth understanding of catalytic reaction kinetics for CO2 RR. Moreover, the challenges and opportunities of In-based materials are proposed, which is expected to inspire the development of other effective catalysts for CO2 RR.

Abstract
Solar hydrogen production at a high efficiency holds the significant importance in the age of energy crisis, while the micro-environment manipulation of active sites on photocatalysts plays a profound role in enhancing the catalytic performance. In this work, a series of well-defined single-site Ni-grafted TiO2 photocatalysts with unique and specific coordination environments, 2,2'-bipyridine-Ni-O-TiO2 (T-Ni Bpy) and 2-Phenylpyridine-Ni-O-TiO2 (T-Ni Phpy), were constructed with the methods of surface organometallic chemistry combined with surface ligand exchange for visible-light-induced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A prominent rate of 33.82 μmol ⋅ g-1 ⋅ h-1 and a turnover frequency of 0.451 h-1 for Ni are achieved over the optimal catalyst T-Ni Bpy for HER, 260-fold higher than those of Ni-O-TiO2 . Fewer electrons trapped oxygen vacancies and a larger portion of long-lived photogenerated electrons (>3 ns, ~52.9 %), which were demonstrated by the electron paramagnetic resonance and femtosecond transient IR absorption, correspond to the photocatalytic HER activity over the T-Ni Bpy. The number of long-lived free electrons injected from the Ni photoabsorber to the conduction band of TiO2 is one of the determining factors for achieving the excellent HER activity.

Abstract
Aprotic lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries are considered to be a promising alternative option to lithium-ion batteries for high gravimetric energy storage devices. However, the sluggish electrochemical kinetics, the passivation, and the structural damage to the cathode caused by the solid discharge products have greatly hindered the practical application of Li-O2 batteries. Herein, the nonsolid-state discharge products of the off-stoichiometric Li1-xO2 in the electrolyte solutions are achieved by iridium (Ir) single-atom-based porous organic polymers (termed as Ir/AP-POP) as a homogeneous, soluble electrocatalyst for Li-O2 batteries. In particular, the numerous atomic active sites act as the main nucleation sites of O2-related discharge reactions, which are favorable to interacting with O2-/LiO2 intermediates in the electrolyte solutions, owing to the highly similar lattice-matching effect between the in situ-formed Ir3Li and LiO2, achieving a nonsolid LiO2 as the final discharge product in the electrolyte solutions for Li-O2 batteries. Consequently, the Li-O2 battery with a soluble Ir/AP-POP electrocatalyst exhibits an ultrahigh discharge capacity of 12.8 mAh, an ultralow overpotential of 0.03 V, and a long cyclic life of 700 h with the carbon cloth cathode. The manipulation of nonsolid discharge products in aprotic Li-O2 batteries breaks the traditional growth mode of Li2O2, bringing Li-O2 batteries closer to being a viable technology.

Abstract
The persistent issue of CO2 emissions and their subsequent impact on the Earth's atmosphere can be effectively addressed through the utilization of efficient photocatalysts. Employing a sustainable carbon cycle via photocatalysis presents a promising technology for simultaneously managing the greenhouse effect and the energy dilemma. However, the efficiency of energy conversion encounters limitations due to inadequate carrier utilization and a deficiency of reactive sites. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have demonstrated exceptional performance in efficiently addressing the aforementioned challenges. This review article commences with an overview of SAC types, structures, fundamentals, synthesis strategies, and characterizations, providing a logical foundation for the design and properties of SACs based on the correlation between their structure and efficiency. Additionally, we delve into the general mechanism and the role of SACs in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Furthermore, we furnish a comprehensive survey of the latest advancements in SACs concerning their capacity to enhance efficiency, long-term stability, and selectivity in CO2 reduction. Carbon-structured support materials such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs), and graphene-based photocatalysts have garnered significant attention due to their substantial surface area, superior conductivity, and chemical stability. These carbon-based materials are frequently chosen as support matrices for anchoring single metal atoms, thereby enhancing catalytic activity and selectivity. The motivation behind this review article lies in evaluating recent developments in photocatalytic CO2 reduction employing SACs supported on carbon substrates. In conclusion, we highlight critical issues associated with SACs, potential prospects in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and existing challenges. This review article is dedicated to providing a comprehensive and organized compilation of recent research findings on carbon support materials for SACs in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, with a specific focus on materials that are environmentally friendly, readily accessible, cost-effective, and exceptionally efficient. This work offers a critical assessment and serves as a systematic reference for the development of SACs supported on MOFs, COFs, g-C3N4, graphene, and CTFs support materials to enhance photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Abstract
This topical review focuses on the distinct role of carbon support coordination environment of single-atom catalysts (SACs) for electrocatalysis. The article begins with an overview of atomic coordination configurations in SACs, including a discussion of the advanced characterization techniques and simulation used for understanding the active sites. A summary of key electrocatalysis applications is then provided. These processes are oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR). The review then shifts to modulation of the metal atom-carbon coordination environments, focusing on nitrogen and other non-metal coordination through modulation at the first coordination shell and modulation in the second and higher coordination shells. Representative case studies are provided, starting with the classic four-nitrogen-coordinated single metal atom (MN4 ) based SACs. Bimetallic coordination models including homo-paired and hetero-paired active sites are also discussed, being categorized as emerging approaches. The theme of the discussions is the correlation between synthesis methods for selective doping, the carbon structure-electron configuration changes associated with the doping, the analytical techniques used to ascertain these changes, and the resultant electrocatalysis performance. Critical unanswered questions as well as promising underexplored research directions are identified.

Abstract
The chemical microenvironment modulation of active sites holds promise for facilitating their catalytic performance. Herein, single-atom Ru anchored by ZrSBA-15 modified with diverse organic amine groups has been fabricated and enabled CO2 hydrogenation to produce formic acid (FA) under mild conditions. However, the reaction cannot be achieved without the modification of organic amines. The functional groups as the microenvironment around Ru active sites effectively regulated the activity, in which Ru encapsulated in ZrSBA-15 bearing -NH2 groups exhibited the highest activity, with turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) values of 505 and 64 h-1, respectively. Both characterization and experimental results validated that the functional group manipulated the adsorption capacity of the reactant, the electronic state of Ru and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of the materials, and thus the catalytic performance.

Abstract
The utilization of a single-atom catalyst to break C-C bonds merges the merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and presents an intriguing pathway for obtaining high-value-added products. Herein, a mild, selective, and sustainable oxidative cleavage of alkene to form oxime ether or nitrile was achieved by using atomically dispersed cobalt catalyst and hydroxylamine. Diversified substrate patterns, including symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkenes, di- and tri-substituted alkenes, and late-stage functionalization of complex alkenes were demonstrated. The reaction was successfully scaled up and demonstrated good performance in recycling experiments. The hot filtration test, catalyst poisoning and radical scavenger experiment, time kinetics, and studies on the reaction intermediate collectively pointed to a radical mechanism with cobalt/acid/O2 promoted C-C bond cleavage as the key step.

Abstract
In recent times, heterogenization of homogeneous molecular catalysts onto various porous solid support structures has attracted significant research focus as a method for combining the advantages of both homogeneous as well as heterogeneous catalysis. The design of highly efficient, structurally robust and reusable heterogenized single-site catalysts for the CO2 hydrogenation reaction is a critical challenge that needs to be accomplished to implement a sustainable and practical CO2 -looped renewable energy cycle. This study demonstrated a heterogenized catalyst [Ir-HCP-(B/TPM)] containing a molecular Ir-abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene (Ir-aNHC) catalyst self-supported by hierarchical porous hyper-crosslinked polymer (HCP), in catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to inorganic formate (HCO2 - ) salt that is a prospective candidate for direct formate fuel cells (DFFC). By employing this unique and first approach of utilizing a directly knitted HCP-based organometallic single-site catalyst for CO2 -to-HCO2 - in aqueous medium, extremely high activity with a single-run turnover number (TON) up to 50816 was achieved which is the highest so far considering all the heterogeneous catalysts for this reaction in water. Additionally, the catalyst featured excellent reusability furnishing a cumulative TON of 285400 in 10 cycles with just 1.6 % loss in activity per cycle. Overall, the new catalyst displayed attributes that are important for developing tangible catalysts for practical applications.

Abstract
Synthesis of formate from hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is an atom-economic reaction but is confronted with challenges in developing high-performance non-precious metal catalysts for application of the process. Herein, we report a highly durable edge-rich molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation to formate at 200 °C, which delivers a high selectivity of over 99 % with a superior turnover frequency of 780.7 h-1 surpassing those of previously reported non-precious metal catalysts. Multiple experimental characterization techniques combined with theoretical calculations reveal that sulfur vacancies at MoS2 edges are the active sites and the selective production of formate is enabled via a completely new water-mediated hydrogenation mechanism, in which surface OH* and H* species in dynamic equilibrium with water serve as moderate hydrogenating agents for CO2 with residual O* reduced by hydrogen. This study provides a new route for developing low-cost high-performance catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to formate.

Abstract
Nanozymes, which combine enzyme-like catalytic activity and the biological properties of nanomaterials, have been widely used in biomedical fields. Single-atom nanozymes (SANs) with atomically dispersed metal centers exhibit excellent biological catalytic activity due to the maximization of atomic utilization efficiency, unique metal coordination structures, and metal-support interaction, and their structure-activity relationship can also be clearly investigated. Therefore, they have become an emerging alternative to natural enzymes. This review summarizes the examples of nanocatalytic therapy based on SANs in tumor diagnosis and treatment in recent years, providing an overview of material classification, activity modulation, and therapeutic means. Next, we will delve into the therapeutic mechanism of SNAs in the tumor microenvironment and the advantages of synergistic multiple therapeutic modalities (e.g., chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, sonothermal therapy, and gas therapy). Finally, this review proposes the main challenges and prospects for the future development of SANs in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce formic acid (HCOOH) in base-free condition can avoid waste producing and simplify product separation process. However, it remains a big challenge because of the unfavorable energy in both thermodynamics and dynamics. Herein, we report the selective and efficient hydrogenation of CO2 to HCOOH under neutral conditions with imidazolium chloride ionic liquid as the solvent, catalyzed by a heterogeneous Ir/PPh3 compound. The heterogeneous catalyst is more effective than the homogeneous one because it is inert in catalyzing the decomposition of product. A turnover number (TON) of 12700 can be achieved, and HCOOH with a purity of 99.5% can be isolated by distillation because of the non-volatility of the solvent. Both the catalyst and imidazolium chloride can be recycled at least 5 times with stable reactivity.

Abstract
Ruthenium nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on imidazolium-based supported ionic liquid phases (Ru@SILP) act as effective heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) to formate in a mixture of water and triethylamine (NEt3 ). The structure of the imidazolium-based molecular modifiers is varied systematically regarding side chain functionality (neutral, basic, and acidic) and anion to assess the influence of the IL-type environment on the NPs synthesis and catalytic properties. The resulting Ru@SILP materials contain well-dispersed Ru NPs with diameters in the range 0.8-2.9 nm that are found 2 to 10 times more active for CO2 hydrogenation than a reference Ru@SiO2 catalyst under identical conditions. Introduction of sulfonic acid groups in the IL modifiers results in a greatly increased turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) at reduced metal loadings. As a result, excellent productivity with TONs up to 16 100 at an initial TOF of 1430 h-1 can be achieved with the Ru@SILP(SO3 H-OAc) catalyst. H/D exchange and other control experiments suggest an accelerated desorption of the formate species from the Ru NPs promoted by the presence of ammonium sulfonate species on Ru@SILP(SO3 H-X) materials, resulting in enhanced catalyst activity and productivity.

Abstract
Nanocatalysts are promising tumor therapeutics due to their ability to induce reactive oxygen species in the tumor microenvironment. Although increasing metal loading can improve catalytic activity, the quandary of high metal content versus potential systemic biotoxicity remains challenging. Here, a fully exposed active site strategy by site-specific anchoring of single iridium (Ir) atoms on the outer surface of a nitrogen-doped carbon composite (Ir single-atom catalyst (SAC)) is reported to achieve remarkable catalytic performance at ultralow metal content (≈0.11%). The Ir SAC exhibits prominent dual enzymatic activities to mimic peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase, which catalyzes the conversion of endogenous H2 O2 into •OH in the acidic TME and depletes glutathione (GSH) simultaneously. With an advanced support of GSH-trapping platinum(IV) and encapsulation with a red-blood-cell membrane, this nanocatalytic agent (Pt@IrSAC/RBC) causes intense lipid peroxidation that boosts tumor cell ferroptosis. The Pt@IrSAC/RBC demonstrates superior therapeutic efficacy in a mouse triple-negative mammary carcinoma model, resulting in complete tumor ablation in a single treatment session with negligible side effects. These outcomes may provide valuable insights into the design of nanocatalysts with high performance and biosafety for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Single atoms are superior electrocatalysts having high atomic utilization and amazing activity for water oxidation and splitting. Herein, this work reports a thermal reduction method to introduce high-valence iridium (Ir) single atoms into bimetal phosphide (FeNiP) nanoparticles toward high-efficiency oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and overall water splitting. The presence of high-valence single Ir atoms (Ir4+ ) and their synergistic interaction with Ni3+ species as well as the disproportionation of Ni3+ assisted by Fe collectively contribute to the exceptional OER performance. In specific, at appropriate Ir/Ni and Fe/Ni ratios, the as-prepared Ir-doped FeNiP (Ir25 -Fe16 Ni100 P64 ) nanoparticles at a mass loading of only 35 µg cm-2 show the overpotential as low as 232 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and activity as high as 1.86 A mg-1 at 1.5 V versus RHE for OER in 1.0 m KOH. Computational simulations confirm the vital role of high-valence Ir to weaken the adsorption of OER intermediates, favorable for accelerating OER kinetics. Impressively, a Pt/C||Ir25 -Fe16 Ni100 P64 two-electrode alkaline electrolyzer affords a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a low cell voltage of 1.42 V, along with satisfied stability. An AA battery with a nominal voltage of 1.5 V can drive overall water splitting with obvious bubbles released.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions in fine chemical industry, and the activation of H2 is the key step for hydrogenation. Catalysts play a critical role in selective hydrogenation, and some single-atom catalysts (SACs) are highly capable of activating H2 in selective hydrogenation by virtue of the maximized atom utilization and the highly uniform active sites. Therefore, more research efforts are needed for the rational design of SACs with superior H2 -activating capabilities. Herein, the research progress on H2 activation in typical hydrogenation systems (such as alkyne hydrogenation, hydroformylation, hydrodechlorination, hydrodeoxygenation, nitroaromatics hydrogenation, and polycyclic aromatics hydrogenation) is reviewed, the mechanisms of SACs for H2 activation are summarized, and the structural regulation strategies for SACs are proposed to promote H2 activation and provide schemes for the design of high-selectivity hydrogenation catalysts from the atomic scale. At the end of this review, an outlook on the opportunities and challenges for SACs to be developed for selective hydrogenation is presented.

Abstract
Development of efficient catalysts with high atomic utilization and turnover frequency (TOF) for H2 activation in slurry phase hydrocracking (SPHC) is crucial for the conversion of vacuum residue (VR). Herein, for the first time, we reported a robust and stable single atoms (SAs) Mo catalyst through a polymerization-pyrolysis-in situ sulfurization strategy for activating H2 in SPHC of VR. An interesting atomic coordination structural dynamic evolution of Mo active sites was discovered. During hydrocracking of VR, the O atoms that coordinated with Mo were gradually replaced by S atoms, which led to the O/S exchange process. The coordination structure of the Mo SAs changed from pre-reaction Mo-O3S1 to post-reaction Mo-O1S3 coordination configurations, promoting the efficient homolytic cleavage activation of H2 into H radical species effectively. The evolved Mo SAs catalyst exhibited robust catalytic hydrogenation activity with the per pass conversion of VR of 65 wt%, product yield of liquid oils of 93 wt%, coke content of only 0.63 wt%, TOF calculated for total metals up to 0.35 s-1, and good cyclic stability. Theoretical calculation reveals that the significant variation of occupied Mo 4d states before and after H2 interaction has a direct bearing on the dynamic evolution of Mo SAs catalyst structure. The lower d-band center of Mo-O1S3 site indicates that atomic H diffusion is easy, which is conducive to catalytic hydrogenation. The finding of this study is of great significance to the development of high atom economy catalysts for the industrial application of heavy oil upgrading technology.

Abstract
The CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) into chemical products is a promising and efficient way to combat the global warming issue and greenhouse effect. The viability of the CO2RR critically rests with finding highly active and selective catalysts that can accomplish the desired chemical transformation. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are ideal in fulfilling this goal due to the well-defined active sites and support-tunable electronic structure, and exhibit enhanced activity and high selectivity for the CO2RR. In this review, we present the recent progress of quantum-theoretical studies on electro- and photo-chemical conversion of CO2 with SACs and frameworks. Various calculated products of CO2RR with SACs have been discussed, including CO, acids, alcohols, hydrocarbons and other organics. Meanwhile, the critical challenges and the pathway towards improving the efficiency of the CO2RR have also been discussed.

Abstract
Alkene functionalization with a single-atom catalyst (SAC) which merges homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis is a fascinating route to obtain high-value-added molecules. However, C-N bond formation of alkene with SAC is still unexplored. Herein, a bimetal-organic framework-derived Co-N/C catalyst with an atomically dispersed cobalt center is reported to show good activity of chemoselective aziridination/oxyamination reactions from alkene and hydroxylamine, and late-stage functionalization of complex alkenes and diversified synthetic transformations of the aziridine product further expand the utility of this method. Moreover, this system proceeds without external oxidants and exhibits mild, atom-economic, and recyclable characters. Detailed spectroscopic characterizations and mechanistic studies revealed the structure of the catalytic center and possible intermediates involved in the mechanism cycle.

Abstract
Heterogeneous single-site and single-atom catalysts potentially enable combining the high catalytic activity and selectivity of molecular catalysts with the easy continuous operation and recycling of solid catalysts. In recent years, covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) found increasing attention as support materials for particulate and isolated metal species. Bearing a high fraction of nitrogen sites, they allow coordinating molecular metal species and stabilizing particulate metal species, respectively. Dependent on synthesis method and pretreatment of CTFs, materials resembling well-defined highly crosslinked polymers or materials comparable to structurally ill-defined nitrogen-containing carbons result. Accordingly, CTFs serve as model systems elucidating the interaction of single-site, single-atom and particulate metal species with such supports. Factors influencing the transition between molecular and particulate systems are discussed to allow deriving tailored catalyst systems.

Abstract
Stabilizing metal nanoparticles is vital for large scale implementations of supported metal catalysts, particularly for a sustainable transition to clean energy, e.g., H2 production. In this work, iridium sub-nanometric particles were deposited on commercial graphite and on graphitic carbon nitride by a wet impregnation method to investigate the metal-support interaction during the hydrous hydrazine decomposition reaction. To establish a structure-activity relationship, samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The catalytic performance of the synthesized materials was evaluated under mild reaction conditions, i.e. 323 K and ambient pressure. The results showed that graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) enhances the stability of Ir nanoparticles compared to graphite, while maintaining remarkable activity and selectivity. Simulation techniques including Genetic Algorithm geometry screening and electronic structure analyses were employed to provide a valuable atomic level understanding of the metal-support interactions. N anchoring sites of GCN were found to minimise the thermodynamic driving force of coalescence, thus improving the catalyst stability, as well as to lead charge redistributions in the cluster improving the resistance to poisoning by decomposition intermediates.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) have long been considered as prime candidates for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, separation, and conversion. Especially their permanent porosity, structural tunability, stability and relatively low cost are key factors in such considerations. Whereas heteratom-rich microporous networks as well as their amine impregnation/functionalization have been actively exploited to boost the CO2 affinity of POPs, recently, the focus has shifted to engineering the pore environment, resulting in a new generation of highly microporous POPs rich in heteroatoms and featuring abundant catalytic sites for the capture and conversion of CO2 into value-added products. In this review, we aim to provide key insights into structure-property relationships governing the separation, capture and conversion of CO2 using POPs and highlight recent advances in the field.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been conducted to investigate the mechanism of cobalt(II) tetraamino phthalocyanine (CoPc-NH2) catalyzed electro-reduction of CO2. Computational results show that the catalytically active species 1 (4[CoII(H4L)]0) is formed by a four-electron-four-proton reduction of the initial catalyst CoPc-NH2. Complex 1 can attack CO2 after a one-electron reduction to give a [CoIII-CO22-]- intermediate, followed by a protonation and a one-electron reduction to give intermediate [CoII-COOH]- (4). Complex 4 is then protonated on its hydroxyl group by a carbonic acid to generate the critical species 6 (CoIII-L•--CO), which can release the carbon monoxide as an intermediate (and also as a product). In parallel, complex 6 can go through a successive four-electron-four-proton reduction to produce the targeted product methanol without forming formaldehyde as an intermediate product. The high-lying π orbital and the low-lying π* orbital of the phthalocyanine endow the redox noninnocent nature of the ligand, which could be a dianion, a radical monoanion, or a radical trianion during the catalysis. The calculated results for the hydrogen evolution reaction indicate a higher energy barrier than the carbon dioxide reduction. This is consistent with the product distribution in the experiments. Additionally, the amino group on the phthalocyanine ligand was found to have a minor effect on the barriers of critical steps, and this accounts for the experimentally observed similar activity for these two catalysts, namely, CoPc-NH2 and CoPc.

Abstract
"Liquid sunshine" is the conceptual green liquid fuel that is produced by a combination of solar energy, CO2, and H2O. Alcohols are commonly regarded as the preferred candidates for liquid sunshine because of their advantages of high energy density and extensive industrial applications. However, both the alcohol synthesis and H2 release processes require harsh reaction conditions, resulting in large external energy input. Unlike alcohols, the synthesis and dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA)/formate can be performed under mild conditions. Herein, we propose liquid sunshine FA/formate as a promising supplement to alcohol. First, we outline the vision of using FA/formate as liquid sunshine and discuss its feasibility. Then, we concentrate on the application of FA/formate as liquid organic hydrogen carrier and summarize the recent developments of CO2 hydrogenation to FA/formate and FA/formate dehydrogenation under mild conditions. Finally, we discuss the current applications, challenges, and opportunities surrounding the use of FA/formate as liquid sunshine.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of CO2 into valuable chemical fuels reduces the atmospheric CO2 content and also has broad economic prospects. Support is essential for catalysts, but many of the reported support materials cannot meet the requirements of accessibility and durability. Herein, we theoretically designed a series of single-atom noble metals anchored on a SiO2 surface for CO2 hydrogenation using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Through theoretical evaluation of the formation energy, hydrogen dissociation capacity, and activity of CO2 hydrogenation, we found that Ru@SiO2 is a promising candidate for CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid. The energy barrier of the rate-determining step of the entire conversion process is 23.9 kcal mol-1; thus, the reaction can occur under mild conditions. In addition, active and stable origins were revealed through electronic structure analysis. The charge of the metal atom is a good descriptor of the catalytic activity. The Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) between metal charge and its CO2 hydrogenation barrier is 0.99. Two solvent models were also used to investigate hydrogen spillover processes and the reaction path was searched by the climbing image nudged-elastic-band (CI-NEB) method. The results indicated that the explicit solvent model could not be simplified into a few solvent molecules, leading to a large difference in the reaction paths. This work will serve as a reference for the future design of more efficient catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
Regulating Lewis acid-base sites in catalysts to investigate their influence in the chemical fixation of CO2 is significant but challenging. A metal-organic framework (MOF) with open metal Co sites, {(NH2 Me2 )[Co3 (μ3 -OH)(BTB)2 (H2 O)]⋅9 H2 O⋅5 DMF}n (1), was obtained and the results of the catalytic investigation show that 1 can catalyze cycloaddition of CO2 and aziridines to give 99 % yield. The efficiency of the cyclization of CO2 with propargyl amines is only 32 %. To improve the catalytic ability of 1, ligand XN with Lewis base sites was introduced into 1 and coordinated with the open Co sites, resulting in a decrease of the Lewis acid sites and an increase in the Lewis base sites in a related MOF 2 ({(NH2 Me2 )[Co3 (μ3 -OH)(NHMe2 )(BTB)2 (XN)]⋅8 H2 O⋅4 DMF}n ). Selective regulation of the type of active centers causes the yield of oxazolidinones to be enhanced by about 2.4 times, suggesting that this strategy can turn on/off the catalytic activity for different reactions. The catalytic results from 2 treated with acid solution support this conclusion. This work illuminates a MOF-construction strategy that produces efficient catalysts for CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Metal single atom catalysts (SAC) have been successfully used in heterogeneous catalysis but developing a scalable and economic support for SAC is still a great challenge. Here, cyclized polyacrylonitrile (CPAN) is proposed as a promising support for single atom metal catalysts. CPAN can be easily prepared from cheap industrial product polyacrylonitrile (PAN), which has excellent processability. A series of SAC on CPAN (M/CPAN, M = Ag, Cu, Ru) are designed and the catalytic activities of the as synthesized M/CPAN are investigated by the model reduction reaction of p-nitrophenol (4-NP). M/CPAN presents excellent catalytic performance with high stability and theoretical calculations elucidate that Ag/CPAN synergistically catalyze 4-NP reduction following the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism with 4-NP preferentially adsorbing at the Ag sites and H adsorbing at the bridge C sites. These results, for the first time, reveal that the single atom on CPAN can catalyze 4-NP reduction efficiently. This methodology provides a convenient route for the preparation of a variety of SAC, and this strategy is readily scalable and holds great potential in catalytic applications.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted tremendous research interests in various energy-related fields because of their high activity, selectivity and 100% atom utilization. However, it is still a challenge to enhance the intrinsic and specific activity of SACs. Herein, we present an approach to fabricate a high surface distribution density of iridium (Ir) SAC on nickel-iron sulfide nanosheet arrays substrate (Ir1/NFS), which delivers a high water oxidation activity. The Ir1/NFS catalyst offers a low overpotential of ~170 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a high turnover frequency of 9.85 s-1 at an overpotential of 300 mV in 1.0 M KOH solution. At the same time, the Ir1/NFS catalyst exhibits a high stability performance, reaching a lifespan up to 350 hours at a current density of 100 mA cm-2. First-principles calculations reveal that the electronic structures of Ir atoms are significantly regulated by the sulfide substrate, endowing an energetically favorable reaction pathway. This work represents a promising strategy to fabricate high surface distribution density single-atom catalysts with high activity and durability for electrochemical water splitting.

Abstract
Direct seawater electrolysis (DSE) coupled with renewable energy can maximize the sustainability of hydrogen energy acquisition by effectively alleviating the dependence on pure water resources. In a practical sense, the parallel chlorine evolution reaction (CER) of DSE opens up an opportunity to hit ″two birds with one stone″ by the dual values of anode and cathode. However, the biggest challenge is how to control the selectivity of CER to balance its values and drawbacks. Here, we use the different nucleation rates of iridium and barium ions in a weak basic solution and subsequent acid etching to devise an IrOx nanocluster (IrOx-Cs) supported BaCO3. The catalyst-support interaction between IrOx-Cs and BaCO3 enables repelling the Cl- near the electrode interface layer to achieve a controlled CER selectivity. Additionally, the mass activity of the prepared IrOx-Cs@BaCO3 is as high as 1402 A g-1Ir, which is 7.12 times higher than that of IrO2 oxides in unbuffered seawater. The photovoltaic-electrolysis device paired by IrOx-Cs@BaCO3 with controlled CER activity and Pt demonstrated that valuable active chlorine and H2 can be simultaneously obtained, with the flexibility to bind to different ion exchange membranes.

Abstract
By synergizing the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, single-site heterogeneous catalysis represents a highly promising opportunity for many catalytic processes. Particularly, the unprecedented designability and versatility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) promote them as salient platforms for designing single-site catalytic materials by introducing isolated, well-defined active sites into the frameworks. Herein, we design new MOF-supported single-site catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol (CH3OH), a reaction of great significance in CO2 valorization. Specifically, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), a class of excellent modifiers and anchors, is used to anchor coinage metal hydrides M(I)-H (M = Cu, Ag, and Au) onto the organic linker of UiO-68. The strong metal-ligand interactions between NHC and M(I)-H verify the robustness and feasibility of our design strategy. On the tailor-made catalysts, a three-stage sequential transformation is proposed for CH3OH synthesis with HCOOH and HCHO as the transit intermediates. A density functional theory-based comparative study suggests that UiO-68 decorated with NHC-Cu(I)-H performs best for CO2 hydrogenation to HCOOH. This is further rationalized by three linear relationships for the Gibbs energy barrier of CO2 hydrogenation to HCOO intermediate, the first with the NBO charge of the hydride in NHC-M(I)-H, the second with the electronegativity of M, and the third with the gap between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of CO2 and the highest occupied molecular orbital of the catalyst. It is confirmed that the high efficiency of MOF-supported NHC-Cu(I)-H for CO2 transformation to CH3OH is via the proposed three-stage mechanism, and in each stage, the step involving heterolytic dissociation of H2 together with product generation is the most energy-intensive. The rate-limiting step in the entire mechanism is identified to be H2 dissociation accompanying with simultaneous HCHO and H2O formation. Altogether, the tailor-made UiO-68 decorated with NHC-Cu(I)-H features well-defined active sites, enables precise manipulation of reaction paths, and demonstrates excellent reactivity for CO2 hydrogenation to CH3OH. It is also predicted to surpass a recently reported MOF-808 catalyst consisting of neighboring Zn2+-O-Zr4+ sites. The designed MOFs as well as the proposed strategy here establish a new paradigm and can be extended to other hydrogenation reactions.
