Abstract
Dual-atoms catalysts (DACs), while inheriting the advantages of maximum atom utilization ratio and excellent selectivity of single-atom catalysts (SACs), can better enhance the catalytic activity through the synergy of adjacent atoms. Therefore, DACs are considered to be very potential catalysts for CO2 to CO conversion. Its catalytic activity is greatly influenced by the coordination environment and morphology. Here, hollow urchin-like NiNC catalysts (Ni-NC(HU)-x, x = 100, 50, 25, 0) were synthesized using urchin-like nickel particles as template. By adjusting the amount of additional nitrogen source, the percentage content of pyridinic-N was adjusted as well as further affecting the coordination environment. Among them, Ni-NC(HU)-50, which had the highest content of pyridinic-N, formed a dual-atoms coordination structure and had the best catalytic performance that the CO Faradaic efficiency (FECO) reached 97.2 % at -0.9 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and sustained above 95 % within 50 h. In-situ attenuated total reflectance surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that Ni-NC(HU)-50 exhibited the best performance of CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) by lowering the *COOH formation free energy barrier and its favorable dual desorption mechanism of *COL and *COB.

Abstract
Tremendous challenges remain to develop high-efficient catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) owing to the poor activity and low selectivity. However, the activity of catalyst with single active site is limited by the linear scaling relationship between the adsorption energy of intermediates. Motivated by the idea of multiple activity centers, triple metal clusters (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd, and Rh) doped PC6 monolayer (M3@PC6) were constructed in this study to investigate the CO2RR catalytic performance via density functional theory calculations. Results shows Mn3@PC6, Fe3@PC6, and Co3@PC6 exhibit high activity and selectivity for the reduction of CO2 to CH4 with limiting potentials of -0.32, -0.28, and -0.31 V, respectively. Analysis on the high-performance origin shows the more binding sites in M3@PC6 render the triple-atom anchored catalysts (TACs) high ability in regulating the binding strength with intermediates by self-adjusting the charges and conformation, leading to the improved performance of M3@PC6 than dual-atom doped PC6. This work manifests the huge application of PC6 based TACs in CO2RR, which hope to prove valuable guidance for the application of TACs in a broader range of electrochemical reactions.

Abstract
CONTEXT The abilities of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 as catalysts for N2-RR to create the NH3 are investigated by theoretical levels. The ∆Eadoption and ∆Eformation of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 are investigated. The ∆Eadsorption of N2-RR intermediates and ΔGreaction of reaction steps of N2-RR on Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 are examined. In acceptable mechanisms, the *NN → *NNH step is potential limiting step and *NN → *NNH step in enzymatic mechanism is endothermic reaction. The ∆Greaction of *NHNH2 → *NH2NH2 step on Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 are -0.904, -0.928, -0.860, -0.882, -0.817 and -0.838 eV, respectively. The Co-Al18P18 and Ni-Al21N21 have the highest ∆Greaction values for reaction steps of N2-RR. Finally, it can be concluded that the Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24 and Mn-B27P2 have acceptable potential for N2-RR by acceptable pathways. METHODS The structures of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 and N2-RR intermediates are optimized by PW91PW91/6-311+G (2d, 2p) and M06-2X/cc-pVQZ as theoretical levels in GAMESS software. The convergence for force set displacement of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 and N2-RR intermediates are 1.5 × 105 Hartree/Bohr and 6.0 × 10-5 Angstrom. The Opt = Tight and MaxStep = 30 are considered to optimize Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 and N2-RR intermediates. The frequencies of Co-Al18P18, Ni-Al21N21, Fe-B24N24, Mn-B27P27, Ti-C60 and Cu-Si72 and N2-RR intermediates are calculated.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic conversion of nitric oxide (NORR) to ammonia (NH3) represents a pivotal approach for sustainable energy transformation and efficient waste utilization. Designing highly effective catalysts to facilitate the conversion of NO into NH3 remains a formidable challenge. In this work, the density functional theory (DFT) is used to design NORR catalysts based on single and double transition metal (TM:Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) atoms supported by graphdiyne (TM@GDY). Among eight catalysts, the Cu2@GDY is selected as a the most stable NORR catalyst with high NH3 activity and selectivity. A pivotal discovery underscores that the NORR mechanism is thermodynamically constrained on single atom catalysts (SACs), while being governed by electrochemical processes on double atom catalysts (DACs), a distinction arising from the different d-band centers of these catalysts. Therefore, this work not only introduces an efficient NORR catalyst but also provides crucial insights into the fundamental parameters influencing NORR performance.

Abstract
Inspired by MXene nanosheets and their regulation of surface functional groups, a series of Ti3C2-MXene-based single TM atom electrocatalysts with a doped boron (B) atom (TM@Ti3C2O2-xBx, TM is V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co or Ni, x = 0.11) are proposed for achieving a high performance catalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). The results reveal that the doped B atom involves in the adsorption reaction of CO2 molecules and CO intermediates in the CO2RR. The TM-to-C and B-to-C π-back bonding contribute to the activation of the CO2 molecules and CO intermediates in the CO2RR. Enough electrons from the single TM atom and B atom occupied orbitals can be injected into the CO2 molecules and *CO intermediates through direct bonding interactions, which effectively alleviates the difficulty of the first hydrogenation reaction step and further helps CO reduction towards CH4. The calculated values of ΔG for the first hydrogenation reaction and the formation of *CHO on Ti3C2O2-xBx are significantly smaller than those of other single-atom catalysts (SACs). Fe@Ti3C2O2-xBx is found to have the highest electrocatalytic activity with a limiting potential of ∼0.40 V and exhibits a high selectivity for obtaining CH4 through the CO2RR compared with the hydrogen evolution reaction. This work is expected to open a research path for engineering the charge-orbital state of the innate atoms of a substrate based on mechanistic insights, which guides the rational design of highly selective MXene-based CO2RR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) is a promising and green approach for reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration and achieving high-valued conversion of CO2 under the carbon-neutral policy. In CO2 RR, the dual-site metal catalysts (DSMCs) have received wide attention for their ingenious design strategies, abundant active sites, and excellent catalytic performance attributed to the synergistic effect between dual-site in terms of activity, selectivity and stability, which plays a key role in catalytic reactions. This review provides a systematic summary and detailed classification of DSMCs for CO2 RR, describes the mechanism of synergistic effects in catalytic reactions, and also introduces in situ characterization techniques commonly used in CO2 RR. Finally, the main challenges and prospects of dual-site metal catalysts and even multi-site catalysts for CO2 recycling are analyzed. It is believed that based on the understanding of bimetallic site catalysts and synergistic effects in CO2 RR, well-designed high-performance, low-cost electrocatalysts are promising for achieving CO2 conversion, electrochemical energy conversion and storage in the future.
