Abstract
The inherent challenges in using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for photocatalytic CO2 reduction are the combination of wide-range light harvesting, efficient charge separation and transfer as well as highly exposed catalytic active sites for CO2 activation and reduction. We present here a promising solution to satisfy these requirements together by modulating the crystal facet and surface atomic structure of a porphyrin-based bismuth-MOF (Bi-PMOF). The series of structural and photo-electronic characterizations together with photocatalytic CO2 reduction experiment collectively establish that the enriched Bi active sites on the (010) surface prefer to promote efficient charge separation and transfer as well as the activation and reduction of CO2 . Specifically, the Bi-PMOFs-120-F with enriched surface Bi active sites exhibits optimal photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance to CO (28.61 μmol h-1 g-1 ) and CH4 (8.81 μmol h-1 g-1 ). This work provides new insights to synthesize highly efficient main group p-block metal Bi-MOF photocatalysts for CO2 reduction through a facet-regulation strategy and sheds light on the surface structure-activity relationships of the MOFs.

Abstract
Supercritical CO2 (SC CO2 ), as one of the unique fluids that possess fascinating properties of gas and liquid, holds great promise in chemical reactions and fabrication of materials. Building special nanostructures via SC CO2 for functional applications has been the focus of intense research for the past two decades, with facile regulated reaction conditions and a particular reaction field to operate compared to the more widely used solvent systems. In this review, the significance of SC CO2 on fabricating various functional materials including modification of 1D carbon nanotubes, 2D materials, and 2D heterostructures is stated. The fundamental aspects involving building special nanostructures via SC CO2 are explored: how their structure, morphology, and chemical composition be affected by the SC CO2 . Various optimization strategies are outlined to improve their performances, and recent advances are combined to present a coherent understanding of the mechanism of SC CO2 acting on these functional nanostructures. The wide applications of these special nanostructures in catalysis, biosensing, optoelectronics, microelectronics, and energy transformation are discussed. Moreover, the current status of SC CO2 research, the existing scientific issues, and application challenges, as well as the possible future directions to advance this fertile field are proposed in this review.

Abstract
Space confined reactions have emerged as a viable strategy for achieving important and fascinating properties in functional materials. Various scaffolds have been reported so far for confinement and it gives rise to the phenomenon of nanoconfinement, where the energetics and kinetics of catalytic reactions can be modulated upon confining the catalysts in a particular site. Although various systems have been reported so far for confinement, emphasis has been placed on the concept of space confinement, and the changes in the confined space itself are neglected. Strikingly, this critical issue would be touched on and revealed by supercritical CO2 (SC CO2) that is used in confined geometries. Herein, we define the structural changes of confined spaces induced by SC CO2 as an anti-nanoconfinement effect, which can bring about a series of variations together with electronic band and structural transformation. Moreover, progress in the design and applications of the anti-nanoconfinement effect is traced, and there is a discussion of emerging issues that have yet to be explored to achieve a future direction to develop more novel two-dimensional (2D) structures.

Abstract
It is of significant importance to suppress the polysulfide shuttle effect for the commercial application of lithium-sulfur batteries. Herein, continuous MIL-101(Cr) membranes were successfully fabricated on carbon nanotube films utilizing a simplein situgrowth method, aiming at constructing interlayer materials for inhibiting the shuttle effect. Owing to the suitable pore aperture and super electrolyte wettability, the as-developed MIL-101(Cr) membrane can effectively inhibit the shuttle behaviour of polysulfides while allowing the fast transport of Li-ions simultaneously, working as an ionic sieve. Additionally, this MOFs membrane is also helpful in accelerating the polysulfide catalytic conversion. Therefore, the proposed interlayer delivers an extraordinary rate capability, showing a remarkable capacity of 661.9 mAh g-1under 5 C. Meanwhile, it also exhibits a high initial capacity of 816.1 mAh g-1at 1 C and an exceptional durability with an extremely low capacity fading of 0.046% per cycle over 500 cycles.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) inherently consisting of metal entities and ligands are promising single-atom catalysts (SACs) for electrocatalytic chemical reactions. Three 2D Fe-MOFs with NH, O, and S ligands were designed using density functional theory calculations, and their feasibility as SACs for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was investigated. The NH, O, and S ligands can be used to control electronic structures and catalysis performance in 2D Fe-MOF monolayers by tuning charge redistribution. The results confirm the Sabatier principle, which states that an ideal catalyst should provide reasonable adsorption energies for all reaction species. The 2D Fe-MOF nanomaterials may render highly-efficient HER, OER, and ORR by tuning the ligands. Therefore, we believe that this study will serve as a guide for developing of 2D MOF-based SACs for water splitting, fuel cells, and metal-air batteries.
