Abstract
The utilization of Cu-based catalysts in CO2 conversion into valuable chemicals is of significant interest due to their potential in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. However, the controllable design of Cu-based catalysts and the regulation of their mechanism remain challenging. In this study, a series of efficient Cu/L catalysts were prepared for this process, and the intrinsic influencing factors on the reaction routes were systematically revealed. Various techniques revealed that Cu particles in L-supported catalysts exhibited higher dispersion and formed Cu-O(OH)-K interfacial sites. However, with increasing Cu loading, the dispersion of Cu particles and the percentage of Cu-O(OH)-K interfaces decreased. Kinetic investigations revealed that the adsorption configuration and electronic structure of Cu species codetermined the reaction pathways and resulting selectivity. Cu/L catalysts possessing Cu-O(OH)-K interfaces and small particles demonstrated the preferential formation of formate species, promoting methanol formation. However, larger Cu particles generated carboxylate intermediates, resulting in higher CO selectivity..

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB), a liquid hydrogen storage material, has attracted increasing attention for hydrogen utilization because of its high hydrogen content. However, the slow kinetics of AB hydrolysis and the indefinite catalytic mechanism remain significant problems for its large-scale practical application. Thus, the development of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts and the determination of their catalytic mechanisms are significant and urgent. A summary of the preparation process and structural characteristics of various supported catalysts is presented in this paper, including graphite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal oxides, carbon nitride (CN), molybdenum carbide (MoC), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), boron nitride (h-BN), zeolites, carbon dots (CDs), and metal carbide and nitride (MXene). In addition, the relationship between the electronic structure and catalytic performance is discussed to ascertain the actual active sites in the catalytic process. The mechanism of AB hydrolysis catalysis is systematically discussed, and possible catalytic paths are summarized to provide theoretical considerations for the designing of efficient AB hydrolysis catalysts. Furthermore, three methods for stimulating AB from dehydrogenation by-products and the design of possible hydrogen product-regeneration systems are summarized. Finally, the remaining challenges and future research directions for the effective development of AB catalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis is the workhorse of the chemical industry, and a heterogeneous catalyst possesses numerous active sites working together to drive the conversion of reactants to desirable products. Over the decades, much focus has been placed on identifying the factors affecting the active sites to gain deep insights into the structure-performance relationship, which in turn guides the design and preparation of more active, selective, and stable catalysts. However, the molecular-level interplay between active sites and catalytic function still remains qualitative or semiquantitative, ascribed to the difficulty and uncertainty in elucidating the nature of active sites for its controllable manipulation. Hence, bridging the microscopic properties of active sites and the macroscopic catalytic performance, that is, microscopic-to-macroscopic transition, to afford a quantitative description is intriguing yet challenging, and progress toward this promises to revolutionize catalyst design and preparation.In this Account, we propose mesokinetics modeling, for the first time enabling a quantitative description of active site characteristics and the related mechanistic information, as a versatile tool to guide rational catalyst design. Exemplified by a pseudo-zero-order reaction, the kinetics derivation from the Pt particle size-sensitive catalytic activity and size-insensitive activation energy suggests only one type of surface site as the dominant active site, in which the Pt(111) with almost unchanged turnover frequency (TOF111) is further identified as the dominating active site. Such a method has been extended to identify and quantify the number (Ni) of active sites for various thermo-, electro-, and photocatalysts in chemical synthesis, hydrogen generation, environment application, etc. Then, the kinetics derivation from the kinetic compensation effects suggests a thermodynamic balance between the activation entropy and enthalpy, which exhibit linear dependences on Pt charge. Accordingly, the Pt charge can serve as a catalytic descriptor for its quantitative determination of TOFi. This strategy has been further applied to Pt-catalyzed CO oxidation with nonzero-order reaction characteristic by taking the site coverages of surface species into consideration.Hence, substituting the above statistical correlations of Ni and TOFi into the rate equation R = ∑Ni × TOFi offers the mesokinetics model, which can precisely predict catalytic function and screen catalysts. Finally, based on the disentanglement of the factors underlying Pt electronic structures, a de novo strategy, from the interfacial charge distribution to reaction mechanism, kinetics, and thermodynamics parameters of the rate-determining step, and ultimately catalytic performance, is developed to map the unified mechanistic and kinetics picture of reaction. Overall, the mesokinetics not only demonstrates much potential to elucidate the quantitative interplay between active sites and catalytic activity but also provides a new research direction in kinetics analysis to rationalize catalyst design.

Abstract
Pd catalysts are widely used in alkynol semi-hydrogenation. However, due to the existence of scaling relationships of adsorption energies between the key adsorbed species, the increase in conversion is frequently accompanied by side reactions, thereby reducing the selectivity to alkenols. We report that the simultaneous increase in alkenol selectivity and alkynol conversion is achieved by manipulating interstitial atoms including B, P, C, S and N in Pd catalysts. A negative linear relationship is observed between the activation entropies of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol which is highly related to the filling of d-orbital of Pd catalysts by the modification of p-block elements. A catalyst co-modified by B and C atoms has the maximum d charge of Pd that achieves a 17-fold increase in the turn-over frequency values compared to the Lindlar catalysts in the semi-hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol. When the conversion is close to 100%, the selectivity can be as high as 95%. Circumventing the linear scaling relationship in the semi-hydrogenation is challenging. Here the authors report a method for breaking the scaling relationships using ordered mesoporous carbon-supported Pd nanocatalysts with d-electron gain by p-block atoms occupying interstitial sites in the lattice as a greener alternative to Lindlar catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of alkynols.

Abstract
Ammonia borane (AB) has received growing research interest as one of the most promising hydrogen-storage carrier materials. However, fast dehydrogenation of AB is still limited by sluggish catalytic kinetics over current catalysts. Herein, highly uniform and ultrafine bimetallic RhNi alloy nanoclusters encapsulated within nitrogen-functionalized hollow mesoporous carbons (defined as RhNi@NHMCs) are developed as highly active, durable, and selective nanocatalysts for fast hydrolysis of AB under mild conditions. Remarkable activity with a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 1294 molH2 molRh-1 min-1 and low activation energy (Ea) of 18.6 kJ mol-1 is observed at room temperature, surpassing the previous Rh-based catalysts. The detailed mechanism studies reveal that when catalyzed by RhNi@NHMCs, a covalently stable O-H bond by H2O first cleaves in electropositive H* and further attacks B-H bond of AB to stoichiometrically produce 3 equiv of H2, whose catalytic kinetics is restricted by the oxidation cleavage of the O-H bond. Compositional and structural features of RhNi@NHMCs result in synergic electronic, functional, and support add-in advantages, kinetically accelerating the cleavage of the attacked H2O (O-H bond) and remarkably promoting the catalytic hydrolysis of AB accordingly. This present work represents a new and effective strategy for exploring high-performance supported metal-based alloy nanoclusters for (electro)catalysis.

Abstract
Exploring highly efficient nanocatalysts for hydrogen (H2) production from catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB) under ambient conditions and further unveiling their catalytic mechanism are of critical importance for renewable energy conversion technologies but remain big challenges. Herein, ultrafine binary RuP alloy nanoclusters homogeneously encapsulated onto nitrogen-functionalized hollow mesoporous carbon supports (RuP@NHMCs) are reported as a high-performance platinum (Pt)-free nanocatalyst for catalytic hydrolysis of AB at room temperature. Remarkable catalytic activity with a very high turnover frequency of 1774 molH2 molRu-1 min-1 and a low activation energy of 36.3 kJ mol-1 is observed based on compositional and structural synergies of RuP@NHMCs. Results of control experiments and catalytic kinetics studies reveal that the rate-determining step of catalytic hydrolysis of AB is the oxidation cleavage of a covalently stable H-OH bond, while RuP@NHMCs result in multiple electronic, functional, size, and support effects that kinetically accelerate the cleavage of attacked H-OH. Furthermore, RuP@NHMCs exhibit a good catalytic activity with a high yield of >99% for tandem hydrogenation of nitroarenes coupled with the hydrolysis of AB. We strongly believe that the catalyst design principle reported here could provide a new opportunity for synthesizing other Pt-free high-performance nanocatalysts.

Abstract
Supported gold nanoparticles are emerging catalysts for heterogeneous catalytic reactions, including selective hydrogenation. The traditionally used supports such as silica do not favor the heterolytic dissociation of hydrogen on the surface of gold, thus limiting its hydrogenation activity. Here we use gold catalyst particles partially embedded in the pore walls of mesoporous carbon with carbon atoms occupying interstitial sites in the gold lattice. This catalyst allows improved electron transfer from carbon to gold and, when used for the chemoselective hydrogenation of 3-nitrostyrene, gives a three times higher turn-over frequency (TOF) than that for the well-established Au/TiO2 system. The d electron gain of Au is linearly related to the activation entropy and TOF. The catalyst is stable, and can be recycled ten times with negligible loss of both reaction rate and overall conversion. This strategy paves the way for optimizing noble metal catalysts to give an enhanced hydrogenation catalytic performance.

Abstract
Morphology modulation and surface structure-controlled synthesis are two effective ways to tune the electrocatalytic activities of metal nanomaterials. Pt-based binary or ternary metal nanostructures have become a class of promising catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) for direct methanol fuel cells. Herein to reveal the morphology and surface structure effects of one-dimensional (1D) Pt-based nanostructures on their electrocatalytic properties, two types of 1D CuPt nanowires (CuPt NWs) and CuPt nanotubes (CuPt NTs) with tunable surface structures and compositions were fabricated using a convenient and easy strategy. It was found that among all the studied samples, CuPt2.22 NWs exhibited the highest efficiency catalytic performances for both the ORR and MOR in an acidic electrolyte. For the ORR, CuPt2.22 NWs exhibited an onset potential (Eonset) of 0.749 V and a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.577 V, which are more positive than those of the commercial Pt/C (0.668 V and 0.558 V). On the other hand, CuPt2.22 NWs show a specific activity of 20.76 mA cm-2 and a mass activity of 0.171 mA μgPt-1 for the MOR, which are 7.75 and 1.82 times, respectively, larger than those of Pt/C (2.679 mA cm-2 and 0.094 mA μgPt-1). Meanwhile, the reaction mechanism of the MOR on CuPt2.22 NWs was examined by in situ FTIR. From the enhanced IR absorption, the linear- and bridge-adsorbed CO intermediates can be determined during the methanol oxidation on CuPt2.22 NWs, from which the MOR proceeds through a dual reaction pathway. This work reveals that rationally tuning the electronic structures of 1D metal nanomaterials by well-controlling the composition and surface morphology on the nanoscale could greatly enhance the catalytic properties, which are very important for their application in fuel cells.

Abstract
Development of synergistic heterogeneous catalysts with active sites working cooperatively has been a pursuit of chemists. Herein, we report for the first time the fabrication and manipulation of Pt-WO3 dual-active-sites to boost hydrogen generation from ammonia borane. A combination of DFT calculations, structural characterization, and kinetic (isotopic) analysis reveals that Pt and WO3 act as the active sites for ammonia borane and H2O activation, respectively. A trade-off between the promoting effect of WO3 and the negative effect of decreased Pt binding energy contributes to a volcano-shaped activity, and Pt/CNT-5W delivers a 4-fold increased activity of 710.1 molH2·molPt-1·min-1. Moreover, WO3 is suggested to simultaneously act as the sacrificial site that can divert B-containing by-products away from Pt sites against deactivation, yielding an increase from 24% to 68% of the initial activity after five cycles. The strategy demonstrated here could shed a new light on the design and manipulation of dual-active-site catalysts.

Abstract
We report that heterostructured NiO/Ni nanoparticles remarkably promote the catalytic H2 production of platinum (Pt) nanoclusters toward the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB). A hybrid nanocatalyst composed ultrasmall Pt nanoclusters, heterostructured NiO/Ni nanoparticles, and a carbon nanotube support (defined as Pt@NiO/Ni-CNT) is fabricated. The resultant Pt@NiO/Ni-CNT is highly efficient for room-temperature H2 production toward catalytic hydrolysis of AB, better than the Pt@NiO-CNT and Pt@Ni-CNT with NiO or Ni alone, and the Pt@NiO/Ni without CNT support. Optimal Pt@NiO/Ni-CNT catalyst exhibits a good catalytic activity with a high TOF of 2665 molH2 molPt-1 min-1 under ambient conditions, overtaking the activities of previously reported catalysts for AB hydrolysis. Catalytic kinetic studies indicate that compositional and structural features of the Pt@NiO/Ni-CNT synergistically accelerate the oxidative clearage of the H-OH bond from attacked H2O (the rate-determining step), thus boosting catalytic hydrolysis of AB kinetically.

Abstract
Understanding the catalytic mechanism of bimetallic nanocatalysts remains challenging. Here, we adopt an adsorbate mediated thermal reduction approach to yield monodispersed AuPd catalysts with continuous change of the Pd-Au coordination numbers embedded in a mesoporous carbonaceous matrix. The structure of nanoalloys is well-defined, allowing for a direct determination of the structure-property relationship. The results show that the Pd single atom and dimer are the active sites for the base-free oxidation of primary alcohols. Remarkably, the d-orbital charge on the surface of Pd serves as a descriptor to the adsorbate states and hence the catalytic performance. The maximum d-charge gain occurred in a composition with 33-50 at% Pd corresponds to up to 9 times enhancement in the reaction rate compared to the neat Pd. The findings not only open an avenue towards the rational design of catalysts but also enable the identification of key steps involved in the catalytic reactions.
