Abstract
A hyphenated strategy for photoelectrochemical (PEC) disinfection is proposed with rationally designed black TiO2-x as a photoresponsive material. The PEC method, a fusion of electrochemistry and photocatalysis, is an innovative and effective way to improve photocatalytic performance, which imparts certain properties to the photoelectrode and greatly promotes the charge transfer, thus effectively inhibiting the recombination of carriers and greatly promoting the catalytic efficiency. The oxygen vacancy (Vo) engineering on TiO2 is conducted to obtain black TiO2-x, which shows a much larger light absorption region in the full solar spectrum than the pristine white TiO2 and presents excellent PEC sterilization performance. The bactericidal efficiency with the PEC method is 10 times higher than that with the photocatalytic method, inactivating 99% of bacteria within a short time of 30 min. In addition, the black titanium oxide nanowires (B-TiO2-x NWs) are grown on flexible carbon cloth (CC) to form a sandwich structural self-cleaning face mask. The bacteria adhering to the surface of the mask will be sterilized quickly and efficiently under the illumination of visible light. The face mask with the characteristics of superior antibacterial effect and long service lifetime will be used for epidemic prevention and reduce the second pollution.

Abstract
In this work, a photocatalytic process was carried out to recover gold (Au) from the simulated non-cyanide plating bath solution. Effects of semiconductor types (TiO2, WO3, Nb2O3, CeO2, and Bi2O3), initial pH of the solution (3-10), and type of complexing agents (Na2S2O3 and Na2SO3) and their concentrations (1-4 mM each) on Au recovery were explored. Among all employed semiconductors, TiO2 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity to recover Au from the simulated spent plating bath solution both in the absence and presence of complexing agents, in which Au was completely recovered within 15 min at a pH of 6.5. The presence of complexing agents remarkably affected the size of deposited Au on the TiO2 surface, the localized surface plasmon effect (LSPR) behavior, and the valence band (VB) edge position of the obtained Au/TiO2, without a significant change in the textural properties or the band gap energy. The photocatalytic activity of the obtained Au/TiO2 tested via two photocatalytic processes depended on the common reduction mechanism rather than the textural or optical properties. As a result, the Au/TiO2 NPs obtained from the proposed recovery process are recommended for use as a photocatalyst for the reactions occurring at the conduction band rather than at the valence band. Notably, they exhibited good stability after the fifth photocatalytic cycle for Au recovery from the actual cyanide plating bath solution.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) plays an important role in agriculture and industry. The industry-scale production mainly depends on the Haber-Bosch process suffering from issues of environment pollution and energy consumption. Electrochemical reduction can degrade nitrite (NO2-) pollutants in the environment and convert it into more valuable NH3. Here, Ni2P nanosheet array on nickel foam is proposed as a 3D electrocatalyst for high-efficiency electrohydrogenation of NO2- to NH3 under ambient reaction conditions. When tested in 0.1 M phosphate buffer saline with 200 ppm NO2-, such Ni2P/NF is able to obtain a large NH3 yield rate of 2692.2 ± 92.1 μg h-1 cm-2 (3282.9 ± 112.3 μg h-1 mgcat.-1), a high Faradic efficiency of 90.2 ± 3.0%, and selectivity of 87.0 ± 1.7% at -0.3 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode. After 10 h of electrocatalytic reduction, the conversion rate of NO2- achieves near 100%. The catalytic mechanism is further investigated by density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
The nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has become an ideal alternative to the Haber-Bosch process, as NRR possesses, among others, the advantage of operating under ambient conditions and saving energy consumption. The key to efficient NRR is to find a suitable electrocatalyst, which helps to break the strong N≡N bond and improves the reaction selectivity. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) as an emerging layered two-dimensional material has attracted a mass of attention in various fields. In this minireview, we summarize the optimization strategies of MoS2 -based catalysts which have been developed to improve the weak NRR activity of primitive MoS2 . Some theoretical predictions have also been summarized, which can provide direction for optimizing NRR activity of future MoS2 -based materials. Finally, an outlook about the optimization of MoS2 -based catalysts used in electrochemical N2 fixation are given.

Abstract
Ammonia is one of the most useful chemicals for the fertilizer industry and is also promising as an important energy carrier for fuel cell application, and is currently mostly produced by the traditional Haber-Bosch process under high temperature and pressure conditions. This energy-intensive process is detrimental to the environment due to the dependence on fossil fuels and the emission of significant greenhouse gases (such as CO2). Ammonia production via the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (ENRR) has been recognized as a green sustainable alternative to the Haber-Bosch process in recent years. Current ENRR research mainly focuses on the catalyst for ammonia selective production and the enhancement of faradaic efficiency at high current density; however, these have not been explored well due to the unavailability of highly efficient and cheap catalysts. Herein, this review provides information on the ENRR process along with (i) theoretical background, (ii) experimental methodology of the electrocatalytic process and (iii) computational screening of promising catalysts. The impact of active sites and defects on the activity, selectivity, and stability of the catalysts is deeply understood. Furthermore, we demonstrate the mechanistic understanding of the ENRR process on the surface of catalysts, with the aim of boosting the improvement of the ENRR activities. The ammonia detection methods are also summarized along with thorough discussion of control experiments. Finally, this review highlights prevailing problems in existing ENRR methods of ammonia production along with technical advancements proposed to address these issues and concludes with comments on opportunities and future directions of the ENRR process.
