Abstract
Currently, most catalysts used for photoconverting carbon dioxide (CO2) typically produce C1 products. Achieving multicarbon (C2+) products, which are highly desirable due to their greater energy density and economic potential, still remains a significant challenge. This difficulty is primarily due to the kinetic hurdles associated with the C-C coupling step in the process. Given this, devising diverse strategies to accelerate C-C coupling for generating multicarbon products is requisite. Herein, we first give a classification of catalysts involved in the photoconversion of CO2 to C2+ fuels. We summarize metallic oxides, metallic sulfides, MXenes, and metal-organic frameworks as catalysts for CO2 photoreduction to C2+ products, attributing their efficacy to the inherent dual active sites facilitating C-C coupling. In addition, we survey covalent organic frameworks, carbon nitrides, metal phosphides, and graphene as cocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction to C2+ products, owing to the incorporated dual active sites that induce C-C coupling. In the end, we provide a brief conclusion and an outlook on designing new photocatalysts, understanding the catalytic mechanisms, and considering the practical application requirements for photoconverting CO2 into multicarbon products.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have potential applications in a wide range of fields. However, it remains a critical challenge to constrain their covalent expansions in the one-dimensional (1D) direction. Here, we developed a general approach to fabricate 15 different highly crystalline COFs with zigzag-packed 1D porous organic chains through the condensation of V-shaped ditopic linkers and X-shaped tetratopic knots. Appropriate geometrical combinations of a wide scope of linkers and knots with distinct aromatic cores, linkages, and functionalities offer a series of quasi-1D COFs with dominant pore sizes of 7-13 Å and surface areas of 116-784 m2 g-1. Among them, nitrogen (N)-doped 1D COFs with site-specific doping of heteroatoms favor a tunable control of band structures and conjugations and thus allow a remarkable hydrogen evolution rate up to 80 mmol g-1 h-1 in photocatalytic water splitting. This general strategy toward programming function in porous crystalline materials has the potential to tune the topologically well-defined electronic properties through precisely periodic doping.

Abstract
Establishing artificial photosynthesis systems in a simple but effective manner to mitigate the greenhouse effect and address the energy crisis remains challenging. The combination of photocatalysis technology with bioengineering is an emerging field with great potential to construct such artificial photosynthesis systems, but so far, it has barely been explored in this area. Herein, an artificial photocatalysis platform is constructed with high CO2 conversion and H2O splitting capability by integration of CdS QDs into the intra-subunit interface of H-type ferritin (Marsupenaeus japonicus), a natural ferroxidase through protein interface redesign. The crystal structure of the synthesized CdS QDs with engineered ferritin molecules as bio-templates confirmed the design at an atomic level. Notably, upon absorbing desirable visible light (≈420 nm), such a single CdS-ferritin hybrid molecule is able to selectively catalyze the reduction of CO2 into HCOOH (≈90%), meanwhile catalyzing the oxidation of H2O into O2 in an aqueous environment. The O2 production rate reached to 180 µmol g-1 h-1, and the HCOOH output hit almost 800 µmol g-1 h-1. This work advances the utilization of the four-helix bundle structure for crafting artificial photosynthesis systems, facilitating the seamless integration of bioengineering and photocatalysis technology.

Abstract
A major impediment to the development of the efficient use of artificial photosynthesis is the lack of highly selective and efficient photocatalysts toward the conversion of CO2 by sunlight energy at room temperature and ambient pressure. After many years of hard work, we finally completed the synthesis of graphdiyne-based palladium quantum dot catalysts containing high-density metal atom steps for selective artificial photosynthesis. The well-designed interface structure of the catalyst is composed of electron-donor and acceptor groups, resulting in the obvious incomplete charge-transfer phenomenon between graphdiyne and plasmonic metal nanostructures on the interface. These intrinsic characteristics are the origin of the high performance of the catalyst. Studies on its mechanism reveal that the synergism between 'hot electron' from local surface plasmon resonance and rapid photogenerated carrier separation at the ohmic contact interface accelerates the multi-electron reaction kinetics. The catalyst can selectively synthesize CH4 directly from CO2 and H2O with selectivity of near 100% at room temperature and pressure, and exhibits transformative performance, with an average CH4 yield of 26.2 μmol g-1 h-1 and remarkable long-term stability.

Abstract
Solar-driven CO2 reduction and water oxidation to liquid fuels represents a promising solution to alleviate energy crisis and climate issue, but it remains a great challenge for generating CH3OH and CH3CH2OH dominated by multi-electron transfer. Single-cluster catalysts with super electron acceptance, accurate molecular structure, customizable electronic structure and multiple adsorption sites, have led to greater potential in catalyzing various challenging reactions. However, accurately controlling the number and arrangement of clusters on functional supports still faces great challenge. Herein, we develop a facile electrosynthesis method to uniformly disperse Wells-Dawson- and Keggin-type polyoxometalates on TiO2 nanotube arrays, resulting in a series of single-cluster functionalized catalysts P2M18O62@TiO2 and PM12O40@TiO2 (M=Mo or W). The single polyoxometalate cluster can be distinctly identified and serves as electronic sponge to accept electrons from excited TiO2 for enhancing surface-hole concentration and promote water oxidation. Among these samples, P2Mo18O62@TiO2-1 exhibits the highest electron consumption rate of 1260 μmol g-1 for CO2-to-CH3OH conversion with H2O as the electron source, which is 11 times higher than that of isolated TiO2 nanotube arrays. This work supplied a simple synthesis method to realize the single-dispersion of molecular cluster to enrich surface-reaching holes on TiO2, thereby facilitating water oxidation and CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The utilization of low-energy photons in light-driven reactions is an effective strategy for improving the efficiency of solar energy conversion. In nature, photosynthetic organisms use chlorophylls to harvest the red portion of sunlight, which ultimately drives the reduction of CO2. However, a molecular system that mimics such function is extremely rare in non-noble-metal catalysis. Here we report a series of synthetic fluorinated chlorins as biomimetic chromophores for CO2 reduction, which catalytically produces CO under both 630 nm and 730 nm light irradiation, with turnover numbers of 1790 and 510, respectively. Under appropriate conditions, the system lasts over 240 h and stays active under 1% concentration of CO2. Mechanistic studies reveal that chlorin and chlorinphlorin are two key intermediates in red-light-driven CO2 reduction, while corresponding porphyrin and bacteriochlorin are much less active forms of chromophores.

Abstract
The development of efficient, selective, and durable CO2 photoreduction systems presents a long-standing challenge in full aqueous solutions owing to the presence of scarce CO2 and the fierce competition against H2 evolution, which is even more challenging when noble metals are not utilized. Herein, we present the facile decorations of four phosphonic acid groups on a donor-acceptor-type organic dye to obtain a water-soluble photosensitizer (4P-DPAIPN), which succeeds the excellent photophysical and photoredox properties of its prototype, exhibiting long-lived delayed fluorescence (>10 μs) in aqueous solutions. Combining 4P-DPAIPN with a cationic cobalt porphyrin catalyst has accomplished record-high apparent quantum yields of 9.4-17.4% at 450 nm for CO2-to-CO photoconversion among the precedented systems (maximum 13%) in fully aqueous solutions. Remarkable selectivity of 82-93% and turnover number of 2700 for CO production can also be achieved with this noble-metal-free system, outperforming a benchmarking ruthenium photosensitizer and a commercial organic dye under parallel conditions. Such high performances of 4P-DPAIPN can be well maintained under real sunlight. More impressively, no significant decomposition of 4P-DPAIPN was detected during the long-term photocatalysis. Eventually, the photoinduced electron transfer pathways were proposed.

Abstract
The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 represents an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach for generating valuable chemicals. In this study, a thiophene-modified highly conjugated asymmetric covalent triazine framework (As-CTF-S) is developed for this purpose. Significantly, single-component intramolecular energy transfer can enhance the photogenerated charge separation, leading to the efficient conversion of CO2 to CO during photocatalysis. As a result, without the need for additional photosensitizers or organic sacrificial agents, As-CTF-S demonstrates the highest photocatalytic ability of 353.2 µmol g-1 and achieves a selectivity of ≈99.95% within a 4 h period under visible light irradiation. This study provides molecular insights into the rational control of charge transfer pathways for high-efficiency CO2 photoreduction using single-component organic semiconductor catalysts.

Abstract
The construction of secondary building units (SBUs) in versatile metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represents a promising method for developing multi-functional materials, especially for improving their sensitizing ability. Herein, we developed a dual small molecules auxiliary strategy to construct a high-nuclear transition-metal-based UiO-architecture Co16-MOF-BDC with visible-light-absorbing capacity. Remarkably, the N3 - molecule in hexadecameric cobalt azide SBU offers novel modification sites to precise bonding of strong visible-light-absorbing chromophores via click reaction. The resulting Bodipy@Co16-MOF-BDC exhibits extremely high performance for oxidative coupling benzylamine (~100 % yield) via both energy and electron transfer processes, which is much superior to that of Co16-MOF-BDC (31.5 %) and Carboxyl @Co16-MOF-BDC (37.5 %). Systematic investigations reveal that the advantages of Bodipy@Co16-MOF-BDC in dual light-absorbing channels, robust bonding between Bodipy/Co16 clusters and efficient electron-hole separation can greatly boost photosynthesis. This work provides an ideal molecular platform for synergy between photosensitizing MOFs and chromophores by constructing high-nuclear transition-metal-based SBUs with surface-modifiable small molecules.

Abstract
Sunlight-driven CO2 reduction to value-added chemicals is an effective strategy to promote carbon recycling. The exploration of catalysts with efficient charge separation is crucially important for highly efficient CO2 photoreduction. In this work, the preparation of metal-cluster-based covalent organic framework (CuABD) integrated features from both metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) through the condensation of diamines and functionalized trinuclear copper clusters demonstrate a thoughtful design strategy. The reported yield of 1.3 mmol g-1 h-1 for formic acid (HCOOH) under simulated solar irradiation is impressive, surpassing the performance of many COF- and MOF-based catalysts previously reported. Compared to its isomorphic metal-free structure (named BDFTD) and bare trinuclear Cu cluster which present extremely poor catalytic activities, CuABD displays remarkably enhanced CO2 reduction activity. Experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that the efficient charge transfer between diamine monomer and cyclic trinuclear copper (I) units, and the electron delocalization of the π-conjugated framework are responsible for the appealing catalytic performance. In summary, the work presents a well-structured and scientifically sound exploration of a metal-cluster-based covalent organic framework for efficient CO2 reduction under sunlight.

Abstract
Hierarchical self-assembly of 2D metal‒organic layers (MOLs) for the construction of advanced functional materials have witnessed considerable interest, due to the increasing atomic utilizations and well-defined atom‒property relationship. However, the construction of atomically precise MOLs with mono-/few-layered thickness through hierarchical self-assembly process remains a challenge, mostly because the elaborate long-range order is difficult to control via conventional noncovalent interaction. Herein, a quadruple π-sticked metal‒organic layer (πMOL) is reported with checkerboard-like lattice in ≈1.0 nanometre thickness, on which the catalytic selectivity can be manipulated for highly efficient CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) over a single metal site. In saturated CO2 aqueous acetonitrile, Fe-πMOL achieves a highly effective CO2RR with the yield of ≈3.98 mmol g‒1 h‒1 and 91.7% selectivity. In contrast, the isostructural Co-πMOL as well as mixed metallic FeCo-πMOL exhibits a high activity toward HER under similar conditions. DFT calculations reveal that single metal site exhibits the significant difference in CO2 adsorption energy and activation barrier, which triggers highly selective CO2RR for Fe site and HER for Co site, respectively. This work highlights the potential of supramolecular π…π interaction for constructing monolayer MOL materials to uniformly distribute the single metal sites for artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
The synthesis of visible light-responsive and efficient photocatalysts toward green Baeyer-Villiger oxidation organic synthesis is of extraordinary significance. In this work, we have synthesized two examples of visible light responsive crystalline polyoxometalate@metal-organic framework materials Ru-NiMo and Ru-CoMo by introducing Ru metalloligands and {CdM3O12} bimetallic units (M = Ni or Co). This is the first report of metalloligand-modified polyoxometalate@metal-organic framework materials with bimetallic nodes, and the materials form a three-dimensional framework directly through coordination bonds between {CdM3O12} bimetallic units and metalloligands. In particular, Ru-NiMo can achieve efficient photocatalytic conversion of cyclohexanone to ε-caprolactone in yields as high as 95.5% under visible light excitation in the range of λ > 400 nm, achieving a turnover number and turnover frequency of 955 and 440 h-1, respectively, which are the best known photocatalysts for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, while apparent quantum yield measured at 485 nm is 4.4%. Moreover, Ru-NiMo exhibited excellent structural stability and recyclability, producing a 90.8% yield after five cycles of recycling.

Abstract
Photochemical generation of alkyl radicals from haloalkanes often requires strong energy input from ultraviolet light or a strong photoreductant. Haloalkanes can alternatively be activated with nitrogen-based nucleophiles through a sequential SN2 reaction and single-electron reduction to access alkyl radicals, but these two reaction steps have opposite steric requirements on the nucleophiles. Herein, we report the design of Hf12 metal-organic layers (MOLs) with iridium-based photosensitizer bridging ligands and secondary-building-unit-supported pyridines for photocatalytic alkyl radical generation from haloalkanes. By bringing the photosensitizer and pyridine pairs in proximity, the MOL catalysts allowed facile access to the pyridinium salts from SN2 reactions between haloalkanes and pyridines and at the same time enhanced electron transfer from excited photosensitizers to pyridinium salts to facilitate alkyl radical generation. Consequentially, the MOLs efficiently catalyzed Heck-type cross-coupling reactions between haloalkanes and olefinic substrates to generate functionalized alkenes. The MOLs showed 4.6 times higher catalytic efficiency than the homogeneous counterparts and were recycled and reused without a loss of catalytic activity.

Abstract
ConspectusTo cope with the increasingly global greenhouse effect and energy shortage, it is urgent to develop a feasible means to convert anthropogenic excess carbon dioxide (CO2) into energy resources. The photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) coupled with the water oxidation reaction (WOR), known as artificial photosynthesis, is a green, clean, and promoting strategy to deal with the above issues. Among the reported photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction, the main challenge is to achieve WOR simultaneously due to the limited charge separation efficiency and complicated dynamic process. To address the problem, scientists have assembled two nanosemiconductor motifs for CO2RR and WOR into a heterojunction photocatalyst to realize artificial photosynthesis. However, it is difficult to clearly explore the corresponding catalytic mechanism and establish an accurate structure-activity relationship at the molecular level for their aperiodic distribution and complicated structural information. Standing on the shoulders of the heterojunction photocatalysts, a new-generation material, hetero-motif molecular junction (HMMJ) photocatalysts, has been developed and studied by our laboratory. A hetero-motif molecular junction is a class of crystalline materials with a well-defined and periodic structure, adjustable assembly mode, and semiconductor-like properties, which is composed of two predesigned motifs with oxidation and reduction, respectively, by coordination or covalent bonds. The intrinsic properties make these catalysts susceptible to functional modifications to improve light absorption and electrical conductivity. The small size and short distance of the motifs can greatly promote the efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole separation and migration. Based on these advantages, they can be used as potential excellent photocatalysts for artificial photosynthesis. Notably, the explicit structural information determined by single-crystal or powder X-ray diffraction can provide a visual platform to explore the reaction mechanism. More importantly, the connection number, spatial distance, interaction, and arrangement mode of the structural motifs can be well-designed to explore the detailed structure-activity relationship that can be hardly studied in nanoheterojunction photocatalyst systems. In this regard, HMMJ photocatalysts can be a new frontier in artificial photosynthesis and serve as an important bridge between molecular photocatalysts and solid photocatalysts. Thus, it is very important to summarize the state-of-the-art of the HMMJ photocatalysts used for artificial photosynthesis and to give in-depth insight to promote future development.In this Account, we have summarized the recent advances in artificial photosynthesis using HMMJ photocatalysts, mainly focusing on the results in our lab. We present an overview of current knowledge about developed photocatalytic systems for artificial photosynthesis, introduce the design schemes of the HMMJ photocatalysts and their unique advantages as compared to other photocatalysts, summarize the construction strategies of HMMJ photocatalysts and their application in artificial photosynthesis, and explain why hetero-motif molecular junctions can be promising photocatalysts and show that they provide a powerful platform for studying photocatalysis. The structure-activity relationship and charge separation dynamics are illustrated. Finally, we bring our outlook on present challenges and future development of HMMJ photocatalysts and their potential application prospects on other photocatalytic reaction systems. We believe that this Account will afford important insights for the construction of high-efficiency photocatalysts and guidance for the development of more photocatalytic systems in an atom-economic, environmentally friendly, and sustainable way.

Abstract
A new 3D zinc-based metal-organic framework {[Zn7L2(DMF)3(H2O)(OH)2]·5DMF}n (1) (H6L = 5,5',5″-(methylsilanetriyl) triisophthalic acid) was constructed with an organosilicon-based linker, where H6L is a tetrahedral structure furnished with rich -COO- chelating sites for Zn(II) immobilization. Compound 1 exhibited two types of irregular one-dimensional channels and a three-dimensional skeleton with large specific surface area, making it a promising catalytic platform. Moreover, by incorporation of the second metal ion into the inorganic node of framework 1, isomorphic bimetallic MOF ZnMg-1 was successfully synthesized. ZnMg-1 demonstrated enhanced catalytic activity compared to 1 under identical conditions. Contrast experiments and theoretical calculations indicate that bimetallic active sites play a facilitating role in the chemical fixation of epoxides and CO2. It indicated that efficient chemical fixation of CO2 to cyclic carbonates was obtained over isomorphic MOF catalysts 1 and ZnMg-1.
