Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysis emerges as an exceptionally appealing technological avenue for the direct capture, conversion, and storage of renewable solar energy, facilitating the generation of sustainable and ecologically benign solar fuels and a spectrum of other pertinent applications. Heterogeneous nanocomposites, incorporating Covalent Triazine Frameworks (CTFs), exhibit a wide-ranging spectrum of light absorption, well-suited electronic band structures, rapid charge carrier mobility, ample resource availability, commendable chemical robustness, and straightforward synthetic routes. These attributes collectively position them as highly promising photocatalysts with applicability in diverse fields, including but not limited to the production of photocatalytic solar fuels and the decomposition of environmental contaminants. As the field of photocatalysis through the hybridization of CTFs undergoes rapid expansion, there is a pressing and substantive need for a systematic retrospective analysis and forward-looking evaluation to elucidate pathways for enhancing performance. This comprehensive review commences by directing attention to diverse synthetic methodologies for the creation of composite materials. And then it delves into a thorough exploration of strategies geared towards augmenting performance, encompassing the introduction of electron donor-acceptor (D-A) units, heteroatom doping, defect Engineering, architecture of Heterojunction and optimization of morphology. Following this, it systematically elucidates applications primarily centered around the efficient generation of photocatalytic hydrogen, reduction of carbon dioxide through photocatalysis, and the degradation of organic pollutants. Ultimately, the discourse turns towards unresolved challenges and the prospects for further advancement, offering valuable guidance for the potent harnessing of CTFs in high-efficiency photocatalytic processes.

Abstract
Converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuel and high-value-added chemicals is considered a green and effective way to solve global energy and environmental problems. Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are extensively utilized as an emerging catalyst for photo/electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) recently recognized for their distinctive qualities, including excellent thermal and chemical stability, π-conjugated structure, rich nitrogen content, and a strong affinity for CO2, etc. Nevertheless, single-component CTFs have the problems of accelerated recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs and restricted conductivity, which limit their application for photo/electrocatalytic CO2RR. Therefore, emphasis will then summarize the strategies for enhancing the photocatalytic and electrocatalytic efficiency of CTFs for CO2RR in this paper, including atom doping, constructing a heterojunction structure, etc. This review first illustrates the synthesis strategies of CTFs and the advantages of CTFs in the field of photo/electrocatalytic CO2RR. Subsequently, the mechanism of CTF-based materials in photo/electrocatalytic CO2RR is described. Lastly, the challenges and future prospects of CTFs in photo/electrocatalytic CO2RR are addressed, which offers a fresh perspective for the future development of CTFs in photo/electrocatalytic CO2RR.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2302058.

Abstract
Slow charge kinetics and unfavorable CO2 adsorption/activation strongly inhibit CO2 photoreduction. In this study, a strain-engineered Cs3 Bi2 Br9 /hierarchically porous BiVO4 (s-CBB/HP-BVO) heterojunction with improved charge separation and tailored CO2 adsorption/activation capability is developed. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the presence of tensile strain in Cs3 Bi2 Br9 can significantly downshift the p-band center of the active Bi atoms, which enhances the adsorption/activation of inert CO2 . Meanwhile, in situ irradiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron spin resonance confirm that efficient charge transfer occurs in s-CBB/HP-BVO following an S-scheme with built-in electric field acceleration. Therefore, the well-designed s-CBB/HP-BVO heterojunction exhibits a boosted photocatalytic activity, with a total electron consumption rate of 70.63 µmol g-1 h-1 , and 79.66% selectivity of CO production. Additionally, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy reveals that CO2 photoreduction undergoes a formaldehyde-mediated reaction process. This work provides insight into strain engineering to improve the photocatalytic performance of halide perovskite.
