Abstract
Hexagonal MAB phases (h-MAB) have attracted attention due to their potential to exfoliate into MBenes, similar to MXenes, which are predicted to be promising for Li-ion battery applications. However, the high cost of synthesizing MBenes poses challenges for their use in batteries. This study presents a novel approach where a simple ball-milling treatment is employed to enhance the purity of the h-MAB phase Ti2InB2 and introduce significant indium defects, resulting in improved conductivity and the creation of abundant active sites. The synthesized Ti2InB2 with indium defects (VIn-Ti2InB2) exhibits excellent electrochemical properties, particularly exceptional long-cycle stability at current densities of 5 A g-1 (5000 cycles, average capacity decay of 0.0018%) and 10 A g-1 (15 000 cycles, average capacity decay of 0.093%). The charge storage mechanism of VIn-Ti2InB2, involving a dual redox reaction, is proposed, where defects promote the In-Li alloy reaction and a redox reaction with Li in the TiB layer. Finally, a Li-ion full cell demonstrates cycling stability at 0.5 A g-1 after 350 cycles. This work presents the first accessible and scalable application of VIn-Ti2InB2 as a Li-ion anode, unlocking a wealth of possibilities for sustainable electrochemical applications of h-MAB phases.

Abstract
Solar-driven carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion including photocatalytic (PC), photoelectrochemical (PEC), photovoltaic plus electrochemical (PV/EC) systems, offers a renewable and scalable way to produce fuels and high-value chemicals for environment and energy sustainability. This review summarizes the basic fundament and the recent advances in the field of solar-driven CO2 conversion. Expanding the visible-light absorption is an important strategy to improve solar energy conversion efficiency. The separation and migration of photogenerated charges carriers to surface sites and the surface catalytic processes also determine the photocatalytic performance. Surface engineering including co-catalyst loading, defect engineering, morphology control, surface modification, surface phase junction, and Z-scheme photocatalytic system construction, have become fundamental strategies to obtain high-efficiency photocatalysts. Similar to photocatalysis, these strategies have been applied to improve the conversion efficiency and Faradaic efficiency of typical PEC systems. In PV/EC systems, the electrode surface structure and morphology, electrolyte effects, and mass transport conditions affect the activity and selectivity of electrochemical CO2 reduction. Finally, the challenges and prospects are addressed for the development of solar-driven CO2 conversion system with high energy conversion efficiency, high product selectivity and stability.

Abstract
Single-metal atomic sites and vacancies can accelerate the transfer of photogenerated electrons and enhance photocatalytic performance in photocatalysis. In this study, a series of nickel hydroxide nanoboards (Ni(OH)x NBs) with different loadings of single-atomic Ru sites (w-SA-Ru/Ni(OH)x) were synthesized via a photoreduction strategy. In such catalysts, single-atomic Ru sites are anchored to the vacancies surrounding the pits. Notably, the SA-Ru/Ni(OH)x with 0.60 wt % Ru loading (0.60-SA-Ru/Ni(OH)x) exhibits the highest catalytic performance (27.6 mmol g-1 h-1) during the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 (CO2RR). Either superfluous (0.64 wt %, 18.9 mmol g-1 h-1; 3.35 wt %, 9.4 mmol-1 h-1) or scarce (0.06 wt %, 15.8 mmol g-1 h-1; 0.29 wt %, 21.95 mmol g-1 h-1; 0.58 wt %, 23.4 mmol g-1 h-1) of Ru sites have negative effect on its catalytic properties. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with experimental results revealed that CO2 can be adsorbed in the pits; single-atomic Ru sites can help with the conversion of as-adsorbed CO2 and lower the energy of *COOH formation accelerating the reaction; the excessive single-atomic Ru sites occupy vacancies that retard the completion of CO2RR.

Abstract
Developing efficient heterojunction photocatalysts with enhanced charge transfer and reduced recombination rates of photogenerated carriers is crucial for harnessing solar energy in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction into renewable fuels. This study employed electrostatic self-assembly techniques to construct a 3D Bi2WO6/ZnIn2S4 direct Z-scheme heterojunctions. The unique 3D structure provided abundant active sites and facilitated CO2 adsorption. Moreover, the optimized Bi2WO6/ZnIn2S4 composite demonstrated an impressive CH4 yield of 19.54 μmol g-1 under 4 h of simulated sunlight irradiation, which was about 8.73 and 16.30-fold higher than pure ZnIn2S4 and Bi2WO6. The observed enhancements in photocatalytic performance are attributed to forming a direct Z-scheme heterojunction, which effectively promotes charge transport and migration. This research introduces a novel strategy for constructing photocatalysts through the synergistic effect of morphological interface modifications.

Abstract
Understanding the structure-performance relationships of a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) at the atomic level is key to yielding high efficiency in activating chemically "inert" molecules into value-added products. A sound strategy was developed herein through incorporating oxygen defects into a Zr-based metal-organic layer (Zr-MOL-D) and employing Lewis basic proximal surface hydroxyls for the in situ formation of solid heterogeneous FLP (Zr4-δ-VO-Zr-OH). Zr-MOL-D exhibits a superior CO2 to CO conversion rate of 49.4 μmol g-1 h-1 in water vapor without any sacrificing agent or photosensitizer, which is about 12 times higher than that of pure MOL (Zr-MOL-P), with extreme stability even after being placed for half a year. Theoretical and experimental results reveal that the introduction of FLP converts the process of the crucial intermediate COOH* from an endothermic reaction to an exothermic spontaneous reaction. This work is expected to provide new prospects for developing efficient MOL-based photocatalysts in FLP chemistry through a sound defect-engineering strategy.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) cycloaddition not only produces highly valued cyclic carbonate but also utilizes CO2 as C1 resources with 100% atomic efficiency. However, traditional catalytic routes still suffer from inferior catalytic efficiency and harsh reaction conditions. Developing multienergy-field catalytic technology with expected efficiency offers great opportunity for satisfied yield under mild conditions. Herein, Zn3In2S6 with sulfur vacancies (Sv) was fabricated with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), which is further employed for photothermally driven CO2 cycloaddition first. Photoluminescence spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical characterization demonstrated its superior separation kinetics of photoinduced carriers induced by defect engineering. The temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) technique indicated its excellent Lewis acidity-basicity characters. Due to the combination of above merits from photocatalysis and thermal catalysis, defective Zn3In2S6-Sv achieved a yield as high as 73.2% for cyclic carbonate at 80 °C under blue LED illumination within 2 h (apparent quantum yield of 0.468% under illumination of 380 nm monochromatic light at 36 mW·cm-2), which is 2.9, 2.0, and 6.9 times higher than that in dark conditions and those of pristine Zn3In2S6 and industrial representative tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) thermal-catalysis process under the same conditions, respectively. The synergistic reaction path of photocatalysis and thermal catalysis was discriminated by theoretical calculation. This work provides new insights into the photothermal synergistic catalysis CO2 cycloaddition with defective ternary metal sulfides.

Abstract
Atomically precise Cu clusters are highly desirable as catalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), and they provide an appropriate model platform for elaborating their structure-activity relationship. However, an efficient overall photocatalytic CO2 RR with H2 O using assembled Cu-cluster aggregates as single component photocatalyst has not been reported. Herein, we report a stable crystalline Cu-S-N cluster photocatalyst with local protonated N-H groups (denoted as Cu6 -NH). The catalyst exhibits suitable photocatalytic redox potentials, high structural stability, active catalytic species, and a narrow band gap, which account for its outstanding photocatalytic CO2 RR performance under visible light, with ≈100 % selectivity for CO evolution. Remarkably, systematic isostructural Cu-cluster control experiments, in situ infrared spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations revealed that the protonated pyrimidine N atoms in the Cu6 -NH cluster act as a proton relay station, providing a local proton during the photocatalytic CO2 RR. This efficiently lowers the energy barrier for the formation of the *COOH intermediate, which is the rate-limiting step, efficiently enhancing the photocatalytic performance. This work lays the foundation for the development of atomically precise metal-cluster-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
The manipulation of electronic structure and prevention of photogenerated carriers from being quenched in bulk defects during the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) have been effectively demonstrated through surface vacancy and defect engineering. In this work, the electronic structure on the surface of Zn3In2S6/ZnS (ZIS/ZnS) is significantly modified by the introduction and control of the surface S vacancies (SV) through Ar-plasma treatment. EPR and XPS analyses confirmed that SV was exclusively present on the ZIS/ZnS surface. The resulting ZIS/ZnS heterojunction photocatalysts demonstrate an impressive 46.6% selectivity toward C2 products even in the absence of cocatalysts. The mechanism of photocatalytic CRR is further elucidated through in situ analysis. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the presence of In and Zn atoms adjacent to SV significantly enhances the adsorption of CO2 and facilitates C-C coupling.

Abstract
Solar rechargeable zinc-air battery is a promising approach for capturing and storing intermittent solar energy through photoelectrochemical reactions. However, unassisted photo-charging of zinc-air batteries is challenging due to suboptimal carrier accumulation on photoelectrodes, resulting in sluggish reaction kinetics. Here, unassisted photo-charging of zinc-air battery is achieved by investigating anisotropic photogenerated charge separation on a series of representative semiconductors (ZnIn2 S4 , TiO2 , and In2 O3 ), among which the exceptional anisotropic charge separation on a ZnIn2 S4 photoelectrode is revealed based on anisotropic charge diffusion capabilities. The charge separation is facet-dependent, which is observed using Kelvin probe force microscopy, verifying a cause-and-effect relationship between the photo-charge accumulation on photoelectrodes and their photo-charging performance in zinc-air batteries. This work achieves an unassisted photo-charging current density of 1.9 mA cm-2 with a light-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency of 1.45%, highlighting the importance of anisotropic semiconductors for unassisted photo-charging of zinc-air batteries via efficient photogenerated charge separation.

Abstract
The active center for the adsorption and activation of carbon dioxide plays a vital role in the conversion and product selectivity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Here, we find multiple metal sulfides CuInSnS4 octahedral nanocrystal with exposed (1 1 1) plane for the selectively photocatalytic CO2 reduction to methane. Still, the product is switched to carbon monoxide on the corresponding individual metal sulfides In2S3, SnS2, and Cu2S. Unlike the common metal or defects as active sites, the non-metal sulfur atom in CuInSnS4 is revealed to be the adsorption center for responding to the selectivity of CH4 products. The carbon atom of CO2 adsorbed on the electron-poor sulfur atom of CuInSnS4 is favorable for stabilizing the intermediates and thus promotes the conversion of CO2 to CH4. Both the activity and selectivity of CH4 products over the pristine CuInSnS4 nanocrystal can be further improved by the modification of with various co-catalysts to enhance the separation of the photogenerated charge carrier. This work provides a non-metal active site to determine the conversion and selectivity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Herein, an urchin-like Fe2O3@In2S3 hybrid composite is designed and synthesized using a facile process. The composite efficiently harvests light in both the ultraviolet and visible regions, and the unique hierarchical structure provides several advantages for photocatalytic applications: (i) a suitable band-matching structure and broadband-light absorbing capacity enable the reduction of CO2 into hydrocarbon, (ii) the extensive network of interfacial contact between nano-sized Fe2O3 and In2S3 significantly increases the separation of charge carriers and enhances the utilization of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and (iii) an abundance of surface oxygen vacancies provide numerous active sites for CO2 molecule adsorption. The optimized Fe2O3@In2S3 composite generated CO from the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 at a rate of 42.83 μmol·g-1·h-1, and no signs of deactivation were observed during continued testing for 32 h under 300 W Xe lamp irradiation.

Abstract
Photocatalysis provides a new way for synchronous H2 production and organic synthesis at normal temperature and pressure, usually, water and organic substrate function as sources of hydrogen protons and organic products, which are complex and limited by two half-reactions. Employing alcohols as reaction substrates to simultaneously produce H2 and valuable organics in a redox cycle is worthy studying, to which catalyst design at atomic level holds the key. In this paper, Co elements doped Cu3P (CoCuP) quantum dots (QDs) are prepared and coupled with ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) nanosheets to form a 0D/2D p-n nanojunction which can effectively boost aliphatic and aromatic alcohols activation to simultaneously produce H2 and corresponding ketones (or aldehydes). The optimal CoCuP/ZIS composite demonstrated the highest activity for dehydrogenation of isopropanol to acetone (17.77 mmol⋅g-1⋅h-1) and H2 (26.8 mmol⋅g-1⋅h-1), which was 2.40 and 1.63 times higher than that of Cu3P/ZIS composite, respectively. Mechanistic investigations revealed that such high-performance originated from the accelerated electron transfer of the formed p-n junction and the thermodynamic optimization caused by the Co dopant which was the active site of oxydehydrogenation as a prerequisite step for isopropanol oxidation over the surface of the CoCuP/ZIS composite. Besides that, coupling of the CoCuP QDs can lower the dehydrogenation activation energy of isopropanol to form a key radical intermediate of (CH3)2CHO* for improving the activity of simultaneous production of H2 and acetone. This strategy provides an overall reaction strategy to obtain two meaningful products (H2 and ketones (or aldehydes)) and deeply explores the integrated redox reaction of alcohol as substrate for high solar-chemical energy conversion.

Abstract
Artificial manipulation of charge separation and transfer are central issues dominating hydrogen evolution reaction triggered via photocatalysis. Herein, through elaborate designing on the architecture, band alignment, and interface bonding mode, a sulfur vacancy-rich ZnIn2S4-based (Vs-ZIS) multivariate heterostructure ZnIn2S4/MoSe2/In2Se3 (Vs-ZIS/MoSe2/In2Se3) with specific Janus Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism is constructed through a two-step hydrothermal process. Steering by the Janus Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism, photogenerated electrons in the conduction band of MoSe2 transfer synchronously to the valence band of Vs-ZIS and In2Se3, resulting in abundant highly-active photogenerated electrons reserved in the conduction band of Vs-ZIS and In2Se3, therefore significantly enhancing the photocatalytic activity of hydrogen evolution. Under visible light irradiation, the optimized Vs-ZIS/MoSe2/In2Se3 with the mass ratio of MoSe2 and In2Se3 to ZnIn2S4 at 3 % and 30 %, respectively, performs a high hydrogen evolution rate of 124.42 mmol·g-1·h-1, about 43.5-folds of the original ZIS photocatalyst. Besides, an apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 22.5 % at 420 nm and favorable durability are also achieved over Vs-ZIS/MoSe2/In2Se3 photocatalyst. This work represents an important development in efficient photocatalysts and donates a sound foundation for the design of regulating charge transfer pathways.

Abstract
One of the most sustainable and promising approaches for hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) production in a low-cost and environment-friendly way is photosynthesis, which, however, suffers from poor carrier utilization and low H2 O2 productivity. The addition of proton donors such as isopropanol or ethanol can increase H2 O2 production, which, unfortunately, will inevitably elevate the entire cost while wasting the oxidizing power of holes (h+ ). Herein, the tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) is employed as a distinctive proton donor for the thermodynamically feasible and selective semi-dehydrogenation reaction to highly valuable dihydroisoquinolines (DHIQs), and meanwhile, to couple with and promote H2 O2 generation in one photoredox reaction under the photocatalysis by dual-functional Zn3 In2 S6 photocatalyst. Surprisingly, the suitably defective Zn3 In2 S6 offers an excellent and near-stoichiometric co-production performance of H2 O2 and DHIQs at unprecedentedly high rates of 66.4 and 62.1 mmol h-1 g-1 under visible light (λ ≥ 400 nm), respectively, which outperforms all the previously available reports even though sacrificial agents were employed in those reports. Additionally, photocatalytic redox reaction mechanism demonstrates that H2 O2 can be generated through multiple pathways, highlighting the synergistic effect among ROS (·O2 - and 1 O2 ), h+ and proton donor, which has been ignored in previous studies.

Abstract
Most of the intrinsic photocatalysts with visible light response can only generate one active radical due to the limitation of their band structures, which is immediate cause limiting their photocatalytic degradation performance. In this work, ZnIn2S4 with Zn vacancy and S vacancy (VZn+S-ZnIn2S4) was prepared for the first time. As expected, the VZn+S-ZnIn2S4 exhibits remarkable photocatalytic performance for 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) degradation under visible light and the apparent rate constant is about 11 times that of pristine ZnIn2S4. The construction of dual vacancies can regulate the energy band structure of the ZnIn2S4, enabling it to generate •OH and •O2- simultaneously. Meanwhile, dual vacancies system can also extremely improve the separation efficiency of carriers. It is worth noting that Zn vacancy and S vacancy can capture photogenerated holes and photogenerated electrons, respectively, which is beneficial for photogenerated carriers to participate in radical generation reactions. In addition, a possible 4-NP degradation pathway was proposed based on HPLC-MS analysis. This work provides a new way to construct photocatalysts for photodegradation of pollutants in wastewater.
