Abstract
Over the past few decades, organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) as novel photocatalyst materials have attracted intensive attention for an impressive variety of photocatalytic applications due to their excellent photophysical (chemical) properties. Regarding practical application and future commercialization, the air-water stability and photocatalytic performance of OIHPs need to be further improved. Accordingly, studying modification strategies and interfacial interaction mechanisms is crucial. In this review, the current progress in the development and photocatalytic fundamentals of OIHPs is summarized. Furthermore, the structural modification strategies of OIHPs, including dimensionality control, heterojunction design, encapsulation techniques, and so on for the enhancement of charge-carrier transfer and the enlargement of long-term stability, are elucidated. Subsequently, the interfacial mechanisms and charge-carrier dynamics of OIHPs during the photocatalytic process are systematically specified and classified via diverse photophysical and electrochemical characterization methods, such as time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, transient photocurrent densities, and so forth. Eventually, various photocatalytic applications of OIHPs, including hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, pollutant degradation, and photocatalytic conversion of organic matter.

Abstract
The remarkable catalytic potential of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) remains underutilized due to their limited stability in polar media, resulting from the vulnerability of their structure to disruption by polar solvents. In this study, we address this challenge by employing the bolaamphiphilic NKE-12 ligand, which features multiple denticities to effectively shield the surface of CsPbBr3 NCs from polar solvent interactions without compromising their light-harvesting properties. Our research, utilizing electrochemical impedance and photocurrent response measurements, highlights efficient charge separation and charge transfer enabled by NKE-12 ligands, which feature multiple ionic groups and peptide bonds, compared to conventional oleylamine/oleic acid ligands on CsPbBr3 NCs. Through the utilization of purely ligand-derived water-dispersed CsPbBr3/NKE-12 NCs, we successfully showcased their photocatalytic activity for acrylamide polymerization. A series of control experiments unveil a radical-based reaction pathway and suggest the synergistic involvement of photogenerated electrons and holes in producing the O2·- and OH· free radicals, respectively. Our findings emphasize the crucial role of ligand engineering in stabilizing perovskites in water and harnessing their exceptional photocatalytic attributes. This study opens new avenues for applying perovskite NCs in various catalytic processes in polar media.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is currently a hot research field, which provides promising processes to produce green energy sources and other useful products, thus eventually benefiting carbon emission reduction and leading to a low-carbon future. The development and application of stable and efficient photocatalytic materials is one of the main technical bottlenecks in the field of photocatalysis. Perovskite has excellent performance in the fields of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), organic synthesis and pollutant degradation due to its unique structure, flexibility and resulting excellent photoelectric and catalytic properties. The stability problems caused by perovskite's susceptibility to environmental influences hinder its further application in the field of photocatalysis. Therefore, this paper innovatively summarizes and analyzes the existing methods and strategies to improve the stability of perovskite in the field of photocatalysis. Specifically, (i) component engineering, (ii) morphological control, (iii) hybridization and encapsulation are thought to improve the stability of perovskites while improving photocatalytic efficiency. Finally, the challenges and prospects of perovskite photocatalysts are discussed, which provides constructive thinking for the potential application of perovskite photocatalysts.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are emerging photocatalyst materials that can enable sustainable solar-to-chemical energy conversion by virtue of their broad absorption spectra, effective separation/transport of photogenerated carriers, and solution processability. Although preliminary studies show the excellent photocatalytic activities of MHPs, their intrinsic structural instability due to the low formation energy and soft ionic nature is an open challenge for their practical applications. This review discusses the latest understanding of the stability issue and strategies to overcome this issue for MHP-based photocatalysis. First, the origin of the instability issue at atomic levels and the design rules for robust structures are analyzed and elucidated. This is then followed by presenting several different material design strategies for stability enhancement, including reaction medium modification, material surface protection, structural dimensionality engineering, and chemical composition engineering. Emphases are placed on understanding the effects of these strategies on photocatalytic stability as well as the possible structure-performance correlation. Finally, the possible future research directions for pursuing stable and efficient MHP photocatalysts in order to accelerate their technological maturity on a practical scale are outlined. With that, it is hoped to provide readers a valuable snapshot of this rapidly developing and exciting field.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis for CO2 reduction coupled with water oxidation currently suffers from low efficiency due to inadequate interfacial charge separation of conventional Z-scheme heterojunctions. Herein, an unprecedented nanoscale Janus Z-scheme heterojunction of CsPbBr3 /TiOx is constructed for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Benefitting from the short carrier transport distance and direct contact interface, CsPbBr3 /TiOx exhibits significantly accelerated interfacial charge transfer between CsPbBr3 and TiOx (8.90 × 108 s-1 ) compared with CsPbBr3 :TiOx counterpart (4.87 × 107 s-1 ) prepared by traditional electrostatic self-assembling. The electron consumption rate of cobalt doped CsPbBr3 /TiOx can reach as high as 405.2 ± 5.6 µmol g-1 h-1 for photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO coupled with H2 O oxidation to O2 under AM1.5 sunlight (100 mW cm-2 ), over 11-fold higher than that of CsPbBr3 :TiOx , and surpassing the reported halide-perovskite-based photocatalysts under similar conditions. This work provides a novel strategy to boost charge transfer of photocatalysts for enhancing the performance of artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Aerogels, especially MXene aerogels, are an ideal multifunctional platform for developing efficient photocatalysts for CO2 reduction because they are featured by abundant catalytic sites, high electrical conductivity, high gas absorption ability and self-supported structure. However, the pristine MXene aerogel has almost no ability to utilize light, which requires additional photosensitizers to assist it in achieving efficient light harvesting. Herein, we immobilized colloidal CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) onto the self-supported Ti3C2Tx (where Tx represents surface terminations such as fluorine, oxygen, and hydroxyl groups) MXene aerogels for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The resultant CsPbBr3/Ti3C2Tx MXene aerogels exhibit a remarkable photocatalytic activity toward CO2 reduction with total electron consumption rate of 112.6 μmol g-1h-1, which is 6.6-fold higher than that of the pristine CsPbBr3 NC powders. The improvement of the photocatalytic performance is presumably attributed to the strong light absorption, effective charge separation and CO2 adsorption in the CsPbBr3/Ti3C2Tx MXene aerogels. This work presents an effective perovskite-based photocatalyst in aerogel form and opens a new avenue for their solar-to-fuel conversions.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a frequently used technique for patients with insufficient alveolar bone. The discovery of bone substitutes that can enhance osteogenesis is critical for GBR. Graphdiyne (GDY), a newly discovered carbon-based nanomaterial, has been recognized as the most stable allotrope of acetylene carbon and is anticipated to be able to promote osteogenesis. Whereas it still remains unknown whether it could enhance osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). In this study, GDY was modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and the influences of GDY-PEG at different concentrations on BMSCs cell growth and osteogenic differentiation were researched for the first time. In this study, we found that GDY-PEG at low concentration possessed premium bio-compatibility and revealed evident facilitation of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation. The cell growth and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs treated with GDY-PEG were dose-dependent. GDY-PEG at 1 μg/mL demonstrated the optimal promoting effects of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, the regulating effect of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation by GDY-PEG might be associated with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In all, the present study indicated a novel application of GDY in promoting bone tissue regeneration, providing a novel biomaterial for bone augmentation in clinics.

Abstract
K2CuBr3 single crystals (SCs) are synthesized using a cooling-induced crystallization method with violet emission due to self-trapped excitons (STEs) under photoexcitation. The prepared K2CuBr3 SCs exhibit a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY, 79.2%) and excellent stability against moisture, heat and UV light. When the K2CuBr3 SCs are used as a light source for visible light communication the data transmission rate reaches a striking 248 Mbps, which is more than 33-fold the -3 dB bandwidth.

Abstract
Halide perovskite semiconductors with extraordinary optoelectronic properties have been fascinatedly studied. Halide perovskite nanocrystals, single crystals, and thin films have been prepared for various fields, such as light emission, light detection, and light harvesting. High-performance devices rely on high crystal quality determined by the nucleation and crystal growth process. Here, the fundamental understanding of the crystallization process driven by supersaturation of the solution is discussed and the methods for halide perovskite crystals are summarized. Supersaturation determines the proportion and the average Gibbs free energy changes for surface and volume molecular units involved in the spontaneous aggregation, which could be stable in the solution and induce homogeneous nucleation only when the solution exceeds a required minimum critical concentration (Cmin ). Crystal growth and heterogeneous nucleation are thermodynamically easier than homogeneous nucleation due to the existent surfaces. Nanocrystals are mainly prepared via the nucleation-dominated process by rapidly increasing the concentration over Cmin , single crystals are mainly prepared via the growth-dominated process by keeping the concentration between solubility and Cmin , while thin films are mainly prepared by compromising the nucleation and growth processes to ensure compactness and grain sizes. Typical strategies for preparing these three forms of halide perovskites are also reviewed.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysts are extensively used to achieve interfacial electric fields for acceleration of oriented charge carrier transport and further promotion of photocatalytic redox reactions. Unfortunately, the incoherent interfaces are almost present in the heterostructures owing to large lattice mismatch accompanied by the interfacial defects and high density of gap states, acting as high energy barriers for charge migration. In this work, we report the atomic engineering of CsPbBr3/PbSe heterogeneous interfaces and conversion from incoherent features to semicoherent characters via methyl acetate (MeOAc) purification of CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) before composited with two-dimensional (2D)-PbSe, which is confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The photocatalytic performances and theoretical calculations indicate that semicoherent interfaces are favorable for improving the activity and reactivity of the heterostructure, triggering 3 times enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction rate with 91% selectivity and satisfactory stability. This study proposes a facile method for photocatalytic heterojunctions to transform incoherent interfaces to photocatalytically beneficial semicoherent boundaries, accompanying with a systematic analysis of the consequent chemical dynamics to demonstrate the mechanism of the semicoherent interface for supporting photocatalysis. The understandings gained from this work are valuable for rational interfacial lattice engineering of heterogeneous photocatalysts for efficient solar fuel production.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) consisting of precious-metal-free elements show attractive potentials towards solar-driven CO2 reduction. However, the inhibition of hydrogen (H2 ) production in aqueous solution remains a challenge. Here, we describe the first example of a carbon-carbon (C-C) coupling reaction to block the competing H2 evolution in photocatalytic CO2 reduction in water. In a specific system taking ZnSe QDs as photocatalysts, the introduction of furfural can significantly suppress H2 evolution leading to CO evolution with a rate of ≈5.3 mmol g-1 h-1 and a turnover number (TON) of >7500 under 24 h visible light. Meanwhile, furfural is upgraded to the self-coupling product with a yield of 99.8 % based on the consumption of furfural. Mechanistic insights show that the reductive furfural coupling reaction occurs on surface Zn-sites to consume electrons and protons originally used for H2 production, while the CO formation pathway at surface anion vacancies from CO2 remains.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have been widely investigated for various photocatalytic applications. However, the dual-functional reaction system integrated selective organic oxidation with H2 production over MHPs is rarely reported. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes integrated with hydrogen (H2) evolution over Pt-decorated CsPbBr3. Especially, the functionalization of CsPbBr3 with graphene oxide (GO) further improves the photoactivity of the perovskite catalyst. The optimal amount of CsPbBr3/GO-Pt exhibits an H2 evolution rate of 1,060 μmol g−1 h−1 along with high selectivity (>99%) for benzyl aldehyde generation (1,050 μmol g−1 h−1) under visible light (λ > 400 nm), which is about five times higher than the CsPbBr3-Pt sample. The enhanced activity has been ascribed to two effects induced by the introduction of GO: 1) GO displays a structure-directing role, decreasing the particle size of CsPbBr3 and 2) GO and Pt act as electron reservoirs, extracting the photogenerated electrons and prohibiting the recombination of the electron–hole pairs. This study opens new avenues to utilize metal halide perovskites as dual-functional photocatalysts to perform selective organic transformations and solar fuel production.

Abstract
As a new member of carbon allotropes, graphdiyne (GDY) has the characteristics of being one-atom-thick with two-dimensional layers comprising sp and sp2 hybridized carbon atoms, and represents a trend in the development of carbon materials. Its unique chemical and electronic structures give GDY many unique and fascinating properties such as rich chemical bonds, highly conjugated and super-large π structures, infinitely distributed pores and high inhomogeneity of charge distribution. GDY has entered a period of rapid development, especially with the significant emergence of fundamental research and applied research achievements over the past five years. As one of the frontiers of chemistry and materials science, graphdiyne was listed in the Top 10 research areas in the 2020 Research Frontiers report and was jointly released in the Top 10 in the world by Clarivate and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The research results have shown the great potential of GDY in the applications of energy, catalysis, environmental science, electronic devices, detectors, biomedicine and therapy, etc. Scientists are eager to explore and fully reveal the new properties, discover new scientific concepts and phenomena, discover the new conversion modes and mechanisms of GDY in photoelectricity, energy, and catalysis, etc., and build the important scientific value of new conversion devices. This review covers research on the foundation and application of GDY, such as the controlled preparation of new methods of GDY and GDY-based materials, studies on new mechanisms and properties in chemistry and physics, and the foundation and applications in energy, catalysis, photoelectric and devices.

Abstract
Utilizing sunlight to convert CO2 into chemical fuels could simultaneously address the greenhouse effect and fossil fuel crisis. ZnSe nanocrystals are promising candidates for photocatalysis because of their low toxicity and excellent photoelectric properties. However, pristine ZnSe generally has low catalytic activities due to serious charge recombination and the lack of efficient catalytic sites for CO2 reduction. Herein, a ZnSe nanorods-CsSnCl3 perovskite (ZnSe-CsSnCl3) type II heterojunction composite is designed and prepared for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The ZnSe-CsSnCl3 type II heterojunction composite exhibits enhanced photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction with respect to pristine ZnSe nanorods. The experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that the efficient charge separation and lowered free energy of CO2 reduction facilitate the CO2 conversion on the ZnSe-CsSnCl3 heterojunction composite. This work presents a type II heterojunction composite photocatalyst based on ecofriendly metal chalcogenides and metal halide perovskites. Our study has also promoted the understanding of the CO2 reduction mechanisms on perovskite nanocrystals, which could be valuable for the development of metal halide perovskite photocatalysts.

Abstract
Very recently, halide perovskites, especially all-inorganic CsPbBr3, have received ever-increasing attention in photocatalysis owing to their superior optoelectronic properties and thermal stability. However, there is a lack of study on their application in thermocatalysis and photo-thermocatalysis. Herein, we rationally designed a core–shell heterojunction formed by encapsulating CsPbBr3 nanoparticles with the 2D C3N4 (m-CN) layer via a solid-state reaction (denoted as m-CN@CsPbBr3). A series of experiments suggest that abundant adsorption and active sites of CO2 molecules as well as polar surfaces were obtained by utilizing m-CN-coated CsPbBr3, resulting in significant improvement in CO2 capture and charge separation. It is found that the m-CN@CsPbBr3 effectively drives the thermocatalytic reduction of CO2 in H2O vapor. By coupling light into the system, the activity for CO2-to-CO reduction is further improved with a yield up to 42.8 μmol g−1 h−1 at 150 °C, which is 8.4 and 2.3 times those of pure photocatalysis (5.1 μmol g−1 h−1) and thermocatalysis (18.7 μmol g−1 h−1), respectively. This work expands the application of general halide perovskites and provides guidance for using perovskite-based catalysts for photo-assisted thermocatalytic CO2 reduction. A water-stable CsPbBr3 catalyst is designed using core–shell encapsulation of the perovskite nanoparticle by 2D-C3N4 for photo-assisted thermocatalytic CO2 reduction by H2O. The m-CN@CsPbBr3 heterojunction shows surprisingly high CO2-to-CO yield.![]()

Abstract
Considering the flexibility, adjustable pore structure, and abundant active sites of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), rational design and fine control of the MOF-based hetero-nanocrystals is a highly important and challenging subject. In this work, self-assembly of a 3D hollow BiOBr@Bi-MOF microsphere was fabricated through precisely controlled dissociation kinetics of the self-sacrificial template (BiOBr) for the first time, where the residual quantity of BiOBr and the formation of Bi-MOF were carefully regulated by changing the reaction time and the capability of coordination. Meanwhile, the hollow microstructure was formed in BiOBr@Bi-MOF through the Oswald ripening mechanism to separate photogenerated electron-hole pairs and increase the adsorption capacity of Bi-MOF for dyes, which significantly enhanced the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of RhB from 56.4% for BiOBr to 99.4% for the optimal BiOBr@Bi-MOF microsphere. This research broadens the selectivity of semiconductor/MOF hetero-nanocrystals with reasonable design and flexible synthesis.

Abstract
Conversion of CO2 into valuable chemical feedstocks through artificial photosynthesis is an effective strategy to alleviate energy and environmental issues. Herein, we have developed a novel perovskite-based catalyst via in situ growing CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) on the affinal 2D CsPb2Br5 nanosheets for CO2 photoconversion. CsPbBr3 QDs were generated by peeling off layers from their cubic counterpart; meanwhile, CsPb2Br5 nanosheets were formed by heaping up the peeled layers. The resultant dual-phase composite exhibited outstanding activity and selectivity for photocatalytic conversion of gaseous CO2 with a CO generation rate of 197.11 μmol g-1 h-1 under 300 W Xe lamp irradiation, which is 2.5 and 1.1 times higher than that of pure CsPb2Br5 or CsPbBr3. Importantly, the fabricated dual-phase material presented extremely high stability and was able to maintain an unchangeable CO2 conversion rate under wet air in the consecutive 10 h of recycling test. Furthermore, attributing to the in situ assembling strategy, the close contact allowed photo-generated electrons in CsPbBr3 QDs to transfer rapidly to CsPb2Br5, and the affluent active sites in such an architecture enabled achieving enhanced CO2 photoconversion activity. The present work provides an attractive approach for in situ constructing a consubstantial perovskite-based composite photocatalyst to ensure great stability and excellent activity for artificial photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Abstract
The new carbon material graphdiyne (GDY) has been verified to have a great application prospect in electrochemical field. In order to study its properties and expand its scope of application, various experiments including structural control tests are imposed on GDY. Among them, as one of the most commonly used methods to modify the structure, heteroatom doping is favored for its advantages in synthesis methods and the control of mechanical, electrical and even magnetic properties of carbon materials. According to the published studies, the top-down methods of doping heteroatoms for GDY only need cheap raw materials, simple synthetic route and strong controllability, which is conducive to rapid performance breakthroughs in electrochemical applications. This review selects the typical cases in the development of that post-modification method from the application of GDY in the electrochemical field. Here, based on the existed reports, the commonly used non-metal elements (such as nitrogen, sulfur) and metal elements (such as iron) have been introduced to post-modify GDY. Then, a detailed analysis is made for corresponding electrochemical applications, such as energy storage and electrocatalysis. Finally, the challenges and prospects of post-modified GDY in synthesis and electrochemical applications are proposed. This review provides us a useful guidance for the development of high-quality GDY suitable for electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite with a suitable energy band structure and excellent visible-light response is a prospective photocatalyst for CO2 reduction. However, the reported inorganic halide perovskites have undesirable catalytic performances due to phase-sensitive and severe charge carrier recombination. Herein, we anchor the FAPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) on Ti3C2 nanosheets to form a FAPbBr3/Ti3C2 composite within a Schottky heterojunction for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Upon visible-light illumination, the FAPbBr3/Ti3C2 composite photocatalyst exhibits an appealing photocatalytic performance in the presence of deionized water. The Ti3C2 nanosheet acts as an electron acceptor to promote the rapid separation of excitons and supply specific catalytic sites. An optimal electron consumption rate of 717.18 μmol/g·h is obtained by the FAPbBr3/0.2-Ti3C2 composite, which has a 2.08-fold improvement over the pristine FAPbBr3 QDs (343.90 μmol/g·h). Meanwhile, the FAPbBr3/Ti3C2 photocatalyst also displays a superior stability during photocatalytic reaction. This work expands a new insight and platform for designing superb perovskite/MXene-based photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of photocatalytic CO2 reduction is to achieve high selectivity for a single product with high efficiency. One of the most significant challenges is that expensive catalysts prepared through complex processes are usually used. Herein, gram-scale cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) nanoparticles are prepared through a top-down ball-milling approach from low-priced 3C-SiC powders. This facile mechanical milling strategy ensures large-scale production of 3C-SiC nanoparticles with an amorphous silicon oxide (SiOx) shell and simultaneously induces abundant surface states. The surface states are demonstrated to trap the photogenerated carriers, thus remarkably enhancing the charge separation, while the thin SiOx shell prevents 3C-SiC from corrosion under visible light. The unique electronic structure of 3C-SiC tackles the challenge associated with low selectivity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction to C1 compounds. In conjugation with efficient water oxidation, 3C-SiC nanoparticles can reduce CO2 into CH4 with selectivity over 90%.
