Highly Selective CO 2 Electroreduction to C 2H 4 Using a Dual-Sites Cu(II) Porphyrin Framework Coupled with Cu 2O Nanoparticles via a Synergetic-Tandem Strategy. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202407090. [PMID: 38840270 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202407090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Low *CO coverage on the active sites is a major hurdle in the tandem electrocatalysis, resulting in unsatisfied C2H4 production efficiencies. In this work, we developed a synergetic-tandem strategy to construct a copper-based composite catalyst for the electroreduction of CO2 to C2H4, which was constructed via the template-directed polymerization of ultrathin Cu(II) porphyrin organic framework incorporating atomically isolated Cu(II) porphyrin and Cu(II) bipyridine sites on a carbon nanotube (CNT) scaffold, and then Cu2O nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on the CNT scaffold. The presence of dual active sites within the Cu(II) porphyrin organic framework create a synergetic effect, leading to an increase in local *CO availability to enhance the C-C coupling step implemented on the adjacent Cu2O nanoparticles for further C2H4 production. Accordingly, the resultant catalyst affords an exceptional CO2-to-C2H4 Faradaic efficiency (FEC2H4) of 71.0 % at -1.1 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), making it one of the most effective copper-based tandem catalysts reported to date. The superior performance of the catalyst is further confirmed through operando infrared spectroscopy and theoretic calculations.

Abstract
Renewable energy-driven conversion of CO2 to value-added fuels and chemicals via electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) technology is regarded as a promising strategy with substantial environmental and economic benefits to achieve carbon neutrality. Because of its sluggish kinetics and complex reaction paths, developing robust catalytic materials with exceptional selectivity to the targeted products is one of the core issues, especially for extensively concerned Cu-based materials. Manipulating Cu species by anionic coordination is identified as an effective way to improve electrocatalytic performance, in terms of modulating active sites and regulating structural reconstruction. This review elaborates on recent discoveries and progress of Cu-based CO2RR catalytic materials enhanced by anionic coordination control, regarding reaction paths, functional mechanisms, and roles of different non-metallic anions in catalysis. Finally, the review concludes with some personal insights and provides challenges and perspectives on the utilization of this strategy to build desirable electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Prolonging energetic hot electrons lifetimes and surface activity in the reactive site can overcome the slow kinetics and unfavorable thermodynamics of photo-activated gas sensors. However, bulk and surface recombination limit the simultaneous optimization of both kinetics and thermodynamics. Here tandem electric fields are deployed at (111)/(100)Au-CeO2 to ensure a sufficient driving force for carrier transfer and elucidate the mechanism of the relationship between charge transport and gas-sensing performance. The asymmetric structure of the (111)/(100)CeO2 facet junction provides interior electric fields, which facilitates electron transfer from the (100)face to the (111)face. This separation of reduction and oxidation reaction sites across different crystal faces helps inhibit surface recombination. The increased electron concentration at the (111)face intensifies the interface electric field, which promotes electron transfer to the Au site. The local electric field generated by the surface plasmon resonance effect promotes the generation of high-energy energy hot-electrons, which maintains charge concentration in the interface field by injecting into (111)/(100)CeO2, thereby provide thermodynamic contributions and inhibit bulk recombination. The tandem electric fields enable the (111)/(100)Au-CeO2 to rapidly detect 5 ppm of NO2 at room temperature with stability maintained within 20 s.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion has enormous potential for reducing high atmospheric CO2 levels and producing valuable products simultaneously; however the development of inexpensive catalysts remains a great challenge. In this work, we successfully synthesised a 1D Cu-based metal-organic framework [Cu(PyDC)(H2O)], which crystallizes in an orthorhombic system with the Pccn space group, by the hydrothermal method. Among the different catalysts utilized, the heterostructures of cathodized Cu-Cu2O@CC demonstrate increased efficiency in producing CH3OH and C2H4, achieving maximum FE values of 37.4% and 40.53%, respectively. Also, the product formation rates of CH3OH and C2H4 reach up to 667 and 1921 μmol h-1 cm-2. On the other side, Cu-Cu2O/NC-700 carbon composites simultaneously produced C1-C3 products with a total FE of 23.27%. Furthermore, a comprehensive study involving detailed DFT simulations is used to calculate the energetic stability and catalytic activity towards the CO2 reduction of Cu(111), Cu2O(111), and Cu@Cu2O(111) surfaces. During the early phase of electrochemical treatment, Cu(II) carboxylate nodes (Cu-O) in the Cu(PyDC)(H2O) MOF were reduced to Cu and Cu2O, with a possible synergistic enhancement from the PyDC ligands. Thus, the improved activity and product enhancement are closely associated with the cathodized reconstruction of Cu-Cu2O@CC heterostructures on carbon cloth. Hence, this study provides efficient derivatives of Cu-based MOFs for notable electrocatalytic activity in CO2 reduction and gives valuable insights towards the advancement of practical CO2 conversion technology.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (ECO2RR) is a promising way to realize the transformation of waste into valuable material, which can not only meet the environmental goal of reducing carbon emissions, but also obtain clean energy and valuable industrial products simultaneously. Herein, we first introduce the complex CO2RR mechanisms based on the number of carbons in the product. Since the coupling of C-C bonds is unanimously recognized as the key mechanism step in the ECO2RR for the generation of high-value products, the structural-activity relationship of electrocatalysts is systematically reviewed. Next, we comprehensively classify the latest developments, both experimental and theoretical, in different categories of cutting-edge electrocatalysts and provide theoretical insights on various aspects. Finally, challenges are discussed from the perspectives of both materials and devices to inspire researchers to promote the industrial application of the ECO2RR at the earliest.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to ethylene creates a carbon-neutral approach to converting carbon dioxide into intermittent renewable electricity. Exploring efficient electrocatalysts with potentially high ethylene selectivity is extremely desirable, but still challenging. In this report, a laboratory-designed catalyst HKUST-1@Cu2O/PTFE-1 is prepared, in which the high specific surface area of the composites with improved CO2 adsorption and the abundance of active sites contribute to the increased electrocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the hydrophobic interface constructed by the hydrophobic material polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) effectively inhibits the occurrence of hydrogen evolution reactions, providing a significant improvement in the efficiency of CO2 electroreduction. The distinctive structures result in the remarkable hydrocarbon fuels generation with high Faraday efficiency (FE) of 67.41%, particularly for ethylene with FE of 46.08% (-1.0 V vs RHE). The superior performance of the catalyst is verified by DFT calculation with lower Gibbs free energy of the intermediate interactions with improved proton migration and selectivity to emerge the polycarbon(C2+) product. In this work, a promising and effective strategy is presented to configure MOF-based materials with tailored hydrophobic interface, high adsorption selectivity and more exposed active sites for enhancing the efficiency of the electroreduction of CO2 to C2+ products with high added value.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO2 R) is a promising pathway for converting greenhouse gasses into valuable fuels and chemicals using intermittent renewable energy. Enormous efforts have been invested in developing and designing CO2 R electrocatalysts suitable for industrial applications at accelerated reaction rates. The microenvironment, specifically the local CO2 concentration (local [CO2 ]) as well as the water and ion transport at the CO2 -electrolyte-catalyst interface, also significantly impacts the current density, Faradaic efficiency (FE), and operation stability. In nature, hydrophobic surfaces of aquatic arachnids trap appreciable amounts of gases due to the "plastron effect", which could inspire the reliable design of CO2 R catalysts and devices to enrich gaseous CO2 . In this review, starting from the wettability modulation, we summarize CO2 enrichment strategies to enhance CO2 R. To begin, superwettability systems in nature and their inspiration for concentrating CO2 in CO2 R are described and discussed. Moreover, other CO2 enrichment strategies, compatible with the hydrophobicity modulation, are explored from the perspectives of catalysts, electrolytes, and electrolyzers, respectively. Finally, a perspective on the future development of CO2 enrichment strategies is provided. We envision that this review could provide new guidance for further developments of CO2 R toward practical applications.

Abstract
Due to the increasing global energy demands, scarce fossil fuel supplies, and environmental issues, the pursued goals of energy technologies are being sustainable, more efficient, accessible, and produce near zero greenhouse gas emissions. Electrochemical water splitting is considered as a highly viable and eco-friendly energy technology. Further, electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction reaction (CO2 RR) is a cleaner strategy for CO2 utilization and conversion to stable energy (fuels). One of the critical issues in these cleaner technologies is the development of efficient and economical electrocatalyst. Among various materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are becoming increasingly popular because of their structural tunability, such as pre- and post- synthetic modifications, flexibility in ligand design and its functional groups, and incorporation of different metal nodes, that allows for the design of suitable MOFs with desired quality required for each process. In this review, the design of MOF was discussed for specific process together with different synthetic methods and their effects on the MOF properties. The MOFs as electrocatalysts were highlighted with their performances from the aspects of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and electrochemical CO2 RR. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this field are discussed.

The present study synthesizes peroxidase-like nanozymes with multinuclear active sites using two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets and evaluates them for their practical applications. A simple method involving a one-pot bottom-up reflux reaction is developed for the mass synthesis of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets, significantly increasing production quantity and reducing reaction time compared to traditional autoclave methods. The (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets with the unique coordination of Cu(I) stabilized in Cu-based MOFs demonstrate impressive activity in mimicking natural peroxidase. The active sites of the peroxidase-like activity of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets were predominantly verified as Cu(I) rather than Cu(II) of other Cu-based MOFs. The cost-effective and long-term stability of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets make them suitable for practical applications. Furthermore, the inhibition of the peroxidase-like activity of (Cu-S)n MOF nanosheets by glutathione (GSH) could provide a simple strategy for colorimetric detection of GSH against other amino acids. This work remarkably extends the utilization of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets in biosensing, revealing the potential for 2D (Cu-S)n MOFs.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2ER) has become an effective solution to relieve the energy crisis and tackle climate change. In this study, a series of tin-based organic frameworks modified by In (Sn-MOF/Inx) were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method and explored for high formate-selective CO2ER. The pure Sn-MOF exhibits maximum formate selectivity with a faradaic efficiency (FEformate) of approximately 85.0% and a current density of 15 mA cm-2 at -1.16 VRHE, while the In (6%)-modified Sn-MOF (Sn-MOF/In6) delivers a much higher maximum FEformate (around 97.5%) and a current density of 16 mA cm-2 at -0.96 VRHE. Remarkably, the Sn-MOF/In6 exhibits a significantly larger specific surface area (183.3 m2 g-1) compared to the Sn-MOF (65.2 m2 g-1). These findings indicate that introducing In, an alien element with a slightly different outer orbital electron number from that of Sn, can significantly boost the selectivity and activity for CO2ER to formate. This study presents an efficient way to modify MOF catalysts through a well-designed introducing process.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalysts are outstanding alternative materials for the chemical transformation of greenhouse and toxic gases into high-add-value products. MOF catalysts exhibit remarkable properties to host different active sites. The combination of catalytic properties of MOFs is mentioned in order to understand their application. Furthermore, the main catalytic reactions, which involve the chemical transformation of CH4, CO2, NOx, fluorinated gases, O3, CO, VOCs, and H2S, are highlighted. The main active centers and reaction conditions for these reactions are presented and discussed to understand the reaction mechanisms. Interestingly, implementing MOF materials as catalysts for toxic gas-phase reactions is a great opportunity to provide new alternatives to enhance the air quality of our planet.

Abstract
Ethylene is an ideal CO2 product in an electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) with high economic value. This paper synthesised Al-doped octahedral Cu2O (Al-Cu2O) nanocrystal by a simple wet chemical method. The selectivity of CO2RR products was improved by doping Al onto the surface of octahedral Cu2O. The Al-Cu2O was used as an efficient electrocatalyst for CO2RR with selective ethylene production. The Al-Cu2O exhibited a high % Faradic efficiency (FEC2H4) of 44.9% at -1.23 V (vs. RHE) in CO2 saturated 0.1 M KHCO3 electrolyte. Charge transfer from the Al atom to the Cu atom occurs after Al doping in Cu2O, optimizing the electronic structure and facilitating CO2RR to ethylene production. The DFT calculation showed that the Al-Cu2O catalyst could effectively reduce the adsorption energy of the *CHCOH intermediate and promote the mass transfer of charges, thus improving the FEC2H4. After Al doping into Cu2O, the center of d orbitals shift positively, which makes the d-band closer to the Fermi level. Furthermore, the density of electronic states increases due to the interaction between Cu atoms and intermediates, thus accelerating the electrochemical CO2 reduction process. This work proved that the metal doping strategy can effectively improve the catalytic properties of Cu2O, thus providing a useful way for CO2 cycling and green production of C2H4.

Abstract
Electrochemically reducing CO2 to more reduced chemical species is a promising way that not only enables the conversion of intermittent energy resources to stable fuels, but also helps to build a closed-loop anthropogenic carbon cycle. Among various electrocatalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction, multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been employed as highly efficient and selective heterogeneous electrocatalysts due to their ultrahigh porosity and topologically diverse structures. Up to now, great progress has been achieved in the design and synthesis of highly active and selective MOF-related catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), and their corresponding reaction mechanisms have been thoroughly studied. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of applying MOFs and their derivatives in CO2RR, with a focus on the design strategies for electrocatalysts and electrolyzers. We first discussed the reaction mechanisms for different CO2RR products and introduced the commonly applied electrolyzer configurations in the current CO2RR system. Then, an overview of several categories of products (CO, HCOOH, CH4, CH3OH, and multi-carbon chemicals) generated from MOFs or their derivatives via CO2RR was discussed. Finally, we offer some insights and perspectives for the future development of MOFs and their derivatives in electrochemical CO2 reduction. We aim to provide new insights into this field and further guide future research for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Tandem catalysis is a promising way to break the limitation of linear scaling relationship for enhancing efficiency, and the desired tandem catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) are urgent to be developed. Here, a tandem electrocatalyst created by combining Cu foil (CF) with a single-site Cu(II) metal-organic framework (MOF), named as Cu-MOF-CF, to realize improved electrochemical CO2 RR performance, is reported. The Cu-MOF-CF shows suppression of CH4 , great increase in C2 H4 selectivity (48.6%), and partial current density of C2 H4 at -1.11 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. The outstanding performance of Cu-MOF-CF for CO2 RR results from the improved microenvironment of the Cu active sites that inhibits CH4 production, more CO intermediate produced by single-site Cu-MOF in situ for CF, and the enlarged active surface area by porous Cu-MOF. This work provides a strategy to combine MOFs with copper-based electrocatalysts to establish high-efficiency electrocatalytic CO2 RR.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2RR) is considered one of the approaches with the most potential to achieve lower carbon emissions in the future, but a huge gap still exists between the current ECO2RR technology and industrial applications. Therefore, the design and preparation of catalysts with satisfactory activity, selectivity and stability for the ECO2RR have attracted extensive attention. As a classic type of functional porous framework, crystalline porous materials (e.g., metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs)) and derived porous materials (e.g., MOF/COF composites and pyrolysates) have been regarded as superior catalysts for the ECO2RR due to their advantages such as designable porosity, modifiable skeleton, flexible active site structure, regulable charge transfer pathway and controllable morphology. Meanwhile, with the rapid development of nano-characterization and theoretical calculation technologies, the structure-activity relationships of functional porous frameworks have been comprehensively considered, i.e., metallic element type, local coordination environment, and microstructure, corresponding to selectivity, activity and mass transfer efficiency for the ECO2RR, respectively. In this review, the rational design strategy for functional porous frameworks is briefly but precisely generalized based on three key factors including metallic element type, local coordination environment, and microstructure. Then, details about the structure-activity relationships for functional porous frameworks are illustrated in the order of MOFs, COFs, composites and pyrolysates to analyze the effect of the above-mentioned three factors on their ECO2RR performance. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of functional porous frameworks for the further development of the ECO2RR are reasonably proposed, aiming to offer insights for future studies in this intriguing and significant research field.

Abstract
Molecular catalysts have been receiving increasingly attention in the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) with attractive features such as precise catalytic sites and tunable ligands. However, the insufficient activity and low selectivity of deep reduction products restrain the utilization of molecular catalysts in CO2 RR. Herein, a donor-acceptor modified Cu porphyrin (CuTAPP) is developed, in which amino groups are linked to donate electrons toward the central CuN4 site to enhance the CO2 RR activity. The CuTAPP catalyst exhibited an excellent CO2 -to-CH4 electroreduction performance, including a high CH4 partial current density of 290.5 mA cm-2 and a corresponding Faradaic efficiency of 54.8% at -1.63 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in flow cells. Density functional theory calculations indicated that CuTAPP presented a much lower energy gap in the pathway of producing *CHO than Cu porphyrin without amino group modification. This work suggests a useful strategy of introducing designed donor-acceptor structures into molecular catalysts for enhancing electrochemical CO2 conversion toward deep reduction products.

Abstract
Photo- or electroreduction of carbon dioxide into highly valued products offers a promising strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. Here, a series of polyoxometalate-based metal-organic frameworks (M-POMOFs) were constructed by metalloporphyrins [tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)-porphyrin-M (M-TCPPs)] and reductive POM for photo- and electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reductions (PCR and ECR, respectively), and the mysteries between the roles of single metal site and cluster in catalysis were disclosed. Iron-POMOF exhibited an excellent selectivity (97.2%) with high methane production of 922 micromoles per gram in PCR, together with superior Faradaic efficiency for carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide (92.1%) in ECR. The underlying mechanisms were further clarified. Photogenerated electrons transferred from iron-TCPP to the POM cluster for methane generation under irradiation, while the abundant electrons flowed to the center of iron-TCPP for carbon monoxide formation under the applied electric field. The specific multielectron products generated on iron-POMOF through switching driving forces to control electron flow direction between single metal site and cluster catalysis.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) to produce high value-added chemicals or fuels is a promising technology to address the greenhouse effect and energy challenges. Formate is a desirable product of CO2RR with great economic value. Here, nitrogen-doped bismuth nanosheets (N-BiNSs) were prepared by a facile one-step method. The N-BiNSs were used as efficient electrocatalysts for CO2RR with selective formate production. The N-BiNSs exhibited a high formate Faradic efficiency (FEformate) of 95.25% at -0.95 V (vs. RHE) with a stable current density of 33.63 mA cm-2 in 0.5 M KHCO3. Moreover, the N-BiNSs for CO2RR yielded a large current density (300 mA cm-2) for formate production in a flow-cell measurement, achieving the commercial requirement. The FEformate of 90% can maintain stability for 14 h of electrolysis. Nitrogen doping could induce charge transfer from the N atom to the Bi atom, thus modulating the electronic structure of N-Bi nanosheets. DFT results demonstrated the N-BiNSs reduced the adsorption energy of the *OCHO intermediate and promoted the mass transfer of charges, thereby improving the CO2RR with high FEformate. This study provides a valuable strategy to enhance the catalytic performance of bismuth-based catalysts for CO2RR by using a nitrogen-doping strategy.

Abstract
In certain metalloenzymes, multimetal centers with appropriate primary/secondary coordination environments allow carbon-carbon coupling reactions to occur efficiently and with high selectivity. This same function is seldom realized in molecular electrocatalysts. Herein we synthesized rod-shaped nanocatalysts with multiple copper centers through the molecular assembly of a triphenylphosphine copper complex (CuPPh). The assembled molecular CuPPh catalyst demonstrated excellent electrochemical CO2 fixation performance in aqueous solution, yielding high-value C2+ hydrocarbons (ethene) and oxygenates (ethanol) as the main products. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and quasi-in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and reaction intermediate capture, we established that the excellent catalytic performance originated from the large number of double copper centers in the rod-shaped assemblies. Cu-Cu distances in the absence of CO2 were as long as 7.9 Å, decreasing substantially after binding CO2 molecules indicating dynamic and cooperative function. The double copper centers were shown to promote carbon-carbon coupling via a CO2 transfer-coupling mechanism involving an oxalate (OOC-COO) intermediate, allowing the efficient production of C2+ products. The assembled CuPPh nanorods showed high activity, excellent stability, and a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) to C2+ products (65.4%), with performance comparable to state-of-the-art copper oxide-based catalysts. To our knowledge, our findings demonstrate that harnessing metalloenzyme-like properties in molecularly assembled catalysts can greatly improve the selectivity of CO2RR, promoting the rational design of improved CO2 reduction catalysts.

Abstract
Metal/metal oxide catalysts reveal unique CO2 adsorption and hydrogenation properties in CO2 electroreduction for the synthesis of chemical fuels. The dispersion of active components on the surface of metal oxide has unique quantum effects, significantly affecting the catalytic activity and selectivity. Catalyst models with 25, 50, and 75% Ag covering on ZrO2, denoted as Ag4/(ZrO2)9, Ag8/(ZrO2)9, and Ag12/(ZrO2)9, respectively, were developed and coupled with a detailed investigation of the electronic properties and electroreduction processes from CO2 into different chemical fuels using density functional theory calculations. The dispersion of Ag can obviously tune the hybridization between the active site of the catalyst and the O atom of the intermediate species CH3O* derived from the reduction of CO2, which can be expected as the key intermediate to lead the reduction path to differentiation of generation of CH4 and CH3OH. The weak hybridization between CH3O* and Ag4/(ZrO2)9 and Ag12/(ZrO2)9 favors the further reduction of CH3O* into CH3OH. In stark contrast, the strong hybridization between CH3O* and Ag8/(ZrO2)9 promotes the dissociation of the C-O bond of CH3O*, thus leading to the generation of CH4. Results provide a fundamental understanding of the CO2 reduction mechanism on the metal/metal oxide surface, favoring novel catalyst rational design and chemical fuel production.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is a promising technology for efficient hydrogen production, but it has been heavily hindered by the sluggish kinetics and high potential of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Replacing the OER with the glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) at the anode is recognized as a potential strategy to address this issue. In this work, the self-supported electrocatalytic electrode of Cu-Cu2O nanoclusters on carbon cloth (Cu-Cu2O/CC) is fabricated for the electrocatalysis of the GOR, which has high activity towards the GOR, reaching 10 mA cm-2 at an applied voltage of 1.21 V, and shows high selectivity for formate production with a faradaic efficiency (FE) of over 80% in a wide potential range. Moreover, a hybrid acid/alkali electrolyzer is assembled by coupling the Cu-Cu2O/CC anode for the GOR in an alkaline electrolyte with commercial Pt/C as the cathode for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in an acid electrolyte. The dual-electrolyte electrolytic cell only requires an applied voltage of 0.59 V to reach 10 mA cm-2 with a FE of ∼100% for H2 and 97% for formate production. This work provides a facile strategy for the application of glycerol upgradation in energy-saving water electrolysis systems.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is an attractive pathway to convert CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels. Copper (Cu) is the most effective monometallic catalyst for converting CO2 into multi-carbon products, but suffers from high overpotentials and poor selectivity. Therefore, it is essential to design efficient Cu-based catalyst to improve the selectivity of specific products. Due to the combination of advantages of organic and inorganic composite materials, organic-inorganic composites exhibit high catalytic performance towards CO2RR, and have been extensively studied. In this review, the research advances of various Cu-based organic-inorganic composite materials in CO2RR, i.e., organic molecular modified-metal Cu composites, Cu-based molecular catalyst/carbon carrier composites, Cu-based metal organic framework (MOF) composites, and Cu-based covalent organic framework (COF) composites are systematically summarized. Particularly, the synthesis strategies of Cu-based composites, structure-performance relationship, and catalytic mechanisms are discussed. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of Cu-based organic-inorganic composite materials in CO2RR are proposed.

Abstract
Achievement of the intrinsic activity by in situ electrochemical reconstruction has been becoming a great challenge for designing a catalyst. Herein, an effective electrochemical strategy is proposed to reconstruct the surface of the CF-CuO/CeO2 precursor. Under the stimulation of oxidative/reductive potential, abundant active sites were successfully generated on the surface of CF-CuO/CeO2. Remarkably, the implantation of oxygen vacancy-rich CeO2 synergistically optimizes the chemical composition and electronic structure of CF-CuO/CeO2, greatly promoting the generation of active species. Systematic electrochemical experiments indicate that the superior catalytic performance of reconstructed CF-CuO/CeO2 could be attributed to CuOOH/CeO2 and Cu2O/Ce2O3 active species, respectively. The oxidative-/reductive-activated CF-CuO/CeO2 was further employed in a paired cell for the synergistic catalysis of hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation with 4-nitrophenol hydrogenation. As a result, nearly 100% Faraday efficiency for furandicarboxylic acid/4-aminophenol production was achieved in the paired system (-0.9 V vs Ag/AgCl, 1.5 h). Therefore, the electrochemical reconstruction via oxidative/reductive activation has been confirmed as a feasible approach to significantly excite the intrinsic activity of a catalyst.

Abstract
Integrated/cascade plasma-enabled N2 oxidation and electrocatalytic NOx- (where x = 2, 3) reduction reaction (pNOR-eNOx-RR) holds great promise for the renewable synthesis of ammonia (NH3). However, the corresponding activated effects and process of plasma toward N2 and O2 molecules and the mechanism of eNOx-RR to NH3 are unclear and need to be further uncovered, which largely limits the large-scale deployment of this process integration technology. Herein, we systematically investigate the plasma-enabled activation and recombination processes of N2 and O2 molecules, and more meaningfully, the mechanism of eNOx-RR at a microscopic level is also decoupled using copper (Cu) nanoparticles as a representative electrocatalyst. The concentration of produced NOx in the pNOR system is confirmed as a function of the length for spark discharge as well as the volumetric ratio for N2 and O2 feeding gas. The successive protonation process of NOx- and the key N-containing intermediates (e.g., -NH2) of eNOx-RR are detected with in situ infrared spectroscopy. Besides, in situ Raman spectroscopy further reveals the dynamic reconstruction process of Cu nanoparticles during the eNOx-RR process. The Cu nanoparticle-driven pNOR-eNOx-RR system can finally achieve a high NH3 yield rate of ∼40 nmol s-1 cm-2 and Faradaic efficiency of nearly 90%, overperforming the benchmarks reported in the literature. It is anticipated that this work will stimulate the practical development of the pNOR-eNOx-RR system for the green electrosynthesis of NH3 directly from air and water under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Enrichment and separation of specific endogenous molecules are essential for disease diagnosis and the pharmaceutical industry. Although many solid sorbents have been developed for target molecule enrichment, simultaneous separation of multitargets is still a challenge for adsorbents. In this study, we develop a multitarget selective sorbent based on a nanochannel membrane prepared by the anodization of a Ti-Cu alloy. The in situ growth of a metal-organic framework (MOF, herein using Cu-based HKUST-1) in the nanochannels enables the resulting MOF-in-nanochannel membrane to act as a nanofilter. Benefitting from the size-exclusion effect of MOFs and the distinct surface characteristics of each component in the HKUST-1/TiO2 nanochannels, the as-proposed membranes can be simply operated as a filter and exhibit satisfactory selectivities and enrichment capacities in the separation of aromatic amino acids, histidine-rich proteins, and phosphoproteins. More importantly, the adsorbed multitargets can be further controllably released from the membrane in a sequence via a staged recovery process. The use of this system is envisioned to provide an innovative and potential design for efficient sorption media for the selective enrichment and staged separation of specific biomolecules.

Abstract
The cyclization reactions of propargylic alcohols and propargylic amines with CO2 are important in industrial applications, but it was a great challenge that non-noble-metal catalysts catalyzed both reactions under mild conditions. Herein, the catalyst Cu2 O@ZIF-8 was prepared by encapsulating Cu2 O nanoparticles into robust ZIF-8, and it can effectively catalyze the cyclization of both propargylic alcohols and propargylic amines with CO2 into valuable α-alkylidene cyclic carbonates and oxazolidinones with turnover numbers (TONs) of 12.1 and 19.6, which can be recycled at least five times. The mechanisms were further uncovered by NMR, FTIR, 13 C isotope-labeling experiments and DFT calculations, in which Cu2 O and DBU can synergistically activate the C≡C bond and the hydroxy/amino group of substrates. Importantly, it is the first example of a noble-metal-free catalyst that can catalyze both propargylic alcohols and propargylic amines with CO2 simultaneously.

Abstract
Increase in the global energy demand has been leading to major energy crises in recent years. The use of excess fossil fuels for energy production is causing severe global warming, as well as energy shortage. To overcome the global energy crisis, the design of various chemical structures as efficient models for the generation of renewable energy fuels is very much crucial, and will limit the use of fossil fuels. Current challenges involve the design of Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials for this purpose to diminish the energy shortage. The large surface area, tunable pore environment, unique structural property and semiconducting nature of the highly porous MOF materials enhance their potential applications towards the production of enhanced energy fuels. This review is focused on the architecture of MOFs and their composites for fuels and essential chemicals production like hydrogen, methane, ethanol, methanol, acetic acid, and carbon monoxide, which can be used as renewable fuel energy sources to limit the use of fossil fuels, thereby reducing global warming.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be utilized as electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) due to their well dispersed metal centers. However, the influence of metal node distribution on electrochemical CO2RR was rarely explored. Here, three Cu-MOFs with different copper(II) site distribution were employed for CO2 electroreduction. The Cu-MOFs [Cu(L)SO4]·H2O (Cu1), [Cu(L)2(H2O)2](CH3COO)2·H2O (Cu2), and [Cu(L)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (Cu3) were achieved by using the same ligand 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (L) but different Cu(II) salts. The results show that the Faraday efficiency of CO (FECO) for Cu1 is 4 times that of the FEH2, while the FECO of Cu2 is twice that of the FEH2. As for Cu3, there is not much difference between FECO and FEH2. Such difference may arise from the distinct electrochemical active surface area and charge transfer kinetics caused by different copper site distribution. Furthermore, the different framework structures also affect the activity of the copper sites, which was supported by the theoretically calculated Gibbs free energy and electron density, contributing to the selectivity of CO2RR. This study provides a strategy for modulating the selectivity of CO2RR by tuning the distribution of the active centers in MOFs.

Abstract
The electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) on titanium introduces significant surface reconstruction and forms titanium hydride (TiHx, 0 < x ≤ 2). With ex situ grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we demonstrated near-surface TiH2 enrichment with increasing NO3RR applied potential and duration. This quantitative relationship facilitated electrochemical treatment of Ti to form TiH2/Ti electrodes for use in NO3RR, thereby decoupling hydride formation from NO3RR performance. A wide range of NO3RR activity and selectivity on TiH2/Ti electrodes between -0.4 and -1.0 VRHE was observed and analyzed with density functional theory (DFT) calculations on TiH2(111). This work underscores the importance of relating NO3RR performance with near-surface electrode structure to advance catalyst design and operation.

Abstract
Purposefully developing crystalline materials at molecular level to improve the selectivity of electroreduction CO2 to CH4 is still rarely studied. Herein, a single crystal of copper(II) complex with hydroxy groups was designed and synthesized, namely 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)porphyrin copper(II) (Cu-PorOH), which could serve as a highly efficient heterogeneous electrocatalyst for electroreduction of CO2 toward CH4 . In 0.5 m KHCO3 , Cu-PorOH gave a high faradaic efficiency of 51.3 % for CH4 and drove a partial current density of 23.2 mA cm-2 at -1.5 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode in H-cell. The high performance was greatly promoted by the hydroxy groups in Cu-PorOH, which could not only form stable three-dimensional frameworks through hydrogen-bonding interactions but also stabilize the intermediate species by hydrogen bonds, as supported by density functional theory calculations. This work provides an effective avenue in exploring crystalline catalysts for CO2 reduction at molecular level.

Abstract
A Ce/Ti-based bimetallic 2-aminoterephthalate metal-organic framework (MOF) was synthesized and evaluated for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 in comparison with an isoreticular pristine monometallic Ce-terephthalate MOF. Owing to highly selective CO2 adsorption capability, optimized band gaps, higher flux of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and a lower rate of recombination, this material exhibited better photocatalytic reduction of CO2 and lower hydrogen evolution compared to Ce-terephthalate. Thorough probing of the surface and electronic structure inferred that the reducibility of Ce4+ to Ce3+ was due to the introduction of an amine functional group into the linker, and low-lying Ti(3d) orbitals in Ce/Ti-2-aminoterephthalate facilitated the photoreduction reaction. Both the MOFs were calcined to their respective oxides of Ce1-xTixO2 and CeO2, and the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 was performed over the oxidic materials. In contrast to the photocatalytic reaction mechanism, the lattice substitution of Ti in the CeO2 fluorite cubic structure showed a better hydrogen evolution reaction and consequently, poorer electroreduction of CO2 compared to pristine CeO2. Density functional theory calculations of the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction on the MOF and the oxide surfaces corroborated the experimental findings.
