Abstract
Transition metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been regarded as possible alternatives to platinum-based materials due to their satisfactory performance of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). By contrast, main-group metal elements are rarely studied due to their unfavorable surface and electronic states. Herein, a main-group Sn-based SAC with penta-coordinated and asymmetric first-shell ligands is reported as an efficient and robust ORR catalyst. The introduction of the vertical oxygen atom breaks the symmetric charge balance, modulating the binding strength to oxygen intermediates and decreasing the energy barrier for the ORR process. As expected, the prepared Sn SAC exhibits outstanding ORR activity with a high half-wave potential of 0.912 V (vs RHE) and an excellent mass activity of 13.1 A mgSn-1 at 0.850 V (vs RHE), which surpasses that of commercial Pt/C and most reported transition-metal-based SACs. Additionally, the reported Sn SAC shows excellent ORR stability due to the strong interaction between Sn sites and the carbon support with oxygen atom as the bridge. The excellent ORR performance of Sn SAC was also proven by both liquid- and solid-state zinc-air battery (ZAB) measurements, indicating its great potential in practical applications.

A Versatile Nanozyme-Based NADH Circulating Oxidation Reactor for Tumor Therapy through Triple Cellular Metabolism Disruption. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2311027. [PMID: 38263719 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202311027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
Nanozyme-based metabolic regulation triggered by tumor-specific endogenous stimuli has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for tumors. The current efficacy, however, is constrained by the limited concentration of endogenous substrates and the metabolic plasticity of tumors. Consequently, the implementation of efficient metabolic regulation in tumor therapy is urgently needed. Herein, a versatile nanozyme-based nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) circulating oxidation nanoreactor is reported. First, the synthesized cobalt-doped hollow carbon spheres (Co-HCS) possess NADH oxidase (NOX)-mimicking activity for the NADH oxidation to disrupt oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway of tumor cells. Second, the substrate-cycle manner of Co-HCS can be used for NADH circulating oxidation to overcome the limitation of substrate deficiency. Finally, 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN) are introduced to block glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), thus creating a versatile nanozyme-based NADH circulating oxidation nanoreactor (Co-HCS/D/A) for tumor therapy through triple cellular metabolism disruption. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the designed nanoreactor not only enhances the catalytic efficiency but also disrupts the tumor metabolic homeostasis, leading to efficient therapy outcome. This study develops a novel NADH circulating oxidation nanoreactor for tumor therapy through triple cellular metabolism disruption, which addresses the limitations of current nanozyme-based metabolism regulation for tumor therapy.

Abstract
The controlled synthesis of mesoporous metal oxides remains a great challenge because the uncontrolled assembly process and high-temperature crystallization can easily destroy the mesostructure. Herein, we develop a facile, versatile, low-cost, and controllable molten salt assisted assembly strategy to synthesize mesoporous metal oxides (e.g., CeO2, ZrO2, SnO2, Li2TiO3) with high surface area (115-155 m2/g) and uniform mesopore size (3.0 nm). We find this molten salt mediated assembly enables the desolvation of the precursors and forms bare metal ions, enhances their coordination interaction with the surfactant, and promotes their assembly into a mesostructure. Furthermore, the molten salt assisted crystallization process can lower the collision probability of the target metal atom, inhibit its further growth into large crystals, and achieve a well-maintained mesostructure with high crystallization. Furthermore, this method can be expanded to synthesize various structured mesoporous metal oxides, including hollow spheres, nanotubes, and nanosheets by introducing the carbon template. The obtained mesoporous CeO2 microspheres loaded with Cu species exhibit excellent antibacterial performance and superior catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitrophenol with high conversion and cycling stability.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) rely on the development of high-performance bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts to facilitate efficient oxygen reduction/evolution reactions (ORR/OER). Single-atom catalysts (SACs), characterized by their precisely defined active sites, have great potential for applications in ZABs. However, the design and architecture of atomic site electrocatalysts with both high activity and durability present significant challenges, owing to their spatial confinement and electronic states. In this study, a strategy is proposed to fabricate structurally uniform dual single-atom electrocatalyst (denoted as P-FeCo/NC) consisting of P-bridging Fe and Co bimetal atom (i.e., Fe-P-Co) decorated on N, P-co-doped carbon framework as an efficient and durable bifunctional electrocatalyst for ZABs. Experimental investigations and theoretical calculations reveal that the Fe-P-Co bridge-coupling structure enables a facile adsorption/desorption of oxygen intermediates and low activation barrier. The resultant P-FeCo/NC exhibits ultralow overpotential of 340 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for OER and high half-wave potential of 0.95 V for ORR. In addition, the application of P-FeCo/NC in rechargeable ZABs demonstrates enhanced performance with maximum power density of 115 mW cm-2 and long cyclic stability, which surpass Pt/C and RuO2 catalysts. This study provides valuable insights into the design and mechanism of atomically dispersed catalysts for energy conversion applications.

Non-Interacting Ni and Fe Dual-Atom Pair Sites in N-Doped Carbon Catalysts for Efficient Concentrating Solar-Driven Photothermal CO 2 Reduction. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202313868. [PMID: 37899658 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023]
Abstract
Solar-to-chemical energy conversion under weak solar irradiation is generally difficult to meet the heat demand of CO2 reduction. Herein, a new concentrated solar-driven photothermal system coupling a dual-metal single-atom catalyst (DSAC) with adjacent Ni-N4 and Fe-N4 pair sites is designed for boosting gas-solid CO2 reduction with H2 O under simulated solar irradiation, even under ambient sunlight. As expected, the (Ni, Fe)-N-C DSAC exhibits a superior photothermal catalytic performance for CO2 reduction to CO (86.16 μmol g-1 h-1 ), CH4 (135.35 μmol g-1 h-1 ) and CH3 OH (59.81 μmol g-1 h-1 ), which are equivalent to 1.70-fold, 1.27-fold and 1.23-fold higher than those of the Fe-N-C catalyst, respectively. Based on theoretical simulations, the Fermi level and d-band center of Fe atom is efficiently regulated in non-interacting Ni and Fe dual-atom pair sites with electronic interaction through electron orbital hybridization on (Ni, Fe)-N-C DSAC. Crucially, the distance between adjacent Ni and Fe atoms of the Ni-N-N-Fe configuration means that the additional Ni atom as a new active site contributes to the main *COOH and *HCO3 dissociation to optimize the corresponding energy barriers in the reaction process, leading to specific dual reaction pathways (COOH and HCO3 pathways) for solar-driven photothermal CO2 reduction to initial CO production.

Abstract
Herein, a doxorubicin-loaded carbon-based drug delivery system, denoted as PC-DOX, composed of pH-responsive imine bond was developed for the tumor-targeted treatment. PC-DOX with a uniform particle size around 180 nm was synthesized by coating of as-synthesized hollow carbon-based nanoparticles (NPs) with dialdehyde PEG, which was used as carrier to attach DOX covalently through dynamic covalent bond. The unique structure endowed the advantages of specific tumor targeting and tumor microenvironment (TME) specific drug delivery capacity with PC-DOX. For the one hand, the tumor targeting caused by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect could significantly improve the tumor cellular uptake. For the other hand, the pH-responsiveness could realize the effective DOX accumulation in tumor tissues, avoiding the unwanted side effect to the normal tissues. As a result, PC-DOX with high DOX loading capacity (70.12%) and excellent biocompatibility, concurrently, presented a significant anti-tumor effect at a low mass concentration (DOX equivalent dose: 20 μg/mL). Another attractive characteristic of PC-DOX was the remarkable protective effect towards DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, which could be clearly observed from in vitro cellular, and animal assays. Compared with free DOX, the cardiomyocyte viability increased by average 30.58%, and the heart function was also significantly improved. This novel drug delivery nanoplatform provides a new method for the future clinical application of DOX in the cancer's therapeutics.

Abstract
Zn-N-C catalysts have garnered attention as potential electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, their intrinsic limitations, including poor activity and a low density of active sites, continue to hinder their electrocatalytic performance. In this study, we have devised a dual-template strategy for the synthesis of Zn, N, S co-doped nanoporous carbon-based catalysts (Zn-N/S-C(S, Z)) with a substantial specific surface area and a graded pore structure. The introduction of S enhances electron localization around the Zn-Nx active centers, facilitating interactions with oxygen-containing substances. The resulting Zn-N/S-C(S, Z) sample exhibits outstanding performance in an alkaline solution, demonstrating a half-wave potential of 0.89 V. This value surpasses that of commercial Pt/C by 40 mV. Furthermore, when combined with RuO2 (Zn-N/S-C(S, Z) + RuO2), the catalyst demonstrates exceptional performance in a Zn-air battery, offering an open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.47 V and a peak power density of 290.8 mW cm-2. This study paves the way for the development of highly dispersed and highly active Zn-metal site catalysts, potentially replacing traditional Pt-based catalysts in various electrochemical devices.

Abstract
The development of atomically dispersed iron-nitrogen-carbon (Fe─N─C) catalysts as an alternative to precious platinum holds great potential for the substantial progress of a variety of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)-associated energy conversion technologies. Nevertheless, the precise synthesis of Fe─N─C single atomic catalysts (SACs) with a high density of accessible active sites and pronounced electrocatalytic performance still remains an enormous challenge. Herein, an innovative extended Stöber method is designed for the controllable preparation of monodisperse small-sized N-doped carbon colloidal nanospheres (≈40 nm) anchoring atomically isolated Fe─N4 sites (abbreviated as Fe-SA@N-CNSs hereafter) with a narrow size distribution and high uniformity. Benefiting from the single Fe─N4 moieties and the unique spherical carbon substrate, the resultant Fe-SA@N-CNSs exhibit excellent ORR activity, outstanding long-term durability, and methanol tolerance in KOH electrolyte. More impressively, when further assembled into a flexible solid-state rechargeable zinc-air battery (ZAB), the Fe-SA@N-CNSs-driven ZAB delivers a higher open circuit voltage, a larger power density, and robust cycling/mechanical stability, outperforming the state-of-the-art Pt/C-based counterpart and further testifying the great potential of the as-prepared Fe-SA@N-CNSs in diverse ORR-related practical energy devices. The developed extended Stöber method provides an efficient and versatile avenue toward the preparation of a series of well-defined SACs for diverse electrocatalytic systems.

Abstract
Heteroatom-doped nanoporous carbon materials with unique hierarchical structures have been shown to be promising supports and catalysts for energy conversion; however, hard-template methods are limited by their inflexibility and time-consuming process. Soft-template methods have been suggested as an alternative, but they are limited by their picky requirements for stable reactions and the few known precursors for small-batch synthesis. In this study, a gram-scale soft-template-based silica-assisted method was investigated for producing nitrogen-doped hollow nanoporous carbon spheres (N-HNCS). Nitrogen doping is accomplished during preparation with enhanced electrocatalytic activity without complicating the methodology. To investigate the effect of the unique structural characteristics of N-HNCS (specific surface area: 1250 m2 g-1; pore volume: 1.2 cm3 g-1), cobalt was introduced as an active center for the oxygen reduction reaction. Finely tuned reaction conditions resulted in well-dispersed cobalt particles with minimal agglomeration. This sheds light on the advancement of new experimental procedures for developing more active and promising non-noble catalysts in large and stable batches.

Abstract
As a novel energy device, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have attracted much attention for their dual functions of electricity generation and sewage treatment. However, the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetic on the cathode have hindered the practical application of MFCs. In this work, metallic organic framework derived carbon framework co-doped by Fe, S, N tri-elements was used as alternative electrocatalyst to the conventional Pt/C cathode catalyst in pH-universal electrolytes. The amount of thiosemicarbazide from 0.3 to 3 g determined the surface chemical property, and therefore the ORR activity of FeSNC catalysts. The sulfur/nitrogen doping and Fe/Fe3C embedded in carbon shell was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The synergy of iron salt and thiosemicarbazide contributed to the improvement of nitrogen and sulfur doping. Sulfur atoms were successfully doped into the carbon matrix and formed a certain amount of thiophene- and oxidized-sulfur. The optimal FeSNC-3 catalyst synthesized with 1.5 g of thiosemicarbazide exhibited the highest ORR activity with a positive half wave potential of 0.866 V in alkaline and 0.691 V (vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode) in neutral electrolyte, which both outperformed the commercial Pt/C catalyst. However, as the amount of thiosemicarbazide surpassed 1.5 g, the catalytic performance of FeSNC-4 was lowered, and this could be assigned to the decreased defects and low specific surface area. The excellent ORR performance in neutral medium urged FeSNC-3 as good cathode catalyst in single chambered MFC (SCMFC). It showed the highest maximum power density of 2126 ± 100 mW m-2, excellent output stability of 8.14% decline in 550 h, chemical oxygen demand removal of 90.7 ± 1.6% and coulombic efficiency of 12.5 ± 1.1%, all superior to those of benchmark SCMFC-Pt/C (1637 ± 35 mW m-2, 15.4%, 88.9 ± 0.9%, and 10.2 ± 1.1%). These outstanding results were associated to the large specific surface area and synergistic interaction of multiple active sites, like Fe/Fe3C, Fe-N4, pyridinic N, graphite N and thiophene-S.

Abstract
The most promising energy storage devices are lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), which offer a high theoretical energy density that is five times greater than that of lithium-ion batteries. However, there are still significant barriers to the commercialization of LSBs, and mesoporous carbon-based materials (MCBMs) have attracted much attention in solving LSBs' problems, due to their large specific surface area (SSA), high electrical conductivity, and other unique advantages. The synthesis of MCBMs and their applications in the anodes, cathodes, separators, and "two-in-one" hosts of LSBs are reviewed in this study. Most interestingly, we establish a systematic correlation between the structural characteristics of MCBMs and their electrochemical properties, offering recommendations for improving performance by altering the characteristics. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of LSBs under current policies are also clarified. This review provides ideas for the design of cathodes, anodes, and separators for LSBs, which could have a positive impact on the performance enhancement and commercialization of LSBs. The commercialization of high energy density secondary batteries is of great importance for the achievement of carbon neutrality and to meet the world's expanding energy demand.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-induced nanocatalytic therapy is a trending strategy for tumor-targeting therapy, but the low catalytic efficiency remains to limit its therapeutic effect. The single-atom catalysts (SACs) appear as a novel type of nanozymes that possesses incredible catalytic activity. Here, we developed PEGylated manganese/iron-based SACs (Mn/Fe PSACs) by coordinating single-atom Mn/Fe to nitrogen atoms in hollow zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). Mn/Fe PSACs catalyze cellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) converting to hydroxyl radical (•OH) through a Fenton-like reaction; it also enhances the decomposition of H2O2 to O2 that continuously converts to cytotoxic superoxide ion (•O2-) via oxidase-like activity. Mn/Fe PSACs can reduce the depletion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by consuming glutathione (GSH). Here, we demonstrated the Mn/Fe PSACs-mediated synergistic antitumor efficacy among in vitro and in vivo experiments. This study proposes new promising single-atom nanozymes with highly efficient biocatalytic sites and synergistic therapeutic effects, which will give birth to abundant inspirations in ROS-related biological applications in broad biomedical fields.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2023; 120:e2218261120.

Abstract
The ability to construct metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) asymmetrically coordinated with organic heteroatoms represents an important endeavor toward developing high-performance catalysts over symmetrically coordinated counterparts. Moreover, it is of key importance in creating supporting matrix with porous architecture for situating SACs as it greatly impacts the mass diffusion and transport of electrolyte. Herein, we report the crafting of Fe single atoms with asymmetrically coordinated nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) atoms scaffolded by rationally designed mesoporous carbon nanospheres (MCNs) with spoke-like nanochannels for boosting ring-opening reaction of epoxide to produce an array of pharmacologically important β-amino alcohols. Notably, interfacial defects in MCN derived from the use of sacrificial template create abundant unpaired electrons, thereby stably anchoring N and P atoms and in turn Fe atoms on MCN. Importantly, the introduction of P atom promotes the symmetry-breaking of common four N-coordinated Fe sites, resulting in the Fe-N3P sites on MCN (denoted Fe-N3P-MCN) with an asymmetric electronic configuration and thus superior catalytic capability. As such, the Fe-N3P-MCN catalysts manifest a high catalytic activity for ring-opening reaction of epoxide (97% yield) over the Fe-N3P docked on nonporous carbon surface (91%) as well as the sole Fe-N4 SACs grounded on the same MCN support (89%). Density functional theory calculations reveal that Fe-N3P SAC lowers the activation barrier for the C-O bond cleavage and the C-N bond formation, thus accelerating the ring-opening of epoxide. Our study provides fundamental and practical insights into developing advanced catalysts in a simple and controllable manner for multistep organic reactions.

Abstract
In view of the critical importance of oxygen to corrosion evolution, to starve corrosion via depleting oxygen in coatings is a promising strategy. In this work, a novel nanocatalytic anticorrosion concept is proposed to design new coating with outstanding corrosion resistance. Different from the passive barrier of traditional coatings and self-repair after corrosion of current stimuli-feedback coatings, such coating could spontaneously eliminate internal diffused oxygen and greatly suppress the corrosion process. As a proof of concept, single-atom Fe-N-C electrocatalyst with isolated FeN4 active sites is synthesized by a simple confined carbonization method, exhibiting excellent oxygen reduction performance (E1/2 = 0.902 V). In composite coating, the evenly dispersed Fe-N-C compensates for the coating defects and serves as oxygen scavengers, which could actively adsorb and consume ambient oxygen, thereby preventing oxygen penetration to the metal substrate surface, eliminating the oxygen contribution to corrosion and significantly boosting the anticorrosion performance of epoxy coating. This in-situ mediation for oxygen in coating prevents metal substrate from receiving new supply of oxygen, while imparting active anticorrosion property to the coating.

Abstract
Platinum group metal (PGM)-free M-N-C catalysts have exhibited dramatic electrocatalytic performance and are considered the most promising candidate of the Pt catalysts in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, the electrocatalytic performance of the M-N-C catalysts is still limited by their inferior intrinsic activity and finite active site density. Regulating the coordination environment and increasing the pore structure of the catalyst is an effective strategy to enhance the electrocatalytic performance of the M-N-C catalysts. In this work, the coordination environment and pore structure exquisitely regulated Fe-N-C catalyst exhibit excellent ORR activity and durability. With the enhanced intrinsic activity and increased active site density, the optimized Fe-N/S-C catalyst shows impressive ORR activity (E1/2 = 0.904 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) and superior long-term durability in an alkaline medium. As the advanced physical characterization and theoretical chemistry methods illustrate, the S-modified Fe-Nx (Fe-N3 /S-C) moiety is confirmed as the improved active center for ORR, and the increased active site density further improved ORR efficiency. Based on the Fe-N/S-C cathode, a Zn-air battery is fabricated and shows superior power density (315.4 mW cm-2 ) and long-term discharge stability at 20 mA cm-2 . This work would open a new perspective to design atomically dispersed iron-metal site catalysts for advanced electro-catalysis.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation of alkynes to obtain alkenes is a key reaction in petrochemical and fine chemical industries. However, the development of stable and highly selective catalysts with uniformly dispersed active sites is still immensely challenging for the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes. In this study, N-doped porous carbon nanospheres (NPCNs) were synthesized by the nanoemulsion self-assembly and subsequently carbonization method. Ultrafine PdCu bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) were uniformly dispersed and immobilized on NPCNs. The obtained PdCu/NPCNs catalyst exhibited an open framework and abundant active sites originating from ultrafine PdCu NPs. In the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes, the PdCu/NPCNs catalyst exhibited a remarkable performance and stability, outperforming most of the classical catalysts. The excellent performance was related to the introduction of a secondary metal Cu, which can regulate the electronic state of Pd active sites to further enhance the hydrogenation activity and selectivity. Hence, the facile approach reported herein may be useful for constructing highly dispersed bimetallic NP-based catalysts for selective hydrogenation of alkynes in the petrochemical industry.

Abstract
Chloramphenicol (CAP) has long been used extensively in agriculture and is severely toxic to the biological environment. Microwave catalysis appears a promising method for soil remediation due to its fast and effective heat transfer, but it is challenging to prepare catalysts with good electromagnetic wave absorption and robust catalytic activity. In this study, atomically dispersed Fe on three-dimensional N-doped carbon supports (3D Fe-NC) is firstly used for microwave remediation of soil. Thanks to the synergistic effect of microwave "hot spots" and reactive oxygen species (•OH, •O2 - ), 3D Fe-NC can completely remove 99.9% of CAP in 5 min. The removal rate constant is nearly twice that of commercial activated carbon. Significantly, the germination rate of lettuce seeds in microwave-repaired soil contaminated by CAP reaches 70%. This work demonstrates the application of Fe single-atom catalyst in microwave remediation of contaminated soil, providing a novel insight for agricultural soil remediation.

Linking Enhanced Kinetics of Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction Reaction with Increased Utilization of Active Sites in a Hierarchical Single-Atom Catalyst. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2205743.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are of tremendous current research due to maximized use of metal atoms and enhanced activity and selectivity for a great variety of chemical reactions. Hierarchically structured SACs have been explored to further increase the number and accessibility of active sites to realize the full potentials of SACs. However, though plausible-sounding, these supposed advantages of hierarchically structured SACs are largely untested. The assumed enhancing effects on the formation of intermediates on and the overall reaction kinetics remain largely unknown. Herein is reported a Fe-SAC with a hierarchical hollow structure (Fe/HH) that showed excellent activity in oxygen reduction reaction and proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Comparative experimental and computational studies with respect to Fe/SS-the counterpart of Fe/HH with a compact primary structure-reveal a significantly increased number of active sites and their utilization in Fe/HH as reflected by the facilitated formation of the rate-determining-step intermediate Fe-OOH*. This work thus establishes unambiguously the connection between the increased utilization of active sites and the enhanced kinetics of the electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen.

Abstract
Developing high-performance and low-cost electrocatalysts is key to achieve the clean-energy target. Herein, a dual regulation method is proposed to prepare a 3D honeycomb-like carbon-based catalyst with stable Fe/Co co-dopants. Fe atoms are highly dispersed and fixed to the polymer microsphere, followed by a high-temperature decomposition, for the generation of carbon-based catalyst with a honeycomb-like structure. The as-prepared catalyst contains a large number of Fe/Co nanoparticles (Fe/Co NPs), providing the excellent catalytic activity and durability in oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction. The Zn-air battery assembled by the as-prepared catalyst as air cathode shows a good charge and discharge capacity, and it exhibits an ultra-long service life by maintaining a stable charge and discharge platform for a 311-h cycle. Further X-ray absorption fine structure characterization and density functional theory calculation confirms that the Fe doping optimizes the intermediate adsorption process and electron transfer of Co.

Abstract
Removing the blocked molecular groups and fully exposing the intrinsic active sites of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could give full play to their advantages of multi-active sites and multi-channel mass transfer, which will benefit the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. Here, the partial diligandation-activated ZIF-67 (named as ZIF-67–400) with excellent ORR performance was obtained by simple low-temperature pyrolysis. The ORR electrocatalytic activity exhibits a half-wave potential of 0.82 V and the stability of maintaining 96% activity after 10 h of operation, which is comparable to commercial Pt/C. Further research studies reveal that the morphology, special dodecahedron configuration, and crystal structure of ZIF-67-400 are maintained well during the pyrolysis, but some hydrocarbon groups in the ligands are eliminated, resulting in the active sites being exposed and coordinated with the intrinsic porosity, improving the catalytic performance. This work may provide an alternative path for activating the electrocatalytic performance of metal-organic frameworks by low-temperature annealing.

Abstract
Maintaining the high catalytic activity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) while reducing costs is a long-standing effort to promote the application of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Here, the binding of nitrogen-containing ligands and carbon black is enhanced by controlling the pyrolysis conditions of a FeSO4 , 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), carbon black mixture, which significantly improves the ORR catalytic activity of the pyrolysis products. Preheating is proposed as a process improvement method using a heat treatment at a temperature between the melting and boiling points of phen before high-temperature pyrolysis, which achieves an effective combination of phen and carbon black, and enhances the interaction between phen and ferrous ions. This method substantially increases the number of FeNx active centers in the pyrolysis product, resulting in an impressive Fe-N/C catalyst with half-wave potential (E1/2 ) up to 0.93 V and a diffusion-limited current density (jL ) of 5.9 mA cm-2 and no obvious decay after 20 000 cyclic voltammetry cycles in 0.1 m KOH, which are all among the best-reported data known to date. The interaction between the ratio of Fe/phen and the pyrolysis conditions is also investigated. Under the right conditions, cheap raw materials can also generate highly catalytically active sites.

Abstract
Block-copolymer-derived ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) materials have great potential in many applications, such as adsorption, catalysis, and energy conversions; however, their formation process and the kinetic mechanism remain unclear. Herein, a N-doped OMC (N-OMC) with sp2-bonded C atoms is developed via self-assembly of the polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinyl pyridine) block copolymer. By correlating the external morphologies with the internal chemical states, the formation process can be concluded as follows: (1) pore evolution via polystyrene domain degradation and (2) regularization and graphitization of the residual carbon via the removal of sp3 C atoms. In addition, the thickness of the N-OMC shows a power function relationship with the spin-coating rate, and the N content can be incredibly increased up to 26.34 at. % in an NH3 carbonization atmosphere. With the as-prepared N-OMC as the support for loading of the pseudo-atomic-scale Pt (Pt/N-OMC), a high electrochemical active surface area value of 99.64 m2·g-1 and a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.850 VRHE are achieved, showing great potential in developing single-atom electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The design and preparation of novel, high-efficiency, and low-cost heterogeneous catalysts are important topics in academic and industry research. In the past, inorganic materials, metal oxide, and carbon materials were used as supports for the development of heterogeneous catalysts due to their excellent properties, such as high specific surface areas and tunable porous structures. However, the properties of traditional pristine carbon materials cannot keep up with the sustained growth and requirements of industry and scientific research, since the introduction of nitrogen atoms into carbon materials may significantly enhance a variety of their physicochemical characteristics, which gradually become appropriate support for synthesizing supported transition metal catalysts. In the past several decades, the transition metal anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts has attracted a tremendous amount of interest as potentially useful catalysts for diverse chemical reactions. Compared with original carbon support, the doping of nitrogen atoms can significantly regulate the physicochemical properties of carbon materials and allow active metal species uniformly dispersed on the support. The various N species in support also play a critical role in accelerating the catalytic performance in some reactions. Besides, the interaction between support and transition metal active sites can offer an anchor site to stabilize metal species during the preparation process and then improve reaction performance, atomic utilization, and stability. In this review, we highlight the recent advances and the remaining challenges in the preparation and application of transition metal anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted tremendous research interest due to their unique atomic structure, maximized atom utilization, and remarkable catalytic performance. Among the SACs, the carbon-supported SACs have been widely investigated due to their easily controlled properties of the carbon substrates, such as the tunable morphologies, ordered porosity, and abundant anchoring sites. The electrochemical performance of carbon-supported SACs is highly related to the morphological structure of carbon substrates (macro-environment) and the local coordination environments of center metals (micro-environment). This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary on the macro/micro-environment regulating carbon-supported SACs for highly efficient hydrogen/oxygen conversion reactions. The authors first summarize the macro-environment engineering strategies of carbon-supported SACs with altered specific surface areas and porous properties of the carbon substrates, facilitating the mass diffusion kinetics and structural stability. Then the micro-environment engineering strategies of carbon-supported SACs are discussed with the regulated atomic structure and electronic structure of metal centers, boosting the catalytic performance. Insights into the correlation between the co-boosted effect from the macro/micro-environments and catalytic activity for hydrogen/oxygen conversion reactions are summarized and discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are addressed in building highly efficient carbon-supported SACs for practical applications.

Abstract
A core-shell TS-1@Co-N-C was prepared by thermally pyrolyzing polydopamine and cobalt acetate outside TS-1 crystals. The Co-N-C shell catalyzes the electrochemical oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), while the TS-1 core catalyzes the oxidation of organic reagents. It achieved a H2O2 selectivity higher than 95% without organics, and accomplished an excellent bisphenol selectivity of 99.45% when coupled with phenol oxidation. Moreover, paired oxidation of furfural at both cathodic and anodic sides further led to an overall Faradaic efficiency of 141.09%. This bifunctional catalyst helps to integrate the in situ generation and usage of H2O2 into a single electrode, thus reduces the equipment and operating costs.

Abstract
PGM-free (platinum group metal) electrocatalysts are intensively investigated and used as low-cost catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the field of fuel cells, but further studying their performance improvement methods and actual reaction mechanism is still a big a challenge. In this work, a novel eletrocatalyst containing atomically dispersed Mn/Fe single atoms (SAs) and Fe nanoparticles (NPs) on N-doped carbonaceous (nanosheet/nanotube hybrids) is fabricated via a simple pyrolysis method. This high-activity ORR electrocatalyst has higher half-wave potential (E1/2 = 0.91 V) and superior long-term durability in alkaline solutions and outperforms Pt/C catalysts, which can be ascribed to the synergetic interaction between Mn/Fe SAs and Fe-NPs. FeNPs/MnFeSAs-NC-25 has stronger reactant adsorption ability and a lower dissociation energy barrier than FeNPs/FeSAs-NC, which is conducive to breaking the O-O bond and accelerating ORR kinetics. This work presents a method to synthesize carbon-based electrocatalysts with high ORR activity and stability and shows that a variety of active sites encapsulated in N-doped carbonaceous materials can be a class of competitive candidates for PGM-free electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Uranium extraction from seawater is particularly significant and regarded as an indispensable strategy for satisfying the increasing demand for nuclear fuel owing to the high uranium reserves (about 4.5 billion tons) in seawater, while remains great challenges due to the low concentration, the interference of various cations and the complexity of the marine environment. Thus, developing a highly efficient adsorbent with high adsorption capacity, excellent selectivity, low cost, and facile synthesis method is significant and urgently required. Inorganic materials show many advantages in adsorption such as low cost, fast response, high stability, etc, while conventionally, have poor capacity and selectivity especially in real seawater. Herein, mesoporous CaCO3 (mCaCO3) with vaterite phase is synthesized by a facile nanoemulsion strategy and "ready-to-use" for uranium adsorption without functionalization and post treatment. Surfactant Pluronic F127 not only assembles into reverse micelles to form mesopores, but also stabilizes the active vaterite phase. The obtained mCaCO3 with high surface area (48.2 m2/g), interconnected mesopores (11 nm), and unique vaterite phase achieves highly efficient uranium adsorption with a maximum adsorption capacity of 850 ± 20 mg-U/g in uranium-spiked seawater and 6.5 ± 0.5 mg-U/g in 700 L of natural seawater for one week, as well as excellent selectivity, matching the state-of-the-art U adsorbents. After adsorption, mCaCO3-U is dissolved with a simple acid elution to obtain concentrated uranyl solution for purification, avoiding the disposal of adsorbents. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case to report mesoporous CaCO3 for uranium adsorption from seawater with such a good performance. The facile synthesis, abundant raw materials and eco-friendly adsorption-desorption processes endow the mCaCO3 as a promising candidate for large-scale uranium extraction from seawater.

Abstract
Yolk-shell structure with magnetic core, interior void and mesoporous polymer/carbon shell demonstrate potential applications in biocatalysis, magnetic biological separation, biomedicine, and magnetic resonance imaging due to their comprehensive benefits of magnetic and mesoporous shells. Herein, yolk-shell structured magnetic mesoporous polydopamine microspheres (Fe3O4@Void@mPDA) and the corresponding derivatives of carbon-based microspheres (Fe3O4@Void@mCN) are successfully fabricated through an interface assembly and selective etching approach. The obtained monodisperse Fe3O4@Void@mPDA microspheres consist of a magnetic core, a mesoporous polydopamine shell, and the large void formed between them, with perpendicular mesopores (5.2 nm), high surface area (303.3 m2g-1), and richness of functional groups. The Fe3O4@Void@mPDA microspheres show a remarkable inhibitory effect on tumor cells. Moreover, the Fe3O4@Void@mCN microspheres can immobilize ultrafine Au nanoparticles for hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol with superb catalytic activity and excellent magnetic reusability.

Abstract
In this study, three Co/N-C catalysts were prepared by pyrolysis of bimetallic zeolitic imidazole frameworks with different Co/Zn ratio, and the critical active Co species in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation was investigated. The three catalysts had distinct cobalt species but similar N configuration and graphitization degree. The Co species were distributed as single atoms (Co SAs) at a Co/Zn molar ratio of 1:8, while Co nanoclusters (Co NCs) and Co nanoparticles (NPs) would be formed with further increase in Co content. The degradation efficiency of BPA did not show correlation with the increasing of Co content in catalyst. Based on the catalytic performance comparison and reactive species detection, Co SAs was identified as active sites, which could interact with PMS to generate 1O2 via path of PMS→HOO*→O*→1O2. However, the role of NCs and NPs in directly activating PMS was negligible. In addition, the increase of Co content in Co/N-C catalyst would result in mass cobalt leaching, which enhanced the BPA degradation via homogeneous catalytic reactions with CoIV as reactive species. It is an effective way to design the Co/N-C catalyst with high catalytic activity and stability via regulating the formation of Co SAs.

Abstract
Single atom Fe-nitrogen-carbon (Fe-N-C) catalysts have high catalytic activity and selectivity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and are possible alternatives for Pt-based materials. However, the reasonable design and selection of precursors to establish their relationship with Fe-N-C catalyst performance is still a formidable task. Herein, precursors with controllable structures are easily achieved through isomer engineering, with the purpose of regulating the active site density and microscopic morphology of the final electrocatalyst. As-proof-of-concept, phenylenediamine isomers-based polymers are used as precursors to fabricate Fe-N-C catalysts. The Fe-PpPD-800 derived from p-phenylenediamine shows that the best ORR activity with a half-wave potential (E1/2 ) reaches 0.892 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which is better than the counterparts derived from o-phenylenediamine (Fe-PoPD-800) and m-phenylenediamine (Fe-PmPD-800), even surpassing commercial Pt/C (E1/2 = 0.881 V vs RHE). Furthermore, the self-made zinc-air battery based on Fe-PpPD-800 achieves high power density and specific capacity up to 242 mW cm-2 and 873 mA h gZn -1 respectively, a stable open circuit voltage of 1.45 V, and excellent cycling stability. This work not only proves the practicability of adjusting the catalytic activity of single-atom catalysts through isomer engineering, but also provides an approach to understand the relationship between precursors and target catalysts performance.
