Abstract
Solar energy is an ideal clean and inexhaustible energy source. Solar-driven formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation is one of the promising strategies to address safety and cost issues related to the storage, transport, and distribution of hydrogen energy. For FA dehydrogenation, the O-H and C-H cleavages are the key steps, and developing a photocatalyst with the ability to break these two bonds is critical. In this work, both density functional theory (DFT) calculation and experimental results confirmed the positive synergistic effect between brookite and rutile TiO2 for O-H and C-H cleavage in HCOOH. Further, brookite TiO2 is beneficial to the generation of the •OH radical and significantly promotes C-H cleavage in formate. Under optimized conditions, the H2 production efficiency of FA dehydrogenation can reach up to 30.4 μmol·mg-1·h-1, which is the highest value compared with similar reported TiO2-based systems and over 1.7 times the reported highest value of Au0.75Pd0.25/TiO2 photocatalysts. More importantly, after more than 42 days (>500 h) of irradiation, the system still demonstrated high H2 production activity, indicating the potential for practical application. This work provides a valuable strategy to improve both the efficiency and stability of photocatalytic FA dehydrogenation under mild conditions.

Abstract
An iron-incorporated Zn-MOF catalyst Zn-bpydc·Fe was fabricated for the oxidative cleavage of trans-anethole to p-anisaldehyde under facile conditions, under 1 atm of O2. The Fe coordinated bipyridine serves as the catalytically active center inside the structural skeleton of Zn-MOFs. This work affords a new avenue for the mild oxidation of olefins.

Abstract
Glucose conversion assisted photocatalytic water splitting technology to simultaneously produce H2 and high value-added chemicals is a promising method for alleviating the energy shortage and environmental crisis. In this work, we constructing type II heterojunction by in-situ coupling Zn0.3Cd0.7S quantum dots (ZCS QDs) on three-dimensionally ordered microporous CaTiO3 (3DOM CTO) for photocatalytic H2 production and glucose conversion. The DFT calculations demonstrate that substitution of Zn on the Cd site improves the separation and transmission of photogenerated carriers. Therefore, 3DOM CTO-ZCS composite exhibits best H2 production performance (2.81 mmol g-1h-1) and highest apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) (5.56 %) at 365 nm, which are about 47 and 18 times that of CTO nanoparticles (NPs). The improved catalytic performance ascribed to not only good mass diffusion and exchange, highly efficient light harvesting of 3DOM structure, but also the efficient charges separation of type Ⅱ heterojunction. The investigation on photocatalytic mechanism indicates that the glucose is mainly converted to gluconic acid and lactic acid, and the control reaction step is gluconic acid to lactic acid. The selectivity for gluconic acid on 3DOM CTO-ZCS is 85.65 %. Our work here proposes a green sustainable method to achieve highly efficient H2 production and selective conversion of glucose to gluconic acid.

Abstract
Constructing an efficient photoelectron transfer channel to promote the charge carrier separation is a great challenge for enhancing photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water. In this work, an ultrathin 2D/2D Ti3 C2 Tx /ZnIn2 S4 heterostructure is rationally designed by coupling the ultrathin ZnIn2 S4 with few-layered Ti3 C2 Tx via the electrostatic self-assembly strategy. The 2D/2D Ti3 C2 Tx /ZnIn2 S4 heterostructure possesses larger contact area and strong electronic interaction to promote the charge carrier transfer at the interface, and the sulfur vacancy on the ZnIn2 S4 acting as the electron trap further enhances the separation of the photoinduced electrons and holes. As a consequence, the optimal 2D/2D Ti3 C2 Tx /ZnIn2 S4 composite exhibits a high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 148.4 µmol h-1 , which is 3.6 times and 9.2 times higher than that of ZnIn2 S4 nanosheet and flower-like ZnIn2 S4 , respectively. Moreover, the stability of the ZnIn2 S4 is significantly improved after coupling with the few-layered Ti3 C2 Tx . The characterizations and density functional theory calculation demonstrate that the synergistic effect of the sulfur vacancy and Ti3 C2 Tx cocatalyst can greatly promote the electrons transfer from ZnIn2 S4 to Ti3 C2 Tx and the separation of photogenerated charge carriers, thus enhancing the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water.
