Abstract
CuOx/C catalysts have been used in the selective catalytic reduction of NOx because of the exceptional low-temperature denitration (de-NOx) activity. A fundamental understanding of the reaction between CuO and C is critical for controlling the component of CuOx/C and thus optimizing the catalytic performance. In this study, a transmission electron microscope equipped with an in situ heating device was utilized to investigate the atomic-scale reaction between CuO and C. We report two reaction mechanisms relying on the volume ratio between C and CuO: (1) The reduction from CuO to Cu2O (when the ratio is < ∼31%); (2) the reduction of CuO into polycrystalline Cu (when the ratio is > ∼34%). The atomistic reduction pathway can be well interpreted by considering the diffusion of O vacancy through the first-principle calculations. The atomic-scale exploration of CuO/C offers ample prospects for the design of industrial de-NOx catalysts in the future.

Correlating the Valence State with the Adsorption Behavior of a Cu-Based Electrocatalyst for Furfural Oxidation with Anodic Hydrogen Production Reaction.

Abstract
The low-potential furfural oxidation reaction (FFOR) on a Cu-based electrocatalyst can produce H2 at the anode, thereby providing a bipolar H2 production system with an ultralow cell voltage. However, the intrinsic activity and stability of the Cu-based electrocatalyst for the FFOR remain unsatisfactory for practical applications. This study investigates the correlation between the valence state and the adsorption behavior of the Cu-based electrocatalyst in furfural oxidation. Cu0 is the adsorption site with low intrinsic activity. Cu+ , which exists in the form of Cu(OH)ads in alkaline electrolytes, has no adsorption ability but can improve the performance of Cu0 by promoting the adsorption of FF. Moreover, a mixed-valence Cu-based electrocatalyst (MV Cu) with high intrinsic activity and stability is prepared electrochemically. With the MV Cu catalyst, the assembled dual-side H2 production electrolyzer has a low electricity requirement of only 0.24 kWh mH2 -3 at an ultralow cell voltage of 0.3 V, and it exhibits sufficient stability. This study not only correlates the valence state with the adsorption behavior of the Cu-based electrocatalyst for the low-potential FFOR with anodic H2 production but also reveals the mechanism of deactivation to provide design principles for Cu-based electrocatalysts with satisfactory stability.

Abstract
A copper-zirconia composite having an evenly distributed lamellar texture, Cu#ZrO2, was synthesized by promoting nanophase separation of the Cu51Zr14 alloy precursor in a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2). High-resolution electron microscopy revealed that the material consists of interchangeable Cu and t-ZrO2 phases with an average thickness of 5 nm. Cu#ZrO2 exhibited enhanced selectivity toward the generation of formic acid (HCOOH) by electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) in aqueous media at a Faradaic efficiency of 83.5% at -0.9 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. In situ Raman spectroscopy has revealed that a bifunctional interplay between the Zr4+ sites and the Cu boundary leads to amended reaction selectivity along with a large number of catalytic sites.

Abstract
To realize the evolution of C2+ hydrocarbons like C2H4 from CO2 reduction in photocatalytic systems remains a great challenge, owing to the gap between the relatively lower efficiency of multielectron transfer in photocatalysis and the sluggish kinetics of C-C coupling. Herein, with Cu-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as a precursor, a hybrid photocatalyst (CuOX@p-ZnO) with CuOX uniformly dispersed among polycrystalline ZnO was synthesized. Upon illumination, the catalyst exhibited the ability to reduce CO2 to C2H4 with a 32.9% selectivity, and the evolution rate was 2.7 μmol·g-1·h-1 with water as a hole scavenger and as high as 22.3 μmol·g-1·h-1 in the presence of triethylamine as a sacrificial agent, all of which have rarely been achieved in photocatalytic systems. The X-ray absorption fine structure spectra coupled with in situ FT-IR studies reveal that, in the original catalyst, Cu mainly existed in the form of CuO, while a unique Cu+ surface layer upon the CuO matrix was formed during the photocatalytic reaction, and this surface Cu+ site is the active site to anchor the in situ generated CO and further perform C-C coupling to form C2H4. The C-C coupling intermediate *OC-COH was experimentally identified by in situ FT-IR studies for the first time during photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Moreover, theoretical calculations further showed the critical role of such Cu+ sites in strengthening the binding of *CO and stabilizing the C-C coupling intermediate. This work uncovers a new paradigm to achieve the reduction of CO2 to C2+ hydrocarbons in a photocatalytic system.

Abstract
Semiconductors' band gap alignment is important for the photoreduction of CO2 to methane. In the paper, two kinds of Cu2O-decorated CuO microspheres composed with nanoflakes were prepared by using two different methods. Their electron behaviors were studied from the XPS spectra and photoelectrochemical measurements. Both samples are p-type CuO covered with an amount of Cu2O nanoparticles on their surface. Combined with their bandgaps and flat band potentials, CuO-Mic has a well-matched bandgap alignment between Cu2O and CuO, which is favorable for the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Those photogenerated carriers are beneficial for the conversion of CO2 to CH4, as an 8-electron process for the conversion of CO2 to CH4 will consume more photogenerated electrons for the chemical reactions than that of the 2-electron process for CO2 reduction to CO. Therefore, CuO-Mic has much better photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction to CH4 with a CH4 yield ten times higher than that of CuO-Hyd under a visible light irradiation, the CO yields of the CO2 reduction are identical.

Abstract
Although photoexcitation has been employed to unlock the low-temperature equilibrium regimes of thermal catalysis, mechanism underlining potential interplay between electron excitations and surface chemical processes remains elusive. Here, we report an associative zinc oxide band-gap excitation and copper plasmonic excitation that can cooperatively promote methanol-production at the copper-zinc oxide interfacial perimeter of copper/zinc oxide/alumina (CZA) catalyst. Conversely, selective excitation of individual components only leads to the promotion of carbon monoxide production. Accompanied by the variation in surface copper oxidation state and local electronic structure of zinc, electrons originating from the zinc oxide excitation and copper plasmonic excitation serve to activate surface adsorbates, catalysing key elementary processes (namely formate conversion and hydrogen molecule activation), thus providing one explanation for the observed photothermal activity. These observations give valuable insights into the key elementary processes occurring on the surface of the CZA catalyst under light-heat dual activation.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks have been exploited as excellent solid precursors and templates for the preparation integrated nanocatalysts with multicomponent and hierarchical structures. Herein, a novel synthetic protocol has been developed to fabricate versatile Zr-based solid solutions (such as ZnO-ZrO2, Co3O4-ZrO2, and CuO-ZrO2) via pyrolysis of Schiff base-modified UiO-66 octahedrons (size <100 nm), which were then utilized as efficient catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. The Schiff base serves as an effective bridge to dope secondary metal ions into UiO-66 frameworks with controlled amounts of 0.13-8.8 wt %, which are initially hard to achieve. Interestingly, by simply changing the loading metal ions, the selectivity of C1 hydrogenation products can be facilely tuned. For instance, the maximum CO2 conversion of ZnO-ZrO2, Co3O4-ZrO2, and CuO-ZrO2 solid solutions were 5.8, 11.4, and 22.5%, with the main product selectivity of 70% CH3OH, 92.5% CH4, and 86.7% CO, respectively. Moreover, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra characterization reveals that the significant difference in C1 product selectivity is mainly determined by the balance of *HCOO, *CH3O, and *CO intermediate species over the Zr-based solid solutions.

Abstract
CO2 hydrogenation to hydrocarbons is a promising way of making waste to wealth and energy storage, which also solves the environmental and energy issues caused by CO2 emissions. Much efforts and research are aimed at the conversion of CO2 via hydrogenation to various value-added hydrocarbons, such as CH4, lower olefins, gasoline, or long-chain hydrocarbons catalyzed by different catalysts with various mechanisms. This review provides an overview of advances in CO2 hydrogenation to hydrocarbons that have been achieved recently in terms of catalyst design, catalytic performance and reaction mechanism from both experiments and density functional theory calculations. In addition, the factors influencing the performance of catalysts and the first C-C coupling mechanism through different routes are also revealed. The fundamental factor for product selectivity is the surface H/C ratio adjusted by active metals, supports and promoters. Furthermore, the technical and application challenges of CO2 conversion into useful fuels/chemicals are also summarized. To meet these challenges, future research directions are proposed in this review.

Abstract
Recently, pharmaceutically active compounds including antibiotics have been detected in drinking water at very low levels, mostly nanogram/liter concentrations, proposing that these materials were unaffected by water treatment processes. Adsorption processes were suggested to play a significant role in the removal of antibiotics. In this study, the adsorption behavior of doxycycline (DC) in aqueous solution was evaluated. The four factors influencing the adsorption of DC onto graphene nanosheet (GNS) were studied. The results showed that initial pH ∼ 6 to 7 and contact time ∼ 200 min are optimum. The monolayer adsorption capacity was reduced with the increasing temperature from 25 to 45 °C. Nonlinear regressions were carried out to define the best fit model for every system. Among various models, the Hill isotherm model represented the equilibrium adsorption data of antibiotics while the kinetic data were well fitted by the Elovich kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacity (q max) was 110 mg.g-1, obtained from the Hill equation. Semiempirical molecular orbital theory was used to investigate the molecular interaction of the adsorption system. The experiments and semiempirical computation have systematically demonstrated that DC could be adsorbed onto GNS by π- π and electrostatic interactions. It was shown that there is a good compromise with the experimental results.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are at the leading edge of the emerging field of nanotechnology. Their unique and tunable size-dependent properties (in the range 1-100 nm) make these materials indispensable in many modern technological applications. In this Review, we summarize the state-of-art in the manufacture and applications of inorganic nanoparticles made using continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis (CHFS) processes. First, we introduce ideal requirements of any flow process for nanoceramics production, outline different approaches to CHFS, and introduce the pertinent properties of supercritical water and issues around mixing in flow, to generate nanoparticles. This Review then gives comprehensive coverage of the current application space for CHFS-made nanomaterials including optical, healthcare, electronics (including sensors, information, and communication technologies), catalysis, devices (including energy harvesting/conversion/fuels), and energy storage applications. Thereafter, topics of precursor chemistry and products, as well as materials or structures, are discussed (surface-functionalized hybrids, nanocomposites, nanograined coatings and monoliths, and metal-organic frameworks). Later, this Review focuses on some of the key apparatus innovations in the field, such as in situ flow/rapid heating systems (to investigate kinetics and mechanisms), approaches to high throughput flow syntheses (for nanomaterials discovery), as well as recent developments in scale-up of hydrothermal flow processes. Finally, this Review covers environmental considerations, future directions and capabilities, along with the conclusions and outlook.
