Abstract
Modifying the coordination or local environments of single-, di-, tri-, and multi-metal atom (SMA/DMA/TMA/MMA)-based materials is one of the best strategies for increasing the catalytic activities, selectivity, and long-term durability of these materials. Advanced sheet materials supported by metal atom-based materials have become a critical topic in the fields of renewable energy conversion systems, storage devices, sensors, and biomedicine owing to the maximum atom utilization efficiency, precisely located metal centers, specific electron configurations, unique reactivity, and precise chemical tunability. Several sheet materials offer excellent support for metal atom-based materials and are attractive for applications in energy, sensors, and medical research, such as in oxygen reduction, oxygen production, hydrogen generation, fuel production, selective chemical detection, and enzymatic reactions. The strong metal-metal and metal-carbon with metal-heteroatom (i.e., N, S, P, B, and O) bonds stabilize and optimize the electronic structures of the metal atoms due to strong interfacial interactions, yielding excellent catalytic activities. These materials provide excellent models for understanding the fundamental problems with multistep chemical reactions. This review summarizes the substrate structure-activity relationship of metal atom-based materials with different active sites based on experimental and theoretical data. Additionally, the new synthesis procedures, physicochemical characterizations, and energy and biomedical applications are discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges in developing efficient SMA/DMA/TMA/MMA-based materials are presented.

Abstract
Ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles dispersed on carbon support are promising electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to strong electronic metal-carbon interactions (EMCIs). Defects engineering in carbon supports is an effective strategy to adjust EMCIs. We prepared nitrogen/sulfur co-doped carbon supported Ru nanoparticles (Ru@N/S-LC) using sodium lignosulfonate and urea as feedstocks. Intrinsic S dopants from sodium lignosulfonate create rich S defects, thus enhancing the EMCIs within Ru@N/S-LC, leading a faster electron transfer between Ru nanoparticles and N/S-LC compared with N-doped carbon supported Ru nanoparticles (Ru@N-CC). The resulting Ru@N/S-LC exhibits an enhanced work function and a down-shifted d-band center, inducing stronger electron capturing ability and weaker hydrogen desorption energy than Ru@N-CC. Ru@N/S-LC requires only 7 and 94 mV overpotential in acidic medium and alkaline medium to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were utilized to clarify the impact of sulfur (S) doping and the mechanism underlying the notable catalytic activity of Ru@N/S-LC. This study offers a perspective for utilizing the natural dopants of biomass to adjust the EMCIs for electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Modulation of electronic structure and composition is widely recognized as an effective strategy to improve electrocatalyst performance. Herein, using a simple simultaneous carbonization and sulfidation strategy, NiFe double hydroxide-derived Fe5Ni4S8 (FNS) nanosheets immobilized on S-doped carbonized wood (SCW) framework by taking benefit of the orientation-constrained cavity and hierarchical porous structure of wood is proposed. Benefiting from the synergistic relationships between bimetal ions, the spatial confinement offered by the wood cavity, and the enhanced structural effects of the nanosheets array, the FNS/SCW exhibit enhanced intrinsic activity, increased accessibility of catalytically active sites, and convection-facilitated mass transport, resulting in an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and durability. Specifically, it takes a low overpotential of 230 mV at 50 mA cm-2 and potential increase is negligible (3.8%) at 50 mA cm-2 for 80 hours. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further reveal that the synergistic effect of bimetal can optimize the electronic structure and lower the reaction energy barrier. The FNS/SCW used as the cathode of zinc-air battery shows higher power density and excellent durability relative to commercial RuO2, exhibiting a good application prospect. Overall, this research offers proposals for designing and producing effective OER electrocatalysts using sustainable resources.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed dual-site catalysts can regulate multiple reaction processes and provide synergistic functions based on diverse molecules and their interfaces. However, how to synthesize and stabilize dual-site single-atom catalysts (DACs) is confronted with challenges. Herein, we report a facile high-temperature gas-migration strategy to synthesize Fe-Ni DACs on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (FeNiSAs/NC). FeNiSAs/NC exhibits a high half-wave potential (0.88 V) for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and a low overpotential of 410 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As an air electrode for Zn-air batteries (ZABs), it shows better performances in aqueous ZABs and excellent stability and flexibility in solid-state ZABs. The high specific surface area (1687.32 m2/g) of FeNiSAs/NC is conducive to electron transport. Density functional theory (DFT) reveals that the Fe sites are the active center, and Ni sites can significantly optimize the free energy of the oxygen-containing intermediate state on Fe sites, contributing to the improvement of ORR and the corresponding OER activities. This work can provide guidance for the rational design of DACs and understand the structure-activity relationship of SACs with multiple active sites for electrocatalytic energy conversion.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water oxidation is a key half-reaction for various solar-to-fuel conversion systems but requires simultaneous water affinity and hole accumulation at the photocatalytic site. Here, we present the rational design and synthesis of an ionic-type covalent organic framework (COF) named tetraphenylporphyrin cobalt and cobalt bipyridine complex (CoTPP-CoBpy3) COF, combining cobalt porphyrin and cobalt bipyridine building blocks as a photocatalyst for water oxidation. The good dispersibility of porous large-size (>2 micrometers) COF nanosheets (≈1.45 nanometers) facilitates local water collection; the ultrafast triplet-state charge transfer (1.8 picoseconds) and prolonged charge separation (1.2 nanoseconds) further contribute to the efficient accumulation of holes in the CoTPP moiety, leading to a photocatalytic dioxygen production rate of 7323 micromoles per gram per hour. Moreover, we have identified an end-on superoxide radical (O2·) intermediate at the active site of the CoTPP moiety and proposed an electron-intermediate cascade mechanism that elucidates the synergistic coupling of electron relay (S1-T1-T1') and intermediate evolution during the photocatalytic process.

Abstract
The electrolytic water method is an outstanding hydrogen production process because of its high stability and no restriction. A low-priced and efficient catalyst for electro-deposition of Ni-Co microspheres and nanoclusters on carbon steel (Ni-Co/CS) has been prepared by the dynamic hydrogen bubble template. In the 6 M KOH solution, Ni-Co/CS only requires an overpotential of 48 mV to provide a current density of 50 mA cm-2. At the same time, it also has a large electrochemically active specific surface area (ECSA) and a hydrophilic surface. In addition, the study about the influence of carbon steel (CS) on Ni-Co coatings and the comparison experiment for different base materials has been completed. The results prove that CS is an excellent base material for hydrogen production. It can help the Ni-Co catalyst to have a stable electrolysis in 6 M KOH for 500 h. The above properties of Ni-Co/CS catalyst make it a new choice of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water in practical applications.

Abstract
Molecular hydrogen (H2) adsorption plays a crucial role in numerous applications, including hydrogen storage and purification processes. Understanding the interaction of H2 with porous materials is essential for designing efficient adsorption systems. In this study, we investigate H2 adsorption on CHA-zeolite using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and force field-based molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Firstly, we employ DFT calculations to explore the energetic properties and adsorption sites of H2 on the CHA-zeolite framework. The electronic structure and binding energies of H2 in various adsorption configurations are analyzed, providing valuable insights into the nature of the adsorption process. Subsequently, force field methods are employed to perform extensive MD simulations, allowing us to study the dynamic behavior of H2 molecules adsorbed on the CHA-zeolite surface. The trajectory analysis provides information on the diffusion mechanisms and mobility of H2 within the porous structure, shedding light on the transport properties of the adsorbed gas. Furthermore, the combination of DFT and MD results enables us to validate and refine the force field parameters used in simulations, improving the accuracy of the model, and enhancing our understanding of the H2-CHA interactions. Our comprehensive investigation into molecular hydrogen adsorption on CHA-zeolite using density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations yields valuable insights into the fundamental aspects of the adsorption process. These findings contribute to the development of advanced hydrogen storage and separation technologies, paving the way for efficient and sustainable energy applications.
