Abstract
Anaerobic thermal-assisted photocatalytic methanol conversion in the gas phase in the presence of water vapor has been suggested as an interesting way to generate formaldehyde as a valuable coupled product in addition to H2 production. Here, the reaction mechanism and photocatalyst deactivation are investigated in detail using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform (DRIFTS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. EPR shows that paramagnetic oxygen vacancies are not involved in the reaction mechanism over undoped SrTiO3. Instead, on an optimized 0.1 wt% Pt/SrTiO3 photocatalyst, methoxy species are formed by dissociative adsorption of methanol leading to formaldehyde formation while the formation of CO, CO2 (via a formate intermediate) and methyl formate occurs through three concurrent reactions from formyl species. Our findings suggest that CO adsorbed on Pt is a spectator species not perturbing the reaction kinetics, and deactivation is shown to be strongly correlated with the accumulation of formate groups on SrTiO3, which is more pronounced at high reaction temperatures. The mechanistic understanding provided here forms the basis for the further optimization of photocatalysts to increase methanol conversion and improve formaldehyde selectivity.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts of supported metals are important for both liquid-phase and gas-phase chemical transformations which underpin the petrochemical sector and manufacture of bulk or fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Conventional supported metal catalysts (SMC) suffer from deactivation resulting from sintering, leaching, coking and so on. Besides the choice of active species (e.g. atoms, clusters, nanoparticles) to maximize catalytic performances, strategies to stabilize active species are imperative for rational design of catalysts, particularly for those catalysts that work under heated and corrosive reaction conditions. The complete encapsulation of metal active species within a matrix (e.g. zeolites, MOFs, carbon, etc.) or core-shell arrangements is popular. However, the use of partial/porous overlayers (PO) to preserve metals, which simultaneously ensures the accessibility of active sites through controlling the size/shape of diffusing reactants and products, has not been systematically reviewed. The present review identifies the key design principles for fabricating supported metal catalysts with partial/porous overlayers (SMCPO) and demonstrates their advantages versus conventional supported metals in catalytic reactions.

Abstract
A novel chemiresistive-type sensor for detecting sub-ppm NO2 has been fabricated using AuPt bimetal-decorated SnSe2 microflowers, which was synthesized by the hydrothermal treatment followed by in situ chemical reduction of the bimetal precursors on the surface of the petals of the microflowers. The as-prepared sensor registers a superior performance in detection of sub-ppm concentration of NO2. Functionalized by the AuPt bimetal, the SnSe2 microflower-based sensor shows a response of approximately 4.62 to 8 ppm NO2 at 130 °C. It is significantly higher than those of the sensors using the pristine SnSe2 (∼2.29) and the modified SnSe2 samples by a single metal, either Au (∼3.03) or Pt (∼3.97). The sensor demonstrates excellent long-term stability, signal repeatability, and selectivity to some typical interfering gaseous species including ammonia, acetone, formaldehyde, ethanol, methanol, benzene, CO2, SO2, and CO. The remarkable improvement of the sensitive characteristics could be induced by the electronic and chemical sensitization and the synergistic effect of the AuPt bimetal. Density functional theory (DFT) is implemented to calculate the adsorption states of NO2 on the sensing materials and thus to possibly reveal the sensing mechanism. The significantly enhanced response of the SnSe2-based sensor decorated with AuPt bimetallic nanoparticles has been found to be possibly caused by the orbital hybridization of O, Au, and Pt atoms leading to the redistribution of electrons, which is beneficial for NO2 molecules to obtain more electrons from the composite material.

Abstract
![]()
In
this review, we discuss selected examples from recent literature
on the role of the support on directing the nanostructures of Au-based
monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles. The role of support is
then discussed in relation to the catalytic properties of Au-based
monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles using different gas phase
and liquid phase reactions. The reactions discussed include CO oxidation,
aerobic oxidation of monohydric and polyhydric alcohols, selective
hydrogenation of alkynes, hydrogenation of nitroaromatics, CO2 hydrogenation, C–C coupling, and methane oxidation.
Only studies where the role of support has been explicitly studied
in detail have been selected for discussion. However, the role of
support is also examined using examples of reactions involving unsupported
metal nanoparticles (i.e., colloidal nanoparticles). It is clear that
the support functionality can play a crucial role in tuning the catalytic
activity that is observed and that advanced theory and characterization
add greatly to our understanding of these fascinating catalysts.

Supporting gold nanoparticles have shown to be extremely active for many industrially important reactions, including oxidations. Two representative examples are the oxidation of alcohols and alkanes, that are substrates of industrial interest, but whose oxidation is still challenging. This review deals with these reactions, giving an insight of the first studies performed by gold based catalysts in these reactions and the most recent developments in the field.

Abstract
![]()
Materials used for
photocatalytic overall water splitting (POWS)
are typically composed of light-absorbing semiconductor crystals,
functionalized with so-called cocatalytic nanoparticles to improve
the kinetics of the hydrogen and/or oxygen evolution reactions. While
function, quantity, and protection of such metal(oxide) nanoparticles
have been addressed in the literature of photocatalysis, the stability
and transients in the active oxidation-state upon illumination have
received relatively little attention. In this Perspective, the latest
insights in the active state of frequently applied cocatalysts systems,
including Pt, Rh/Cr2O3, or Ni/NiOx, will be presented. While the initial morphology
and oxidation state of such nanoparticles is a strong function of
the applied preparation procedure, significant changes in these properties
can occur during water splitting. We discuss these changes in relation
to the nature of the cocatalyst/semiconductor interface. We also show
how know-how of other disciplines such as heterogeneous catalysis
or electro-catalysis and recent advances in analytical methodology
can help to determine the active state of cocatalytic nanoparticles
in photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Although nanosized Au clusters have been well developed for many applications, fundamental understanding of their adsorption/activation behaviors in catalytic applications is still lacking, especially when other elements provide promotion or hybridization functions. Au hybridized with Cu element is a highly investigated system; Cu is in the same element group as Au and thus displays similar physicochemical properties. However, their hybrids are not well understood in terms of their chemical states and adsorption/activation properties. In this work, typical γ-Al2O3-supported Au and CuO as well as Au-CuO nanoparticles were prepared and characterized to explore their adsorption/activation properties in depth using CO as a probe molecule using advanced techniques, such as XPS, HR-TEM, temperature programmed experiments and operando DRIFT combined with mass spectra. It was found that gold and copper can both act as active sites during CO adsorption and activation. The CO-TPD and operando DRIFT results also revealed that CO molecules were able to react with surface oxygenated species, resulting in the direct formation of CO2 over the three samples in the absence of gaseous O2. The gold step sites (Austep) participated more readily in the reaction, especially under gaseous O2-free conditions. During adsorption, CO molecules were more preferentially adsorbed on Au0 sites at lower temperature comparing with those on the Cu0 sites. However, competitive adsorption occurred between CO adsorbed on Au0 and Cu0 with increased reaction temperature, and the synergy between the Au and Cu compositions was too strong to suppress the adsorption and activation of the CO molecules. The dynamic adsorption equilibrium over 120 °C to 200 °C resulted in the appearance of a hysteresis performance platform.

Abstract
In the past decades, various photocatalysts such as TiO2, transition-metal-oxide moieties within cavities and frameworks, or metal complexes have attracted considerable attention in light-excited catalytic processes. Owing to high surface areas, transparency to UV and visible light as well as easily modified surfaces, mesoporous silica-based materials have been widely used as excellent hosts for designing efficient photocatalytic systems under the background of environmental remediation and solar-energy utilization. This Minireview mainly focuses on the surface-chemistry engineering of TiO2/mesoporous silica photocatalytic systems and fabrication of binary oxides and nanocatalysts in mesoporous single-site-photocatalyst frameworks. Recently, metallic nanostructures with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) have been widely studied in catalytic applications harvesting light irradiation. Accordingly, silver and gold nanostructures confined in mesoporous silica and their corresponding catalytic activity enhanced by the LSPR effect will be introduced. In addition, the integration of metal complexes within mesoporous silica materials for the construction of functional inorganic-organic supramolecular photocatalysts will be briefly described.
