Abstract
Copper-catalyzed click chemistry offers creative strategies for activation of therapeutics without disrupting biological processes. Despite tremendous efforts, current copper catalysts face fundamental challenges in achieving high efficiency, atom economy, and tissue-specific selectivity. Herein, we develop a facile "mix-and-match synthetic strategy" to fabricate a biomimetic single-site copper-bipyridine-based cerium metal-organic framework (Cu/Ce-MOF@M) for efficient and tumor cell-specific bioorthogonal catalysis. This elegant methodology achieves isolated single-Cu-site within the MOF architecture, resulting in exceptionally high catalytic performance. Cu/Ce-MOF@M favors a 32.1-fold higher catalytic activity than the widely used MOF-supported copper nanoparticles at single-particle level, as first evidenced by single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. Furthermore, with cancer cell-membrane camouflage, Cu/Ce-MOF@M demonstrates preferential tropism for its parent cells. Simultaneously, the single-site CuII species within Cu/Ce-MOF@M are reduced by upregulated glutathione in cancerous cells to CuI for catalyzing the click reaction, enabling homotypic cancer cell-activated in situ drug synthesis. Additionally, Cu/Ce-MOF@M exhibits oxidase and peroxidase mimicking activities, further enhancing catalytic cancer therapy. This study guides the reasonable design of highly active heterogeneous transition-metal catalysts for targeted bioorthogonal reactions.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 672:700-714.

Abstract
Precisely crafting heterojunctions for efficient charge separation is a major obstacle in the realm of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. A 0D/2D heterojunction was successfully fabricated by anchoring Ag2S quantum dots (Ag2S QDs) onto graphdiyne (GDY) nanosheets (Ag2S QDs/GDY) using a straightforward physical mixing technique. This unique structure allows for excellent contact between GDY and Ag2S QDs, thereby enhancing the rate of charge transfer. The light absorption capabilities of Ag2S QDs/GDY extend up to 1200 nm, enabling strong absorption of light, including infrared. Through DFT calculations and in-situ XPS analysis, it was demonstrated that incorporating Ag2S QDs onto GDY effectively modulates the electronic structure, promotes an internal electric field, and facilitates directional electron transfer. This directed electron transfer enhances the utilization of electrons by GDY and Ag2S QDs, with the added benefit of Ag2S QDs serving as electron reservoirs for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. A 7 %Ag2S QDs/GDY composite exhibited impressive efficiency and stable performance in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (2418 μmol g-1 h-1), which is much higher than that of GDY and Ag2S QDs. This study conclusively demonstrates that the 0D/2D heterojunction formed by GDY and Ag2S QDs can establish high-quality contact and efficient charge transfer, ultimately enhancing photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Breaking the activity-selectivity trade-off has been a long-standing challenge in catalysis. Here, we proposed a nanoheterostructure engineering strategy to overcome the trade-off in metal phosphide catalysts for the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of fuels. Experimental and theoretical results demonstrated that electron delocalization was the key driver to simultaneously achieve high activity and high selectivity for the molybdenum phosphide (MoP)/tungsten phosphide (WP) nanoheterostructure catalyst. The electron delocalization not only promoted the catalytic pathway transition from predominant radicals to singlet oxygens in H2O2 activation but also simultaneously optimized the adsorption of reactants and intermediates on Mo and W sites. The presence of such dual-enhanced active sites ideally compensated for the loss of activity due to the nonradical catalytic pathway, consequently disentangling the activity-selectivity trade-off. The resulting catalyst (MoWP2/C) unprecedentedly achieved 100% removal of thiophenic compounds from real diesel at an initial concentration of 2676 ppm of sulfur with a high turnover frequency (TOF) of 105.4 h-1 and a minimal O/S ratio of 4. This work provides fundamental insight into the structure-activity-selectivity relationships of heterogeneous catalysts and may inspire the development of high-performance catalysts for ODS and other catalytic fields.

Abstract
Carbon-defect engineering in single-atom metal-nitrogen-carbon (M─N─C) catalysts by straightforward and robust strategy, enhancing their catalytic activity for volatile organic compounds, and uncovering the carbon vacancy-catalytic activity relationship are meaningful but challenging. In this study, an iron-nitrogen-carbon (Fe─N─C) catalyst is intentionally designed through a carbon-thermal-diffusion strategy, exposing extensively the carbon-defective Fe─N4 sites within a micro-mesoporous carbon matrix. The optimization of Fe─N4 sites results in exceptional catalytic ozonation efficiency, surpassing that of intact Fe─N4 sites and commercial MnO2 by 10 and 312 times, respectively. Theoretical calculations and experimental data demonstrated that carbon-defect engineering induces selective cleavage of C─N bond neighboring the Fe─N4 motif. This induces an increase in non-uniform charges and Fermi density, leading to elevated energy levels at the center of Fe d-band. Compared to the intact atomic configuration, carbon-defective Fe─N4 site is more activated to strengthen the interaction with O3 and weaken the O─O bond, thereby reducing the barriers for highly active surface atomic oxygen (*O/*OO), ultimately achieving efficient oxidation of CH3SH and its intermediates. This research not only offers a viable approach to enhance the catalytic ozonation activity of M─N─C but also advances the fundamental comprehension of how periphery carbon environment influences the characteristics and efficacy of M─N4 sites.

Abstract
Formate, a crucial chemical raw material, holds significant promise for industrial applications in the context of CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR). Despite its potential, challenges, such as poor selectivity and low formation rate at high current densities persist, primarily due to the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and high energy barriers associated with *OCHO intermediate generation. Herein, one-step chemical co-reduction strategy is employed to construct an amorphous-crystalline CeOx-Sn heterostructure, demonstrating remarkable catalytic performance in converting CO2 to formate. The optimized CeOx-Sn heterostructures reach a current density of 265.1 mA cm-2 and a formate Faraday efficiency of 95% at -1.07 V versus RHE. Especially, CeOx-Sn achieves a formate current density of 444.4 mA cm-2 and a formate production rate of 9211.8 µmol h-1 cm-2 at -1.67 V versus RHE, surpassing most previously reported materials. Experimental results, coupled with (density functional theory)DFT calculations confirm that robust interface interaction between CeOx and Sn active center induces electron transfer from crystalline Sn site to amorphous CeOx, some Ce4+of CeOx get electrons and convert to unsaturated Ce3+, optimizing the electronic structure of active Sn. This amorphous-crystalline heterostructure promotes electron transfer during CO2RR, reducing the energy barrier formed by *OCHO intermediates, and thus achieving efficient reduction of CO2 to formate.

Abstract
A crystalline porous bipyridine-based Bpy-COF with a high BET surface area (1864 m2 g-1) and uniform mesopore (4.0 nm) is successfully synthesized from 1,3,5-tris-(4'-formyl-biphenyl-4-yl)triazine and 5,5'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine via a solvothermal method. After Cu(I)-loading, the resultant Cu(I)-Bpy-COF remained the ordered porous structure with evenly distributed Cu(I) ions at a single-atom level. Using Cu(I)-Bpy-COF as a heterogeneous catalyst, high conversions for cycloaddition reactions are achieved within a short time (40 min) at 25 °C in water medium. Moreover, Cu(I)-Bpy-COF proves to be applicable for aromatic and aliphatic azides and alkynes bearing various substituents such as ester, hydroxyl, amido, pyridyl, thienyl, bulky triphenylamine, fluorine, and trifluoromethyl groups. The high conversions remain almost constant after five cycles. Additionally, the antiepileptic drug (rufinamide) is successfully prepared by a simple one-step reaction using Cu(I)-Bpy-COF, proving its practical feasibility for pharmaceutical synthesis.

Abstract
The oligomers of carbon suboxide, known as red carbon, exhibit a highly conjugated structure and semiconducting properties. Upon mild heat treatment, it transforms into a carbonaceous framework rich in oxygen surface terminations, called oxocarbon. In this study, the abundant oxygen functionalities are harnessed as anchors to create oxocarbon-supported nanohybrid electrocatalysts. Starting with single atomic Cu (II) strongly coordinated to oxygen atoms on red carbon, the Fehling reaction leads to the formation of Cu2O clusters. Simultaneously, a covalent oxocarbon framework emerges via cross-linking, providing robust support for Cu2O clusters. Notably, the oxocarbon support effectively stabilizes Cu2O clusters of very small size, ensuring their high durability in acidic conditions and the presence of ammonia. The synthesized material exhibits a superior electrocatalytic activity for nitrate reduction under acidic electrolyte conditions, with a high yield rate of ammonium (NH4 +) at 3.31 mmol h-1 mgcat -1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 92.5% at a potential of -0.4 V (vs RHE).

Abstract
The activity-stability trade-off relationship of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a tricky issue that strikes the electrocatalyst population and hinders the widespread application of fuel cells. Here neoteric biphase Pd nanosheets that are structured with ultrathin two-dimensional crystalline Pd inner cores and ≈1 nm thin atomic-hybrid RhOx/Pd amorphous skins, named c/a-Pd@PdRh NSs, for disentangling this trade-off dilemma for alkaline ORR are developed. The superthin amorphous skins significantly amplify the quantity of flexibly low-coordinated atoms for electrocatalysis. An in situ selected oxidation of the top-surface Rh dopants creates atomically hybrid RhOx/Pd disorder surfaces. Detailed energy spectra and theoretical simulation confirm that these RhOx/Pd interfaces can arouse a surface charge redistribution, causing significant electron deficiency and lowered d-band center for surface Pd. Meanwhile, anticorrosive Rh/RhOx species can thermodynamically passivate the neighboring Pd atoms from oxidative dissolution. Thanks to these amplified interfacial effects, the biphase c/a-Pd@PdRh NSs simultaneously exhibit a superhigh ORR activity (5.92 A mg-1, 22.8 times that of Pt/C) and an outstanding long-lasting stability after 100k cycles of accelerated durability test, showcasing unprecedented electrocatalysts for breaking the activity-stability trade-off relationship of ORR. This work paves a bran-new strategy for designing high-performance electrocatalysts through creating modulated amorphous skins on low-dimensional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional semiconductor-based nanomaterials have shown to be an effective substrate for Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. However, the enhancement factor (EF) tends to be relatively weak compared to that of noble metals and does not allow for trace detection of molecules. In this work, we report the successful preparation of two-dimensional (2D) amorphous non-van der Waals heterostructures MoO3-x/GDYO nanomaterials using supercritical CO2. Due to the synergistic effect of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect and the charge transfer effect, it exhibits excellent SERS performance in the detection of methylene blue (MB) molecules, with a detection limit as low as 10-14 M while the enhancement factor (EF) can reach an impressive 2.55×1011. More importantly, the chemical bond bridging at the MoO3-x/GDYO heterostructures interface can accelerate the electron transfer between the interfaces, and the large number of defective surface structures on the heterostructures surface facilitates the chemisorption of MB molecules. And the charge recombination lifetime can be proved by a ~1.7-fold increase during their interfacial electron-transfer process for MoO3-x/GDYO@MB mixture, achieving highly sensitive SERS detection.

Abstract
The preparation of formic acid by direct reduction of carbon dioxide is an important basis for the future chemical industry and is of great significance. Due to the serious shortage of highly active and selective electrocatalysts leading to the development of direct reduction of carbon dioxide is limited. Herein the target catalysts with high CO2RR activity and selectivity were identified by integrating DFT calculations and high-throughput screening and by using graphdiyne (GDY) supported metal oxides quantum dots (QDs) as the ideal model. It is theoretically predicted that GDY supported indium oxide QDs (i.e., InOx/GDY) is a new heterostructure electrocatalyst candidate with optimal CO2RR performance. The interfacial electronic strong interactions effectively regulate the surface charge distribution of QDs and affect the adsorption/desorption behavior of HCOO* intermediate during CO2RR to achieve highly efficient CO2 conversion. Based on the predicted composition and structure, we synthesized the advanced catalytic system, and demonstrates superior CO2-to-HCOOH conversion performance. The study presents an effective strategy for rational design of highly efficient heterostructure electrocatalysts to promote green chemical production.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 conversion to value-added multicarbon (C2+) chemicals holds promise for reducing CO2 emissions and advancing carbon neutrality. However, achieving both high conversion rate and selectivity remains challenging due to the limited active sites on catalysts for carbon-carbon (C─C) coupling. Herein, porous CuO is coated with amorphous CuSiO3 (p-CuSiO3/CuO) to maximize the active interface sites, enabling efficient CO2 reduction to C2+ products. Significantly, the p-CuSiO3/CuO catalyst exhibits impressive C2+ Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 77.8% in an H-cell at -1.2 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.1 M KHCO3 and remarkable C2H4 and C2+ FEs of 82% and 91.7% in a flow cell at a current density of 400 mA cm-2 in 1 M KOH. In situ characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that the active interfaces facilitate CO2 activation and lower the formation energy of the key intermediate *OCCOH, thus promoting CO2 conversion to C2+. This work provides a rational design for steering the active sites toward C2+ products.

Abstract
Zn-air battery (ZAB) is advocated as a more viable option in the new-energy technology. However, the limited-output capacity at a high current density impedes the driving range in power batteries substantially. Here, a novel heterojunction-based graphdiyne (GDY) and Ag29Cu7 alloy quantum dots (Ag29Cu7 QDs/GDY) for constructing a high-performance aqueous ZAB are fabricated. The as-fabricated ZAB achieves discharge at up to 100 mA cm-2 (the highest value ever reported) along with a remarkable output specific capacity of 786.2 mAh g-1 Zn, which is mainly benefitted from the binary-synergistic effect toward a stable triple-phase interface for air electrode induced by the Ag29Cu7 QDs and GDY in harsh base, together with the decreasing reaction energy barrier and polarization. The results outperform the superior reports discharging at low current and will bring breakthrough progress toward the practical applications of ZAB on large power supply facilities.

Abstract
Interfacial interaction dictates the overall catalytic performance and catalytic behavior rules of the composite catalyst. However, understanding of interfacial active sites at the microscopic scale is still limited. Importantly, identifying the dynamic action mechanism of the "real" active site at the interface necessitates nanoscale, high spatial-time-resolved complementary-operando techniques. In this work, a Co3O4 homojunction with a well-defined interface effect is developed as a model system to explore the spatial-correlation dynamic response of the interface toward oxygen evolution reaction. Quasi in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy-electron energy-loss spectroscopy with high spatial resolution visually confirms the size characteristics of the interface effect in the spatial dimension, showing that the activation of active sites originates from strong interfacial electron interactions at a scale of 3 nm. Multiple time-resolved operando spectroscopy techniques explicitly capture dynamic changes in the adsorption behavior for key reaction intermediates. Combined with density functional theory calculations, we reveal that the dynamic adjustment of multiple adsorption configurations of intermediates by highly activated active sites at the interface facilitates the O-O coupling and *OOH deprotonation processes. The dual dynamic regulation mechanism accelerates the kinetics of oxygen evolution and serves as a pivotal factor in promoting the oxygen evolution activity of the composite structure. The resulting composite catalyst (Co-B@Co3O4/Co3O4 NSs) exhibits an approximately 70-fold turnover frequency and 20-fold mass activity than the monomer structure (Co3O4 NSs) and leads to significant activity (η10 ∼257 mV). The visual complementary analysis of multimodal operando/in situ techniques provides us with a powerful platform to advance our fundamental understanding of interfacial structure-activity relationships in composite structured catalysts.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate to ammonia (NO3RR) is gaining attention for low carbon emissions and environmental protection. However, low ammonia production rate and poor selectivity have remained major challenges in this multi-proton coupling process. Herein, we report a facile strategy toward a novel Fe-based hybrid structure composed of Fe single atoms and Fe3C atomic clusters that demonstrates outstanding performance for synergistic electrocatalytic NO3RR. By operando synchrotron Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and theoretical computation, we clarify that Fe single atoms serve as the active site for NO3RR, while Fe3C clusters facilitate H2O dissociation to provide protons (*H) for continued hydrogenation reactions. As a result, the Fe-based electrocatalyst exhibits ammonia Faradaic efficiency of nearly 100%, with a corresponding production rate of 24768 μg h-1 cm-2 at -0.4 V vs RHE, exceeding most reported metal-based catalysts. This research provides valuable guidance toward multi-step reactions.

Abstract
The built-in electric field (BEF) has become an effective means of adjusting the electronic structure and hydrogen spillover to influence the adsorption of intermediates. However, the previously reported BEF cannot be tuned continuously and precisely. Herein, a series of nanocatalysts with interstitial BEF were successfully synthesized, and the effect of precisely tuned interstitial BEF on the intermediate's adsorption and hydrogen spillover was systematically investigated using changing the insertion of interstitial B. Three catalysts with different BEF strengths were obtained by changing the interstitial content (B0.22-Cu/NC, B0.30-Cu/NC, B0.41-Cu/NC), and it was demonstrated that B0.30-Cu/NC gave the best catalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs). The turnover frequency (TOF) value is shown to reach 0.36 s-1 at just -0.1 V vs. RHE, which is about 3 times that of Cu (0.12 s-1). For the HER, it is one of the best Cu-based catalysts reported to date (Table S3). Besides, when the catalyst was applied to the cathode of the PEM water electrolyzer, B0.30-Cu/NC exhibited long-time stability at a water-splitting current density of 500 mA cm-2. Density functional theory and in situ Raman spectroscopy suggest that a suitable interstitial BEF can not only optimize the intermediate's adsorption but also promote hydrogen spillover.

Abstract
Interfacial interaction in carbon-supported catalysts can offer geometric, electronic, and compositional effects that can be utilized to regulate catalytically active sites, while this is far from being systematically investigated in carbon-supported phosphide catalysts. Here, we proposed a novel concept of electronic phosphide-support interaction (EPSI), which was confirmed by using molybdenum phosphide (MoP) supported on nitrogen-phosphorus codoped carbon (NPC) as a model catalyst (MoP@NPC). Such a strong EPSI could not only stabilize MoP in a low-oxidation state under environmental conditions but also regulate its electronic structure, leading to reduced dissociation energy of the oxygen-containing intermediates and enhancing the catalytic activity for oxidative desulfurization. The removal of dibenzothiophene over the MoP@NPC was as high as 100% with a turnover frequency (TOF) value of 0.0027 s-1, which was 33 times higher than that of MoP without EPSI. This work will open new avenues for the development of high-performance supported phosphide catalysts.
