Abstract
To elucidate the microstructure and charge transfer behavior at the interface of Pd/metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) catalysts and systematically explore the crucial role of the Mott-Schottky effect in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysis process, this study established a testing system for spatially identifying Mott-Schottky effects and electronic properties at Pd/MOS interfaces, leveraging highly sensitive Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). This system enabled visualization and quantification of the surface potential difference and Mott-Schottky barrier height (ΦSBH) at the Pd/MOS heterojunction interfaces. Furthermore, a series of Pd/MOS Mott-Schottky catalysts were constructed based on differences in work functions between Pd and n-type MOS. The abundant oxygen vacancies in these catalysts facilitated the adsorption and activation of oxygen molecules. Notably, the intensity of the built-in electric field in the Pd/MOS Mott-Schottky catalysts was calculated through surface potential and zeta potential analysis, systematically correlating the Mott-Schottky effect at the heterojunction interface of Pd/MOS with ORR activity and kinetics. By comprehensively exploring the correlation between the Mott-Schottky effect and ORR performance in Pd/MOS catalysts using the KPFM testing system, this study provides necessary tools and approaches for a deep understanding of heterogeneous interface charge transfer mechanisms, as well as for optimizing catalyst design and enhancing ORR performance.

Abstract
The development of heterogeneous catalysts with well-defined uniform isolated or multiple active sites is of great importance for understanding catalytic performances and studying reaction mechanisms. Herein, we present a CoCu dual-atom catalyst (CoCu-DAC) where bonded Co-Cu dual-atom sites are embedded in N-doped carbon matrix with a well-defined Co(OH)CuN6 structure. The CoCu-DAC exhibits higher catalytic activity and selectivity than the Co single-atom catalyst (Co-SAC) and Cu single-atom catalyst (Cu-SAC) counterparts in the catalytic oxidative esterification of alcohols and a variety of methyl and alkyl esters have been successfully synthesized. Kinetic studies reveal that the activation energy (29.7 kJ mol-1) over CoCu-DAC is much lower than that over Co-SAC (38.4 kJ mol-1) and density functional theory (DFT) studies disclose that two different mechanisms are regulated over CoCu-DAC and Co-SAC/Cu-SAC in three-step esterification of alcohols. The bonded Co-Cu and adjacent N species efficiently catalyze the elementary reactions of alcohol dehydrogenation, O2 activation and ester formation, respectively. The stepwise alkoxy pathway (O-H and C-H scissions) is preferred for both alcohol dehydrogenation and ester formation over CoCu-DAC, while the progressive hydroxylalkyl pathway (C-H and O-H scissions) for alcohol dehydrogenation and simultaneous hemiacetal dehydrogenation are favored over Co-SAC and Cu-SAC. Characteristic peaks in the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis may confirm the formation of the metal-C intermediate and the hydroxylalkyl pathway over Co-SAC.

Abstract
In the present era, the fixation of atmospheric CO2 is of significant importance and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of carbon and energy flow within ecosystems. Generally, CO2 fixation is carried out by autotrophic organisms; however, the scientific community has paid substantial attention to execute this process in laboratory. In this report, we synthesized two carbonato-bridged trinuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu3(L1)3(μ3-CO3)](ClO4)3 (1) and [Cu3(L2)3(μ3-CO3)](ClO4)3 (2) via atmospheric fixation of CO2 starting with Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O and easily accessible pyridine/pyrazine-based N4 donor Schiff base ligands L1 and L2, respectively. Under very similar reaction conditions, the ligand framework embedded with the phenolate moiety (HL3) fails to do so because of the reduction of the Lewis acidity of the metal center, inhibiting the formation of a reactive hydroxide bound copper(II) species, which is required for the fixation of atmospheric CO2. X-ray crystal structures display that carbonate-oxygen atoms bridge three copper(II) centers in μ3syn-anti disposition in 1 and 2, whereas [Cu(HL3)(ClO4)] (3) is a mononuclear complex. Interestingly, we also isolated an important intermediate of atmospheric CO2 fixation and structurally characterized it as an anti-anti μ2 carbonato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu2(L2)2(μ2-CO3)](ClO4)2·MeOH (2-I), providing an in-depth understanding of CO2 fixation in these systems. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement suggests ferromagnetic interactions between the metal centers in both 1 and 2, and the results have been further supported by DFT calculations. The catalytic efficiency of our synthesized complexes 1-3 was checked by means of catechol oxidase and phenoxazinone synthase-like activities. While complexes 1 and 2 showed oxidase-like activity for aerobic oxidation of o-aminophenol and 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol, complex 3 was found to be feebly active. ESI mass spectrometry revealed that the oxidation reaction proceeds through the formation of complex-substrate intermediations and was further substantiated by DFT calculations. Moreover, active catalysts 1 and 2 were effectively utilized for the base-free oxidation of benzylic alcohols in the presence of air as a green and sustainable oxidant and catalytic amount of TEMPO in acetonitrile. Various substituted benzylic alcohols smoothly converted to their corresponding aldehydes under very mild conditions and ambient temperature. The present catalytic protocol showcases its environmental sustainability by producing minimal waste.

Abstract
The rational construction of highly active and durable oxygen-reactive electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) plays a critical role in rechargeable metal-air batteries. It is pivotal to achieve optimal utilization of electrocatalytically active sites and valid control of the high specific internal surface area. Inspiration for designing electrocatalysts can come from nature, as it is full of precisely manipulated and highly efficient structures. Herein, inspired by earthworms fertilizing soil, a 3D carbon nanofibrous electrocatalyst with multiple interconnected nanoconfined channels, cobalt-based heterojunction active particles and enriched N, S heteroatoms (Co/Co3O4/CoF2@NSC with confined channels) is rationally designed, showing superior bifunctional electrocatalytic activity in alkaline electrolyte, even outperforming that of benchmark Pt/C-RuO2 catalyst. This work demonstrates a new method for porous structural regulation, in which the internal confined channels within the nanofibers are controllably formed by the spontaneous migration of cobalt-based nanoparticles under a CO2 atmosphere. Theoretical analysis reveals that constructing Co/Co3O4/CoF2@NSC electrocatalyst with confined channels can greatly adjust the electron distribution, effectively lower the reaction barrier of inter-mediate and reduce the OER/ORR overpotential. This work introduces a novel and nature-inspired strategy for designing efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts with well-designed architectures.

Polysulfide regulation by defect-modulated Ta 3N 5-x electrocatalyst toward superior room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2024; 69:197-208.

Abstract
Resolving low sulfur reaction activity and severe polysulfide dissolution remains challenging in metal-sulfur batteries. Motivated by a theoretical prediction, herein, we strategically propose nitrogen-vacancy tantalum nitride (Ta3N5-x) impregnated inside the interconnected nanopores of nitrogen-decorated carbon matrix as a new electrocatalyst for regulating sulfur redox reactions in room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. Through a pore-constriction mechanism, the nitrogen vacancies are controllably constructed during the nucleation of Ta3N5-x. The defect manipulation on the local environment enables well-regulated Ta 5d-orbital energy level, not only modulating band structure toward enhanced intrinsic conductivity of Ta-based materials, but also promoting polysulfide stabilization and achieving bifunctional catalytic capability toward completely reversible polysulfide conversion. Moreover, the interconnected continuous Ta3N5-x-in-pore structure facilitates electron and sodium-ion transport and accommodates volume expansion of sulfur species while suppressing their shuttle behavior. Due to these attributes, the as-developed Ta3N5-x-based electrode achieves superior rate capability of 730 mAh g-1 at 3.35 A g-1, long-term cycling stability over 2000 cycles, and high areal capacity over 6 mAh cm-2 under high sulfur loading of 6.2 mg cm-2. This work not only presents a new sulfur electrocatalyst candidate for metal-sulfur batteries, but also sheds light on the controllable material design of defect structure in hopes of inspiring new ideas and directions for future research.

Abstract
N-alkylation of anilines by alcohols can be used as an efficient strategy to synthesise a wide range of secondary amines. In this respect, a hydrogen borrowing methodology has been explored using precious metal-based catalysts. However, the utilisation of cheap and readily available transition metal based catalysts is required for large-scale applications. In this work, we have reported metal-organic framework-derived CoNx@NC catalysts for the selective N-alkylation of anilines with different types of alcohols. The Co-N coordination in CoNx@NC was found to be extremely important to improve the conversion efficiency and yield of the product. As a result, CoNx@NC produced 99% yield of the desired amines, which is far better than that of Co@C (yield = 65%). In addition, CoNx@NC showed remarkable recyclability for six cycles with a minimum drop in the yield of the desired product.

Abstract
High-entropy oxides (HEOs) are crucial in various fields (power storage/conversion, electronic devices, and catalysis) owing to their adjustable structural characteristics, fabulous stability, and massive components. However, the current strategies for synthesizing HEOs suffer from low surface area and limited active sites. Herein, we present a salt-assisted strategy with remarkable universality for the preparation of HEOs with high surface area [e.g., HP-(FeCrCoNiCu)xOy: 59 m2/g, HP-(ZnMgNiCuCo)xOy: 49 m2/g, and HP-(CrMnFeNiZn)xOy: 11 m2/g], where HP means high porosity. Especially, HP-(FeCrCoNiCu)xOy with rich-oxygen vacancies promotes catalytic efficiency for hydrocarbon and alcohol oxidation owing to its hierarchical texture and massive oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, density functional theory is utilized to well illustrate the relationship of the structure and catalytic efficiency within the catalysts. This work offers realistic pathway for the large-scale application of HEOs in catalytic areas.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of alcohols under mild conditions remains a long-standing challenge in the bulk and fine chemical industry, which usually requires environmentally unfriendly oxidants and bases that are difficult to separate. Here, a plasmonic catalyst of nitrogen-doped carbon-encapsulated metallic Co nanoparticles (Co@NC) with an excellent catalytic activity towards selective oxidation of alcohols is demonstrated. With light as only energy input, the plasmonic Co@NC catalyst effectively operates via combining action of the localized surface-plasmon resonance (LSPR) and the photothermal effects to achieve a factor of 7.8 times improvement compared with the activity of thermocatalysis. A high turnover frequency (TOF) of 15.6 h-1 is obtained under base-free conditions, which surpasses all the reported catalytic performances of thermocatalytic analogues in the literature. Detailed characterization reveals that the d states of metallic Co gain the absorbed light energy, so the excitation of interband d-to-s transitions generates energetic electrons. LSPR-mediated charge injection to the Co@NC surface activates molecular oxygen and alcohol molecules adsorbed on its surface to generate the corresponding radical species (e.g., ⋅O2 - , CH3 O⋅ and R-⋅CH-OH). The formation of multi-type radical species creates a direct and forward pathway of oxidative esterification of benzyl alcohol to speed up the production of esters.

Abstract
Electromagnetic wave absorbing materials (EWAMs) have made great progress in the past decades, and are playing an increasingly important role in radiation prevention and antiradar detection due to their essential attenuation toward incident EM wave. With the flourish of nanotechnology, the design of high-performance EWAMs is not just dependent on the intrinsic characteristics of single-component medium, but pays more attention to the synergistic effects from different components to generate rich loss mechanisms. Among various candidates, carbides and carbon materials are usually labeled with the features of chemical stability, low density, tunable dielectric property, and diversified morphology/microstructure, and thus the combination of carbides and carbon materials will be a promising way to acquire new EWAMs with good practical application prospects. In this review, we introduce EM loss mechanisms related to dielectric composites, and then highlight the state-of-the-art progress in carbides/carbon composites as high-performance EWAMs, including silicon carbide/carbon, MXene/carbon, molybdenum carbide/carbon, as well as some uncommon carbides/carbon composites and multicomponent composites. The critical information regarding composition optimization, structural engineering, performance reinforcement, and structure-function relationship are discussed in detail. In addition, some challenges and perspectives for the development of carbides/carbon composites are also proposed after comparing the performance of some representative composites.

[PMID: 37664625 PMCID: PMC10470385 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
An unprecedented efficient protocol is developed for the oxidative cleavage of C≡C bonds in alkynes to produce structure-diverse esters using heterogeneous cobalt nanoparticles as catalyst with molecular oxygen as the oxidant. A diverse set of mono- and multisubstituted aromatic and aliphatic alkynes can be effectively cleaved and converted into the corresponding esters. Characterization analysis and control experiments indicate high surface area and pore volume, as well as nanostructured nitrogen-doped graphene-layer coated cobalt nanoparticles are possibly responsible for excellent catalytic activity. Mechanistic studies reveal that ketones derived from alkynes under oxidative conditions are formed as intermediates, which subsequently are converted to esters through a tandem sequential process. The catalyst can be recycled up to five times without significant loss of activity.

Abstract
A cost-effective approach has been developed to synthesize Cu nanoparticles encapsulated into B and N double-doped carbon nanotubes (Cu@BCNNTs) by one-step pyrolysis. According to the specific binding of Cu-Cl and Cu-glutathione (GSH), we employed Cu@BCNNTs to build an electrochemical sensing platform to detect GSH. The unique space-confined structure can prevent Cu nanoparticles from agglomeration. In addition, B and N co-doped porous hollow tubes can improve the electrochemical conductivity, expand the number of active sites, enhance surface adsorption, and shorten the transport path. These favorable characteristics of Cu@BCNNTs make them have excellent electrocatalytic properties. These results display that the prepared sensor can detect GSH from 0.5 to 120 μM with a detection limit of 0.024 μM. The obtained sensors can be successfully applied in the human serum with recovery of GSH ranging from 100.2 to 103.9%. This work provides a new vision to synthesize nanoparticles confined in a hollow tube for the applications in biosensing and medical diagnostics.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of nitrate (NO3-) to ammonia (NH3) has emerged as an attractive approach for selectively reducing NO3- to highly value-added NH3 and removing NO3- pollutants simultaneously. In this work, a heterostructured Co/Co3O4 electrocatalyst anchored on N-doped carbon nanotubes was prepared and applied for the NO3- reduction towards NH3 under alkaline conditions. The catalyst achieves outstanding performance with up to 67% NH3 faradaic efficiency at -1.2 V vs. Hg/HgO and 8.319 mg h-1 mgcat-1 yield at -1.7 V vs. Hg/HgO. In addition, it also exhibits good long-term stability. 15N isotopic labelling experiments prove that the yielded NH3 is derived from NO3- species. In situ electrochemical Raman spectra revealed that the structure of the as-prepared catalyst showed outstanding stability and identified possible intermediates during the electrocatalytic NO3- reduction reaction (NO3RR).

Abstract
The cleavage and functionalization of C-S bonds have become a rapidly growing field for the design or discovery of new transformations. However, it is usually difficult to achieve in a direct and selective fashion due to the intrinsic inertness and catalyst-poisonous character. Herein, for the first time, we report a novel and efficient protocol that enables direct oxidative cleavage and cyanation of organosulfur compounds by heterogeneous nonprecious-metal Co-N-C catalyst comprising graphene encapsulated Co nanoparticles and Co-Nx sites using oxygen as environmentally benign oxidant and ammonia as nitrogen source. A wide variety of thiols, sulfides, sulfoxides, sulfones, sulfonamides, and sulfonyl chlorides are viable in this reaction, enabling access to diverse nitriles under cyanide-free conditions. Moreover, modifying the reaction conditions also allows for the cleavage and amidation of organosulfur compounds to deliver amides. This protocol features excellent functional group tolerance, facile scalability, cost-effective and recyclable catalyst, and broad substrate scope. Characterization and mechanistic studies reveal that the remarkable effectiveness of the synergistic catalysis of Co nanoparticles and Co-Nx sites is crucial for achieving outstanding catalytic performance.

Abstract
Nonprecious metal heterogeneous catalysts composed of first-row transition metals incorporated into nitrogen-doped carbon matrices (M-N-Cs) have been studied for decades as leading alternatives to Pt for the electrocatalytic O2 reduction reaction (ORR). More recently, similar M-N-C catalysts have been shown to catalyze the aerobic oxidation of organic molecules. This Focus Review highlights mechanistic similarities and distinctions between these two reaction classes and then surveys the aerobic oxidation reactions catalyzed by M-N-Cs. As the active-site structures and kinetic properties of M-N-C aerobic oxidation catalysts have not been extensively studied, the array of tools and methods used to characterize ORR catalysts are presented with the goal of supporting further advances in the field of aerobic oxidation.

Abstract
Developing efficient catalysts for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) is important for the safe storage and controlled release of hydrogen, but it is a challenging task. In this study, we designed a robust Ru-Co3O4 catalyst using the Mott-Schottky effect to induce favorable charge rearrangement. The self-created electron-rich Co3O4 and electron-deficient Ru sites at heterointerfaces are indispensable for the activation of the B-H bond in NH3BH3 and the OH bond in H2O, respectively. The synergistic electronic interaction between the electron-rich Co3O4 and electron-deficient Ru sites at the heterointerfaces resulted in an optimal Ru-Co3O4 heterostructure that exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of AB in the presence of NaOH. The heterostructure had an extremely high hydrogen generation rate (HGR) of 12238 mL min-1 gcat-1 and an expected high turnover frequency (TOF) of 755 molH2 molRu-1 min-1 at 298 K. The activation energy needed for the hydrolysis was low (36.65 kJ mol-1). This study opens up a new avenue for the rational design of high-performance catalysts for AB dehydrogenation based on the Mott-Schottky effect.

Abstract
Electrochemical nitrate (NO3 - ) reduction reaction (NO3 - RR) is a potential sustainable route for large-scale ambient ammonia (NH3 ) synthesis and regulating the nitrogen cycle. However, as this reaction involves multi-electron transfer steps, it urgently needs efficient electrocatalysts on promoting NH3 selectivity. Herein, a rational design of Co nanoparticles anchored on TiO2 nanobelt array on titanium plate (Co@TiO2 /TP) is presented as a high-efficiency electrocatalyst for NO3 - RR. Density theory calculations demonstrate that the constructed Schottky heterostructures coupling metallic Co with semiconductor TiO2 develop a built-in electric field, which can accelerate the rate determining step and facilitate NO3 - adsorption, ensuring the selective conversion to NH3 . Expectantly, the Co@TiO2 /TP electrocatalyst attains an excellent Faradaic efficiency of 96.7% and a high NH3 yield of 800.0 µmol h-1 cm-2 under neutral solution. More importantly, Co@TiO2 /TP heterostructure catalyst also presents a remarkable stability in 50-h electrolysis test.

Abstract
The rational design of ingenious strategies to boost the intrinsic activity and stability of ruthenium (Ru) is of great importance for the substantial progression of water electrolysis technology. Based on Mott-Schottky effect, electronic regulation within a metal/semiconductor hybrid electrocatalyst represents a versatile strategy to boost the electrochemical performance. Herein, a typical Mott-Schottky hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst composed of uniform ultrafine Ru nanoclusters in situ anchored on N-doped carbon nanofibers (abbreviated as Ru@N-CNFs hereafter) through a feasible and scalable "phenolic resin-bridged" strategy is reported. Both spectroscopy analyses and density functional theory calculations manifest that such rectifying contact can induce the spontaneous electron transfer from Ru to N-doped carbon nanofibers to generate a built-in electric field, thus enormously promoting the charge transfer efficiency and HER intrinsic activity. Moreover, the seamless immobilization of Ru nanoclusters on the substrate can prevent the active sites from unfavorable migration, coarsening, and detachment, rendering the excellent structural stability. Consequently, the well-designed Ru@N-CNFs afford prominent pH-universal HER performances with small overpotentials of 16 and 17 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and low Tafel slopes of 31.8 and 28.5 mV dec-1 in acidic and alkaline electrolytes, respectively, which are superior to the state-of-the-art commercial Pt/C and Ru/C benchmarks.

Abstract
The cleavage of β-O-4 linkage in lignin is one of the key steps for oxidative conversion of lignin to low-molecular-weight aromatics. Herein, Co nanoparticles embedded in three-dimensional network of nitrogen-doped graphene (Co/NG@3DNG-X) were prepared through an immersion-pyrolysis procedure, in which X denotes the pyrolysis temperature. The detailed characterization of Co/NG@3DNG-X shows that the Co nanoparticles are coated with a few layers of nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) sheets that are further embedded in 3DNG matrix. The catalytic activities of the Co/NG@3DNG-X for the oxidative cleavage of β-O-4 linkage in lignin model compounds with O2 as oxidant are explored. It is demonstrated that catalytic activities of as-prepared Co/NG@3DNG-X can be tuned by varying the pyrolysis condition, and the Co/NG@3DNG-900 shows the highest catalytic activity, which is attributed to the enriched Co-Nx species, the strong surface basicity, the high specific surface and the mesoporous motif of 3DNG network. More pronouncedly, the Co/NG@3DNG-900 can also effectively catalyze the oxidative cleavage of organosolv lignin, generating certain monomeric aromatics. Additionally, the intrinsic magnetic property of Co nanoparticles makes the Co/NG@3DNG-X be easily recovered from the reaction mixture, and the as-coated thin NG layer can protect Co nanoparticle from oxidation condition, which putting together afford the Co/NG@3DNG-X with good reusability and stability.

Abstract
Halogenated arylamines are important intermediates for the synthesis of dyes, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals. One important way to prepare halogenated arylamines is catalytic hydrogenation of halogenated nitroarenes. Ni-based catalysts have been used in the hydrogenation of halogenated nitroarenes but suffer from low activity and dehalogenation side reaction. In this paper, Ni-CeO2/SiO2 heterojunction catalyst with a "raisin-bun" structure was prepared by reverse microemulsion. A built-in electric field and more oxygen vacancies were formed due to electron transfer from Ni to CeO2 as a result of their work function difference. The built-in electric field leads to the heterolytic cleavage of H2, thereby improving the hydrogenation activity. Oxygen vacancies preferentially adsorb and activate nitro groups, inhibiting the dehalogenation side reaction. Through the cooperation of built-in electric field and oxygen vacancy, synchronous enhancement of the activity and selectivity is obtained successfully. This finding provides a new view for the design of non-noble metal-based catalysts with high activity and selectivity.

Abstract
The rational design of non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for an efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an important research topic to promote the advancement of aluminum-air batteries. In this work, heterostructural Co/MnO nanoparticles encapsulated in a N-doped carbon electrocatalyst were prepared via one-step pyrolysis utilizing different reduction potentials of Co and Mn ions, and the heterointerface between the two phases was confirmed. The prepared catalyst displays Pt/C competitive ORR performance because of the interfacial synergy of a Co/MnO Mott-Schottky (M-S) heterostructure, which leads to boosted conductivity, formation of an M-S barrier, and a reduced oxygen reduction energy barrier for excited electrons. Furthermore, the Co/MnO-based aluminum-air battery displays good discharge performance, demonstrating good feasibility for practical application.

Abstract
The functions of interfacial synergy in heterojunction catalysts are diverse and powerful, providing a route to solve many difficulties in energy conversion and organic synthesis. Among heterojunction-based catalysts, the Mott-Schottky catalysts composed of a metal-semiconductor heterojunction with predictable and designable interfacial synergy are rising stars of next-generation catalysts. We review the concept of Mott-Schottky catalysts and discuss their applications in various realms of catalysis. In particular, the design of a Mott-Schottky catalyst provides a feasible strategy to boost energy conversion and chemical synthesis processes, even allowing realization of novel catalytic functions such as enhanced redox activity, Lewis acid-base pairs, and electron donor-acceptor couples for dealing with the current problems in catalysis for energy conversion and storage. This review focuses on the synthesis, assembly, and characterization of Schottky heterojunctions for photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and organic synthesis. The proposed design principles, including the importance of constructing stable and clean interfaces, tuning work function differences, and preparing exposable interfacial structures for designing electronic interfaces, will provide a reference for the development of all heterojunction-type catalysts, electrodes, energy conversion/storage devices, and even super absorbers, which are currently topics of interest in fields such as electrocatalysis, fuel cells, CO2 reduction, and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenations of lignin-derived phenolic compounds represent essential processes in the chemical industry, especially for production of a multitude of fine chemicals. However, selective hydrogenation of phenolic compounds in water phase suffers from low conversion. Here we report a catalyst of well-dispersed Ru clusters fixed in N-doped mesoporous hollow carbon spheres (Ru@N-CS) for enhanced cyclohexanol productivity in phenol hydrogenation at mild aqueous condition. This superhydrophobicity carbon spheres appear to selectively allow diffusion of phenol and hydrogen molecules to the electron-rich coordination unsaturated Ru active sites, while confining the reactants there to enhance its reaction probability. The Ru@N-CS catalyst can selectively hydrogenate phenol at 80 °C and 0.5 MPa of H2 in 30 min in aqueous medium with phenol conversions of 100% and ~100% cyclohexanol selectivity, corresponding to cyclohexanol productivity up to 471 per g of Ru per minute. The TOF value is up to 9980 h−1, which 14 times more than Ru nanoparticles supported on N-doped carbon hollow spheres (Ru/N-CS). This work provides an important catalytic system for upgrading of bio-oil into value-added chemicals under mild aqueous-phase.

Abstract
Li-CO2 batteries with high theoretical energy densities are recognized as next-generation energy storage devices for addressing the range anxiety and environmental issues encountered in the field of electric transportation. However, cathode catalysts with unsatisfactory activity toward CO2 absorption and reduction/evolution reactions hinder the development of Li-CO2 batteries with desired specific capacities and sufficient cycle numbers. In this work, a multifunctional nanofibrous cathode catalyst that integrates N-rich carbon shells embedded with molybdenum carbide nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotube cores was designed and prepared. The N-rich carbon shell could strengthen the absorption capacity of CO2 and Li2CO3. The molybdenum carbide nanoparticles would improve the catalytic activity of both CO2 reduction and evolution reactions. The carbon nanotube cores would provide an efficient network for electron transportation. The synergistic effect of the cathode catalysts enhances the electrochemical performance of Li-CO2 batteries. A high cycling stability of more than 150 cycles at a current density of 250 mA g-1 with a cutoff capacity of 1000 mAh g-1 and a charge/discharge overpotential of less than 1.5 V is achieved. This work provides a feasible strategy for the design of a high-performance cathode catalyst for lithium-air batteries.

Abstract
In this work, activated carbon treated in N2 atmosphere, as a non-metallic catalyst, exhibits excellent catalytic performance in reduction of Cr (VI) to Cr (III) using HCOOH as the reducing agent at room temperature. A series of characterizations and control experiments were carried out to deduce the possible reaction mechanism. The results showed that the improved catalytic performance can be attributed to the enhanced graphitization degree and basic sites such as pyrone-like, which favor electron transferring and activation of reactant. The reaction rate constant observed herein for the C-800 was 22 and 6 times more than that for C-0 and Pd/C catalyst, respectively. In addition, C-800 showed good recycle performance, and no loss of activity was observed after 5 cycles. This study broadens the application of nonmetallic catalyst and provides an easy-available and cost-effective catalytic material for removing toxic Cr (VI).

Abstract
Developing an economical, durable, and efficient electrode that performs well at high current densities and is capable of satisfying large-scale electrochemical hydrogen production is highly demanded. A self-supported electrocatalytic "Pt-like" WC porous electrode with open finger-like holes is produced through industrial processes, and a tightly bonded nitrogen-doped WC/W (WC-N/W) heterostructure is formed in situ on the WC grains. The obtained WC-N/W electrode manifests excellent durability and stability under multi-step current density in the range of 30-1000 mA cm-2 for more than 220 h in both acidic and alkaline media. Although WC is three orders of magnitude cheaper than Pt, the produced electrode demonstrates comparable hydrogen evolution reaction performance to the Pt electrode at high current density. Density functional theory calculations attribute its superior performance to the electrode structure and the modulated electronic structure at the WC-N/W interface.

Abstract
A holey carbon material with ordered sub-nanometer hole defects was synthesized from oxidative cyclodehydrogenation of a polyhexaphenylbenzene precursor. Band gap of around 2.2 eV is formed due to the narrow connection between the hexabenzocoronene subunits. It has weak interlayer interaction energy compared with graphene and shows easy dispersion in a wide range of solvents, surprisingly including water. Density functional theory calculations confirmd the excellent dispersion of this material in water. This new carbon material was then proved as effective support for various inorganic nanoparticles of small sizes. The supported iron nanoparticles showed enzyme-like catalysis behavior in nitrophenyl reduction reaction by NaBH4, exemplifying the great potential of this new material in catalysis.

Abstract
Merging existing catalysts together as a cascade catalyst may achieve "one-pot" synthesis of complex but functional molecules by simplifying multistep reactions, which is the blueprint of sustainable chemistry with low pollutant emission and consumption of energy and materials only when the smooth mass exchange between different catalysts is ensured. Effective strategies to facilitate the mass exchange between different active centers, which may dominate the final activity of various cascade catalysts, have not been reached until now, even though charged interfaces due to work function driven electron exchange have been widely observed. Here, we successfully constructed mass (reactants and intermediates) exchange paths between Pd/N-doped carbon and MoC/N-doped carbon induced by interfacial electron exchange to trigger the mild and cascade methylation of amines using CO2 and H2. Theoretical and experimental results have demonstrated that the mass exchange between electron-rich MoC and electron-deficient Pd could prominently improve the production of N,N-dimethyl tertiary amine, which results in a remarkably high turnover frequency value under mild conditions, outperforming the state-of-the-art catalysts in the literature by a factor of 5.9.

Abstract
We present a highly efficient multichannel microfluidic electrochemical sensor integrated with an electroactive nanocarbon microelectrode for sensitive and selective detection of multiple biomarkers in different biological samples. Our results have shown that ionic liquid-assisted wet spinning followed by tailored growth of metal-organic frameworks and pyrolysis treatment led to structural and molecular engineering of mechanically robust all-carbon microfibers for excellent electrochemical activities. The flexible bottlebrush-like nanocarbon microelectrode features a "stem" of freestanding N, B-codoped graphene fiber and high-density "bristles" of Co, N-codoped carbon nanotube arrays, leading to promoted electrocatalytic mechanism that has been substantiated by density functional theory calculations. The structural characteristics, high catalytic activities, and favorable biocompatibility of the bottlebrush nanocarbon electrodes provide opportunities for multichannel, microfluidic detection of redox-active biomolecules, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), and ascorbic acid (AA), and have been applied to on-chip monitoring of H2S and DA released from live cancer cells or neuroblastoma cells and DA, UA, and AA in trace amounts of body fluids such as sweat, finger blood, tears, saliva, and urine, which is of great significance for clinical diagnosis and prognosis in point-of-care testing.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde is usually performed in the liquid phase in batch mode. In this study, a vapour phase flow system has been used to evaluate the use of cobalt catalysts supported inside and outside hollow carbon spheres (HCSs). The influence of temperature, hydrogen flow rate, and catalyst mass on the hydrogenation reaction was investigated. The catalysts generally showed modest conversion to the required products, hydrocinnamaldehyde, 3-phenyl propanol, cinnamyl alcohol, together with formation of various decomposition products. The data revealed that the Co@HCS showed better conversion and product selectivity compared with the Co/HCS. The catalysts with smaller particle sizes (ca. 6 nm) were more efficient than those with larger particles (30–40 nm). An increase in reaction temperature (200–300 °C) resulted in a lower cinnamaldehyde conversion and a poor product selectivity. TPR studies revealed that the Co@HCSs had a stronger metal-support interaction than the Co/HCSs catalysts. Catalyst recycling studies revealed that only the Co/HCSs could be regenerated (four cycles) and post reaction analysis of the catalysts revealed that this was due to HCS pore blockage and not Co sintering.

Abstract
Designing nanostructured arrays of two-dimensional surfaces and interfaces is a versatile approach to increasing their photoelectrochemical activity. Here, phosphorus (P)-incorporated nanostructured carbon nitride (h-PCN) with an enlarged surface area is fabricated by employing trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as a dopant precursor for visible-light-driven photoelectrochemical water splitting to produce hydrogen. The structural, morphological, and electronic properties of the photocatalyst have been characterized through various physicochemical techniques. We show that the incorporation of P into the g-C3N4 framework enhances light absorption over broad regimes, charge separation, and migration, as well as the specific surface area, showing excellent photocurrent enhancement (5.4 folds) in the cathodic direction as compared to bulk g-C3N4. Moreover, the photocathode shows 3.3-fold enhancement in current at zero biased potential. Without using any cocatalyst, the photoelectrodes produced 27 μmol h-1 of H2 and 13 μmol h-1of O2 with 95% faradic efficiency. The excellent photoelectrochemical behavior toward water-splitting reactions by the photoelectrode is attributed to the synergistic effect of P incorporation and active sites emerging from the nanostructured architecture of the material. This work demonstrates the facile fabrication of nanostructured P-incorporated g-C3N4 toward water-splitting reactions to produce hydrogen without using a cocatalyst in a simple and cost-effective way.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 422:126782.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) is a highly toxic heavy metal, which is commonly eliminated by stepwise reduction at acidic pH and precipitation of Cr(OH)3 at alkaline pH. A unique Pt catalyst with Pt particles embedded in the framework of N-doped mesoporous carbon CMK-3 (denoted as Pt@NCMK-3) was designed and fabricated to one-step eliminate Cr(VI) pollution at near neutral pH via simultaneous Cr(VI) reduction by catalytic hydrogenation and Cr(OH)3 recovery. Structural characterization showed that Pt particles of Pt@NCMK-3 were effectively embedded in the carbon rods of NCMK-3. Batch experiments revealed that Pt@NCMK-3 exhibited a higher catalytic activity and stability than other test catalysts. Fixed-bed column reaction results indicated that under the experimental conditions Pt@NCMK-3 had better breakthrough performances than other catalysts. Additionally, after 4 treatment-recovery cycles Pt@NCMK-3 maintained nearly identical breakthrough performance, whereas other catalysts displayed markedly decreased breakthrough bed volumes, reflecting a substantially higher stability of Pt@NCMK-3.

Abstract
Numerous efforts have been devoted to investigating the catalytic events and disclosing the catalytic nature of the metal-carbon interaction interface. Nevertheless, the local deconstruction of catalytically active metal-carbon interface was still missing. Herein, the selected four types of landmark catalytic paradigms were highlighted, which was expected to clarify their essence and thus simplify the catalytic scenarios of the metal-carbon interface—carbon-supported metal nanoparticles, carbon-confined single-atom sites, chainmail catalysis, and the Mott-Schottky effect. The potential challenges and new opportunities were also proposed in the field. This perspective is believed to give an in-depth understanding of the catalytic nature of the metal-carbon interaction interface and in turn provide rational guidance to the delicate design of novel high-performance carbon-supported metal catalysts.

Abstract
Oxidation reactions play a critical role in processes involving energy utilization, chemical conversion, and pollutant elimination. However, due to its spin-forbidden nature, the reaction of molecular dioxygen (O2) with a substrate is difficult under mild conditions. Herein, we describe a system that activates O2 via the direct modulation of its spin state by mechanical energy-induced triboelectric corona plasma, enabling the CO oxidation reaction under normal temperature and pressure. Under optimized reaction conditions, the activity was 7.2 μmol h-1, and the energy consumption per mole CO was 4.2 MJ. The results of kinetic isotope effect, colorimetry, and density functional theory calculation studies demonstrated that electrons generated in the triboelectric plasma were directly injected into the antibonding orbital of O2 to form highly reactive negative ions O2-, which effectively promoted the rate-limiting step of O2 dissociation. The barrier of the reaction of O2- ions and CO molecular was 3.4 eV lower than that of O2 and CO molecular. This work provides an effective strategy for using renewable and green mechanical energy to realize spin-forbidden reactions of small molecules.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of higher alcohols using heterogeneous catalysts is an important reaction in the synthesis of fine chemicals with added value. Though the process for primary alcohol oxidation is industrially established, there is still a lack of fundamental understanding considering the complexity of the catalysts and their dynamics under reaction conditions, especially when higher alcohols and liquid-phase reaction media are involved. Additionally, new materials should be developed offering higher activity, selectivity, and stability. This can be achieved by unraveling the structure-performance correlations of these catalysts under reaction conditions. In this regard, researchers are encouraged to develop more advanced characterization techniques to address the complex interplay between the solid surface, the dissolved reactants, and the solvent. In this mini-review, we report some of the most important approaches taken in the field and give a perspective on how to tackle the complex challenges for different approaches in alcohol oxidation while providing insight into the remaining challenges.
