Abstract
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are a major class of environmental pollutants hazardous to human health, but also highly relevant in other fields including early disease diagnostics and organoleptic perception of aliments. Therefore, accurate analysis of VOC is essential, and a need for new analytical methods is witnessed for rapid on-site detection without complex sample preparation. Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) offers a rapidly developing versatile analytical platform for the portable detection of chemical species. Nonetheless, the need for efficient docking of target analytes at the metallic surface significantly narrows the applicability of SERS. This limitation can be circumvented by interfacing the sensor surface with Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF). These materials featuring chemical and structural versatility can efficiently pre-concentrate low molecular weight species such as VOC through their ordered porous structure. This review presents recent trends in the development of MOF-based SERS substrates with a focus on elucidating respective design rules for maximizing analytical performance. An overview of the status of the detection of harmful VOC is discussed in the context of industrial and environmental monitoring. In addition, a survey of the analysis of VOC biomarkers for medical diagnosis and emerging applications in aroma and flavor profiling is included.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis is an effective way of converting CO2 into fuel and high value-added chemicals. However, the sluggish interfacial electron transfer and adsorption of CO2 at the catalyst surface strongly hamper the activity and selectivity of CO2 reduction. Here, we report a photocathode attaching zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) onto a ZnTe surface to mimic an aquatic leaf featuring stoma and chlorophyll for efficient photoelectrochemical conversion of CO2 into CO. ZIF-8 possessing high CO2 adsorption capacity and diffusivity has been selected to enrich CO2 into nanocages and provide a large number of catalytic active sites. ZnTe with high light-absorption capacity serves as a light-absorbing layer. CO2 molecules are collected in large nanocages of ZIF-8 and delivered to the ZnTe surface. As evidenced by scanning electrochemical microscopy, the interface can effectively boost interfacial electron transfer kinetics. The ZIF-8/ZnTe photocathode with unsaturated Zn-Nx sites exhibits a high Faradaic efficiency for CO production of 92.9% and a large photocurrent of 6.67 mA·cm-2 at -2.48 V (vs Fc/Fc+) in a nonaqueous electrolyte at AM 1.5G solar irradiation (100 mW·cm-2).

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly sensitive analytical detection method commonly employed in biochemical and environmental analysis. Nevertheless, the rapid movement of analytes and interfering components in flow systems can impact the real-time, online detection capability of Raman spectroscopy. To address this issue, we developed an innovative approach utilizing covalent organic framework (COF), a robust porous material with excellent water stability, to coat the surface of Ag nanowire (AgNW) for synthesizing AgNW@COF hybrid. The regular pores of the COF serve to effectively eliminate large interfering molecules while facilitating the efficient transport of specific analytes to SERS hot spots. Additionally, the fluid flow-induced scouring effect aids in excluding interfering molecules from the surface of AgNW. By incorporating AgNW@COF into a bifunctional filter membrane with simultaneous filtration and sensing capabilities, we had achieved efficient purification of organic pollutants as well as real-time identification of pollutant species and concentration.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR) to fuels and chemicals is a promising route to close the anthropogenic carbon cycle for sustainable society. The Cu-based catalysts in producing high-value hydrocarbons feature unique superiorities, yet challenges remain in achieving high selectivity. In this work, Cu@ZIF-8 NWs with highly-exposed Cu nanowires (Cu NWs) and ZIF-8 interface are synthesized via a surfactant-assisted method. Impressively, Cu@ZIF-8 NWs exhibit excellent stability and a high Faradaic efficiency of 57.5% toward hydrocarbons (CH4 and C2H4) at a potential of -0.7 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. Computational calculations combining with experiments reveal the formation of Cu and ZIF-8 interface optimizes the adsorption of reaction intermediates, particularly stabilizing the formation of *CHO, thereby enabling efficient preference for hydrocarbons. This work highlights the potential of constructing metals and MOFs heterogeneous interfaces to enhance catalytic properties and offers valuable insights for the design of highly efficient CO2RR catalysts.

Abstract
Optical microcavities, specifically, whispering-gallery mode (WGM) microcavities, with their remarkable sensitivity to environmental changes, have been extensively employed as biosensors, enabling the detection of a wide range of biomolecules and nanoparticles. To push the limits of detection down to the most sensitive single-molecule level, plasmonic nanorods are strategically introduced to enhance the evanescent fields of WGM microcavities. This advancement of optoplasmonic WGM sensors allows for the detection of single molecules of a protein, conformational changes, and even atomic ions, marking significant contributions in single-molecule sensing. This Perspective discusses the exciting research prospects in optoplasmonic WGM sensing of single molecules, including the study of enzyme thermodynamics and kinetics, the emergence of thermo-optoplasmonic sensing, the ultrasensitive single-molecule sensing on WGM microlasers, and applications in synthetic biology.

Abstract
Current gaseous sensors hardly discriminate trace volatile organic compounds at the ppt level. Herein, we present an integrated platform for simultaneously enabling rapid preconcentration, reliable surface-enhanced Raman scattering, (SERS) detection and automatic identification of trace aldehydes at the ppt level. For rapid preconcentration, we demonstrate that the nozzle-like microfluidic concentrator allows the enrichment of rare gaseous analytes by five-fold in only 0.01 ms. The enriched gas is subsequently captured and detected by an integrated silicon-based SERS chip, which is made of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 coated silver nanoparticles grown in situ on a silicon wafer. After SERS measurement, a fully connected deep neural network is built to extract faint features in the spectral dataset and discriminate volatile organic compound classes. We demonstrate that six kinds of gaseous aldehydes at 100 ppt could be detected and classified with an identification accuracy of ∼80.9% by using this platform.

Abstract
The accurate, sensitive, and selective on-site screening of volatile aldehyde biomarkers for lung cancer is of utmost significance for preclinical cancer diagnosis and treatment. Applying surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for gas sensing remains difficult due to the small Raman cross section of most gaseous molecules and interference from other components in exhaled breath. Using an Au asymmetrically coated TiO2 nanochannel membrane (Au/TiO2 NM) as the substrate, a ZIF-8-covered Au/TiO2 NM SERS sensing substrate is designed for the detection of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Au/TiO2 NM provides uniformly amplified Raman signals for trace measurements in this design. Importantly, the interfacial nanocavities between Au nanoparticles (NPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) served as gaseous confinement cavities, which is the key to enhancing the capture and adsorption ability toward gaseous analytes. Both ends of the membrane are left open, allowing gas molecules to pass through. This facilitates the diffusion of gaseous molecules and efficient capture of the target analyte. Using benzaldehyde as a typical gas marker model of lung cancer, the Schiff base reaction with a Raman-active probe molecule 4-aminothiophene (4-ATP) pregrafted on Au NPs enabled trace and multicomponent detection. Moreover, the combination of machine learning (ML) and Raman spectroscopy eliminates subjective assessments of gaseous aldehyde species with the use of a single feature peak, allowing for more accurate identification. This membrane sensing device offers a promising design for the development of a desktop SERS analysis system for lung cancer point-of-care testing (POCT).

Abstract
Molecular-level understandings of gas sensing mechanisms of oxide-based chemiresistors are significant for designing high-performance gas sensors; however, the mechanisms are still controversial due to the lack of direct experimental evidence. This work demonstrates efficient in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) tracing of the highly representative SnO2-ethanol gas sensing using Au@SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs), where the Au core and SnO2 shell provide SERS activity and a gas sensing response, respectively. The in situ SERS evidence suggests that the sensing follows a Mars-van Krevelen mechanism rather than the prevailing adsorbed oxygen (AO) model. This mechanism is also observed in sensing other gases based on the Au@SnO2 NPs, showing its universality. This work offers efficient in situ tracing for gas sensing and experimental elucidation of the specific gas sensing mechanism, potentially ending the long-term controversy over the gas sensing mechanisms. Therefore, it is highly significant to this field.

Abstract
Integrating plasmonic nanoparticles into the photoactive metal-organic matrix is highly desirable due to the plasmonic near field enhancement, complementary light absorption, and accelerated separation of photogenerated charge carriers at the junction interface. The construction of a well-defined, intimate interface is vital for efficient charge carrier separation, however, it remains a challenge in synthesis. Here we synthesize a junction bearing intimate interface, composed of plasmonic Ag nanoparticles and matrix with silver node via a facile one-step approach. The plasmonic effect of Ag nanoparticles on the matrix is visualized through electron energy loss mapping. Moreover, charge carrier transfer from the plasmonic nanoparticles to the matrix is verified through ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy and in-situ photoelectron spectroscopy. The system delivers highly efficient visible-light photocatalytic H2 generation, surpassing most reported metal-organic framework-based photocatalytic systems. This work sheds light on effective electronic and energy bridging between plasmonic nanoparticles and organic semiconductors.

Abstract
Speedy, point-of-need detection and monitoring of small-molecule metabolites are vital across diverse applications ranging from biomedicine to agri-food and environmental surveillance. Nanomaterial-based sensor (nanosensor) platforms are rapidly emerging as excellent candidates for versatile and ultrasensitive detection owing to their highly configurable optical, electrical and electrochemical properties, fast readout, as well as portability and ease of use. To translate nanosensor technologies for real-world applications, key challenges to overcome include ultralow analyte concentration down to ppb or nM levels, complex sample matrices with numerous interfering species, difficulty in differentiating isomers and structural analogues, as well as complex, multidimensional datasets of high sample variability. In this Perspective, we focus on contemporary and emerging strategies to address the aforementioned challenges and enhance nanosensor detection performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and multiplexing capability. We outline 3 main concepts: (1) customization of designer nanosensor platform configurations via chemical- and physical-based modification strategies, (2) development of hybrid techniques including multimodal and hyphenated techniques, and (3) synergistic use of machine learning such as clustering, classification and regression algorithms for data exploration and predictions. These concepts can be further integrated as multifaceted strategies to further boost nanosensor performances. Finally, we present a critical outlook that explores future opportunities toward the design of next-generation nanosensor platforms for rapid, point-of-need detection of various small-molecule metabolites.

Abstract
Hybrid materials of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention because of the wide variety of attractive properties derived from the two components. In the last decade, the development of synthesis techniques for NP/MOF composites was particularly significant. In the field of catalysis in particular, various synergistic effects that make the composites attractive catalysts have been reported. However, the role of MOFs in the composite catalysts is still not well understood and is being elucidated. In this feature article, we focus on recent progress in NP/MOF composite catalysts, concentrating on the analysis of the interaction between NPs and MOFs and the reaction mechanisms, together with the synthetic techniques used for NP/MOF hybrid materials.

Abstract
Professor Chia-Kuang (Frank) Tsung made his scientific impact primarily through the atomic-level design of nanoscale materials for application in heterogeneous catalysis. He approached this challenge from two directions: above and below the material surface. Below the surface, Prof. Tsung synthesized finely controlled nanoparticles, primarily of noble metals and metal oxides, tailoring their composition and surface structure for efficient catalysis. Above the surface, he was among the first to leverage the tunability and stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve heterogeneous, molecular, and biocatalysts. This article, written by his former students, seeks first to commemorate Prof. Tsung's scientific accomplishments in three parts: (1) rationally designing nanocrystal surfaces to promote catalytic activity; (2) encapsulating nanocrystals in MOFs to improve catalyst selectivity; and (3) tuning the host-guest interaction between MOFs and guest molecules to inhibit catalyst degradation. The subsequent discussion focuses on building on the foundation laid by Prof. Tsung and on his considerable influence on his former group members and collaborators, both inside and outside of the lab.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising ultrasensitive analysis technology due to outstanding molecular fingerprint identification. However, the measured molecules generally need to be adsorbed on a SERS substrate, which makes it difficult to detect weakly adsorbed molecules, for example, the volatile organic compound (VOC) molecules. Herein, we developed a kind of a SERS detection method for weak adsorption molecules with Au@ZIF-8 core-shell nanoparticles (NPs). The well-uniformed single- and multicore-shell NPs can be synthesized controllably, and the shell thickness of the ZIF-8 was able to be precisely controlled (from 3 to 50 nm) to adjust the distance and electromagnetic fields between metal nanoparticles. After analyzing the chemical and physical characterization, Au@ZIF-8 core-shell NPs were employed to detect VOC gas by SERS. In contrast with multicore or thicker-shell nanoparticles, Au@ZIF-8 with a shell thickness of 3 nm could efficiently probe various VOC gas molecules, such as toluene, ethylbenzene, and chlorobenzene. Besides, we were capable of observing the process of toluene gas adsorption and desorption using real-time SERS technology. As observed from the experimental results, this core-shell nanostructure has a promising prospect in diverse gas detection and is expected to be applied to the specific identification of intermediates in catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Putrescine and cadaverine are important volatile indicators for the evaluation of food spoilage. In this study, a metal-organic framework (MOF)-coated surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) paper platform for the detection of putrescine and cadaverine is developed. Au@ zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) SERS paper is fabricated by the coating of ZIF-8 layer on a Au nanoparticle-impregnated paper that is prepared by dry plasma reduction. The Au@ZIF-8 SERS paper is characterized by scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and N2 sorption isotherm. The ZIF-8 layer enables the accumulation of gaseous molecules and also provides enhancement of SERS signals. The fluorescence, SERS, and simulation results prove the improved detection ability of the Au@ZIF-8 platform for the volatile molecules. For the selective detection of putrescine and cadaverine, the Au@ZIF-8 SERS paper is functionalized with 4-mercatobenzaldehyde (4-MBA). The 4-MBA molecule acts as a Raman reporter and also a specific receptor for the volatile amine molecules. Using the intensity ratiometric detection of 4-MBA-functionalized Au@ZIF-8 SERS paper, putrescine and cadaverine are quantitatively detected with detection limits of 76.99 and 115.88 parts per billion, respectively. Furthermore, the detection of volatile amine molecules released from spoiled salmon, chicken, beef, and pork samples is demonstrated. It is anticipated that the MOF-coated SERS paper platforms will be applicable not only in food safety but other applications including disease diagnosis and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Integrating machine learning with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) accelerates the development of practical sensing devices. Such integration, in combination with direct detection or indirect analyte capturing strategies, is key to achieving high predictive accuracies even in complex matrices. However, in-depth understanding of spectral variations arising from specific chemical interactions is essential to prevent model overfit. Herein, we design a machine-learning-driven "SERS taster" to simultaneously harness useful vibrational information from multiple receptors for enhanced multiplex profiling of five wine flavor molecules at parts-per-million levels. Our receptors employ numerous noncovalent interactions to capture chemical functionalities within flavor molecules. By strategically combining all receptor-flavor SERS spectra, we construct comprehensive "SERS superprofiles" for predictive analytics using chemometrics. We elucidate crucial molecular-level interactions in flavor identification and further demonstrate the differentiation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol functionalities. Our SERS taster also achieves perfect accuracies in multiplex flavor quantification in an artificial wine matrix.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles have recently emerged as a promising platform for photocatalysis thanks to their ability to efficiently harvest and convert light into highly energetic charge carriers and heat. The catalytic properties of metallic nanoparticles, however, are typically measured in ensemble experiments. These measurements, while providing statistically significant information, often mask the intrinsic heterogeneity of the catalyst particles and their individual dynamic behavior. For this reason, single particle approaches are now emerging as a powerful tool to unveil the structure-function relationship of plasmonic nanocatalysts. In this Perspective, we highlight two such techniques based on far-field optical microscopy: surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. We first discuss their working principles and then show how they are applied to the in-situ study of catalysis and photocatalysis on single plasmonic nanoparticles. To conclude, we provide our vision on how these techniques can be further applied to tackle current open questions in the field of plasmonic chemistry.

Abstract
Controlling selectivity between competing reaction pathways is crucial in catalysis. Several approaches have been proposed to achieve this goal in traditional heterogeneous catalysts including tuning nanoparticle size, varying alloy composition, and controlling supporting material. A less explored and promising research area to control reaction selectivity is via the use of hybrid organic/inorganic catalysts. These materials contain inorganic components which serve as sites for chemical reactions and organic components which either provide diffusional control or directly participate in the formation of active site motifs. Despite the appealing potential of these hybrid materials to increase reaction selectivity, there are significant challenges to the rational design of such hybrid nanostructures. Structural and mechanistic characterization of these materials play a key role in understanding and, therefore, designing these organic/inorganic hybrid catalysts. This Outlook highlights the design of hybrid organic/inorganic catalysts with a brief overview of four different classes of materials and discusses the practical catalytic properties and opportunities emerging from such designs in the area of energy and environmental transformations. Key structural and mechanistic characterization studies are identified to provide fundamental insight into the atomic structure and catalytic behavior of hybrid organic/inorganic catalysts. Exemplary works are used to show how specific active site motifs allow for remarkable changes in the reaction selectivity. Finally, to demonstrate the potential of hybrid catalyst materials, we suggest a characterization-based approach toward the design of biomimetic hybrid organic/inorganic materials for a specific application in the energy and environmental research space: the conversion of methane into methanol.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), built from organic linkers and metal ions/clusters, have emerged as highly promising materials for wide applications. Combining highly porous crystalline MOFs with the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique can achieve unprecedented advantages of high selectivity, high sensitivity, and expedience in analysis and detection. In this critical review, the aim is to present a comprehensive review of recent advances in understanding of the roles of MOFs in MOF-SERS systems, particularly their structure-to-property correlation. Key examples are selected from representative literature to illustrate critical concepts and the MOF-based property-dependent applications are particularly emphasized. Finally, the barriers, future trends, and prospects for further advances in MOF-SERS platforms are also discussed.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 (CO2ER) to liquid fuels is important for solving fossil fuel depletion. However, insufficient insight into the reaction mechanisms renders a lack of effective regulation of liquid product selectivity. Here, in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) empowered by 13C/12C isotope exchange is applied to probing the CO2ER process on nanoporous silver (np-Ag). Direct spectroscopic evidence of the preliminary intermediates, *COOH and *OCO-, indicates that CO2 is coordinated to the catalyst via diverse adsorption modes. Further, the relative Raman intensities of the above intermediates vary notably on np-Ag modified by Cu or Pd, and the liquid product selectivity also changes accordingly. Combined with density functional theory calculations, this study demonstrates that the CO2 adsorption configuration is a critical factor governing the reaction selectivity. Meanwhile, *COOH and *OCO- are key targets in the initial stage regulating liquid product selectivity, which could facilitate future selective catalyst design.

Applying a Nanoparticle@MOF Interface To Activate an Unconventional Regioselectivity of an Inert Reaction at Ambient Conditions. J Am Chem Soc 2020; 142:11521-11527.

Abstract
Here we design an interface between a metal nanoparticle (NP) and a metal-organic framework (MOF) to activate an inert CO2 carboxylation reaction and in situ monitor its unconventional regioselectivity at the molecular level. Using a Kolbe-Schmitt reaction as model, our strategy exploits the NP@MOF interface to create a pseudo high-pressure CO2 microenvironment over the phenolic substrate to drive its direct C-H carboxylation at ambient conditions. Conversely, Kolbe-Schmitt reactions usually demand high reaction temperature (>125 °C) and pressure (>80 atm). Notably, we observe an unprecedented CO2 meta-carboxylation of an arene that was previously deemed impossible in traditional Kolbe-Schmitt reactions. While the phenolic substrate in this study is fixed at the NP@MOF interface to facilitate spectroscopic investigations, free reactants could be activated the same way by the local pressurized CO2 microenvironment. These valuable insights create enormous opportunities in diverse applications including synthetic chemistry, gas valorization, and greenhouse gas remediation.

Abstract
The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Significant experimental and theoretical effort has been directed toward understanding the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and demonstrating its potential in various types of ultrasensitive sensing applications in a wide variety of fields. In the 45 years since its discovery, SERS has blossomed into a rich area of research and technology, but additional efforts are still needed before it can be routinely used analytically and in commercial products. In this Review, prominent authors from around the world joined together to summarize the state of the art in understanding and using SERS and to predict what can be expected in the near future in terms of research, applications, and technological development. This Review is dedicated to SERS pioneer and our coauthor, the late Prof. Richard Van Duyne, whom we lost during the preparation of this article.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensors utilize the electromagnetic-field enhancement of plasmonic substrates with the chemical specificity of vibrational Raman spectroscopy to identify trace amounts of a wide variety of different target analytes while being minimally affected by photobleaching. However, despite many advantageous features of this method, SERS sensors, particularly for detecting hazardous chemicals, suffer from several limitations such as requirement of gigantic signal enhancement that is often poorly controllable, subtle change and degradation of the SERS substrate, consecutive fluctuation of the signal, the lack of reliable receptors for capturing targets of interest and the absence of general principles for detecting various chemicals in different phases and matrices. To overcome these limitations and for SERS sensors to find practical use, one must (1) acknowledge the characteristics of the matrices of target systems, (2) finely engineer and tune the receptors of the SERS sensor to properly extract the target analyte from the phase, and (3) implement additional mechanistic modifications to enhance the plasmonic signal. This minireview underlines the difficulties associated with different phases and a wide range of target analytes, and introduces the practical measures undertaken to overcome the respective difficulties in SERS-based detection of hazardous chemicals.

Abstract
Stand-off Raman spectroscopy combines the advantages of both Raman spectroscopy and remote detection to retrieve molecular vibrational fingerprints of chemicals at inaccessible sites. However, it is currently restricted to the detection of pure solids and liquids and not widely applicable for dispersed molecules in air. Herein, we realize real-time stand-off SERS spectroscopy for remote and multiplex detection of atmospheric airborne species by integrating a long-range optic system with a 3D analyte-sorbing metal-organic framework (MOF)-integrated SERS platform. Formed via the self-assembly of Ag@MOF core-shell nanoparticles, our 3D plasmonic architecture exhibits micrometer thick SERS hotspot to allow active sorption and rapid detection of aerosols, gas, and volatile organic compounds down to parts-per-billion levels, notably at a distance up to 10 m apart. The platform is highly sensitive to changes in atmospheric content, as demonstrated in the temporal monitoring of gaseous CO2 in several cycles. Importantly, we demonstrate the remote and multiplex quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures in real time under outdoor daylight. By overcoming core challenges in current remote Raman spectroscopy, our strategy creates an opportunity in the long-distance and sensitive monitoring of air/gaseous environment at the molecular level, which is especially important in environmental conservation, disaster prevention, and homeland defense.

Abstract
All chemical reactions can be divided into a series of single molecule reactions (SMRs), the elementary steps that involve only isomerization of, dissociation from, and addition to an individual molecule. Analyzing SMRs is of paramount importance to identify the intrinsic molecular mechanism of a complex chemical reaction, which is otherwise implausible to reveal in an ensemble fashion, owing to the significant static and dynamic heterogeneity of real-world chemical systems. The single-molecule measurement and manipulation methods developed recently are playing an increasingly irreplaceable role to detect and recognize short-lived intermediates, visualize their transient existence, and determinate the kinetics and dynamics of single bond breaking and formation. Notably, none of the above SMRs characterizations can be realized without the aid of a confined space. Therefore, this Review aims to highlight the recent progress in the development of confined space enabled single-molecule sensing, imaging, and tuning methods to study chemical reactions. Future prospects of SMRs research are also included, including a push toward the physical limit on transduction of information to signals and vice versa, transmission and recording of signals, computational modeling and simulation, and rational design of a confined space for precise SMRs.

Abstract
Mimicking photosynthesis in generating chemical fuels from sunlight is a promising strategy to alleviate society's demand for fossil fuels. However, this approach involves a number of challenges that must be overcome before this concept can emerge as a viable solution to society's energy demand. Particularly in artificial photosynthesis, the catalytic chemistry that converts energy in the form of electricity into carbon-based fuels and chemicals has yet to be developed. Here, we describe the foundational work and future prospects of an emerging and promising class of materials: metal- and covalent-organic frameworks (MOFs and COFs). Within this context, these porous and tuneable framework materials have achieved initial success in converting abundant feedstocks (H2 O and CO2 ) into chemicals and fuels. In this review, we first highlight key achievements in this direction. We then follow with a perspective on precisely how MOFs and COFs can perform in ways not possible with conventional molecular or heterogeneous catalysts. We conclude with a view on how spectroscopically probing MOF and COF catalysis can be used to elucidate reaction mechanisms and material dynamics throughout the course of reaction.

Abstract
A core-shell configuration of the zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-8) wrapped urchin-like Au-Ag alloyed nanocrystals (UAANs) were designed and fabricated via adding the pre-formed plasmonic nanoparticles into the ZIF-8 precursor solution with hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The UAANs are about 100 nm in size with high-density tips. The ZIF-8 shell layer is nanoporous and can be controlled in thickness from 10 nm to 40 nm by the CTAB concentration. Importantly, such ZIF-8 wrapped UAANs can be used as the highly efficient surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates for detection of the trace hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) molecules. The ZIF-8 shell layer with an appropriate thickness (-∼20 nm) can evidently increase the SERS performance of the UAANs to the trace γ-HCH and α-HCH. Such wrapping-enhanced SERS effect significantly increases, by a power function, with the decreasing HCH concentration, especially in the concentration below 10-6 M, which is attributed to the ever-increasing enrichment effect to the HCH molecules. The detection limit is down below 1.5 ppb. This work presents a highly efficient substrate for the SERS-based detection of the trace HCH, and also displays the potential application in the SERS detection of volatile small molecules.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a molecule-specific spectroscopic technique with diverse applications in (bio)chemistry, clinical diagnosis and toxin sensing. While hotspot engineering has expedited SERS development, it is still challenging to detect molecules with no specific affinity to plasmonic surfaces. With the aim of improving detection performances, we venture beyond hotspot engineering in this tutorial review and focus on emerging material design strategies to capture and confine analytes near SERS-active surfaces as well as various promising hybrid SERS platforms. We outline five major approaches to enhance SERS performance: (1) enlarging Raman scattering cross-sections of non-resonant molecules via chemical coupling reactions; (2) targeted chemical capturing of analytes through surface-grafted agents to localize them on plasmonic surfaces; (3) physically confining liquid analytes on non-wetting SERS-active surfaces and (4) confining gaseous analytes using porous materials over SERS hotspots; (5) synergizing conventional metal-based SERS platforms with functional materials such as graphene, semiconducting materials, and piezoelectric polymers. These approaches can be integrated with engineered hotspots as a multifaceted strategy to further boost SERS sensitivities that are unachievable using hotspot engineering alone. Finally, we highlight current challenges in this research area and suggest new research directions towards efficient SERS designs critical for real-world applications.

Abstract
Gas-liquid reactions form the basis of our everyday lives, yet they still suffer poor reaction efficiency and are difficult to monitor in situ, especially at ambient conditions. Now, an inert gas-liquid reaction between aniline and CO2 is driven at 1 atm and 298 K by selectively concentrating these immiscible reactants at the interface between metal-organic framework and solid nanoparticles (solid@MOF). Real-time reaction SERS monitoring and simulations affirm the formation of phenylcarbamic acid, which was previously undetectable because they are unstable for post-reaction treatments. The solid@MOF ensemble gives rise to a more than 28-fold improvement to reaction efficiency as compared to ZIF-only and solid-only platforms, emphasizing that the interfacial nanocavities in solid@MOF are the key to enhance the gas-liquid reaction. Our strategy can be integrated with other functional materials, thus opening up new opportunities for ambient-operated gas-liquid applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical nitrogen-to-ammonia fixation is emerging as a sustainable strategy to tackle the hydrogen- and energy-intensive operations by Haber-Bosch process for ammonia production. However, current electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) progress is impeded by overwhelming competition from the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) across all traditional NRR catalysts and the requirement for elevated temperature/pressure. We achieve both excellent NRR selectivity (~90%) and a significant boost to Faradic efficiency by 10 percentage points even at ambient operations by coating a superhydrophobic metal-organic framework (MOF) layer over the NRR electrocatalyst. Our reticular chemistry approach exploits MOF's water-repelling and molecular-concentrating effects to overcome HER-imposed bottlenecks, uncovering the unprecedented electrochemical features of NRR critical for future theoretical studies. By favoring the originally unfavored NRR, we envisage our electrocatalytic design as a starting point for high-performance nitrogen-to-ammonia electroconversion directly from water vapor-abundant air to address increasing global demand of ammonia in (bio)chemical and energy industries.

Abstract
Chemical activity of single nanoparticles can be imaged and determined by monitoring the optical signal of each individual during chemical reactions with advanced optical microscopes. It allows for clarifying the functional heterogeneity among individuals, and for uncovering the microscopic reaction mechanisms and kinetics that could otherwise be averaged out in ensemble measurements.
