Abstract
Direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol is more appealing in the industry for the economic and environmentally friendly phenol synthesis than the conventional cumene process. We have developed a UiO-metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported mono bipyridyl-Iron(II) hydroxyl catalyst [bpy-UiO-Fe(OH)2] for the selective benzene hydroxylation into phenol using H2O2 as the oxidant. The heterogeneous bpy-UiO-Fe(OH)2 catalyst showed high activity and remarkable phenol selectivity of 99%, giving the phenol mass-specific activity up to 1261 mmolPhOHgFe-1 h-1 at 60 °C. Bpy-UiO-Fe(OH)2 is significantly more active and selective than its homogeneous counterpart, bipyridine-Fe(OH)2. This enhanced catalytic activity of bpy-UiO-Fe(OH)2 over its homogeneous control is attributed to the active site isolation of the bpy-Fe(OH)2 moiety by the solid MOF that prevents intermolecular decomposition. Moreover, the exceptional selectivity of bpy-UiO-Fe(OH)2 in benzene to phenol conversion is originated via shape-selective catalysis, where the confined reaction space within the porous UiO-MOF prevents the formation of larger overoxidized products such as hydroquinone or benzoquinone, leading to the formation of only smaller-sized phenol after monohydroxylation of benzene. Spectroscopic and controlled experiments and theoretical calculations elucidated the reaction pathway, in which the in situ generated •OH radical mediated by bpy-UiO-FeII(OH)2 is the key species for benzene hydroxylation. This work underscores the significance of MOF-supported earth-abundant metal catalysts for sustainable production of fine chemicals.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403017. [PMID: 38429994 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2024] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Crafting single-atom catalysts (SACs) that possess "just right" modulated electronic and geometric structures, granting accessible active sites for direct room-temperature benzene oxidation is a coveted objective. However, achieving this goal remains a formidable challenge. Here, we introduce an innovative in situ phosphorus-immitting strategy using a new phosphorus source (phosphorus nitride, P3N5) to construct the phosphorus-rich copper (Cu) SACs, designated as Cu/NPC. These catalysts feature locally protruding metal sites on a nitrogen (N)-phosphorus (P)-carbon (C) support (NPC). Rigorous analyses, including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), validate the coordinated bonding of nitrogen and phosphorus with atomically dispersed Cu sites on NPC. Crucially, systematic first-principles calculations, coupled with the climbing image nudged-elastic-band (CI-NEB) method, provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure-property-activity relationship of the distorted Cu-N2P2 centers in Cu/NPC for selective oxidation of benzene to phenol production. Interestingly, Cu/NPC has shown more energetically favorable C-H bond activation compared to the benchmark Cu/NC SACs in the direct oxidation of benzene, resulting in outstanding benzene conversion (50.3 %) and phenol selectivity (99.3 %) at room temperature. Furthermore, Cu/NPC achieves a remarkable turnover frequency of 263 h-1 and mass-specific activity of 35.2 mmol g-1 h-1, surpassing the state-of-the-art benzene-to-phenol conversion catalysts to date.

Abstract
Ammonia is a valuable feedstock for most chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fertilizer products. It is a promising carbon-free energy source. Under severe experimental circumstances (high temperature and high pressure), ammonia is manufactured industrially using the standard Haber-Bosch process. This process uses a lot of energy and emits a huge amount of CO2 into the environment. One method that is seen to be promising and could eventually replace the Haber-Bosch process is the electrocatalytic production of ammonia. However, in ambient conditions, the cleavage of the nitrogen molecule is exceedingly difficult. As a result, the yield of ammonia remains modest and the study's scope is still restricted to the lab. When the catalytic performance is significantly increased, nitrate and nitrite contaminations in water systems can be effectively removed and simultaneously transformed into energy sources if nitrites or nitrates are employed as nitrogen sources instead of nitrogen gas. This may become a new substitute for the synthesis of ammonia, but nitrate and nitrite reduction are not getting enough attention. In this review, we discuss the performance of the electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction, which includes cycling stability, reactivity, selectivity, and faradaic efficiency. Following this summary, we look into the crucial elements, the rate-determining step, and the reaction mechanisms that govern the performance of the nitrate reduction reaction. In order to support the practical use of the electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction, we finally provided a summary of the challenges and future directions guiding the design of efficient catalyst and reaction systems.

Abstract
Unique active sites make single-atom (SA) catalysts promising to overcome obstacles in homogeneous catalysis but challenging due to their fixed coordination environment. Click chemistry is restricted by the low activity of more available Cu(II) catalysts without reducing agents. Herein, we develop efficient, O-coordinated SA Cu(II) directly catalyzed click chemistry. As revealed by theoretical calculations of the superior coordination structure to promote the click reaction, an organic molecule-assisted strategy is applied to prepare the corresponding SA Cu catalysts with respective O and N coordination. Although they both belong to Cu(II) centers, the O-coordinated one exhibits a 5-fold higher activity than the other and even much better activity than traditional homogeneous and heterogeneous Cu(II) catalysts. Control experiments further proved that the O-coordinated SA Cu(II) catalyst tends to be reduced by alkyne into Cu acetylide rather than the N-coordinated catalyst and thus facilitates click chemistry.

Highly active electroreduction of nitrates to ammonia over a zeolitic imidazolium framework-derived Fe single-atom catalyst with sulfur-modified asymmetric active centers. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133484.

Abstract
The electroreduction of aqueous nitrate (NO3-) to ammonium is an energy-efficient process that helps protect the environment and facilitates ammonia production. However, a fine optimization of the catalyst structure containing active centers should be performed to improve the efficiencies of NO3- reduction and NH4+ production. Herein, a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-derived sulfur-modified Fe single-atom catalyst is developed as an efficient and durable cathode material. Experimental and theoretical studies confirm the role of S-doping in modifying the electron density distribution of Fe centers, promoting the interaction between the Fe 3d orbital and O 2p orbital of NO3- and thereby enhancing its catalytic performance. A Faradaic efficiency of 93.9% for NH4+ production at - 0.47 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode is achieved, which remains at 91.0% even after six cycles. A synergistic effect between a defect-rich support and metal atom centers can be utilized to develop a new strategy for the facile design and implementation of high-performance electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The development of high-performing cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) is highly important for the future large-scale energy storage. Owing to the distinctive framework structure, diversity of valences, and high electrochemical activity, spinel materials have been widely investigated and used for aqueous ZIBs. However, the stubborn issues of low electrical conductivity and sluggish kinetics plague their smooth applications in aqueous ZIBs, which stimulates the development of effective strategies to address these issues. This review highlights the recent advances of spinel-based cathode materials that include the configuration of aqueous ZIBs and corresponding reaction mechanisms. Subsequently, the classifications of spinel materials and their properties are also discussed. Then, the review mainly summarizes the effective strategies for elevating their electrochemical performance, including their morphology and structure design, defect engineering, heteroatom doping, and coupling with a conductive support. In the final section, several sound prospects in this fervent field are also proposed for future research and applications.

Abstract
Understanding the structure-stability relationship of catalysts is imperative for the development of high-performance electrocatalytic devices. Herein, we utilize operando attenuated total reflectance surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS) to quantitatively monitor the evolution of Cu single-atom catalysts (SACs) during the electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR). Cu SACs are converted into 2-nm Cu nanoparticles through a reconstruction process during CO2RR. The evolution rate of Cu SACs is highly dependent on the substrates of the catalysts due to the coordination difference. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the stability of Cu SACs is highly dependent on their formation energy, which can be manipulated by controlling the affinity between Cu sites and substrates. This work highlights the use of operando ATR-SEIRAS to achieve mechanistic understanding of structure-stability relationship for long-term applications.

Abstract
The study of cellular responses linked to oxidative stress mechanisms is crucial in comprehending diverse physiological and pathological life processes, including mitochondrial dysfunction. Nonetheless, despite the interference of O2, the monitoring of ROS released from cells poses a challenging task. In this study, carbon-based copper single-atom catalysts (Cu SACs) were synthesized that exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance for H2O2 reduction with an initial potential at 0.23 V and effectively avoids interference from O2. Based on this catalyst, a flexible and stretchable oxygen-tolerant sensor was constructed and applied to monitor the calcium ion-induced ROS burst in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a simulated physiological condition. This study effectively eradicates interference that may arise from the reduction of O2 and presents a dependable platform for real-time in situ monitoring of physiologically active molecules by utilizing H2O2 detection.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) involves a variety of intermediates with highly correlated reaction and ad-desorption energies, hindering optimization of the catalytic activity. For example, increasing the binding of the *COOH to the active site will generally increase the *CO desorption energy. Breaking this relationship may be expected to dramatically improve the intrinsic activity of CO2RR, but remains an unsolved challenge. Herein, we addressed this conundrum by constructing a unique atomic dispersed hetero-pair consisting of Mo-Fe di-atoms anchored on N-doped carbon carrier. This system shows an unprecedented CO2RR intrinsic activity with TOF of 3336 h-1, high selectivity toward CO production, Faradaic efficiency of 95.96% at - 0.60 V and excellent stability. Theoretical calculations show that the Mo-Fe diatomic sites increased the *COOH intermediate adsorption energy by bridging adsorption of *COOH intermediates. At the same time, d-d orbital coupling in the Mo-Fe di-atom results in electron delocalization and facilitates desorption of *CO intermediates. Thus, the undesirable correlation between these steps is broken. This work provides a promising approach, specifically the use of di-atoms, for breaking unfavorable relationships based on understanding of the catalytic mechanisms at the atomic scale.

Abstract
Recently, single-atom nanozymes have made significant progress in the fields of sterilization and treatment, but their catalytic performance as substitutes for natural enzymes and drugs is far from satisfactory. Here, a method is reported to improve enzyme activity by adjusting the spatial position of a single-atom site on the nanoplatforms. Two types of Cu single-atom site nanozymes are synthesized in the interlayer (CuL /PHI) and in-plane (CuP /PHI) of poly (heptazine imide) (PHI) through different synthesis pathways. Experimental and theoretical analysis indicates that the interlayer position of PHI can effectively adjust the coordination number, coordination bond length, and electronic structure of Cu single atoms compared to the in-plane position, thereby promoting photoinduced electron migration and O2 activation, enabling effective generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic bactericidal activity of CuL /PHI against aureus is ≈100%, achieving the same antibacterial effect as antibiotics, after 10 min of low-dose light exposure and 2 h of incubation.

Abstract
Surface antibacterial coatings with outstanding antibacterial efficiency have attracted increasing attention in medical protective clothing and cotton surgical clothing. Although nanozymes, as a new generation of antibiotics, are used to combat bacteria, their catalytic performance remains far from satisfactory as alternatives to natural enzymes. Single-atom nanodots provide a solution to the low catalytic activity bottleneck of nanozymes. Here, atomically thin C3 N4 nanodots supported single Cu atom nanozymes (Cu-CNNDs) are developed by a self-tailoring approach, which exhibits catalytic efficiency of 8.09 × 105 M-1 s-1 , similar to that of natural enzyme. Experimental and theoretical calculations show that excellent peroxidase-like activity stems from the size effect of carrier optimizing the coordination structure, leading to full exposure of Cu-N3 active site, which improves the ability of H2 O2 to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Notably, Cu-CNNDs exhibit over 99% superior antibacterial efficacy and are successfully grafted onto cotton fabrics. Thus, Cu-CNNDs blaze an avenue for exquisite biomimetic nanozyme design and have great potential applications in antibacterial textiles.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient catalytic sites for O2 reduction to H2 O2 , while ensuring the fast injection of energetic electrons into these sites, is crucial for artificial H2 O2 photosynthesis but remains challenging. Herein, we report a strongly coupled hybrid photocatalyst comprising polymeric carbon nitride (CN) and a two-dimensional conductive Zn-containing metal-organic framework (Zn-MOF) (denoted as CN/Zn-MOF(lc)/400; lc, low crystallinity; 400, annealing temperature in °C), in which the catalytic capability of Zn-MOF(lc) for H2 O2 production is unlocked by the annealing-induced effects. As revealed by experimental and theoretical calculation results, the Zn sites coordinated to four O (Zn-O4 ) in Zn-MOF(lc) are thermally activated to a relatively electron-rich state due to the annealing-induced local structure shrinkage, which favors the formation of a key *OOH intermediate of 2e- O2 reduction on these sites. Moreover, the annealing treatment facilitates the photoelectron migration from the CN photocatalyst to the Zn-MOF(lc) catalytic unit. As a result, the optimized catalyst exhibits dramatically enhanced H2 O2 production activity and excellent stability under visible light irradiation.

Abstract
Phenol is one of the most important fine chemical intermediates in the synthesis of plastics and drugs with a market size of ca. $30b1 and the commercial production is via a two-step selective oxidation of benzene, requiring high energy input (high temperature and high pressure) in the presence of a corrosive acidic medium, and causing serious environmental issues2-5. Here we present a four-phase interface strategy with well-designed Pd@Cu nanoarchitecture decorated TiO2 as a catalyst in a suspension system. The optimised catalyst leads to a turnover number of 16,000-100,000 for phenol generation with respect to the active sites and an excellent selectivity of ca. 93%. Such unprecedented results are attributed to the efficient activation of benzene by the atomically Cu coated Pd nanoarchitecture, enhanced charge separation, and an oxidant-lean environment. The rational design of catalyst and reaction system provides a green pathway for the selective conversion of symmetric organic molecules.

Abstract
Self-adaptability is highly envisioned for artificial devices such as robots with chemical noses. For this goal, seeking catalysts with multiple and modulable reaction pathways is promising but generally hampered by inconsistent reaction conditions and negative internal interferences. Herein, we report an adaptable graphitic C6N6-based copper single-atom catalyst. It drives the basic oxidation of peroxidase substrates by a bound copper-oxo pathway, and undertakes a second gain reaction triggered by light via a free hydroxyl radical pathway. Such multiformity of reactive oxygen-related intermediates for the same oxidation reaction makes the reaction conditions capable to be the same. Moreover, the unique topological structure of CuSAC6N6 along with the specialized donor-π-acceptor linker promotes intramolecular charge separation and migration, thus inhibiting negative interferences of the above two reaction pathways. As a result, a sound basic activity and a superb gain of up to 3.6 times under household lights are observed, superior to that of the controls, including peroxidase-like catalysts, photocatalysts, or their mixtures. CuSAC6N6 is further applied to a glucose biosensor, which can intelligently switch sensitivity and linear detection range in vitro.

Abstract
Fine constructing the chemical environment of the central metal is vital in developing efficient single-atom catalysts (SACs). Herein, the atomically dispersed Cu on the N-doped carbon is modulated by introducing CuP moiety to CuNC SAC. Through fine-tuning with another heteroatom P, the Cu SAC shows the superior performance of ethylene oxychlorination. The Cu site activity of Cu-NPC is four times higher than the P-free Cu-NC catalyst and 25 times higher than the Ce-promoted CuCl2 /Al2 O3 catalyst in the long-term test (>200 h). The selectivity of ethylene dichloride can be splendidly kept at ≈99%. Combined experimental and simulation studies provide a theoretical framework for the coordination of Cu, N, and P in the complex active center and its role in effectively catalyzing ethylene oxychlorination. It integrates the oxidation and chlorination reactions with superior catalytic performance and unrivaled ability of corrosive-HCl resistance. The concept of fine constructing with another heteroatom is anticipated to provide with inspiration for rational catalyst design and expand the applications of carbon-based SACs in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Alkene functionalization with a single-atom catalyst (SAC) which merges homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis is a fascinating route to obtain high-value-added molecules. However, C-N bond formation of alkene with SAC is still unexplored. Herein, a bimetal-organic framework-derived Co-N/C catalyst with an atomically dispersed cobalt center is reported to show good activity of chemoselective aziridination/oxyamination reactions from alkene and hydroxylamine, and late-stage functionalization of complex alkenes and diversified synthetic transformations of the aziridine product further expand the utility of this method. Moreover, this system proceeds without external oxidants and exhibits mild, atom-economic, and recyclable characters. Detailed spectroscopic characterizations and mechanistic studies revealed the structure of the catalytic center and possible intermediates involved in the mechanism cycle.

Abstract
A fundamental understanding of the nature of nuclearity effects is important for the rational design of superior sub-nanocatalysts with low nuclearity, but remains a long-standing challenge. Using atomic layer deposition, we precisely synthesized Fe sub-nanocatalysts with tunable nuclearity (Fe1 -Fe4 ) anchored on N,O-co-doped carbon nanorods (NOC). The electronic properties and spin configuration of the Fe sub-nanocatalysts were nuclearity dependent and dominated the H2 O2 activation modes and adsorption strength of active O species on Fe sites toward C-H oxidation. The Fe1 -NOC single atom catalyst exhibits state-of-the-art activity for benzene oxidation to phenol, which is ascribed to its unique coordination environment (Fe1 N2 O3 ) and medium spin state (t2g 4 eg 1 ); turnover frequencies of 407 h-1 at 25 °C and 1869 h-1 at 60 °C were obtained, which is 3.4, 5.7, and 13.6 times higher than those of Fe dimer, trimer, and tetramer catalysts, respectively.

Abstract
Direct electrocatalytic oxidation of benzene has been regarded as a promising approach for achieving high-value phenol product, but remaining a huge challenge. Here an oxygen-coordinated nickel single-atom catalyst (Ni-O-C) is reported with bifunctional electrocatalytic activities toward the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) to H2 O2 and H2 O2 -assisted benzene oxidation to phenol. The Ni-(O-C2 )4 sites in Ni-O-C ar proven to be the catalytic active centers for bifunctional 2e- ORR and H2 O2 -assisted benzene oxidation processes. As a result, Ni-O-C can afford a benzene conversion as high as 96.4 ± 3.6% with a phenol selectivity of 100% and a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 80.2 ± 3.2% with the help of H2 O2 in 0.1 m KOH electrolyte at 1.5 V (vs RHE). A proof of concept experiment with Ni-O-C concurrently as cathode and anode in a single electrochemical cell demonstrates a benzene conversion of 33.4 ± 2.2% with a phenol selectivity of 100% and a FE of 44.8 ± 3.0% at 10 mA cm-2 .

Abstract
AbstractDeveloping highly efficient catalyst for selective oxidation of benzene to phenol (SOBP) with low H2O2 consumption is highly desirable for practical application, but challenge remains. Herein, we report unique single-atom Cu1-N1O2 coordination-structure on N/C material (Cu-N1O2 SA/CN), prepared by water molecule-mediated pre-assembly-pyrolysis method, can efficiently boost SOBP reaction at a 2:1 of low H2O2/benzene molar ratio, showing 83.7% of high benzene conversion with 98.1% of phenol selectivity. The Cu1-N1O2 sites can provide a preponderant reaction pathway for SOBP reaction with less steps and lower energy barrier. As a result, it shows an unexpectedly higher turnover frequency (435 h−1) than that of Cu1-N2 (190 h−1), Cu1-N3 (90 h−1) and Cu nanoparticle (58 h−1) catalysts, respectively. This work provides a facile and efficient method for regulating the electron configuration of single-atom catalyst and generates a highly active and selective non-precious metal catalyst for industrial production of phenol through selective oxidation of benzene.

Abstract
Direct hydroxylation of benzene towards phenol with high conversion and selectivity remains a great challenge. We report herein an efficient La2 CuO4 perovskite catalyst for one-step oxidation of benzene using hydrogen peroxide under mild conditions. The catalyst was characterized using XRD, TEM, XPS, TG-DTA, and other advanced techniques. The one-pot hydroxylation reaction carried out at 60 °C under optimum reaction conditions in the presence of catalytic material shows benzene to phenol transformation with 51% conversion with >99% selectivity with 65 percent peroxide efficiency, respectively. The influence of reaction conditions such as temperature, amount of oxidant, reaction time and mode of addition of the oxidant was crucial in selectivity optimization.

Abstract
Single-atom-site catalysts (SASCs) featuring maximized atom utilization and isolated active sites have progressed tremendously in recent years as a highly prosperous branch of catalysis research. Varieties of SASCs have been developed that show excellent performance in many catalytic applications. The major goal of SASC research is to establish feasible synthetic strategies for the preparation of high-performance catalysts, to achieve an in-depth understanding of the active-site structures and catalytic mechanisms, and to develop practical catalysts with industrial value. This Perspective describes the up-to-date development of SASCs and related catalysts, such as dual-atom-site catalysts (DASCs) and nano-single-atom-site catalysts (NSASCs), analyzes the current challenges encountered by these catalysts for industrial applications, and proposes their possible future development path.

Abstract
Phenol is an important chemical material that is widely used in industry. Currently, phenol is dominantly produced by the well−known three−step cumene process, which suffers from severe drawbacks. Therefore, developing a green, sustainable, and economical strategy for the production of phenol directly from benzene is urgently needed. In recent years, the photocatalytic hydroxylation of benzene to phenol, which is economically feasible and could be performed under mild conditions, has attracted more attention, and development of highly efficient photocatalyst would be a key issue in this field. In this review, we systematically introduce the recent achievements of photocatalytic hydroxylation of benzene to phenol from 2015 to mid−2022, and various heterogeneous photocatalysts are comprehensively reviewed, including semiconductors, polyoxometalates (POMs), graphitic carbon nitride (g−C3N4), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), carbon materials, and some other types of photocatalysts. Much effort is focused on the physical and chemical approaches for modification of these photocatalysts. The challenges and future promising directions for further enhancing the catalytic performances in photocatalytic hydroxylation of benzene are discussed in the end.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of CH bonds is one of the most important reactions in organic synthesis. However, activation of the α-CH bond of ethylbenzene by use of photocatalysis-generated superoxide anions (O2 •- ) remains a challenge. Herein, the formation of individual Fe atoms on polymeric carbon nitride (CN), that activates O2 to create O2 •- for facilitating the reaction of ethylbenzene to form acetophenone, is demonstrated. By utilizing density functional theory and materials characterization techniques, it is shown that individual Fe atoms are coordinated to four N atoms of CN and the resultant low-spin Fe-N4 system (t2g 6 eg 0 ) is not only a great adsorption site for oxygen molecules, but also allows for fast transfer of electrons generated in the CN framework to adsorbed O2 , producing O2 •- . The oxidation reaction of ethylbenzene triggered by O2 •- ions turns out to have a high conversion rate of 99% as well as an acetophenone selectivity of 99%, which can be ascribed to a novel reaction pathway that is different from the conventional route involving hydroxyl radicals and the production of phenethyl alcohol. Furthermore, it possesses great potential for other CH activation reactions besides ethylbenzene oxidation.

Abstract
To date, the scope of single-atom catalysts (SAC) in liquid-phase transformations is rather limited owing to stability issues and the inability to activate complex substances. This calls for a better design of the catalyst support that can provide a dynamic coordination environment needed for catalytic action, and yet retain robustness against leaching or aggregation. In addition, the chemical orthogonality of SAC is useful for designing tandem or multicomponent reactions, in which side reactions common to metal nanoparticles are suppressed. In this review, the intrinsic mechanism will be highlighted that controls reaction efficiency and selectivity in SAC-catalyzed pathways, as well as the structural dynamism of SAC under complex liquid-phase conditions. These mechanistic insights are helpful for the development of next-generation SAC systems for the synthesis of high-value pharmaceuticals through late-stage functionalization, sequential and multicomponent strategies.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts have received widespread attention for their fascinating performance in terms of metal atom efficiency as well as their special catalysis mechanisms compared to conventional catalysts. Here, we prepared a high-performance catalyst of single-Cu-atom-decorated boron nitride nanofibers (BNNF-Cu) via a facile calcination method. The as-prepared catalyst shows high catalytic activity and good stability for converting different nitro compounds into their corresponding amines both with and without photoexcitation. By combined studies of synchrotron radiation analysis, high-resolution high-angle annular dark-field transmission electron microscopy studies, and DFT calculations, dispersion and coordination of Cu atoms as well as their catalytic mechanisms are explored. The BNNF-Cu catalyst is found to have a record high turnover frequency compared to previously reported non-precious-metal-based catalysts. While the performance of the BNNF-Cu catalyst is only of the middle range level among the state-of-the-art precious-metal-based catalysts, due to the much lower cost of the BNNF-Cu catalyst, its cost efficiency is the highest among these catalysts. This work provides a choice of support material that can promote the development of single-atom catalysts.

Abstract
Artificial nanozymes exerting enzyme functionality are recognized as promising alternatives of natural enzymes in biomimetic chemistry. Natural haloperoxidases that utilize hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to catalytically convert halide into strong biocidal hypohalous acid hold great promise for thwarting biofouling, while their practical application remains highly questionable as instability of natural enzymes and inadequate H2 O2 . Herein a semiconducting nanozyme consisting of chromium single atoms coordinated on carbon nitride (Cr-SA-CN) that performs bifunctional roles of nonsacrificial H2 O2 photosynthesis and haloperoxidase-mimicking activity for antibiofouling is constructed. Such nanozyme is capable of generating H2 O2 from water and O2 upon visible-light illumination, and then sustainably self-supplying H2 O2 for haloperoxidase-mimicking reaction in a sequential manner. This dual-activity Cr-SA-CN overcomes H2 O2 dilemma and yields hypobromous acid continuously, inducing remarkable bactericidal capability. When used as an eco-friendly coating additive, it is successfully demonstrated that Cr-SA-CN enables an inert surface against marine biofouling. Thereby, this study not only illustrates an attractive strategy for antibiofouling but also opens an avenue to construct valuable nanoplatform with multifunctionality for future applications.

Abstract
Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) as a crucial antioxidant enzyme has drawn attentions for its utilization in preventing cells from oxidative stress responses by efficiently scavenging H2 O2 in plants. For eliminating the specific inactivation of natural APXs and regulating the catalytic activity, single-atom nanozymes are considered as promising classes of alternatives with similar active sites and maximal atomic utilization efficiency to natural APXs. Herein, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) anchored with isolated single copper atoms (Cu SAs/CN) is designed as an efficient nanozyme with intrinsic APX mimetic behavior. The engineered Cu SAs/CN exhibits comparable specific activity and kinetics to the natural APXs. Based on the density functional theory (DFT), Cu-N4 moieties in the active center of Cu SAs/CN are determined to exert such favorable APX catalytic performance, in which the electron transfer between Cu and coordinated N atoms facilitates the activation and cleavage of the adsorbed H2 O2 molecules and results in fast kinetics. The constructed Cu SAs/CN nanozyme with superior APX-like performance and high biocompatibility can be applied for effectively protecting the H2 O2 -treated cells against oxidative injury in vitro. These findings report the single-atom nanozymes as a successful paradigm for guiding nanozymes to implement APX mimetic performance for reactive oxygen species-related biotherapeutic.

Abstract
Development of high-performance heterogeneous catalytic materials is important for the rapid upgrade of chemicals, which remains a challenge. Here, the benzene oxidation reaction was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the atomic interface strategy to improve catalytic performance. The developed B,N-cocoordinated Cu single atoms anchored on carbon nanosheets (Cu1/B-N) with the Cu-N2B1 atomic interface was prepared by the pyrolysis of a precoordinated Cu precursor. Benefiting from the unique atomic Cu-N2B1 interfacial structure, the designed Cu1/B-N exhibited considerable activity in the oxidation of benzene, which was much higher than Cu1/N-C, Cu NPs/N-C, and N-C catalysts. A theoretical study showed that the enhanced catalytic performance resulted from the optimized adsorption of intermediates, which originated from the manipulation of the electronic structure of Cu single atoms induced by B atom coordination in the Cu-N2B1 atomic interface. This study provides an innovative approach for the rational design of high-performance heterogeneous catalytic materials at the atomic level.

Abstract
Photocatalytic generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) is an attractive strategy to convert organic chemicals to high value-added products. However, the scarcity of suitable active sites in photocatalysts commonly leads to the poor adsorption and activation of oxygen molecules from a triplet state to a singlet state. Here, we report single atomic Cu-N3 sites on tubular g-C3N4 for the production of singlet oxygen. X-ray absorption fine spectroscopy, in combination with high-resolution electron microscopy techniques, determines the existence of atomically dispersed Cu sites with Cu-N3 coordination mode. The combined analysis of electron spin resonance and time-resolved optical spectra confirmed that a single atomic Cu-N3 structure facilitates a high concentration of 1O2 generation due to charge transport, electron-hole interaction, and exciton effect. Benefiting from the merits, a single atomic photocatalyst yields nearly 100% conversion and selectivity from thioanisole to sulfoxide within 2.5 h under visible light irradiation. This work deeply reveals the design and construction of catalysts with specific active sites, which are helpful to improve the activation efficiency of oxygen.

Abstract
Supported single-metal atom catalysts (SACs) are constituted of isolated active metal centers, which are heterogenized on inert supports such as graphene, porous carbon, and metal oxides. Their thermal stability, electronic properties, and catalytic activities can be controlled via interactions between the single-metal atom center and neighboring heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. Due to the atomic dispersion of the active catalytic centers, the amount of metal required for catalysis can be decreased, thus offering new possibilities to control the selectivity of a given transformation as well as to improve catalyst turnover frequencies and turnover numbers. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the synthesis of Fe-SACs with a focus on anchoring single atoms (SA) on carbon/graphene supports. The characterization of these advanced materials using various spectroscopic techniques and their applications in diverse research areas are described. When applicable, mechanistic investigations conducted to understand the specific behavior of Fe-SACs-based catalysts are highlighted, including the use of theoretical models.

Abstract
Single-atom (SA) catalysts have attracted broad attention due to their distinctive catalytic properties in diverse reactions. Increasing the unsaturated coordination sites of active centers is a valid and challenging approach to improve the performance of such catalysts. Herein, we report an oxide compounding strategy to decrease the N coordination number of a SA Cu catalyst by reducing the thickness of the N-doped carbon carrier with a lower density of N atoms. The SA Cu catalyst with a more unsaturated N coordination structure can achieve transfer hydrogenation of alkynes with good activity and selectivity, which is disabled over the common N coordinated SA Cu catalyst on pure CN. It is found that individual Cu centers coordinated by fewer N atoms can accelerate the hydrogen transfer from ammonia-borane and still leave proper adsorption sites for alkynes to realize the entire hydrogenation reaction. This work will open up new opportunities to modulate the unsaturated coordination structure of SA catalysts for creating better-performing heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) converting CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels to realize carbon recycling is a solution to the problem of renewable energy shortage and environmental pollution. Among all the catalysts, the carbon-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) with isolated metal atoms immobilized on conductive carbon substrates have shown significant potential toward CO2 RR, which intrigues researchers to explore high-performance SACs for fuel and chemical production by CO2 RR. Especially, regulating the coordination structures of the metal centers and the microenvironments of the substrates in carbon-based SACs has emerged as an effective strategy for the tailoring of their CO2 RR catalytic performance. In this review, the current in situ/operando study techniques and the fundamental parameters for CO2 RR performance are first briefly presented. Furthermore, the recent advances in synthetic strategies which regulate the atomic structures of the carbon-based SACs, including heteroatom coordination, coordination numbers, diatomic metal centers, and the microenvironments of substrates are summarized. In particular, the structure-performance relationship of the SACs toward CO2 RR is highlighted. Finally, the inevitable challenges for SACs are outlined and further research directions toward CO2 RR are presented from the perspectives.
