Abstract
Inspired by natural enzymes, this study presents a nickel-based molecular catalyst, [Ni‖(N2S2)]Cl2 (NiN2S2, N2S2=2,11-dithia[3,3](2,6)pyridinophane), for the photochemical catalytic reduction of CO2 under visible light. The catalyst was synthesized and characterized using various techniques, including liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), UV-Visible spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The crystallographic analysis revealed a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry with a mononuclear Ni2+ cation, two nitrogen atoms and two sulfur atoms. Photocatalytic CO2 reduction experiments were performed in homogeneous conditions using the catalyst in combination with [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) as a photosensitizer and 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (BIH) as a sacrificial electron donor. The catalyst achieved a high selectivity of 89 % towards CO and a remarkable turnover number (TON) of 7991 during 8 h of visible light irradiation under CO2 in the presence of phenol as a co-substrate. The turnover frequency (TOF) in the initial 6 h was 1079 h-1, with an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 1.08 %. Controlled experiments confirmed the dependency on the catalyst, light, and sacrificial electron donor for the CO2 reduction process. These findings demonstrate this bioinspired nickel molecular catalyst could be effective for fast and efficient photochemical catalytic reduction of CO2 to CO.

Abstract
Herein we studied visible-light-driven CO2 reduction using a series of tetra-phenylporphyrin iron catalysts and inexpensive anthraquinone dyes. Varying the functional groups on the phenyl moieties of the catalysts significantly enhances the photocatalytic activity, achieving an optimal turnover number (TON) of 10 476 and a selectivity of 100% in the noble-metal-free systems. The highest activity found in a bromo-substituted catalyst is attributed to favorable electron transfer from the photosensitizer to the iron porphyrin.

Abstract
The development of strong sensitizing and Earth-abundant antenna molecules is highly desirable for CO2 reduction through artificial photosynthesis. Herein, a library of Zn-dipyrrin complexes (Z-1-Z-6) are rationally designed via precisely controlling their molecular configuration to optimize strong sensitizing Earth-abundant photosensitizers. Upon visible-light excitation, their special geometry enables intramolecular charge transfer to induce a charge-transfer state, which was first demonstrated to accept electrons from electron donors. The resulting long-lived reduced photosensitizer was confirmed to trigger consecutive intermolecular electron transfers for boosting CO2-to-CO conversion. Remarkably, the Earth-abundant catalytic system with Z-6 and Fe-catalyst exhibits outstanding performance with a turnover number of >20 000 and 29.7% quantum yield, representing excellent catalytic performance among the molecular catalytic systems and highly superior to that of noble-metal photosensitizer Ir(ppy)2(bpy)+ under similar conditions. Experimental and theoretical investigations comprehensively unveil the structure-activity relationship, opening up a new horizon for the development of Earth-abundant strong sensitizing chromophores for boosting artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
Implementing the synergistic effects between the metal and the ligand has successfully streamlined the energetics for CO2 activation and gained high catalytic activities, establishing the important breakthroughs in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Herein, we describe a Ni(II) N-confused porphyrin complex (NiNCP) featuring an acidic N-H group. It is readily deprotonated and exists in an anion form during catalysis. Owing to this functional site, NiNCP gave rise to an outstanding turnover number (TON) as high as 217,000 with a 98% selectivity for CO2 reduction to CO, while the parent Ni(II) porphyrin (NiTPP) was found to be nearly inactive. Our mechanistic analysis revealed a nonclassical reaction pattern where CO2 was effectively activated via the attack of the Lewis-basic ligand. The resulting ligand-bound CO2 adduct could be further reduced to produce CO. This new metal-ligand synergistic effect is anticipated to inspire the design of highly active catalysts for small molecule activations.

Abstract
Development of devices for production of H2 using light and a sustainable source of electrons may require the design of molecular systems combining a molecular catalyst and a photosensitizer. Evaluation of the efficiency of hydrogen production is commonly performed in homogeneous solution with a sacrificial electron donor and the report of the maximal turnover number vs catalyst (T O N c a t lim ${TON_{cat}^{\lim } }$ ). This figure of merit is strongly dependent on deactivation pathways and does not by itself provide a benchmarking for catalysts. In particular, when the photosensitizer degradation is the primary source of limitation, a kinetic model, rationalizing literature data, shows that a decrease of the catalyst concentration leads to an increase ofT O N c a t lim ${TON_{cat}^{\lim } }$ . It indicates that exceptionally highT O N c a t lim ${TON_{cat}^{\lim } }$ obtained at very low catalyst concentration shall not be considered as an indication of an exceptional catalytic system. We advocate for a systematic kinetic analysis in order to get a quantitative measure of the competitive pathways leading toT O N c a t lim ${TON_{cat}^{\lim } }$ values and to provide keys for performance improvement.

Abstract
Catalyst design for the efficient CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) remains a crucial challenge for the conversion of CO2 to fuels. Natural Ni-Fe carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (NiFe-CODH) achieves reversible conversion of CO2 and CO at nearly thermodynamic equilibrium potential, which provides a template for developing CO2RR catalysts. However, compared with the natural enzyme, most biomimetic synthetic Ni-Fe complexes exhibit negligible CO2RR catalytic activities, which emphasizes the significance of effective bimetallic cooperation for CO2 activation. Enlightened by bimetallic synergy, we herein report a dinickel complex, NiIINiII(bphpp)(AcO)2 (where NiNi(bphpp) is derived from H2bphpp = 2,9-bis(5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-3-pyridylphenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, which exhibits a remarkable reactivity approximately 5 times higher than that of the mononuclear Ni catalyst. Electrochemical and computational studies have revealed that the redox-active phenanthroline moiety effectively modulates the electron injection and transfer akin to the [Fe3S4] cluster in NiFe-CODH, and the secondary Ni site facilitates the C-O bond activation and cleavage through electron mediation and Lewis acid characteristics. Our work underscores the significant role of bimetallic cooperation in CO2 reduction catalysis and provides valuable guidance for the rational design of CO2RR catalysts.

Abstract
The tetradentate PNNP-type IrIII complex Mes-IrPCY2 ([Cl-IrIII-H]+) is reported to be an efficient catalyst for the reduction of CO2 to formate with excellent selectivity under visible light irradiation. Density functional calculations have been carried out to elucidate the mechanism and the origin of selectivity in the present work. Calculations suggest that the double-reduced complex 1-H (1[IrI-H]0) demonstrates higher activity than the single-reduced complex 2-H (2[IrIII(L˙-)-H]+), possibly owing to the higher hydride donor ability of the former compared to the latter; thus 1-H functions as the active species in the overall CO2 reduction reaction. In the HCOO- formation pathway, the hydride of 1-H performs a nucleophilic attack on CO2via an outer-sphere fashion to generate species 1-OCHO (1[IrI-OCHO]0), which then releases HCOO- to produce an IrI intermediate. A subsequent protonation and chloride coordination of the Ir center leads to the regeneration of catalyst 1[Cl-IrIII-H]+. For the CO production, a nucleophilic attack on CO2 takes place by the Ir atom of 1-Hvia an inner-sphere manner to afford complex O2C-3-H (1[O2C-IrIII-H]0), followed by a two-proton-one-electron reduction to furnish the OC-2-H complex (2[OC-IrIII(L˙-)-H]+) after liberating a H2O. Ultimately, CO is released to form 2-H. The stronger nucleophilicity as well as smaller steric hindrance of the hydride than the Ir atom of the active species 1-H (1[IrI-H]0) is found to account for the favoring of formate formation over CO formation. Meanwhile, the CO2 reduction reaction is calculated to be preferred over the hydrogen evolution reaction, and this is consistent with the experimental product distributions.

Abstract
The promise of artificial photosynthesis to solve environmental and energy issues such as global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels has inspired intensive research into photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction to produce value-added chemicals such as CO and CH3OH. Among the photocatalytic systems for CO2 reduction, self-photosensitizing catalysts, bearing the functions of both photosensitization and catalysis, have attracted considerable attention recently, as such catalysts do not depend on the efficiency of electron transfer from the photosensitizer to the catalyst. Here, we have synthesized and characterized a dinuclear RuII complex bearing two molecules of a tripodal hexadentate ligand as chelating and linking ligands by X-ray crystallography to establish the structure explicitly and have used various spectroscopic and electrochemical methods to elucidate the photoredox characteristics. The dinuclear complex has been revealed to act as a self-photosensitizing catalyst, which acts not only as a photosensitizer but also as a catalyst for CO2 reduction. The dinuclear RuII complex is highly durable and performs efficient and selective CO2 reduction to produce CO with a turnover number of 2400 for 26 h. The quantum yield of the CO formation is also very high─19.7%─and the catalysis is efficient, even at a low concentration (∼1.5%) of CO2.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthetic diluted CO2 reduction directly driven by natural sunlight is a challenging, but promising way to realize carbon-resources recycling utilization. Herein, a three-in-one photocatalytic system of CO2 enrichment, CO2 reduction and H2 O oxidation sites is designed for diluted CO2 reduction. A Zn-Salen-based covalent organic framework (Zn-S-COF) with oxidation and reductive sites is synthesized; then, ionic liquids (ILs) are loaded into the pores. As a result, [Emim]BF4 @Zn-S-COF shows a visible-light-driven CO2 -to-CO conversion rate of 105.88 µmol g-1 h-1 under diluted CO2 (15%) atmosphere, even superior than most photocatalysts in high concentrations CO2 . Moreover, natural sunlight driven diluted CO2 reduction rate also reaches 126.51 µmol g-1 in 5 h. Further experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that the triazine ring in the Zn-S-COF promotes the activity of H2 O oxidation and CO2 reduction sites, and the loaded ILs provide an enriched CO2 atmosphere, realizing the efficient photocatalytic activity in diluted CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Iron tetraphenylporphyrin complex modified with four trimethylammonium groups (Fe-p-TMA) is found to be capable of catalyzing the eight-electron eight-proton reduction of CO2 to CH4 photochemically in acetonitrile. In the present work, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the reaction mechanism and to rationalize the product selectivity. Our results revealed that the initial catalyst Fe-p-TMA ([Cl-Fe(III)-LR4]4+, where L = tetraphenylporphyrin ligand with a total charge of -2, and R4 = four trimethylammonium groups with a total charge of +4) undergoes three reduction steps, accompanied by the dissociation of the chloride ion to form [Fe(II)-L••2-R4]2+. [Fe(II)-L••2-R4]2+, bearing a Fe(II) center ferromagnetically coupled with a tetraphenylporphyrin diradical, performs a nucleophilic attack on CO2 to produce the 1η-CO2 adduct [CO2•--Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+. Two intermolecular proton transfer steps then take place at the CO2 moiety of [CO2•--Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+, resulting in the cleavage of the C-O bond and the formation of the critical intermediate [Fe(II)-CO]4+ after releasing a water molecule. Subsequently, [Fe(II)-CO]4+ accepts three electrons and one proton to generate [CHO-Fe(II)-L•-R4]2+, which finally undergoes a successive four-electron-five-proton reduction to produce methane without forming formaldehyde, methanol, or formate. Notably, the redox non-innocent tetraphenylporphyrin ligand was found to play an important role in CO2 reduction since it could accept and transfer electron(s) during catalysis, thus keeping the ferrous ion at a relatively high oxidation state. Hydrogen evolution reaction via the formation of Fe-hydride ([Fe(II)-H]3+) turns out to endure a higher total barrier than the CO2 reduction reaction, therefore providing a reasonable explanation for the origin of the product selectivity.

Abstract
The direct utilization of solar energy to convert CO2 into renewable chemicals remains a challenge. One essential difficulty is the development of efficient and inexpensive light-absorbers. Here we show a series of aminoanthraquinone organic dyes to promote the efficiency for visible light-driven CO2 reduction to CO when coupled with an Fe porphyrin catalyst. Importantly, high turnover numbers can be obtained for both the photosensitizer and the catalyst, which has not been achieved in current light-driven systems. Structure-function study performed with substituents having distinct electronic effects reveals that the built-in donor-acceptor property of the photosensitizer significantly promotes the photocatalytic activity. We anticipate this study gives insight into the continued development of advanced photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Exploiting noble-metal-free systems for high-performance photocatalytic CO2 reduction still presents a key challenge, partially due to the long-standing difficulties in developing potent and durable earth-abundant photosensitizers. Therefore, based on the very cheap aluminum metal, we have deployed a systematic series of homoleptic Al(III) photosensitizers featuring 2-pyridylpyrrolide ligands for CO2 photoreduction. The combined studies of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy as well as quantum chemical calculations demonstrate that in anerobic CH3CN solutions at room temperature, visible-light excitation of the Al(III) photosensitizers leads to an efficient population of singlet excited states with nanosecond-scale lifetimes and notable emission quantum yields (10-40%). The results of transient absorption spectroscopy further identified the presence of emissive singlet and unexpectedly nonemissive triplet excited states. More importantly, the introduction of methyl groups at the pyrrolide rings can greatly improve the visible-light absorption, reducing power, and durability of the Al(III) photosensitizers. With triethanolamine, BIH (1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole), and an Fe(II)-quaterpyridine catalyst, the most methylated Al(III) photosensitizer achieves an apparent quantum efficiency of 2.8% at 450 nm for selective (>99%) CO2-to-CO conversion, which is nearly 28 times that of the unmethylated one (0.1%) under identical conditions. The optimal system realizes a maximum turnover number of 10250 and higher robustness than the systems with Ru(II) and Cu(I) benchmark photosensitizers. Quenching experiments using fluorescence spectroscopy elucidate that the photoinduced electron transfer in the Al(III)-sensitized system follows a reductive quenching pathway. The remarkable tunability and cost efficiency of these Al(III) photosensitizers should allow them as promising components in noble-metal-free systems for solar fuel conversion.

Abstract
A carbazolide-bis(NHC) NiII catalyst (1; NHC, N-heterocyclic carbene) for selective CO2 photoreduction was designed herein by a one-stone-two-birds strategy. The extended π-conjugation and the strong σ/π electron-donation characteristics (two birds) of the carbazolide fragment (one stone) lead to significantly enhanced activity for photoreduction of CO2 to CO. The turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) of 1 were ninefold and eightfold higher than those of the reported pyridinol-bis(NHC) NiII complex at the same catalyst concentration using an identical Ir photosensitizer, respectively, with a selectivity of ∼100%. More importantly, an organic dye was applied to displace the Ir photosensitizer to develop a noble-metal-free photocatalytic system, which maintained excellent performance and obtained an outstanding quantum yield of 11.2%. Detailed investigations combining experimental and computational studies revealed the catalytic mechanism, which highlights the potential of the one-stone-two-birds effect.

Abstract
(1) Background: Due to human activities, greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the atmosphere are constantly rising, causing the greenhouse effect. Among GHGs, carbon dioxide (CO2) is responsible for about two-thirds of the total energy imbalance which is the origin of the increase in the Earth’s temperature. (2) Methods: In this field, we describe the development of periodic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (PMO NPs) used to capture and store CO2 present in the atmosphere. Several types of PMO NP (bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTEE) as matrix, co-condensed with trialkoxysilylated aminopyridine (py) and trialkoxysilylated bipyridine (Etbipy and iPrbipy)) were synthesized by means of the sol-gel procedure, then characterized with different techniques (DLS, TEM, FTIR, BET). A systematic evaluation of CO2 adsorption was carried out at 298 K and 273 K, at low pressure. (3) Results: The best values of CO2 adsorption were obtained with 6% bipyridine: 1.045 mmol·g−1 at 298 K and 2.26 mmol·g−1 at 273 K. (4) Conclusions: The synthetized BTEE/aminopyridine or bipyridine PMO NPs showed significant results and could be promising for carbon capture and storage (CCS) application.

Abstract
Global climate changes have been impacted by the excessive CO 2 emission, which exacerbates the environmental problems. Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (CO 2 RR) offers the solution for utilizing CO 2 as feedstocks for value-added products while potentially mitigating the negative effects. Owing to the extreme stability of CO 2 , selectivity and efficiency are crucial factors in the development of CO 2 RR electrocatalysts. Recently, single-atom catalysts have emerged as potential electrocatalysts for CO 2 reduction. They generally comprise of atomically- and molecularly dispersed active sites over conductive supports, which enable atomic-level and molecular-level modulations. In this minireview, catalyst preparations, principle of modulations, and reaction mechanisms are summarised together with related recent advances. The atomic-level modulations are first discussed, followed by the molecular-level modulations. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities are provided as guidance for further developments regarding the discussed topics.

Abstract
Molecular photocatalysts designed with earth-abundant elements are rare and challenging in artificial photosynthesis study. Herein, we report a multimetallic Fe2Na3 purpurin (1) complex for the reduction of CO2 in DMF under visible-light irradiation. The photocatalytic system achieves 91% selectivity and 2625 ± 334 turnovers of CO in 120 h, which is among the highest reported for a noble-metal-free catalyst without an additional photosensitizer. UV-vis and electrochemical studies suggest that the mechanism involves subsequent reductions and protonations of 1 to generate [FeII2Na3((H)2PP)6]5- and [FeIII2Na3((H)2PP)6]3- as the active photocatalysts in CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The phosphine-substituted Ru(II) polypyridyl complex, [RuII-(tpy)(pqn)(MeCN)]2+ (RuP), was disclosed to be an efficient photocatalyst for the reduction of CO2 to CO with excellent selectivity. In this work, density functional calculations were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism and understand the origin of selectivity. The calculations showed that RuP was first excited to the singlet excited state, followed by intersystem crossing to produce a triplet species (3RuIII(L˙-)-S), which was then reduced by the sacrificial electron donor BIH to generate a RuII(L˙-) intermediate. The ligand of RuII(L˙-) was further reduced to produce a RuII(L2-) intermediate. The redox non-innocent nature of the tpy and pqn ligands endows the Ru center with an oxidation state of +2 after two one-electron reductions. RuII(L2-) nucleophilically attacks CO2, in which two electrons are delivered from the ligands to CO2, affording a RuII-COOH species after protonation. This is followed by the protonation of the hydroxyl moiety of RuII-COOH, coupled with the C-O bond cleavage, resulting in the formation of RuII-CO. Ultimately, CO is dissociated after two one-electron reductions. Protonation of RuII(L2-) to generate a RuII-hydride, a critical intermediate for the production of formate and H2, turns out to be kinetically less favorable, even though it is thermodynamically more favorable. This fact is due to the presence of a Ru2+ ion in the reduced catalyst, which disfavors its protonation.

Abstract
The resurgence of visible light photocatalysis for carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) has resulted in the generation of various homogeneous and heterogeneous paradigms. Herein, a new system has been established by incorporating dual catalytic sites into porous coordination polymer toward the photocatalysis of CO2RR. A functional ligand, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4'-(terpyridinyl)phenyl]porphyrin (TTPP), has been used to assemble discrete divalent nickel ions into the coordination polymer (TTPP-Ni) through metal bis(terpyridine) nodes. Both the porphyrin and terpyridine moieties prefer to bind with nickel ions, giving rise to TTPP-Ni with dual active catalytic sites. By controlling different molar ratios of ligand and metal and the reaction temperature, four samples including TTPP-Ni-n (n = 1, 2, 3, and 4) with different molar ratios of nickel porphyrin and nickel bis(terpyridine) subunits have been fabricated. The predesigned two-dimensional chemical structures of TTPP-Ni samples have been fully characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and IR and UV-vis spectroscopies. The photocatalytic activities of these coordination polymers have been screened using [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2·6H2O as a photosensitizer together with triisopropanolamine as the sacrificial electron donor in CH3CN and H2O. Among these photocatalysts, TTPP-Ni-3 and TTPP-Ni-4 with almost saturated metal sites are able to display extraordinary photocatalytic performance including a CO generation rate of ca. 3900 μmol g-1 h-1 and 98% selectivity. The mechanism associated with dual active sites has been rationalized on the basis of theoretical simulations.

Abstract
There has been rapid progress on the chemistry of supramolecular scaffolds that harness sunlight for aqueous photocatalytic production of hydrogen. However, great efforts are still needed to develop similar photosynthetic systems for the great challenge of CO2 reduction especially if they avoid the use of nonabundant metals. This work investigates the synthesis of supramolecular polymers capable of sensitizing catalysts that require more negative potentials than proton reduction. The monomers are chromophore amphiphiles based on a diareno-fused ullazine core that undergo supramolecular polymerization in water to create entangled nanoscale fibers. Under 450 nm visible light these fibers sensitize a dinuclear cobalt catalyst for CO2 photoreduction to generate carbon monoxide and methane using a sacrificial electron donor. The supramolecular photocatalytic system can generate amounts of CH4 comparable to those obtained with a precious metal-based [Ru(phen)3](PF6)2 sensitizer and, in contrast to Ru-based catalysts, retains photocatalytic activity in all aqueous media over 6 days. The present study demonstrates the potential of tailored supramolecular polymers as renewable energy and sustainability materials.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into formate (HCOO-) has been widely studied with semiconductor and molecule-based systems, but it is rarely investigated with covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Herein, we report a novel donor-acceptor COF named Co-PI-COF composed of isoindigo and metallated porphyrin subunits that exhibits high catalytic efficiency (∼50 μmol formate g-1 h-1) at low-power visible-light irradiation and in the absence of rare metal cocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations and experimental diffuse-reflectance measurements are used to explain the origin of catalytic efficiency and the particularly low band gap (0.56 eV) in this material. The mechanism of photocatalysis is also studied experimentally and is found to involve electron transfer from the sacrificial agent to the excited Co-PI-COF. The observed high-efficiency conversion could be ascribed to the enhanced CO2 adsorption on the coordinatively unsaturated cobalt centers, the narrow band gap, and the efficient transfer of the charge originating from the postsynthetic metallation. It is anticipated that this study will pave the way toward the design of new simple and efficient catalysts for photocatalytic CO2 reduction into useful products.

Abstract
A bis(pyridyl)amine-bipyridine-iron(II) framework (Fe(BPAbipy)) of complexes 1-3 is reported to shed light on the multistep nature of CO2 reduction. Herein, photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CO even at low CO2 concentration (1 %), together with detailed mechanistic study and DFT calculations, reveal that 1 first undergoes two sequential one-electron transfer affording an intermediate with electron density on both Fe and ligand for CO2 binding over proton. The following 2 H+ -assisted Fe-CO formation is rate-determining for selective CO2 -to-CO reduction. A pendant, proton-shuttling α-OH group (2) initiates PCET for predominant H2 evolution, while an α-OMe group (3) cancels the selectivity control for either CO or H2 . The near-unity selectivity of 1 and 2 enables self-sorting syngas production at flexible CO/H2 ratios. The unprecedented results from one kind of molecular catalyst skeleton encourage insight into the beauty of advanced multi-electron and multi-proton transfer processes for robust CO2 RR by photocatalysis.

Abstract
The fulfillment of a high quantum efficiency for photocatalytic CO2 reduction presents a key challenge, which can be overcome by developing strategies for dynamic attachment between photosensitizer and catalyst. In this context, we exploit the use of coordinate bond to connect a pyridine-appended iridium photosensitizer and molecular catalysts for CO2 reduction, which is systematically demonstrated by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance titration, theoretical calculations, and spectroscopic measurements. The mechanistic investigations reveal that the coordinative interaction between the photosensitizer and an unmodified cobalt phthalocyanine significantly accelerates the electron transfer and thus realizes a remarkable quantum efficiency of 10.2% ± 0.5% at 450 nm for photocatalytic CO2-to-CO conversion with a turn-over number of 391 ± 7 and nearly complete selectivity, over 4 times higher than a comparative system with no additional interaction (2.4%±0.2%). Moreover, the decoration of electron-donating amino groups on cobalt phthalocyanine can optimize the quantum efficiency up to 27.9% ± 0.8% at 425 nm, which is more attributable to the enhanced coordinative interaction rather than the intrinsic activity. The control experiments demonstrate that the dynamic feature of coordinative interaction is important to prevent the coordination occupancy of labile sites, also enabling the wide applicability on diverse non-noble-metal catalysts. Positioning photosensitizer and catalyst complexes in photocatalytic systems is a promising method to direct desired electron transfers. Here, authors employ a dynamic coordinative interaction between molecular components to improve CO2 photoreduction to CO with a high quantum efficiency of 27.9%.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into useful resources by electrocatalysis and photocatalysis is a promising strategy for recycling of the gas and electrification of industries. Numerous studies have shown that multinuclear metal catalysts have higher selectivity and catalytic activity than monometallic catalysts due to the synergistic effects between the metal sites. In this review, we summarize some of the recent progress on the electrocatalytic and photocatalytic reduction of CO2 by earth-abundant bimetallic molecular catalysts.

Abstract
CO2 reduction through artificial photosynthesis represents a prominent strategy toward the conversion of solar energy into fuels or useful chemical feedstocks. In such configuration, designing highly efficient chromophores comprising earth-abundant elements is essential for both light harvesting and electron transfer. Herein, we report that a copper purpurin complex bearing an additional redox-active center in natural organic chromophores is capable to shift the reduction potential 540 mV more negative than its organic dye component. When this copper photosensitizer is employed with an iron porphyrin as the catalyst and 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole as the sacrificial reductant, the system achieves over 16100 turnover number of CO from CO2 with a 95% selectivity (CO vs H2) under visible-light irradiation, which is among the highest reported for a homogeneous noble metal-free system. This work may open up an effective approach for the rational design of highly efficient chromophores in artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
The atomic-level tunability of molecular structures is a compelling reason to develop homogeneous catalysts for challenging reactions such as the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to valuable C1-Cn products. Of particular interest is methane, the largest component of natural gas. Herein, we report a series of three isomeric rhenium tricarbonyl complexes coordinated by the asymmetric diimine ligands 2-(isoquinolin-1-yl)-4,5-dihydrooxazole (quin-1-oxa), 2-(quinolin-2-yl)-4,5-dihydrooxazole (quin-2-oxa), and 2-(isoquinolin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydrooxazole (quin-3-oxa) that catalyze the reduction of CO2 to carbon monoxide and methane, albeit the latter with a low efficiency. To our knowledge, these complexes are the first examples of rhenium(I) catalysts capable of converting carbon dioxide into methane. Re(quin-1-oxa)(CO)3Cl (1), Re(quin-2-oxa)(CO)3Cl (2), and Re(quin-3-oxa)(CO)3Cl (3) were characterized and studied using a variety of electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. In bulk electrolysis experiments, the three complexes reduce CO2 to CO and CH4. When the controlled-potential electrolysis experiments are performed at -2.5 V (vs Fc+/0) and in the presence of the Brønsted acid 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, methane is produced with turnover numbers that range from 1.3 to 1.8. Isotope labeling experiments using 13CO2 atmosphere produce 13CH4 (m/z = 17) confirming that methane originates from CO2 reduction. Theoretical calculations are performed to investigate the mechanistic aspects of the 8e-/8H+ reduction of CO2 to CH4. A ligand-assisted pathway is proposed to be an efficient pathway in the formation of CH4. Delocalization of the electron density on the (iso)quinoline moiety upon reduction stabilizes the key carbonyl intermediate leading to additional reactivity of this ligand. These results should aid the development of more robust catalytic systems that produce CH4 from CO2.

Abstract
A series of molecular Mn catalysts featuring aniline groups in the second-coordination sphere has been developed for electrochemical and photochemical CO2 reduction. The arylamine moieties were installed at the 6 position of 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) to generate a family of isomers in which the primary amine is located at the ortho- (1-Mn), meta- (2-Mn), or para-site (3-Mn) of the aniline ring. The proximity of the second-sphere functionality to the active site is a critical factor in determining catalytic performance. Catalyst 1-Mn, possessing the shortest distance between the amine and the active site, significantly outperformed the rest of the series and exhibited a 9-fold improvement in turnover frequency relative to parent catalyst Mn(bpy)(CO)3 Br (901 vs. 102 s-1 , respectively) at 150 mV lower overpotential. The electrocatalysts operated with high faradaic efficiencies (≥70 %) for CO evolution using trifluoroethanol as a proton source. Notably, under photocatalytic conditions, a concentration-dependent shift in product selectivity from CO (at high [catalyst]) to HCO2 H (at low [catalyst]) was observed with turnover numbers up to 4760 for formic acid and high selectivities for reduced carbon products.

Abstract
Developing an efficient and easy-to-handle strategy in designing catalysts for CO2 reduction into CO by harnessing sunlight is a promising project. Here, a facile strategy was developed to design a Re catalyst modified with an ionic secondary coordination sphere for photoreduction of CO2 to CO by visible light. By adding ionic liquids or tuning a different ionic secondary coordination sphere, it was discovered that an outstanding optical property, other than CO2 absorption ability or the ability to dissociation of chloride anion, is the prerequisite for catalyst design. Accordingly, a novel Re catalyst, {Re[BpyMe(tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine)](CO)3 Cl}Br (Re-THEA), was designed, screened, and resulted in a relative high quantum yield (up to 34 %) for visible-light-induced CO2 reduction with a single-molecule system. DFT calculations, combined with experimental outcomes, suggested the pendant ionic tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amino (THEA) group on Re-THEA can enhance visible-light absorption, stabilize reaction intermediates, and suppress the Re-Re dimer formation.

Abstract
Airborne transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) via air-conditioning systems poses a significant threat for the continued escalation of the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Considering that SARS-CoV-2 cannot tolerate temperatures above 70 °C, here we designed and fabricated efficient filters based on heated nickel (Ni) foam to catch and kill SARS-CoV-2. Virus test results revealed that 99.8% of the aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 was caught and killed by a single pass through a novel Ni-foam-based filter when heated up to 200 °C. In addition, the same filter was also used to catch and kill 99.9% of Bacillus anthracis, an airborne spore. This study paves the way for preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other highly infectious airborne agents in closed environments.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into valuable solar fuels is highly appealing, but lack of directional charge-transfer channel and insufficient active sites resulted in limited CO2 reduction efficiency and selectivity for most photocatalytic systems. Herein, we designed and fabricated rare-earth La single-atoms on carbon nitride with La-N charge-transfer bridge as the active center for photocatalytic CO2 reaction. The formation of La single-atoms was certified by spherical aberration-corrected HAADF-STEM, STEM-EELS, EXAFS, and theoretical calculations. The electronic structure of the La-N bridge enables a high CO-yielding rate of 92 μmol·g-1·h-1 and CO selectivity of 80.3%, which is superior to most g-C3N4-based photocatalytic CO2 reductions. The CO production rate remained nearly constant under light irradiation for five cycles of 20 h, indicating its stability. The closely combined experimental and DFT calculations clearly elucidated that the variety of electronic states induced by 4f and 5d orbitals of the La single atom and the p-d orbital hybridization of La-N atoms enabled the formation of charge-transfer channel. The La-N charge bridges are found to function as the key active center for CO2 activation, rapid COOH* formation, and CO desorption. The present work would provide a mechanistic understanding into the utilization of rare-earth single-atoms in photocatalysis for solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Donor-acceptor two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks, PD-COF-23 and PD-COF-23-Ni, are constructed and applied for selective CO2 reduction with CO conversion rates of 20.9 μmol g-1 h-1 and 40.0 μmol g-1 h-1, respectively, in the absence of any additional photosensitizers and noble metal co-catalysts within an operation time of 25 h. The multilayer nanosheet structure, efficient charge separation and transport, and internal reductive quenching cycle of the NiTAPP fragments of PD-COF-23-Ni result in its higher photocatalytic efficiency than that of PD-COF-23.
