Abstract
In the quest for efficient supercapacitor materials, manganese-based layered oxide cathodes stand out for their cost-effectiveness and high theoretical capacity. However, their progress is hindered by the Jahn-Teller (J-T) distortion due to the unavoidable Mn4+ to Mn3+ reduction during ion storage processes. Our study addresses this challenge by stabilizing the K0.5MnO2 cathode through strategic Mg2+ substitution. This substitution leads to an altered Mn3+ electronic configuration, effectively mitigating the strong J-T distortion during ion storage processes. We provide a comprehensive analysis combining experimental evidence and theoretical insights, highlighting the emergence of the weak and negative J-T effects with reduced structural deformation during electrochemical cycling. Our findings reveal that the K0.5Mn0.85Mg0.15O2 cathode exhibits remarkable durability, retaining 96.0% of initial capacitance after 8000 cycles. This improvement is attributed to the specific electronic configurations of Mn3+ ions, which play a crucial role in minimizing volumetric changes and counteracting structural deformation typically induced by the strong J-T distortion. Our study not only advances the understanding of managing J-T distortion in manganese-based cathodes but also opens new avenues for designing high-stability supercapacitors and other energy storage devices by tailoring electrode materials based on their electronic configurations.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) battery with large theoretical energy density (≈3500 Wh kg-1) is one of the most promising energy storage and conversion systems. However, the slow kinetics of oxygen electrode reactions inhibit the practical application of Li-O2 battery. Thus, designing efficient electrocatalysts is crucial to improve battery performance. Here, Ti3C2 MXene/Mo4/3B2-x MBene superlattice is fabricated its electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen redox reactions in Li-O2 battery is studied. It is found that the built-in electric field formed by a large work function difference between Ti3C2 and Mo4/3B2-x will power the charge transfer at the interface from titanium (Ti) site in Ti3C2 to molybdenum (Mo) site in Mo4/3B2-x. This charge transfer increases the electron density in 4d orbital of Mo site and decreases the d-band center of Mo site, thus optimizing the adsorption of intermediate product LiO2 at Mo site and accelerating the kinetics of oxygen electrode reactions. Meanwhile, the formed film-like discharge products (Li2O2) improve the contact with electrode and facilitate the decomposition of Li2O2. Based on the above advantages, the Ti3C2 MXene/Mo4/3B2-x MBene superlattice-based Li-O2 battery exhibits large discharge specific capacity (17 167 mAh g-1), low overpotential (1.16 V), and superior cycling performance (475 cycles).

Abstract
Reconstruction of catalysts is now well recognized as a common phenomenon in electrocatalysis. As the reconstructed structure may promote or hamper the electrochemical performance, how to achieve the designed active surface for highly enhanced catalytic activity through the reconstruction needs to be carefully investigated. In this review, the genesis and electrochemical effects of reconstruction in various electrochemical catalytic processes, such as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), and nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) are first described. Then, the strategies for optimizing the reconstruction, such as valence states control, active phase retention, phase evolution engineering, and surface poisoning prevention are comprehensively discussed. Finally, the general rules of reconstruction optimization are summarized and give perspectives for future study. It is believed that the review shall provide deep insights into electrocatalytic mechanisms and guide the design of pre-catalysts with highly improved activity.

Abstract
Production of C2 chemicals (such as C2H4, C2H5OH, etc.) from CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2ER) has been regarded as a promising route to solve the environmental problems and energy crisis. In this work, mesoporous Cu2O microspheres of ca. 700 nm diameter size with low crystallinity were fabricated to enable efficient conversion of CO2 to C2 chemicals by electrocatalytic reduction. It is revealed that compared with bulk Cu2O, the obtained mesoporous Cu2O microspheres have larger surface area, more grain boundaries and defects (unsaturated coordination sites), which facilitate the adsorption and stabilization of the important intermediates, such as *CO, on the route to C2 chemicals formation. As a result, the Faraday efficiency (FE) of C2 products reaches as high as 82.6 % and 78.5 % in an H-cell and a flow cell, respectively. In situ Raman and FT-IR spectra reveal that during CO2ER test there exists abundant *CO on the mesoporous Cu2O surface, thus increasing the opportunity of CC coupling. And the high coverage of *CO on catalyst surface during CO2ER protects and stabilizes the oxidation state of Cu species. This work demonstrates an effective strategy to introduce mesoporous structures and decreased crystallinity for improving the performance of CO2ER to C2 products.

Abstract
Bismuth-based catalysts are effective in converting carbon dioxide into formate via electrocatalysis. Precise control of the morphology, size, and facets of bismuth-based catalysts is crucial for achieving high selectivity and activity. In this work, an efficient, large-scale continuous production strategy is developed for achieving a porous nanospheres Bi2O3-FDCA material. First-principles simulations conducted in advance indicate that the Bi2O3 (111)/(200) facets help reduce the overpotential for formate production in electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (ECO2RR). Subsequently, using microfluidic technology and molecular control to precisely adjust the amount of 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid, nanomaterials rich in (111)/(200) facets are successfully synthesized. Additionally, the morphology of the porous nanospheres significantly increases the adsorption capacity and active sites for carbon dioxide. These synergistic effects allow the porous Bi2O3-FDCA nanospheres to stably operate for 90 h in a flow cell at a current density of ≈250 mA cm- 2, with an average Faradaic efficiency for formate exceeding 90%. The approach of theoretically guided microfluidic technology for the large-scale synthesis of finely structured, efficient bismuth-based materials for ECO2RR may provide valuable references for the chemical engineering of intelligent nanocatalysts.

Abstract
Renewable energy-driven conversion of CO2 to value-added fuels and chemicals via electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) technology is regarded as a promising strategy with substantial environmental and economic benefits to achieve carbon neutrality. Because of its sluggish kinetics and complex reaction paths, developing robust catalytic materials with exceptional selectivity to the targeted products is one of the core issues, especially for extensively concerned Cu-based materials. Manipulating Cu species by anionic coordination is identified as an effective way to improve electrocatalytic performance, in terms of modulating active sites and regulating structural reconstruction. This review elaborates on recent discoveries and progress of Cu-based CO2RR catalytic materials enhanced by anionic coordination control, regarding reaction paths, functional mechanisms, and roles of different non-metallic anions in catalysis. Finally, the review concludes with some personal insights and provides challenges and perspectives on the utilization of this strategy to build desirable electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) poisoning and CO2-induced global warming represent two exemplary environmental and energy issues threatening humanity. Various biomass-derived materials are reported to take up Pb and convert CO2 electrochemically into low-valent carbon species, but these works address the problems separately rather than settle the issues simultaneously. In this work, cheap, natural ellagic acid (EA) extracted from common plants is adopted to assemble a stable metal-organic framework (MOF), EA-Pb, by effective capture of Pb2+ ions in an aqueous medium (removal rate close to 99%). EA-Pb represents the first structurally well-defined Pb-based MOF showing selective electrocatalytic CO2-to-HCOO- conversion with Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 95.37% at -1.08 V versus RHE. The catalytic mechanism is studied by 13CO2 labeling, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and theoretical calculation. The use of EA-Pb as an electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction represents a 2-in-1 solution of converting detrimental wastes (Pb2+) as well as natural resources (EA) into wealth (electrocatalytic EA-Pb) for addressing the global warming issue.

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) driven by renewable electricity offers a green and sustainable technology for synthesizing chemicals and managing global carbon balance. However, developing electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity for producing C1 products (CO, HCOOH, CH3OH, and CH4) remains a daunting task. In this study, we conducted comprehensive first-principles calculations to investigate the eCO2RR mechanism using B-defective BC3-supported transition metal single-atom catalysts (TM@BC3 SACs). Initially, we evaluated the thermodynamic and electrochemical stability of the designed 26 TM@BC3 SACs by calculating the binding energy and dissolution potential of the anchored TM atoms. Subsequently, the selectivity of the eCO2RR and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on stable SACs was determined by comparing the free energy change (ΔG) for the first protonation of CO2 with the ΔG of *H formation. The stability and selectivity screening processes enabled us to narrow down the pool of SACs to the 14 promising ones. Finally, volcano plots for the eCO2RR towards different C1 products were established by using the adsorption energy descriptors of key intermediates, and three SACs were predicted to exhibit high activity and selectivity. The limiting potentials (UL) for HCOOH production on Pd@BC3 and Ag@BC3 are -0.11 V and -0.14 V. CH4 is a preferred product on Re@BC3 with UL of -0.22 V. Elaborate electronic structure calculations elucidate that the activity and selectivity originate from the sufficient activation of the C-O bond and the strong orbital hybridization between crucial intermediates and metal atoms. The proposed catalyst screening criteria, constructed volcano plots and predicted SACs may provide a theoretical foundation for the development of computationally guided catalyst designs for electrochemical CO2 conversion to C1 products.

Abstract
In the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), metal catalysts with an oxidation state generally demonstrate more favorable catalytic activity and selectivity than their corresponding metallic counterparts. However, the persistence of oxidative metal sites under reductive potentials is challenging since the transition to metallic states inevitably leads to catalytic degradation. Herein, a thorough review of research on oxidation-state stabilization in the CO2RR is presented, starting from fundamental concepts and highlighting the importance of oxidation state stabilization while revealing the relevance of dynamic oxidation states in product distribution. Subsequently, the functional mechanisms of various oxidation-state protection strategies are explained in detail, and in situ detection techniques are discussed. Finally, the prevailing and prospective challenges associated with oxidation-state protection research are discussed, identifying innovative opportunities for mechanistic insights, technology upgrades, and industrial platforms to enable the commercialization of the CO2RR.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (ECO2RR) is a promising way to realize the transformation of waste into valuable material, which can not only meet the environmental goal of reducing carbon emissions, but also obtain clean energy and valuable industrial products simultaneously. Herein, we first introduce the complex CO2RR mechanisms based on the number of carbons in the product. Since the coupling of C-C bonds is unanimously recognized as the key mechanism step in the ECO2RR for the generation of high-value products, the structural-activity relationship of electrocatalysts is systematically reviewed. Next, we comprehensively classify the latest developments, both experimental and theoretical, in different categories of cutting-edge electrocatalysts and provide theoretical insights on various aspects. Finally, challenges are discussed from the perspectives of both materials and devices to inspire researchers to promote the industrial application of the ECO2RR at the earliest.

Abstract
The quest for sustainable urea production has directed attention toward electrocatalytic methods that bypass the energy-intensive traditional Haber-Bosch process. This study introduces an approach to urea synthesis through the coreduction of CO2 and NO3- using copper-doped molybdenum diselenide (Cu-MoSe2) with Cu-Mo dual sites as electrocatalysts. The electrocatalytic activity of the Cu-MoSe2 electrode is characterized by a urea yield rate of 1235 μg h-1 mgcat.-1 at -0.7 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode and a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 23.43% at -0.6 V versus RHE. Besides, a continuous urea production with an enhanced average yield rate of 9145 μg h-1 mgcat.-1 can be achieved in a flow cell. These figures represent a substantial advancement over that of the baseline MoSe2 electrode. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that Cu doping accelerates *NO2 deoxygenation and significantly decreases the energy barriers for C-N bond formation. Consequently, Cu-MoSe2 demonstrates a more favorable pathway for urea production, enhancing both the efficiency and feasibility of the process. This study offers valuable insights into electrode design and understanding of the facilitated electrochemical pathways.

Abstract
It is an effective way to reduce atmospheric CO2 via electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), while the slow oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurs at the anode with huge energy consumption. Herein, methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is used to replace OER, coupling CO2RR to achieve co-production of formate. Through enhancing OCHO* adsorption by oxygen vacancies engineering and synergistic effect by heteroatom doping, Bi/Bi2O3 and Ni─Bi(OH)3 are synthesized for efficient production of formate via simultaneous CO2RR and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), achieving that the coupling of CO2RR//MOR only required 7.26 kWh gformate -1 power input, much lower than that of CO2RR//OER (13.67 kWh gformate -1). Bi/Bi2O3 exhibits excellent electrocatalytic CO2RR performance, achieving FEformate >80% in a wide potential range from -0.7 to -1.2 V (vs RHE). For MOR, Ni─Bi(OH)3 exhibits efficient MOR catalytic performance with the FEformate >98% in the potential range of 1.35-1.6 V (vs RHE). Not only demonstrates the two-electrode systems exceptional stability, working continuously for over 250 h under a cell voltage of 3.0 V, but the cathode and anode can maintain a FE of over 80%. DFT calculation results reveal that the oxygen vacancies of Bi/Bi2O3 enhance the adsorption of OCHO* intermediate, and Ni─Bi(OH)3 reduce the energy barrier for the rate determining step, leading to high catalytic activity.

Abstract
Optimized catalytic properties and reactant adsorption energy played a crucial role in promoting CO2 electrocatalysis. Herein, Cu7S4/Cu underwent in situ dynamic restructuring to generate S-Cu2O/Cu hybrid catalyst for effective electrochemical CO2 reduction to formate that outperformed Cu2O/Cu and Cu7S4. Thermodynamic and in situ Raman spectra revealed that the optimized adsorption of the HCOO* intermediate on S-Cu2O/Cu was regulated and the H2 pathway (surface H) was suppressed by S-doping. Meanwhile, Cu7S4/Cu nanoflowers created abundant boundaries for ECR and strengthened the CO2 adsorption by inducing Cu. These findings provide a new perspective on synthetic methods for various electrocatalytic reduction processes.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction into high-value-added formic acid/formate is an attractive strategy to mitigate global warming and achieve energy sustainability. However, the adsorption energy of most catalysts for the key intermediate *OCHO is usually weak, and how to rationally optimize the adsorption of *OCHO is challenging. Here, an effective Bi-Sn bimetallic electrocatalyst (Bi1 -O-Sn1 @C) where a Bi-O-Sn bridge-type nanostructure is constructed with O as an electron bridge is reported. The electronic structure of Sn is precisely tuned by electron transfer from Bi to Sn through O bridge, resulting in the optimal adsorption energy of intermediate *OCHO on the surface of Sn and the enhanced activity for formate production. Thus, the Bi1 -O-Sn1 @C exhibits an excellent Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 97.7% at -1.1 V (vs RHE) for CO2 reduction to formate (HCOO- ) and a high current density of 310 mA cm-2 at -1.5 V, which is one of the best results catalyzed by Bi- and Sn-based catalysts reported previously. Impressively, the FE exceeds 93% at a wide potential range from -0.9 to -1.4 V. In-situ ATR-FTIR, in-situ Raman, and DFT calculations confirm the unique role of the bridge-type structure of Bi-O-Sn in highly efficient electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 into formate.

Abstract
Cu-based nanomaterials is crucial for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), but they inevitably undergo performance degradation due to structural self-reconstruction at a large current density during CO2RR. Here, we developed a pre-synthetic atomically dispersed Cu source strategy to fabricate a catalyst of stable Cu clusters anchored on N-doped carbon nanosheets (c-Cu/NC), which exhibited an exceptional electroreduction for CO2 to HCOOH with a Faradaic efficiency of up to 96.2 % at current density of 276.4 mA cm-2 at - 0.96 V vs. RHE, which surpasses most reported catalysts. Especially, there was no any decay in stability during a 100 h continuous test, attributed to a strong interaction of Cu-C for restraining its self-reconstruction during CO2RR. DFT calculations indicated that N-doped carbon can strongly stabilize Cu clusters for keeping stability and cause the downshift of d-band center of Cu on c-Cu/NC for reducing the desorption energy between c-Cu/NC and OCHO* intermediates. This work provides an effective way to construct stable Cu clusters catalysts, and unveil the origin of catalyticmechanism over Cu clusters anchored on N-doped carbon towards electrochemical conversion ofCO2 to HCOOH.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is perceived as a promising technology for freshwater production owing to its environmentally friendly nature and low energy consumption. To date, the development of high-performance electrode materials represents the foremost challenge for CDI technology. In this work, the porous bismuthene/MXene (P-Bi-ene/MXene) heterostructure was synthesized using a simple interfacial self-assembly method with two-dimensional (2D) bismuthene and Ti3C2Tx MXene. Within the P-Bi-ene/MXene heterostructure, the porous structure can increase the active site and facilitate ion transport. Simultaneously, MXene effectively enhances the conductivity of the heterostructure, resulting in accelerating electron transport. Due to these attributes, the P-Bi-ene/MXene heterostructure demonstrates high desalination capacity (90.0 mg/g), fast desalination rate, and good cycling performance. The simple self-assembly strategy between 2D/2D materials described herein may offer inspirations for the synthesis of innovative electrode materials with high performance.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to produce valuable chemicals is a promising pathway to alleviate the energy crisis and global warming issues. However, simultaneously achieving high Faradaic efficiency (FE) and current densities of CO2 RR in a wide potential range remains as a huge challenge for practical implements. Herein, we demonstrate that incorporating bismuth-based (BH) catalysts with L-histidine, a common amino acid molecule of proteins, is an effective strategy to overcome the inherent trade-off between the activity and selectivity. Benefiting from the significantly enhanced CO2 adsorption capability and promoted electron-rich nature by L-histidine integrity, the BH catalyst exhibits excellent FEformate in the unprecedented wide potential windows (>90 % within -0.1--1.8 V and >95 % within -0.2--1.6 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE). Excellent CO2 RR performance can still be achieved under the low-concentration CO2 feeding (e.g., 20 vol.%). Besides, an extremely low onset potential of -0.05 VRHE (close to the theoretical thermodynamic potential of -0.02 VRHE ) was detected by in situ ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) measurements, together with stable operation over 50 h with preserved FEformate of ≈95 % and high partial current density of 326.2 mA cm-2 at -1.0 VRHE .

Abstract
Interfacial catalysis occurs ubiquitously in electrochemical systems, such as batteries, fuel cells, and photocatalytic devices. Frequently, in such a system, the electrode material evolves dynamically at different operating voltages, and this electrochemically driven transformation usually dictates the catalytic reactivity of the material and ultimately the electrochemical performance of the device. Despite the importance of the process, comprehension of the underlying structural and compositional evolutions of the electrode material with direct visualization and quantification is still a significant challenge. In this work, we demonstrate a protocol for studying the dynamic evolution of the electrode material under electrochemical processes by integrating microscopic and spectroscopic analyses, operando magnetometry techniques, and density functional theory calculations. The presented methodology provides a real-time picture of the chemical, physical, and electronic structures of the material and its link to the electrochemical performance. Using Co(OH)2 as a prototype battery electrode and by monitoring the Co metal center under different applied voltages, we show that before a well-known catalytic reaction proceeds, an interfacial storage process occurs at the metallic Co nanoparticles/LiOH interface due to injection of spin-polarized electrons. Subsequently, the metallic Co nanoparticles act as catalytic activation centers and promote LiOH decomposition by transferring these interfacially residing electrons. Most intriguingly, at the LiOH decomposition potential, electronic structure of the metallic Co nanoparticles involving spin-polarized electrons transfer has been shown to exhibit a dynamic variation. This work illustrates a viable approach to access key information inside interfacial catalytic processes and provides useful insights in controlling complex interfaces for wide-ranging electrochemical systems.

Abstract
Transforming CO2 through electrochemical methods into useful chemicals and energy sources may contribute to solutions for global energy and ecological challenges. Copper chalcogenides exhibit unique properties that make them potential catalysts for CO2 electroreduction. In this review, we provide an overview and comment on the latest advances made in the synthesis, characterization, and performance of copper chalcogenide materials for CO2 electroreduction, focusing on the work of the last five years. Strategies to boost their performance can be classified in three groups: (1) structural and compositional tuning, (2) leveraging on heterostructures and hybrid materials, and (3) optimizing size and morphology. Despite overall progress, concerns about selectivity and stability persist and require further investigation. This review outlines future directions for developing the next-generation of copper chalcogenide materials, emphasizing on rational design and advanced characterization techniques for efficient and selective CO2 electroreduction.

Abstract
Rational regulation of the reaction pathway to produce the desired products is one of the most significant challenges in the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Herein, we designed a series of rare-earth Cu catalysts with mixed phases. It was found that the products could be switched from C2+ to CH4 by tuning the composition and structure of the catalysts. Particularly at the Cu/Sm atomic ratio of 9/1 (Cu9Sm1-Ox), the Faradaic efficiency (FE) for C2+ products (FEC2+) could reach 81% at 700 mA cm-2 with negligible CH4. However, the FE of CH4 (FECH4) was 65% at 500 mA cm-2 over Cu1Sm9-Ox (Cu/Sm = 1/9), and the FEC2+ was extremely low. Experiments and theoretical studies indicated that the stable CuSm2O4 phase existed in all the catalysts within the Cu/Sm range of 9/1 to 1/9. At a high Cu content, the catalyst was composed of CuSm2O4 and Cu phases. The small amount of Sm could enhance the binding strength of *CO and facilitate C-C coupling. Conversely, at a high Sm content, the catalyst was composed of CuSm2O4 and Sm2O3 phases. Sm could effectively stabilize bivalent Cu and enrich proton donors, lowering the reaction energy of *CO for deep hydrogenation to generate CH4. In both pathways, the stable CuSm2O4 phase could cooperate with the Cu or Sm2O3 phases, which induced the formation of different microenvironments to generate different products. This strategy also had commonality with other Cu-rare-earth (La, Pr, and Eu) catalysts to boost the CO2RR for C2+ or CH4 production.

Abstract
Sequentially managing the coverage and dimerization of *CO on the Cu catalysts is desirable for industrial-current-density CO2 reduction (CO2R) to C2+, which required the multiscale design of the surface atom/architecture. However, the oriented design is colossally difficult and even no longer valid due to unpredictable reconstruction. Here, we leverage the synchronous leaching of ligand molecules to manipulate the seeding-growth process during CO2R reconstruction and construct Cu arrays with favorable (100) facets. The gradient diffusion in the reconstructed array guarantees a higher *CO coverage, which can continuously supply the reactant to match its high-rate consumption for high partial current density for C2+. Sequentially, the lower energy barriers of *CO dimerization on the (100) facets contribute to the high selectivity of C2+. Profiting from this sequential *CO management, the reconstructed Cu array delivers an industrial-relevant FEC2+ of 86.1% and an FEC2H4 of 60.8% at 700 mA cm-2. Profoundly, the atomic-molecular scale delineation for the evolution of catalysts and reaction intermediates during CO2R can undoubtedly facilitate various electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2 RR) into value-added products is a promising strategy to reduce energy consumption and solve environmental issues. Formic acid/formate is one of the high-value, easy-to-collect, and economically viable products. Herein, the reconstructed Bi2 O2 CO3 nanosheets (BOCR NSs) are synthesized by an in situ electrochemical anion exchange strategy from Bi2 O2 SO4 as a pre-catalyst. The BOCR NSs achieve a high formate Faradaic efficiency (FEformate ) of 95.7% at -1.1 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE), and maintain FEformate above 90% in a wide potential range from -0.8 to -1.5 V in H-cell. The in situ spectroscopic studies reveal that the obtained BOCR NSs undergo the anion exchange from Bi2 O2 SO4 to Bi2 O2 CO3 and further promote the self-reduction to metallic Bi to construct Bi/BiO active site to facilitate the formation of OCHO* intermediate. This result demonstrates anion exchange strategy can be used to rational design high performance of the catalysts toward CO2 RR.

Abstract
The integration of high activity, selectivity and stability in one electrocatalyst is highly desirable for electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR), yet it is still a knotty issue. The unique electronic properties of high-nuclear clusters may bring about extraordinary catalytic performance; however, construction of a high-nuclear structure for ECR remains a challenging task. In this work, a family of calix[8]arene-protected bismuth-oxo clusters (BiOCs), including Bi4 (BiOC-1/2), Bi8Al (BiOC-3), Bi20 (BiOC-4), Bi24 (BiOC-5) and Bi40Mo2 (BiOC-6), were prepared and used as robust and efficient ECR catalysts. The Bi40Mo2 cluster in BiOC-6 is the largest metal-oxo cluster encapsulated by calix[8]arenes. As an electrocatalyst, BiOC-5 exhibited outstanding electrochemical stability and 97% Faraday efficiency for formate production at a low potential of -0.95 V vs. RHE, together with a high turnover frequency of up to 405.7 h-1. Theoretical calculations reveal that large-scale electron delocalization of BiOCs is achieved, which promotes structural stability and effectively decreases the energy barrier of rate-determining *OCHO generation. This work provides a new perspective for the design of stable high-nuclear clusters for efficient electrocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Aurivillius-type compounds ((Bi2 O2 )2+ (An -1 Bn O3 n +1 )2- ) with alternately stacked layers of bismuth oxide (Bi2 O2 )2+ and perovskite (An -1 Bn O3 n +1 )2- are promising photocatalysts for overall water splitting due to their suitable band structures and adjustable layered characteristics. However, the self-reduction of Bi3+ at the top (Bi2 O2 )2+ layers induced by photogenerated electrons during photocatalytic processes causes inactivation of the compounds as photocatalysts. Here, using Bi3 TiNbO9 as a model photocatalyst, its surface termination is modulated by acid etching, which well suppresses the self-corrosion phenomenon. A combination of comprehensive experimental investigations together with theoretical calculations reveals the transition of the material surface from the self-reduction-sensitive (Bi2 O2 )2+ layer to the robust (BiTiNbO7 )2- perovskite layer, enabling effective electron transfer through surface trapping and effective hole transfer through surface electric field, and also efficient transfer of the electrons to the cocatalyst for greatly enhanced photocatalytic overall water splitting. Moreover, this facile modification strategy can be readily extended to other Aurivillius compounds (e.g., SrBi2 Nb2 O9 , Bi4 Ti3 O12 , and SrBi4 Ti4 O15 ) and therefore justify its usefulness in rationally tailoring surface structures of layered photocatalysts for high photocatalytic overall water-splitting activity and stability.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production via the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction is a promising alternative to the energy-intensive and high-pollution anthraquinone oxidation process. However, developing advanced electrocatalysts with high H2O2 yield, selectivity, and durability is still challenging, because of the limited quantity and easy passivation of active sites on typical metal-containing catalysts, especially for the state-of-the-art single-atom ones. To address this, we report a graphene/mesoporous carbon composite for high-rate and high-efficiency 2e- oxygen reduction catalysis. The coordination of pyrrolic-N sites -modulates the adsorption configuration of the *OOH species to provide a kinetically favorable pathway for H2O2 production. Consequently, the H2O2 yield approaches 30 mol g-1 h-1 with a Faradaic efficiency of 80% and excellent durability, yielding a high H2O2 concentration of 7.2 g L-1. This strategy of manipulating the adsorption configuration of reactants with multiple non-metal active sites provides a strategy to design efficient and durable metal-free electrocatalyst for 2e- oxygen reduction.

Abstract
Developing industrial-grade electroreduction of CO2 to produce formate (HCOO-)/formic acid (HCOOH) depends on highly active electrocatalysts. However, structural changes due to the inevitable self-reduction of catalysts result in severe long-term stability issues at industrial-grade current density. Herein, linear cyanamide anion ([NCN]2-)-constructed indium cyanamide nanoparticles (InNCN) were investigated for CO2 reduction to HCOO- with a Faradaic efficiency of up to 96% under a partial current density (jformate) of 250 mA cm-2. Bulk electrolysis at a jformate of 400 mA cm-2 requires only -0.72 VRHE applied potential with iR correction. It also achieves continuous production of pure HCOOH at ∼125 mA cm-2 for 160 h. The excellent activity and stability of InNCN are attributed to its unique structural features, including strongly σ-donating [NCN]2- ligands, the potential structural transformation of [N═C═N]2- and [N≡C-N]2-, and the open framework structure. This study affirms metal cyanamides as promising novel materials for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, broadening the variety of CO2 reduction catalysts and the understanding of structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 conversion is a key technology to promote the production of carbon-containing molecules, alongside reducing CO2 emissions leading to a closed carbon cycle economy. Over the past decade, the interest to develop selective and active electrochemical devices for electrochemical CO2 reduction emerged. However, most reports employ oxygen evolution reaction as an anodic half-cell reaction causing the system to suffer from sluggish kinetics with no production of value-added chemicals. Therefore, this study reports a conceptualized paired electrolyzer for simultaneous anodic and cathodic formate production at high currents. To achieve this, CO2 reduction was coupled with glycerol oxidation: a BiOBr-modified gas-diffusion cathode and a Nix B on Ni foam anode keep their selectivity for formate in the paired electrolyzer compared to the half-cell measurements. The paired reactor here reaches a combined Faradaic efficiency for formate of 141 % (45 % anode and 96 % cathode) at a current density of 200 mA cm-2 .

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to chemical fuels such as formate offers a promising pathway to carbon-neutral future, but its practical application is largely inhibited by the lack of effective activation of CO2 molecules and pH-universal feasibility. Here, we report an electronic structure manipulation strategy to electron-rich Bi nanosheets, where electrons transfer from Cu donor to Bi acceptor in bimetallic Cu-Bi, enabling CO2 RR towards formate with concurrent high activity, selectivity and stability in pH-universal (acidic, neutral and alkaline) electrolytes. Combined in situ Raman spectra and computational calculations unravel that electron-rich Bi promotes CO2 ⋅- formation to activate CO2 molecules, and enhance the adsorption strength of *OCHO intermediate with an up-shifted p-band center, thus leading to its superior activity and selectivity of formate. Further integration of the robust electron-rich Bi nanosheets into III-V-based photovoltaic solar cell results in an unassisted artificial leaf with a high solar-to-formate (STF) efficiency of 13.7 %.

Abstract
2D BiCuSeO is an intrinsic p-type degenerate semiconductor due to its self-doping effect, which possesses great potential to fabricate high-performance 2D-2D tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs). However, the controllable synthesis of multinary 2D materials by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is still a challenge due to the restriction of thermodynamics. Here, the CVD synthesis of quaternary 2D BiCuSeO nanosheets is realized. As-grown BiCuSeO nanosheets with thickness down to ≈6.1 nm (≈7 layers) and domain size of ≈277 µm show excellent ambient stability. Intrinsic p-type degeneracy of BiCuSeO, capable of maintaining even in a few layers, is comprehensively unveiled. By varying the thicknesses and temperatures, the carrier concentration of BiCuSeO nanosheets can be adjusted in the range of 1019 to 1021 cm-3 , and the Hall mobility of BiCuSeO is ≈191 cm2 V-1 s-1 (at 2 K). Furthermore, taking advantage of the p-type degeneracy of BiCuSeO, a prototypical BiCuSeO/MoS2 TFET is fabricated. The emergence of the negative differential resistance trend and multifunctional diodes by modulating the gate voltage and temperature reveal the great practical implementation potential of BiCuSeO nanosheets. These results pave way for the CVD synthesis of multinary 2D materials and rational design of high-performance tunnel devices.

Abstract
Operando reconstruction of solid catalyst into a distinct active state frequently occurs during electrocatalytic processes. The correlation between initial and operando states, if ever existing, is critical for the understanding and precise design of a catalytic system. Inspired by recently established intermediate metallic state of Bi-based catalysts during electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR), here we investigate a series of Bi oxide catalysts (Bi, Bi2O3, BiO2) and demonstrate that the operando surface/subsurface oxygen loading, positively correlated to the initial oxygen content, plays a critical role in determining Bi-based CO2RR performance. Higher initial oxygen loading indicates a better electrocatalytic efficiency. Further analysis shows that this conclusion generally applies to all Bi-based electrocatalysts reported up to date. Following this principle, cost-effective BiO2 nanocrystals demonstrated the highest formate Faradaic efficiency (FE) and current density compared to Bi/Bi2O3, further allowing a pair-electrolysis system with 800 mA/cm2 current density and an overall 175% FE for formate production.
