Abstract
The development of alternative alloy catalysts with high activity, surpassing platinum group metals, for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is urgently needed in the field of electrocatalysis. The Ag-based single-atom alloy (AgSAA) cluster has been proposed as a promising catalyst for the ORR; however, enhancing its activity under operational conditions remains challenging due to limited insights into its actual active site. Here, we demonstrate that the operando formation of the MO x (OH) y complex serves as the key active site for catalyzing the ORR over AgSAA cluster catalysts, as revealed through comprehensive neural network potential molecular dynamics simulations combined with first-principles calculations. The volcano plot of the ORR over the MO x (OH) y complex addresses the gaps inherent in traditional metallic alloy models for pure AgSAA cluster catalysts in ORR catalysis. The appropriate orbital hybridization between OH and the dopant metal in the MO x (OH) y complexes indicated that the Ag54Co1, Ag54Pd1, and Ag54Au1 clusters are optimal AgSAA catalysts for the ORR. Our work underscores the significance of theoretical modeling considering the reaction atmosphere in uncovering the true active site for the ORR, which can be extended to other reaction systems for rational catalyst design.

Abstract
The outstanding catalytic properties of single-atom catalysts (SACs) stem from the maximum atom utilization and unique quantum size effects, leading to ever-increasing research interest in SACs in recent years. Ru-based SACs, which have shown excellent catalytic activity and selectivity, have been brought to the frontier of the research field due to their lower cost compared with other noble catalysts. The synthetic approaches for preparing Ru SACs are rather diverse in the open literature, covering a wide range of applications. In this review paper, we attempt to disclose the synthetic approaches for Ru-based SACs developed in the most recent years, such as defect engineering, coordination design, ion exchange, the dipping method, and electrochemical deposition etc., and discuss their representative applications in both electrochemical and organic reaction fields, with typical application examples given of: Li-CO2 batteries, N2 reduction, water splitting and oxidation of benzyl alcohols. The mechanisms behind their enhanced catalytic performance are discussed and their structure-property relationships are revealed in this review. Finally, future prospects and remaining unsolved issues with Ru SACs are also discussed so that a roadmap for the further development of Ru SACs is established.

Abstract
The insufficient availability and activity of interfacial water remain a major challenge for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, we propose an "on-site disruption and near-site compensation" strategy to reform the interfacial water hydrogen bonding network via deliberate cation penetration and catalyst support engineering. This concept is validated using tip-like bimetallic RuNi nanoalloys planted on super-hydrophilic and high-curvature carbon nanocages (RuNi/NC). Theoretical simulations suggest that tip-induced localized concentration of hydrated K+ facilitates optimization of interfacial water dynamics and intermediate adsorption. In situ synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy endorses an H* spillover-bridged Volmer‒Tafel mechanism synergistically relayed between Ru and Ni. Consequently, RuNi/NC exhibits low overpotential of 12 mV and high durability of 1600 h at 10 mA cm‒2 for alkaline HER, and demonstrates high performance in both water electrolysis and chlor-alkali electrolysis. This strategy offers a microscopic perspective on catalyst design for manipulation of the local interfacial water structure toward enhanced HER kinetics.

Abstract
Manipulating the local coordination environment of central metal atoms in single-atom catalysts (SACs) is a powerful strategy to exploit efficient SACs with optimal electronic structures for various applications. Herein, Co-SACs featured by Co single atoms with coordinating S atoms in the second shell dispersed in a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix have been developed toward the selective hydrogenation of halo-nitrobenzene. The location of the S atom in the model Co-SAC is verified through synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The resultant Co-SACs containing second-coordination shell S atoms demonstrate excellent activity and outstanding durability for selective hydrogenation, superior to most precious metal-based catalysts. In situ characterizations and theoretical results verify that high activity and selectivity are attributed to the advantageous formation of the Co-O bond between p-chloronitrobenzene and Co atom at Co1N4-S moieties and the lower free energy and energy barriers of the reaction. Our findings unveil the correlation between the performance and second-shell coordination atom of SACs.

Abstract
Harvesting solar energy to produce value-added chemicals from carbon dioxide (CO2) presents a promising route for addressing the complexities of sustainable energy systems and environmental issues. In this context, the development of metal-coordinated porous organic polymers (POPs) offers a vital avenue for improving the photocatalytic performance of organic motifs. The current study presents a metal-integrated photocatalytic system (namely, Zn@BP-POP) developed via a one-pot Friedel-Crafts (F.C.) acylation strategy, for solid-gas phase photochemical CO2 reduction to CO (CO2RR). The postsynthetic incorporation of metal (Zn) active sites on the host polymeric backbone of BP-POP significantly influences the catalytic activity. Notably, Zn@BP-POP demonstrates good photocatalytic performance in the absence of any cocatalyst and photosensitizer yielding CO while impeding the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from water. The experimental findings collectively propose that the observed catalytic activity and selectivity arise from the synergistic interplay between the singular zinc catalytic centers and the light-harvesting capacity of the highly conjugated polymeric backbone. Further, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis has significantly highlighted the prominent role played by the ZnN2O4 single sites in the polymeric framework for activating the gaseous CO2 molecules. Further, time-dependent density functional theory (DFT) analysis also reveals the thermodynamic feasibility of CO2RR over HER under optimized reaction conditions. This work cumulatively presents an effective strategy to demonstrate the importance of metal-active sites and effectively establish their structure-activity relationship during photocatalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalysts based on single atoms (SAs) modification can lead to unprecedented reactivity with recent advances. However, the deactivation of SAs-modified photocatalysts remains a critical challenge in the field of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. In this study, we unveil the detrimental effect of CO intermediates on Cu single atoms (Cu-SAs) during photocatalytic CO2 reduction, leading to clustering and deactivation on TiO2. To address this, we developed a novel Cu-SAs anchored on Au porous nanoparticles (CuAu-SAPNPs-TiO2) via a vectored etching approach. This system not only enhances CH4 production with a rate of 748.8 μmol ⋅ g-1 ⋅ h-1 and 93.1 % selectivity but also mitigates Cu-SAs clustering, maintaining stability over 7 days. This sustained high performance, despite the exceptionally high efficiency and selectivity in CH4 production, highlights the CuAu-SAPNPs-TiO2 overarching superior photocatalytic properties. Consequently, this work underscores the potential of tailored SAs-based systems for efficient and durable CO2 reduction by reshaping surface adsorption dynamics and optimizing the thermodynamic behavior of the SAs.

Abstract
Single-atom alloys (SAAs) have gained increasing prominence in the field of selective hydrogenation reactions due to their uniform distribution of active sites and the unique host-guest metal interactions. Herein, 15 SAAs are constructed to comprehensively elucidate the relationship between host-guest metal interaction and catalytic performance in the selective hydrogenation of 4-nitrostyrene (4-NS) by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results demonstrate that the SAAs with strong host-guest metal interactions exhibit a preference for N─O bond cleavage, and the reaction energy barrier of the hydrogenation process is primarily influenced by the host metal. Among them, Ir1Ni SAA stands out as the prime catalyst candidate, showcasing exceptional activity and selectivity. Furthermore, the Ir1Ni SAA is subsequently prepared through precise synthesis techniques and evaluated in the selective hydrogenation of 4-NS to 4-aminostyrene (4-AS). As anticipated, the Ir1Ni SAA demonstrates extraordinary catalytic performance (yield > 96%). In situ FT-IR experiments and DFT calculations further confirmed that the unique host-guest metal interaction at the Ir-Ni interface site of Ir1Ni SAA endows it with excellent 4-NS selective hydrogenation ability. This work provides valuable insights into enhancing the performance of SAAs catalysts in selective hydrogenation reactions by modulating the host-guest metal interactions.

Abstract
The ideal interface design between the metal and substrate is crucial in determining the overall performance of the alkyne semihydrogenation reaction. Single-atom alloys (SAAs) with isolated dispersed active centers are ideal media for the study of reaction effects. Herein, a charge-asymmetry "armor" SAA (named Pd1Fe SAA@PC), which consists of a Pd1Fe alloy core and a semiconducting P-doped C (PC) shell, is rationally designed as an ideal catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of alkynes with high efficiency. Multiple spectroscopic analyses and density functional theory calculations have demonstrated that Pd1Fe SAA@PC is dual-regulated by lattice tensile and Schottky effects, which govern the selectivity and activity of hydrogenation, respectively. (1) The PC shell layer applied an external traction force causing a 1.2% tensile strain inside the Pd1Fe alloy to increase the reaction selectivity. (2) P doping into the C-shell layer realized a transition from a p-type semiconductor to an n-type semiconductor, thereby forming a unique Schottky junction for advancing alkyne semihydrogenation activity. The dual regulation of lattice strain and the Schottky effect ensures the excellent performance of Pd1Fe SAA@PC in the semihydrogenation reaction of phenylethylene, achieving a conversion rate of 99.9% and a selectivity of 98.9% at 4 min. These well-defined interface modulation strategies offer a practical approach for the rational design and performance optimization of semihydrogenation catalysts.

Abstract
Single-atom alloy (SAA) catalysts exhibit unique and excellent catalytic properties in heterogeneous hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions. A thorough understanding of the microscopic surface processes is essential to improve the catalytic performance. Here, from a new perspective of the temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) spectra of hydrogen (H) on two common SAA surfaces, Pt@Cu(111) and Pd@Cu(111), we reveal and confirm the key influence of H atoms attached to Pt/Pd dopants, i.e., the H atom bystander, on the desorption process of surface H atoms. It is found that only after considering the effect of the H atom bystander can the simulated TPD spectra well reproduce the experimentally observed higher desorption temperature on Pt@Cu(111) than on Pd@Cu(111) and the leftward shift of the TPD peak with increasing H atom coverage; otherwise, the features are inconsistent with experiments. Our work provides direct evidence for the effect of bystander H atoms from a simulation perspective.

Abstract
Single-atom alloys (SAAs) have attracted considerable attention as promising electrocatalysts in reactions central to energy conversion and chemical transformation. In contrast to monometallic nanocrystals and metal alloys, SAAs possess unique and intriguing physicochemical properties, positioning them as ideal model systems for studying structure-property relationships. However, the field is still in its early stages. In this Perspective, we first review and summarize rational synthesis methods and advanced characterization techniques for SAA nanoparticle catalysts. We then emphasize the extensive applications of SAAs in a range of electrocatalytic reactions, including fuel cell reactions, water splitting, and carbon dioxide and nitrate reductions. Finally, we provide insights into existing challenges and prospects associated with the controlled synthesis, characterization, and design of SAA catalysts.

Heterogeneous Rhodium Single-Atom-Site Catalyst Enables Chemoselective Carbene N-H Bond Insertion. J Am Chem Soc 2024; 146:10847-10856.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed carbene insertion reactions of a nitrogen-hydrogen bond have emerged as robust and versatile methods for the construction of C-N bonds. While significant progress of homogeneous catalytic metal carbene N-H insertions has been achieved, the control of chemoselectivity in the field remains challenging due to the high electrophilicity of the metal carbene intermediates. Herein, we present an efficient strategy for the synthesis of a rhodium single-atom-site catalyst (Rh-SA) that incorporates a Rh atom surrounded by three nitrogen atoms and one phosphorus atom doped in a carbon support. This Rh-SA catalyst, with a catalyst loading of only 0.15 mol %, exhibited exceptional catalytic performance for heterogeneous carbene insertion with various anilines and heteroaryl amines in combination with diazo esters. Importantly, the heterogeneous catalyst selectively transformed aniline derivatives bearing multiple nucleophilic moieties into single N-H insertion isomers, while the popular homogeneous Rh2(OAc)4 catalyst produced a mixture of overfunctionalized side products. Additionally, similar selectivities for N-H bond insertion with a set of stereoelectronically diverse diazo esters were obtained, highlighting the general applicability of this heterogeneous catalysis approach. On the basis of density functional theory calculations, the observed selectivity of the Rh-SA catalyst was attributed to the insertion barriers and the accelerated proton transfer assisted by the phosphorus atom in the support. Overall, this investigation of heterogeneous metal-catalyzed carbene insertion underscores the potential of single-atom-site catalysis as a powerful and complementary tool in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The solvent-free selective hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to azoxy compounds is highly important, yet challenging. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to construct individually dispersed Co atoms decorated on niobium pentaoxide nanomeshes with unique geometric and electronic properties. The use of this supported Co single atom catalysts in the selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to azoxybenzene results in high catalytic activity and selectivity, with 99% selectivity and 99% conversion within 0.5 h. Remarkably, it delivers an exceptionally high turnover frequency of 40377 h-1, which is amongst similar state-of-the-art catalysts. In addition, it demonstrates remarkable recyclability, reaction scalability, and wide substrate scope. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the catalytic activity and selectivity are significantly promoted by the unique electronic properties and strong electronic metal-support interaction in Co1/Nb2O5. The absence of precious metals, toxic solvents, and reagents makes this catalyst more appealing for synthesizing azoxy compounds from nitroaromatics. Our findings suggest the great potential of this strategy to access single atom catalysts with boosted activity and selectivity, thus offering blueprints for the design of nanomaterials for organocatalysis.

Abstract
Designing catalysts to proceed with catalytic reactions along the desired reaction pathways, e.g., CO2 methanation, has received much attention but remains a huge challenge. This work reports one Ru1Ni single-atom alloy (SAA) catalyst (Ru1Ni/SiO2) prepared via a galvanic replacement reaction between RuCl3 and Ni nanoparticles (NPs) derived from the reduction of Ni phyllosilicate (Ni-ph). Ru1Ni/SiO2 achieved much improved selectivity toward hydrogenation of CO2 to CH4 and catalytic activity (Turnover frequency (TOF) value: 40.00 × 10-3 s-1), much higher than those of Ni/SiO2 (TOF value: 4.40 × 10-3 s-1) and most reported Ni-based catalysts (TOF value: 1.03 × 10-3-11.00 × 10-3 s-1). Experimental studies verify that Ru single atoms are anchored onto the Ni NPs surface via the Ru1-Ni coordination accompanied by electron transfer from Ru1 to Ni. Both in situ experiments and theoretical calculations confirm that the interface sites of Ru1Ni-SAA are the intrinsic active sites, which promote the direct dissociation of CO2 and lower the energy barrier for the hydrogenation of CO* intermediate, thereby directing and enhancing the CO2 hydrogenation to CH4.

Abstract
Plastic hydrogenolysis is an attractive approach for producing value-added chemicals due to its mild reaction conditions, but controlling product distribution is challenging due to the formation of undesired CH4. This work reports several bimetallic RuM3/CeO2 (M = Fe, Co, Ni) catalysts that shift the product of low-density polyethylene hydrogenolysis toward longer-chain hydrocarbons. These catalysts were characterized by using X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, electron microscopy imaging, and H2 temperature-programmed reduction. The combined catalytic evaluation and characterization results revealed that the product distribution was regulated by the formation of bimetallic alloys. A model compound, n-hexadecane, was selected to further understand the differences in hydrogenolysis over the Ru-based catalysts. Although a longer reaction time shifted the product toward smaller molecules, the bimetallic (RuCo3/CeO2) catalyst limited the further conversion of C2-C5 into CH4. This work highlights the role of bimetallic alloys in tailoring the interaction with hydrocarbons, thereby controlling the product distribution of polymer hydrogenolysis.

Abstract
Exploring an active and cost-effective electrocatalyst alternative to carbon-supported platinum nanoparticles for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have remained elusive to date. Here, we report a catalyst based on platinum single atoms (SAs) doped into the hetero-interfaced Ru/RuO2 support (referred to as Pt-Ru/RuO2), which features a low HER overpotential, an excellent stability and a distinctly enhanced cost-based activity compared to commercial Pt/C and Ru/C in 1 M KOH. Advanced physico-chemical characterizations disclose that the sluggish water dissociation is accelerated by RuO2 while Pt SAs and the metallic Ru facilitate the subsequent H* combination. Theoretical calculations correlate with the experimental findings. Furthermore, Pt-Ru/RuO2 only requires 1.90 V to reach 1 A cm-2 and delivers a high price activity in the anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer, outperforming the benchmark Pt/C. This research offers a feasible guidance for developing the noble metal-based catalysts with high performance and low cost toward practical H2 production.

Abstract
Bimetallic PtRu are promising electrocatalysts for hydrogen oxidation reaction in anion exchange membrane fuel cell, where the activity and stability are still unsatisfying. Here, PtRu nanowires were implanted with a series of oxophilic metal atoms (named as i-M-PR), significantly enhancing alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) activity and stability. With the dual doping of In and Zn atoms, the i-ZnIn-PR/C shows mass activity of 10.2 A mgPt+Ru-1 at 50 mV, largely surpassing that of commercial Pt/C (0.27 A mgPt-1) and PtRu/C (1.24 A mgPt+Ru-1). More importantly, the peak power density and specific power density are as high as 1.84 W cm-2 and 18.4 W mgPt+Ru-1 with a low loading (0.1 mg cm-2) anion exchange membrane fuel cell. Advanced experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations collectively suggest that dual doping with In and Zn atoms optimizes the binding strengths of intermediates and promotes CO oxidation, enhancing the HOR performances. This work deepens the understanding of developing novel alloy catalysts, which will attract immediate interest in materials, chemistry, energy and beyond.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation of nitrostyrenes is a great challenge due to the competitive activation of the nitro groups (─NO2 ) and carbon-carbon (C═C) double bonds. Photocatalysis has emerged as an alternative to thermocatalysis for the selective hydrogenation reaction, bypassing the precious metal costs and harsh conditions. Herein, two crystalline phases of layered ternary sulfide Cu2 WS4 , that is, body-centered tetragonal I-Cu2 WS4 nanosheets and primitive tetragonal P-Cu2 WS4 nanoflowers, are controlled synthesized by adjusting the capping agents. Remarkably, these nanostructures show visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance for selective hydrogenation of 3-nitrostyrene under mild conditions. In detail, the I-Cu2 WS4 nanosheets show excellent conversion of 3-nitrostyrene (99.9%) and high selectivity for 3-vinylaniline (98.7%) with the assistance of Na2 S as a hole scavenger. They also can achieve good hydrogenation selectivity to 3-ethylnitrobenzene (88.5%) with conversion as high as 96.3% by using N2 H4 as a proton source. Mechanism studies reveal that the photogenerated electrons and in situ generated protons from water participate in the former hydrogenation pathway, while the latter requires the photogenerated holes and in situ generated reactive oxygen species to activate the N2 H4 to form cis-N2 H2 for further reduction. The present work expands the rational synthesis of ternary sulfide nanostructures and their potential application for solar-energy-driven organic transformations.

Abstract
Ammonia is an essential commodity in the food and chemical industry. Despite the energy-intensive nature, the Haber-Bosch process is the only player in ammonia production at large scales. Developing other strategies is highly desirable, as sustainable and decentralized ammonia production is crucial. Electrochemical ammonia production by directly reducing nitrogen and nitrogen-based moieties powered by renewable energy sources holds great potential. However, low ammonia production and selectivity rates hamper its utilization as a large-scale ammonia production process. Creating effective and selective catalysts for the electrochemical generation of ammonia is critical for long-term nitrogen fixation. Single-atom alloys (SAAs) have become a new class of materials with distinctive features that may be able to solve some of the problems with conventional heterogeneous catalysts. The design and optimization of SAAs for electrochemical ammonia generation have recently been significantly advanced. This comprehensive review discusses these advancements from theoretical and experimental research perspectives, offering a fundamental understanding of the development of SAAs for ammonia production.

Abstract
Light-driven hydrogenation of nitro compounds to functionalized amines is of great importance yet a challenge for practical applications, which calls for the development of high-performance, nonprecious photocatalysts and efficient catalytic systems. Herein, we report a high-efficiency Fe3O4@TiO2 photocatalyst via a sol-gel and subsequent pyrolysis strategy, which exhibits desirable photothermal hydrogenation performance of nitro compounds to functionalized amines with the excellent selectivity of >90% exceeding those of the state-of-the-art heterogeneous photocatalysts. Our experimental results and theoretical calculations for the first time reveal that Fe3O4 is the major active phase, and the strong metal-support interaction between Fe3O4 and reducible TiO2 further leads to performance improvement, taking advantage of the enhanced photothermal effect and the improved adsorption for the reactant and hydrazine hydrate. Notably, a variety of halonitrobenzenes and pharmaceutical intermediates can be completely converted to functionalized amines with high selectivities, even in gram-scale reactions. This work provides a new insight into the rational design of nonprecious photo/thermo-catalysts for other catalytic reactions.

Abstract
By substituting the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with the anodic urea oxidation reaction (UOR), it not only reduces energy consumption for green hydrogen generation but also allows purification of urea-rich wastewater. Spin engineering of the d orbital and oxygen-containing adsorbates has been recognized as an effective pathway for enhancing the performance of electrocatalysts. In this work, we report the fabrication of a bifunctional electrocatalyst composed of amorphous RuO2-coated NiO ultrathin nanosheets (a-RuO2/NiO) with abundant amorphous/crystalline interfaces for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and UOR. Impressively, only 1.372 V of voltage is required to attain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 over a urea electrolyzer. The increased oxygen vacancies in a-RuO2/NiO by incorporation of amorphous RuO2 enhance the total magnetization and entail numerous spin-polarized electrons during the reaction, which speeds up the UOR reaction kinetics. The density functional theory study reveals that the amorphous/crystalline interfaces promote charge-carrier transfer, and the tailored d-band center endows the optimized adsorption of oxygen-generated intermediates. This kind of oxygen vacancy induced spin-polarized electrons toward boosting HER and UOR kinetics and provides a reliable reference for exploration of advanced electrocatalysts.

Abstract
It is very important to understand the structure-performance relationship of metal catalysts by adjusting the microstructure of catalysts at the atomic scale. The atomic distance has an essential influence on the composition of the environment of active metal atom, which is a key factor for the design of targeted catalysts with desired function. In this review, we discuss and summarize strategies for changing the atomic distance from three aspects and relate their effects on the reactivity of catalysts. First, the effects of regulating bond length between metal and coordination atom at one single-atom site on the catalytic performance are introduced. The bond lengths are affected by the strain effect of the support and high-shell doping and can evolve during the reaction. Next, the influence of the distance between single-atom sites on the catalytic performance is discussed. Due to the space matching of adsorption and electron transport, the catalytic performance can be adjusted with the shortening of site distance. In addition, the effect of the arrangement spacing of the surface metal active atoms on the catalytic performance of metal nanocatalysts is studied. Finally, a comprehensive summary and outlook of the relationship between atomic distance and catalytic performance is given.

Abstract
The low-potential hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) can replace the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and thus assemble with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), consequently achieving energy-saving hydrogen (H2) production. Notably, developing sophisticated bifunctional electrocatalysts for HER and HzOR is a prerequisite for efficient H2 production. Alloying noble metals with eligible non-precious ones can increase affordability, catalytic activity, and stability, alongside rendering bifunctionality. Herein, RuNi alloy deposited onto carbon (RuNi/C) was directly prepared by a simple and highly practical co-reduction method, showing excellent performance for HER and HzOR. Interestingly, to achieve 10 mA cm-2, RuNi/C only required an ultralow potential of 24 mV for HER, on par with commercial 20 wt% platinum in carbon (Pt/C), and -65 mV for HzOR, surpassing most reported counterparts. Moreover, the two-electrode electrolyzer only required small operation voltages of 57.8 and 327 mV to drive 10 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively. Driven by a homemade hydrazine (N2H4) fuel cell and solar panel, appreciable H2 yields of 1.027 and 1.406 mmol h-1 were achieved, respectively, exhibiting the energy-saving advantages alongside robust practicability. Moreover, theoretical calculations revealed that alloying with Ru endows bifunctional Ni sites not only with a lower H2O dissociation barrier but also with more favorable H* adsorption alongside the reduced energy barrier between HzOR intermediates.

Abstract
An efficient visible-light-induced iron-catalyzed reduction of nitroarenes to anilines by using N-ethylmorpholine (NEM) as a reductant under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction proceeds with photosensitizer-free conditions and features good to excellent yields and broad functional group tolerance. Preliminary mechanistic investigations showed that this reaction was conducted via ligand-to-metal (NEM to Fe3+) charge transfer and nitro triplet biradical-induced hydrogen atom transfer processes.

Abstract
To form high-density metal/oxide interfacial active sites, we developed a catalyst preparation method based on hybrid clustering. An iridium-molybdenum (Ir-Mo) hybrid clustering catalyst was prepared by using the hybrid cluster [(IrCp*)4Mo4O16] (Cp* = η5-C5Me5) as the precursor. The Ir-Mo hybrid clustering catalyst selectively reduced the nitro group in the hydrogenation of 4-nitrostyrene, whereas the coimpregnated Ir-Mo catalyst reduced both the nitro and vinyl groups nonselectively. The hybrid clustering catalyst also exhibited high selectivity, even at a high Ir loading (5 wt %), in contrast to Ir/MoO3, which exhibited high selectivity only at low Ir loadings (<0.3 wt %). In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis revealed that oxygen vacancies were formed at the Ir/MoOx interface in the presence of H2. We concluded that a high-density Ir/MoOx interface contributes to the preferential adsorption of nitro groups on vacant sites, promoting the selective hydrogenation of nitro groups.

Organic electrocatalytic conversion is an essential pathway for the green conversion of low-cost organic compounds to high-value chemicals, which urgently demands the development of efficient electrocatalysts. Here, we report a Cu single-atom dispersed Rh metallene arrays on Cu foam for cathodic nitrobenzene electroreduction reaction and anodic methanol oxidation reaction. In the coupled electrocatalytic system, the Cusingle-atom-Rh metallene arrays on Cu foam requires only the low voltages of 1.18 V to reach current densities of 100 mA cm-2 for generating aniline and formate, with up to ~100% of nitrobenzene conversion/ aniline selectivity and over ~90% of formate Faraday efficiency, achieving synthesis of high-value chemicals. Density functional theory calculations reveal the electron effect between Cu single-atom and Rh host and catalytic reaction mechanism. The synergistic catalytic effect and H*-spillover effect can improve catalytic reaction process and reduce energy barrier for reaction process, thus enhancing electrocatalytic reaction activity and target product selectivity.

Abstract
CO2 conversion is an anticipated route to resolve the energy crisis and environmental pollution, in which electrocatalysis is one of the technologies closest to industrialization. Alloy catalysts are promising candidates for electrocatalysis, and the high tenability in electronic structures and surface physical and chemical properties allows alloy catalysts high catalytic activity and selectivity for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. Herein, the recent advances in alloy catalysts for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction have been systematically summarized, with insight into the structure of the active center, catalytic performance, and mechanism, to uncover the key to their high catalytic performance. The alloy catalysts are mainly classified as binary and multi-metallic alloys (medium entropy and high entropy alloy) based on components and mixed configuration entropy, on which the relationship among the active center, catalytic performance, and mechanism has been fully discussed to inspire the rational design of alloy catalysts. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives are presented to propose the dilemma and development direction for alloy catalysts.

Abstract
The hydrogenation of nitroarenes to aromatic amines with H2 under solvent-free conditions in place of organic solvents is a crucial process for the synthesis of fine chemicals. However, the catalysts that have been identified so far are relatively inactive with primary nitroarenes under solvent-free conditions. Herein, ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC)-supported highly dispersed Ru nanoparticles (Ru NPs) were easily prepared by using a coordination-assisted solvent evaporation induced co-assembly method, where 8-hydroxyquinoline exerts a significant influence on the mesostructure ordering and specific surface area of the Ru/OMC composites. The ultrasmall-sized Ru NPs (∼2.0 nm) supported on ordered mesoporous carbon were then applied in the hydrogenation of nitroarenes, exhibiting high activity and selectivity for numerous structurally diverse nitroarenes under solvent-free conditions. Compared with Ru/OMC-imp and Ru/AC-imp, Ru/OMC-800 exhibited a much higher activity and selectivity for hydrogenation of nitroarenes, suggesting its overwhelmingly better performance than OMC or AC supporting noble NPs by simple impregnation method. The strong metal-support interaction is capable of stabilizing the Ru NPs and achieving good recyclability as well as high selectivity.

Abstract
Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) based on non-noble-metal catalysts has emerged as an environmentally friendly way for the utilization of biomass resources. However, the development of efficient and stable non-noble-metal catalysts is crucially challenging due to their inherent inactivity. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF)-transformed CoAl nanotube catalyst (CoAl NT160-H) with unique confinement effect was developed via a "MOF transformation and reduction" strategy, which exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the CTH reaction of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) with isopropanol (2-PrOH) as the H donor. Comprehensive characterizations and experimental investigations uncovered that the confined effect of the ultrathin amorphous Al2O3 nanotubes could modulate the electronic structure and enhance the Lewis acidity of Co nanoparticles (NPs), thus contributing to the adsorption and activation of LA and 2-PrOH. The synergy between the electropositive Co NPs and Lewis acid-base sites of the CoAl NT160-H catalyst facilitated the transfer of α-H in 2-PrOH to the C atom of carbonyl in LA during the CTH process via a Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley mechanism. Moreover, the confined Co NPs embedded on am-Al2O3 nanotubes endowed the CoAl NT160-H catalyst with superior stability and the catalytic activity was nearly unchanged for at least ten cycles, far surpassing that of the Co/am-Al2O3 catalyst prepared by the traditional impregnation method.

Abstract
Reasonable construction of bi-function catalysts with well dispersed hydrogenation active sites and acidic sites are crucial for the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of biomass-derived compounds but still a huge challenge. Herein, a 3D Mo functionalized Ni-based bimetallic embedded catalyst with fine metal nanoparticles size (<6 nm) was prepared for the first time using dendritic mesoporous silica as a sacrificial template by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis and adopted in the HDO process of vanillin (VAN) upgrade to 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP). The characterization results illustrated that Mo species regulated the acidity of the catalyst and promoted the formation of Ni-Mo alloy sites. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further unveiled that Ni-Mo alloy sites promoted the activation and dissociation of CO bond in VAN, enhanced the ability of protonation hydrogenolysis. Benefitting from the synergistic effect of the highly uniformly dispersed hydrogenation metal sites and acidic sites, nearly 100% yield of MMP could obtained over the designed catalyst under mild conditions (130 °C, 1.5 MPa H2, 3 h, 10 wt% catalyst dosage). Additionally, the NiMo0.1@MSN catalyst displayed robust activity for no less than 8 recycles and excellent universality for the HDO of a variety of lignin derivatives and biomass platform molecules, which provide a feasible strategy for the construction of 3D confined catalysts for the high-efficiency HDO of biomass derivatives.

Abstract
Involving eight electron transfer process and multiple intermediates of nitrate (NO3 - ) reduction reaction leads to a sluggish kinetic and low Faradaic efficiency, therefore, it is essential to get an insight into the reaction mechanism to develop highly efficient electrocatalyst. Herein, a series of reduced-graphene-oxide-supported RuCu alloy catalysts (Rux Cux /rGO) are fabricated and used for the direct reduction of NO3 - to NH3 . It is found that the Ru1 Cu10 /rGO shows the ammonia formation rate of 0.38 mmol cm-2 h-1 (loading 1 mg cm-2 ) and the ammonia Faradaic efficiency of 98% under an ultralow potential of -0.05 V versus Reversible Hydrogen Electode (RHE), which is comparable to Ru catalyst. The highly efficient activity of Ru1 Cu10 /rGO can be attributed to the synergetic effect between Ru and Cu sites via a relay catalysis, in which the Cu shows the exclusively efficient activity for the reduction of NO3 - to NO2 - and Ru exhibits the superior activity for NO2 - to NH3 . In addition, the doping of Ru into Cu tunes the d-band center of alloy and effectively modulates the adsorption energy of the NO3 - and NO2 - , which promotes the direct reduction of NO3 - to NH3 . This synergetic electrocatalysis strategy opens a new avenue for developing highly efficient multifunctional catalysts.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions in fine chemical industry, and the activation of H2 is the key step for hydrogenation. Catalysts play a critical role in selective hydrogenation, and some single-atom catalysts (SACs) are highly capable of activating H2 in selective hydrogenation by virtue of the maximized atom utilization and the highly uniform active sites. Therefore, more research efforts are needed for the rational design of SACs with superior H2 -activating capabilities. Herein, the research progress on H2 activation in typical hydrogenation systems (such as alkyne hydrogenation, hydroformylation, hydrodechlorination, hydrodeoxygenation, nitroaromatics hydrogenation, and polycyclic aromatics hydrogenation) is reviewed, the mechanisms of SACs for H2 activation are summarized, and the structural regulation strategies for SACs are proposed to promote H2 activation and provide schemes for the design of high-selectivity hydrogenation catalysts from the atomic scale. At the end of this review, an outlook on the opportunities and challenges for SACs to be developed for selective hydrogenation is presented.

Abstract
N-doped mesoporous carbon spheres (NHMC@mSiO2 ) encapsulated in silica shells were prepared by emulsion polymerization and domain-limited carbonization using ethylenediamine as the nitrogen source, and Ru-Ni alloy catalysts were prepared for the hydrogenation of α-pinene in the aqueous phase. The internal cavities of this nanomaterial are lipophilic, enhancing mass transfer and enrichment of the reactants, and the hydrophilic silica shell enhances the dispersion of the catalyst in water. N-doping allows more catalytically active metal particles to be anchored to the amphiphilic carrier, enhancing its catalytic activity and stability. In addition, a synergistic effect between Ru and Ni significantly enhances the catalytic activity. The factors influencing the hydrogenation of α-pinene were investigated, and the optimum reaction conditions were determined to be as follows: 100 °C, 1.0 MPa H2 , 3 h. The high stability and recyclability of the Ru-Ni alloy catalyst were demonstrated through cycling experiments.

Abstract
In theory, electrocatalysts in their metallic forms should be the most stable chemical state under cathodic potentials. It is known that the highly dispersed nanoparticle (NP) types of electrocatalysts often possess higher activity than their bulk counterparts. However, facilely and controllably fabricating well-dispersed nonprecious metal NPs with superior electrocatalytic activity, selectivity, and durability is highly challenging. Here, we report a facile reductive pyrolysis approach to controllably synthesize NiCo alloy NPs confined on the tip of N-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) from a bimetal-MOF precursor. The electrocatalytic performance of the resultant NiCo@N-CNTs are evaluated by a wide spectrum of nitroarene reductive coupling reactions to produce azoxy-benzenes, a class of precious chemicals for textile, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. The superior electrocatalytic stability, full conversion of nitroarenes, >99% selectivities, and >97% faradic efficiencies toward the targeted azoxy-benzene products are readily attainable by NiCo@N-CNTs, attributable to the alloying-induced synergetic effect. The presence of a CNT confinement effect in NiCo@N-CNTs induces high stability. This added to the metallic states of NiCo empowers NiCo@N-CNTs with excellent electrochemical stability under reductive reaction conditions. In an effort to enhance the energy utilization efficiency, we construct a NiCo@N-CNTs||Ni(OH)2/NF two-electrode electrolyzer to simultaneously reduce nitrobenzene at the cathode and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural with >99% yields for both azoxy-benzene and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.

This work critically reviews the recent advances and current status of single-atom gas sensing materials. General synthesis routes, characterization methods, and sensing performance indexes are introduced. At the end, the challenges and future prospects on SACs gas sensing are presented from the authors' perspectives. This work is anticipated to provide insights and guideline for the chemical sensing community.
