Abstract
Water pollution has caused problems in coastal areas, rivers, lakes, and other important water sources around the world as a result of inappropriate waste management. Meanwhile, these pollutants are harmful to humans and aquatic life. Textile dye effluent methyl orange (MO) was used in this work for dye degradation studies employing nanocomposites. As a result, the importance of synthesizing pure ZnO and Co3O4 nanoparticles with composites of ZnCo2O4 (zinc cobaltite) nanorods in three various proportions (90:10, 75:25, and 50:50) is emphasized in this study. Many advanced approaches were used to assess the various features of these materials, including size and shape. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to determine the vibrational modes of the materials. The absorption measurements were then carried out using UV-vis spectroscopic techniques, and the photocatalytic breakdown of MO was done under visible light irradiation. The findings revealed that pure materials were inadequate for visible light activity, resulting in decreased degradation efficiencies. Spinel cobaltite structures have potential degradation efficiency under visible light, while ZnCo2O4 (50:50) catalyst has superior degradation efficiency of 59.8% over MO. The crystallite size, morphology, functional group, absorption wavelength, and band gap all play important roles in enhancing the material's photocatalytic activity under visible light. Meanwhile, ZnCo2O4 spinel structures are crucial for increasing charge carriers and reducing electron-hole recombination. As a result, zinc cobaltite minerals are widely used in industrial dye degradation applications.

Abstract
The development of unique single-atom catalysts with electron-rich feature is essential to promoting the photocatalytic CO2 reduction, yet remains a big challenge. Here, a conceptionally new single-atom catalyst constructed from atomically dispersed Ni-P3 species on black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets (BP-Ni) is synthesized for realizing highly efficient visible-light-driven CO2 reduction when trapping photogenerated electrons from homogeneous light absorbers in the presence of triethanolamine as the sacrificial agent. Both the experimental and theoretical calculation data reveal that the Ni-P3 species on BP nanosheets own the electron-rich feature that can improve the photogenerated charge separation efficiency and lower the activation barrier of CO2 conversion. This unique feature makes BP-Ni exhibit the much higher activity as cocatalyst in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction than BP nanosheets. The BP-Ni can also be applied as a cocatalyst for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction after combining with CdSe/S colloidal crystal photocatalyst. The present study offers valuable inspirations for the design and construction of effective catalytic sites toward photocatalytic CO2 reduction reactions.

Abstract
Constructing high-efficiency composite photocatalysts with enhanced charge transfer and a rapid surface catalytic reaction has recently received significant attention. Herein, a hydrochar-mediated NiFe2O4 nanosheet (C/NFO) composite was rationally constructed by a simple hydrothermal method. Intimate interface contacts and chemical interactions between hydrochar and NFO were formed. The prepared C/NFO samples exhibited remarkable visible-light-driven catalytic CO2 reduction properties under mild reaction conditions with Ru(bpy)32+ sensitization. As the optimized sample, 16%-C/NFO achieved a 4-fold enhancement of CO production (17.49 μmol/h) compared with that of pure NFO. The C/NFO samples demonstrated good activity and structural stability in the CO2 photoreduction system. The carbon source of CO derived from CO2 was verified through isotopic labeling experiments using 13CO2. In situ photoluminescence and electrochemical characterizations confirmed the role of electron transfer intermediates of C/NFO. The synergistic effect of the nanosheet-like structure of NFO, combined with the surface functional groups of hydrochar, facilitated an exceptionally high rate of charge transfer and exposed abundant active adsorption sites for CO2, thereby promoting the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers and enhancing photocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction. This study presents a promising strategy for the rational design of hydrochar coupled with transition metal compound catalysts for efficient CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
In this paper, the reported MOF ([Co(bimip)(H2O)0.5]·0.5H2O) was employed in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, antibacterial, and dye adsorption experiments. The photocatalytic activity of the MOF for CO2 reduction was systematically investigated. The high average CO generation rate of 3421.59 μmol·g-1·h-1 after 12 h confirms the efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction ability of the MOF. At the same time, the MOF can completely inhibit the growth of S. aureus and C. albicans within 24 h when its concentration reaches 400 μg/mL and 500 μg/mL, respectively. The MOF has an adsorption capacity for CR. The adsorption rate was 83.42% at 60 min, and the adsorption capacity of the MOF for CR reached 500.00 mg·g-1.

Abstract
Molecule-based heterogeneous photocatalysts without noble metals are one of the most attractive systems for visible-light-driven CO2 reduction. However, reports on this class of photocatalysts are still limited, and their activities are quite low compared to those containing noble metals. Herein, we report an iron-complex-based heterogeneous photocatalyst for CO2 reduction with high activity. The key to our success is the use of a supramolecular framework composed of iron porphyrin complexes bearing pyrene moieties at meso positions. The catalyst exhibited high activity for CO2 reduction under visible-light irradiation (29100 μmol g-1 h-1 for CO production, selectivity 99.9%), which is the highest among relevant systems. The performance of this catalyst is also excellent in terms of apparent quantum yield for CO production (0.298% at 400 nm) and stability (up to 96 h). This study provides a facile strategy to create a highly active, selective, and stable photocatalyst for CO2 reduction without utilizing noble metals.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction by solar energy into carbonaceous feedstock chemicals is recognized as one of the effective ways to mitigate both the energy crisis and greenhouse effect, which fundamentally relies on the development of advanced photocatalysts. Here, the exploration of porous microrod photocatalysts based on novel NiCoO solid solutions derived from bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported. They exhibit overall enhanced photocatalytic performance with both high activity and remarkable selectivity for reducing CO2 into CO under visible-light irradiation, which are superior to most related photocatalysts reported. Accordingly, the Ni0.2 -Co0.8 -O microrod (MR-N0.2 C0.8 O) photocatalyst delivers high efficiency for photocatalytic CO2 reduction into CO at a rate up to ≈277 µmol g-1 h-1 , which is ≈35 times to that of its NiO counterpart. Furthermore, they display a high selectivity of ≈85.12%, which is not only better than that of synthesized Co3 O4 (61.25%) but also superior to that of reported Co3 O4 -based photocatalysts. It is confirmed that the Co and Ni species are responsible for CO2 CO conversion activity and selectivity, respectively. In addition, it is verified, by adjusting the Ni contents, that the band structure of NiCoO microrods can be tailored with favorable reduction band potentials, which thus enhance the selectivity toward CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
The synthesis of Co-doped Mn3 O4 nanocubes was achieved via galvanic replacement reactions for photo-reduction of CO2 . Co@Mn3 O4 nanocubes could efficiently photo-reduce CO2 to CO with a remarkable turnover number of 581.8 using [Ru(bpy)3 ]Cl2 ⋅ 6H2 O as photosensitizer and triethanolamine as sacrificial agent in acetonitrile and water. The galvanic replaced Co species are homogeneously distributed at the outer surface of Mn3 O4 , providing catalytic active sites during CO2 reduction reactions, which facilitate the separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers, further benefiting the outstanding photocatalytic performance of CO2 reduction. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the decreasing of conduction band maximum in Co@Mn3 O4 was beneficial to the electron attachment from the excited sensitized molecule, which promoted photocatalytic reduction of CO2 .

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into transportable fuels such as formic acid (HCOOH) under sunlight is an attractive solution to the shortage of energy and carbon resources as well as to the increase in Earth's atmospheric CO2 concentration. The use of abundant elements as the components of a photocatalytic CO2 reduction system is important, and a solid catalyst that is active, recyclable, nontoxic, and inexpensive is strongly demanded. Here, we show that a widespread soil mineral, alpha‐iron(III) oxyhydroxide (α‐FeOOH; goethite), loaded onto an Al2O3 support, functions as a recyclable catalyst for a photocatalytic CO2 reduction system under visible light (λ>400 nm) in the presence of a RuII photosensitizer and an electron donor. This system gave HCOOH as the main product with 80–90 % selectivity and an apparent quantum yield of 4.3 % at 460 nm, as confirmed by isotope tracer experiments with 13CO2. The present work shows that the use of a proper support material is another method of catalyst activation toward the selective reduction of CO2.

Abstract
Photochemical CO2 conversion into carbon fuel is a promising route to explore renewable energy and relieve climate change. However, it is still a key challenge to achieve high selectivity to CO and simultaneously achieve high conversion efficiency in photochemical CO2 reduction. Herein, we demonstrate the effect of Ni metal centers as catalytic active sites for the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CO by designing and constructing Ni metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) materials. In pure CO2, Ni-MOF catalyst exhibits outstanding performance for visible-light-driven reductive CO2 deoxygenation with a high CO evolution rate of 19.13 μmol h-1 (per 1 mg of catalyst) and CO selectivity of 91.4%, which exceeds those of most reported systems. Upon using isostructural Co-MOF as the catalyst to replace Ni-MOF, a moderate performance towards CO2 photoreduction and low CO selectivity (40.1%) were observed, implying that the performance of CO2 photoreduction and CO selectivity are dependent on unsaturated metal centers.

Abstract
The large-scale burning of non-renewable fossil fuels leads to the gradual increase of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, which is associated with negative impacts on the environment. The consequent need to reduce the emission of CO2 resulting from fossil fuel combustion has led to a serious energy crisis. Research reports indicate that the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is one of the most effective methods to control CO2 pollution. Therefore, the development of novel high-efficiency semiconductor materials has become an important research field. Semiconductor materials need to have a structure with abundant catalytic sites, among other conditions, which is of great significance for the practical application of highly active catalysts for CO2 reduction. This review systematically describes various types of semiconductor materials, as well as adjustments to the physical, chemical and electronic characteristics of semiconductor catalysts to improve the performance of photocatalytic reduction of CO2. The principle of photocatalytic CO2 reduction is also provided in this review. The reaction types and conditions of photocatalytic CO2 reduction are further discussed. We believe that this review will provide a good basis and reference point for future design and development in this field.

Abstract
Exploring affordable cocatalysts with high performance for boosting charge separation and CO2 activation is an effective strategy to reinforce CO2 photoreduction efficiency. Herein, well-defined Co9S8 cages are exploited as a nonprecious promoter for visible-light CO2 reduction. The Co9S8 cages are prepared via a multistep strategy with ZIF-67 particles as the precursor and fully characterized by physicochemical techniques. The hollow Co9S8 cocatalyst with a high surface area and profuse catalytically active centers is discovered to accelerate separation and transfer of light-induced charges, and strengthen concentration and activation of CO2 molecules. In a hybrid photosensitized system, these Co9S8 cages efficiently promote the deoxygenative reduction of CO2 to generate CO, with a high yield rate of 35 μmol h-1 (i.e., 35 mmol h-1 g-1). Besides, this cocatalyst is also of high stability for the CO2 photoreduction reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the Ru(bpy)32+ photosensitizer is strongly absorbed on the Co9S8 (311) surface through forming four Co-C bonds, which can serve as the "bridges" to ensure quick electron transfer from the excited photosensitiser to the active Co9S8 cocatalyst, thus promoting the separation of photoexcited charges for ehannced CO2 reduction performance.

Abstract
We argue that tuning the structure of a semiconductor offers abundant scope for use in a number of applications. In this work, by means of comprehensive density functional theory computations, we demonstrated that layered MgIn 2 Se 4 could be a promising candidate for future electronic and optoelectronic technologies. To do this task, we have applied a uniaxial strain in the z-direction. The results show that MgIn 2 Se 4 can support only a - 2.5 % of deformation without losing its dynamical stability. However, we showed that the effect of strain strongly affects the bonding pattern, which tends to increase the bandgap value. Both the charge density and noncovalent interactions were analyzed to understand this behavior. In addition, we saw that the application of non-hydrostatic pressure also enhanced the photocatalytic/optoelectronic performance of the investigated material, offering useful insights into layered MgIn 2 Se 4 for future development in this area.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is one of the most promising next-generation rechargeable batteries. Lots of fundamental research has been done for the problems during cycling like capacity fading and columbic efficiency reducing owing to severe diffusion and migration of polysulfide intermediates. In the early stage, a wide variety of carbon materials are used as host materials for sulfur to enhance electrical conductivity and adsorb soluble polysulfides. Beyond carbon materials, metal based polar compounds are introduced as host materials for sulfur because of their strong catalytic activity and adsorption ability to suppress the shuttle effect. In addition, relatively high density of metal compounds is helpful for increasing volumetric energy density of Li-S batteries. This review focuses on crystalline multi-metal compounds as host materials in sulfur cathodes. The multi-metal compounds involve not only transition metal composite oxides with specific crystalline structures, binary metal chalcogenides, double or complex salts, but also the metal compounds doped or partially substituted by other metal ions. Generally, for the multi-metal compounds, microstructure and morphologies in micro-nano scale are very significant for mass transfer in electrodes; moreover, adsorption and catalytic ability for polysulfides make fast kinetics in the electrode processes.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials composed of metal centers and organic connectors. They are formed by complexation reactions and exhibit characteristics of both polymers and coordination compounds. They exhibit numerous advantageous features, including a large specific surface area, adjustable pore size/shape, and modifiable pore wall functional groups. Consequently, MOFs have been extensively applied in the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2). Despite considerable research on cobalt-based MOFs, the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 in the presence of these materials remains challenging. The present review summarizes the current studies concerning the utilization of cobalt-based MOFs in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. Additionally, approaches used to enhance the catalytic reduction performance are evaluated and the challenges associated with Co-based MOFs are discussed.

Abstract
The mechanochemical synthesis of nanomaterials for catalytic applications is a growing research field due to its simplicity, scalability, and eco-friendliness. Besides, it provides materials with distinct features, such as nanocrystallinity, high defect concentration, and close interaction of the components in a system, which are, in most cases, unattainable by conventional routes. Consequently, this research field has recently become highly popular, particularly for the preparation of catalytic materials for various applications, ranging from chemical production over energy conversion catalysis to environmental protection. In this Review, recent studies on mechanochemistry for the synthesis of catalytic materials are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the straightforwardness of the mechanochemical route-in contrast to more conventional synthesis-in fabricating the materials, which otherwise often require harsh conditions. Distinct material properties achieved by mechanochemistry are related to their improved catalytic performance.

Abstract
The rational design of transition-metal sulfide with two-dimensional (2D) structure and tunable edges on the nanoscale can effectively improve their activity for variously catalytic reactions. Herein, the 2D PbS nanosheets with abundant zigzag edges (e-PbS NS), which exhibited an excellent performance for CO2 photoconversion to CO, were constructed. The zigzag edges on the PbS NS are beneficial for exposing more active sites and promoting charge separation, thereby accelerating the kinetics process of CO2 photoreduction. This study provides a strategy to regulate structure with effective edge sites for the CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Efficient photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into energy-rich chemicals is of great significance for both environmental conservation and alleviating the energy crisis. However, convenient synthesis of low-cost, durable and eco-friendly photocatalysts with a novel morphology or structure for highly selective photocatalytic CO2 reduction remains a challenge. Herein, Co3O4 hierarchical nanosheets were synthesized by calcination of novel cobalt metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets prepared by a facile oil bath method. In such Co MOF nanosheets, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid was chosen as the organic linker, rather than the commonly used 2-methylimidazole for ZIF-67. After thermal treatment in air, the obtained Co3O4 inherited the 2D morphology of its MOF template and evolved into hierarchical nanosheets which were composed of small nanoparticles. Benefiting from the large surface area, abundant mesoporous structure and good capability towards the separation and transfer of photo-generated charge carriers induced by less internal oxygen vacancies, the Co3O4 hierarchical nanosheets showed a CO generation rate of 39.70 μmol h-1 in visible-light photocatalytic CO2 reduction, which was superior to that of Co3O4 nanoparticles and commercial Co3O4. What's more, a CO selectivity of 77.3% was achieved, which is among the highest of cobalt-based spinel oxide photocatalysts for CO2 conversion.

Abstract
The atomic order, electronic structure and thermodynamic stability of nickel aluminate, NiAl2O4, have been analyzed using periodic density functional theory and cluster expansion. NiAl2O4 forms a tetragonal structure with P4122 space group. At temperatures below 800 K, it is an inverse spinel, with Ni occupying the octahedral sites and Al occupying both the octahedral and the tetrahedral sites. Some Niocta + Altetra ⇌ Nitetra + Alocta exchange occurs above 800 K, but the structure remains largely inverse at high temperatures, with about 95% Niocta at 1500 K. Various functionals, with and without van der Waals corrections, were used to predict the experimental formation energy, lattice parameters and electronic structure. In all cases, the NiAl2O4 is found to be ferromagnetic and a semiconductor with an indirect band gap along the Γ → M symmetry points. NiAl2O4 is found to be thermodynamically stable at operating conditions of 900-1000 K and 1 atm relative to its competing oxide phases, NiO and Al2O3.

Abstract
The photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) represents a promising route for the clean utilization of stranded renewable resources, but poor selectivity resulting from the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in aqueous solution limits its practical applicability. In the present contribution a photocatalyst with hydrophobic surfaces was fabricated. It facilitates an efficient three-phase contact of CO2 (gas), H2 O (liquid), and catalyst (solid). Thus, concentrated CO2 molecules in the gas phase contact the catalyst surface directly, and can overcome the mass-transfer limitations of CO2 , inhibit the HER because of lowering proton contacts, and overall enhance the CRR. Even when loaded with platinum nanoparticles, one of the most efficient HER promotion cocatalysts, the three-phase photocatalyst maintains a selectivity of 87.9 %. Overall, three-phase photocatalysis provides a general and reliable method to enhance the competitiveness of the CRR.

Abstract
The mainstream strategy for designing hydrogen electrocatalysts is to adjust their surface electronic structure; however, the conductivity of the electrocatalyst and the synergy with its substrate are still challenges to overcome. In this work, we report a carbon-doped Co-FeS2/CoS2 (C/Co-FeS2/CoS2) electrode, prepared via a hydrothermal process with carbon cloth (CC) as the substrate and carbon doping. The C/Co-FeS2/CoS2 electrode shows excellent catalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with an overpotential of 88 mV at a current density of −10 mA∙cm−2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. The Tafel slope is 66 mV∙dec−1. Such superior performance is attributed to the high electrical conductivity of the electrocatalyst and its synergy with the substrate. Our study provides an efficient alternative in the field of electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Boron carbon nitride (BCN) is a promising earth-abundant photocatalyst for solar energy conversion. However, the photocatalytic activities of BCN materials remain moderate because of the fast electron-hole recombination. Herein, an ordered BCN structure is fabricated by a facile one-step thermal treatment strategy. The ordered structure of BCN is directly evident from powder X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Importantly, it is found that the long-period ordered structure can intrinsically accelerate the separation and transfer kinetics of photogenerated charge carriers. Benefiting from these advantages, the ordered BCN structure exhibits remarkable performance for photoinduced selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol compared with the pristine BCN counterpart. This work highlights the important role of the crystal structure of light-harvesting materials in affecting electron-hole separation and at the same time points to the ample potential for improving the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into CH4 represents an appealing approach to alleviate the world's continued reliance on fossil fuels and global warming resulting from increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. However, its practical application is greatly limited by serious electron-hole recombination in the photocatalysts and the production of CO and H2 as side reactions. Herein, for the first time, it is demonstrated that the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CH4 can be significantly improved through the simultaneous alloying and hydriding of metal cocatalysts. The isolation of Cu and H atoms in Pd lattices play three roles in the enhancement of CO2 to CH4 conversion: 1) Cu atoms provide catalytic sites to reduce CO2 into CO and then to CH4 to suppress H2 evolution; 2) H atoms improve the electron-trapping ability of cocatalysts; and 3) H atoms accelerate the reduction of CO to CH4 , which is the rate-limiting procedure in the conversion of CO2 into CH4 . Arising from the synergistic interplay between Pd-H and Cu-CO sites, C3 N4 -Pd9 Cu1 Hx (15 mg) achieves 100 % selectivity for CH4 production with an average rate of 0.018 μmol h-1 under visible-light irradiation. This work provides insights into the design of a cocatalyst for highly selective CO2 conversion through lattice engineering at atomic precision.
