Abstract
Polarizability (α) is a fundamental property which measures the tendency of the electron cloud of an atom, ion, or molecule to be distorted by electric field. Polarizability contributes to important physical properties such as molecular interactions or dielectric constants; thus, it is essential to have accurate polarizabilities in molecular simulations. However, it remains a challenge to develop polarizable force fields (FFs) for ions in computational chemistry. In particular, a comprehensive set of polarizabilities for ions has not been derived. Herein, we derived a systematic set of polarizabilities for atoms and ions across the periodic table based on high-level quantum mechanics calculations. These values have excellent agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, we examined the relationship between the obtained polarizabilities and the van der Waals (VDW) radii (RVDW) that we previously determined (J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2023, 19, 2064). Two relationships, RVDW ∝ α1/7 and RVDW ∝ α1/3, proposed in previous studies were examined in the present work. Our results indicated the former relationship, which was derived based on the quantum harmonic oscillator model, prevails for atoms and cations, but neither relationship provides a satisfactory fit for anions. This is consistent with the tight-binding nature of the electrons in atoms and cations, while it is more challenging to quantify the polarizabilities of anions because of their more dispersed electron clouds. Moreover, we compared different approaches to determine the dispersion coefficients, including the London equation, Slater-Kirkwood equation, symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) calculations, and time-dependent density functional theory method, along with the approach based on VDW constants. Our results indicated that although different approaches predict deviated magnitudes for the dispersion coefficients, their predictions are highly correlated, implying that each of these approaches can be used to evaluate dispersion interactions after proper scaling. Finally, we have developed a parametrization strategy for the 12-6-4 model based on the obtained insights. We specifically compared the performance of the 12-6-4 model with SAPT and SobEDA analyses to model interactions involving Na+/Mg2+ and various ligands containing He, Ne, Ar, H2O, NH3, [H2PO4]-, and [HPO4]2-. Our results demonstrate that the 12-6-4 parameters effectively reproduce both the total interaction energy and the individual energy components (electrostatics, exchange-repulsion, dispersion, and induction), highlighting the physical robustness of the 12-6-4 model and the effectiveness of our parametrization approach. This study has significant implications for advancing the development of next-generation ion models and polarizable FFs.

Abstract
We report the free energy barriers for the elementary reactions in the 2e- and 4e- oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) steps on Au(100) in an alkaline solution. Due to the weak adsorption energy of O2 on Au(100), the barrier for the association channel is very low, and the 2e- pathway is clearly favored, while the barrier for the O-O dissociation channel is significantly higher at 0.5 eV. Above 0.7 V reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), the association channel becomes thermodynamically unfavorable, which opens up the O-O dissociation channel, leading to the 4e- pathway. The low adsorption energy of oxygenated species on Au is now an advantage, and residue ORR current can be observed up to the 1.0-1.2 V region (RHE). In contrast, the O-O dissociation barrier on Au(111) is significantly higher, at close to 0.9 eV, due to coupling with surface reorganization, which explains the lower ORR activity on Au(111) than that on Au(100). In combination with the previously suggested outer sphere electron transfer to O2 for its initial adsorption, these results provide a consistent explanation for the features in the experimentally measured polarization curve for the alkaline ORR on Au(100) and demonstrate an ORR mechanism distinct from that on Pt(111). It also highlights the importance to consider the spin state of O2 in ORR and to understand the activation barriers, in addition to the adsorption energies, to account for the features observed in electrochemical measurements.

Abstract
The Lewis basicity of a μ3-oxo ligand for (μ3-O)[Rh(cod)]3(μ4-O)M (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) complexes was controllable by metal species on the μ4-oxo ligand locating at the opposite site of the μ3-oxo ligand. Coordination of the μ3-oxo ligand of [(μ3-O){Rh(cod)}3(μ4-O){Au(PPh3)}][BF4] (1) to [Au(PPh3)]+ indicated sufficient Lewis basicity of the μ3-oxo ligand in 1 to form [{(Ph3P)Au}(μ3-O){Rh(cod)}3(μ4-O){Au(PPh3)}][BF4] (2). In contrast, the addition of Li+ to 1 induced elimination of the originally coordinated [Au(PPh3)]+ due to the weak Lewis basicity of the μ3-oxo ligand for (μ3-O){Rh(cod)}3(μ4-O)Li(THF)3, in which a pentanuclear species, [{(Ph3P)Au}(μ3-O){Rh(cod)}3(μ4-O){Li(THF)3}][BF4] (3), was assumed to be generated in situ before the dissociation of [Au(PPh3)]+.

Abstract
Adsorption of metal-organic complexes on metallic surfaces to produce well-defined single site catalysts is a novel approach combining the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. To avoid the "surface trans-effect" a dome-shaped molybdenum(0) tricarbonyl complex supported by an tolylazacalix[3](2,6)pyridine ligand is synthesized. This vacuum-evaporable complex both activates CO and reacts with molecular oxygen (O2) to form a Mo(VI) trioxo complex which in turn is capable of catalytically mediating oxygen transfer. The molybdenum tricarbonyl- and trioxo complexes are investigated in the solid state, in homogeneous solution and on noble metal surfaces (Cu, Au) employing a range of spectroscopic and analytical methods.

Abstract
Metal-oxide interfaces on Cu-based catalysts play very important roles in the low-temperature water-gas shift reaction (LT-WGSR). However, developing catalysts with abundant, active, and robust Cu-metal oxide interfaces under LT-WGSR conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report the successful development of an inverse copper-ceria catalyst (Cu@CeO2), which exhibited very high efficiency for the LT-WGSR. At a reaction temperature of 250 °C, the LT-WGSR activity of the Cu@CeO2 catalyst was about three times higher than that of a pristine Cu catalyst without CeO2. Comprehensive quasi-in situ structural characterizations indicated that the Cu@CeO2 catalyst was rich in CeO2/Cu2O/Cu tandem interfaces. Reaction kinetics studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the Cu+/Cu0 interfaces were the active sites for the LT-WGSR, while adjacent CeO2 nanoparticles play a key role in activating H2O and stabilizing the Cu+/Cu0 interfaces. Our study highlights the role of the CeO2/Cu2O/Cu tandem interface in regulating catalyst activity and stability, thus contributing to the development of improved Cu-based catalysts for the LT-WGSR.

Abstract
The electrochemical conversion of waste CO2 into useful fuels and chemical products is a promising approach to reduce CO2 emissions; however, several challenges still remain to be addressed. Thus far, most CO2 reduction studies use pure CO2 as the gas reactant, but CO2 emissions typically contain a number of gas impurities, such as nitrogen oxides, oxygen gas, and sulfur oxides. Gas impurities in CO2 can pose a significant obstacle for efficient CO2 electrolysis because they can influence the reaction and catalyst. This Minireview highlights early examples of CO2 reduction studies using mixed-gas feeds, explores strategies to sustain CO2 reduction in the presence of gas impurities, and discusses their implications for future progress in this emerging field.

Abstract
The orientation and motion of reactants play important roles in reactions. The small rotational excitations involved render the reactants susceptible to dynamical steering, making direct comparison between experiments and theory rather challenging. Using space-quantized molecular beams, we directly probed the (polar and azimuthal) orientation dependence of O2 chemisorption on Cu(110) and Cu3Au(110). We observed polar and azimuthal anisotropies on both surfaces. Chemisorption proceeded rather favorably with the O-O bond axis oriented parallel (vs perpendicular) to the surface and rather favorably with the O-O bond axis oriented along [001] (vs along [1̅10]). The presence of Au hindered the surface from further oxidation, introducing a higher activation barrier to chemisorption and rendering an almost negligible azimuthal anisotropy. The presence of Au also prevented the cartwheel-like rotations of O2.

Abstract
Oxygen dissociation and activation on surfaces play a crucial role in heterogeneous catalysis and oxidation processes. In this study, we have conducted a series of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments combined with density functional theory calculation to investigate the oxidation process in a single crystal Co(0001) surface. For the first time, we show a comprehensive in situ STM study of the oxidation process of Co(0001) from an atomic point of view. With low O2 exposure at 90 K, chemisorbed oxygen pairs are observed showing a dumbbell-like STM feature. At a relatively higher temperature range of 160-250 K, a large-scale p(2 × 2)-O adlayer forms and the O adatoms show surprisingly high mobility. With the temperature of Co(0001) kept at ≥300 K, adsorption of oxygen leads to fast oxidation of the surface to amorphous cotton-like protrusions, which occur initially at the step/edge sites and interstitial defect sites.

Abstract
Selective regulation of chemical reactions is crucial in chemistry. Oxygen, as a key reagent in ubiquitous oxidative chemistry, exhibits great potential in regulating molecular assemblies, and more importantly, chemical reactions in molecular systems supported by metal surfaces. However, the unique catalytic performance and reaction mechanisms of oxygen species remain elusive, which are essential for understanding reaction selection and regulation. In this study, by a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging/manipulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we showed that the on-surface reaction pathways of terminal alkynes could be steered from C-C coupling to C-H activation with high selectivity by introducing O2 into the molecular system. The catalytic performance and reaction mechanisms of oxygen species were explored in the C-H activation processes, and both molecular O2 and atomic O could efficiently steer the reaction pathways. These results would provide a fundamental understanding of interfacial catalytic reaction processes.

Abstract
It is vital to differentiate catalytic properties between cationic and metallic single atoms at the atomic level. To achieve this, we fabricated well-defined cationic Ni atoms snugged in and metallic Ni atoms supported on monolayered CuO. The Ni cations are chemically inert for CO adsorption even at 70 K but highly active toward O2 dissociation at room temperature. The adsorbed O atoms are active to oxidize incoming CO molecules from the gas phase into CO2, which follows the Eley-Rideal mechanism, in contrast to the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism on CuO-monolayer-supported metallic Ni atoms as well as our previously reported Au and Pt model catalysts. This study helps understand the chemistry of a supported single-metal cation, which is of great importance in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Supported Au catalysts efficiently catalyze the oxidative coupling of methanol with O2 to methyl formate, in which the atomic O species (O(a)) formed via O2 dissociation on the Au surface has been considered as the active oxygen species. Herein we report for the first time that the oxidative coupling of methanol can occur facilely with molecularly adsorbed O2 species (O2(a)) on a Au(997) surface at temperatures as low as around 125 K, while that with O(a) occurs at around 175 K. Both experimental and theoretical calculation results demonstrate a novel reaction mechanism of oxidative coupling of CH3OH with O2(a) via a dioxymethylene (H2COO) intermediate, resulting in the production of both HCOOCH3 and HCOOCH3. These results reveal the unique reactivity of molecularly adsorbed O2 species on Au surfaces for low-temperature oxidation reactions.

Abstract
This review presents the recent progress of oxygen functionalization reactions based on non-electrochemical (conventional organic synthesis) and electrochemical methods. Although both methods have their advantages and limitations, the former approach has been used to synthesize a broader range of organic substances as the latter is limited by several factors, such as poor selectivity and high energy cost. However, because electrochemical methods can replace harmful terminal oxidizers with external voltage, organic electrosynthesis has emerged as greener and more eco-friendly compared to conventional organic synthesis. The progress of electrochemical methods toward oxygen functionalization is presented by an in-depth discussion of different types of electrically driven-chemical organic synthesis, with particular attention to recently developed electrochemical systems and catalyst designs. We hope to direct the attention of readers to the latest breakthroughs of traditional oxygen functionalization reactions and to the potential of electrochemistry for the transformation of organic substrates to useful end products.

Abstract
The release of azo dye contaminants from textile industries into the environment is an issue of major concern. Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) has been extensively studied in the degradation of azo dye pollutants such as methyl orange (MO). In this study, iron was coupled with copper and silver to make trimetallic Fe/Cu/Ag nanoparticles, in order to enhance the degradation of MO and increase reactivity of the catalyst by delaying the rate of oxidation of iron. The synthesis of the trimetallic nanoparticles (Fe/Cu/Ag) was carried out using the sodium borohydride reduction method. The characterization of the particles was performed using XRD, XPS, EDX, and TEM. The analyses confirmed the successful synthesis of the nanoparticles; the TEM images also showed the desired structures and geometry of the nanoscale zerovalent iron particles. The assessment of the nanoparticles in the degradation of methyl orange showed a notable degradation within few minutes into the reaction. The effect of parameters such as nanoparticle dosage, initial MO concentration, and the solution pH on the degradation of MO using the nanoparticles was investigated. Methyl orange degradation efficiency reached 100% within 1 min into the reaction at a low pH, with lower initial MO concentration and higher nanoparticle dosage. The degradation rate of MO using the nanoparticles followed pseudo first-order kinetics and was greatly influenced by the studied parameters. Additionally, LC-MS technique confirmed the degradation of MO within 1 min and that the degradation occurs through the splitting of the azo bond. The Fe/Cu/Ag trimetallic nanoparticles have proven to be an appropriate and efficient alternative for the treatment of dye wastewater.

Abstract
Abstract
Here, we report nano-mediated Cu–Co–Ni-based nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs/T-CCN) by hydrothermal and procedural calcination strategy. The nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) show more average diameter and the N-CNTs are uniformly modified with ternary Cu–Co–Ni-based nanoparticles (T-CCN). The hybrid exhibits excellent ORR catalytic activity. The onset potential (Eonset) and half-wave potential (E1/2) are 0.96 V and 0.87 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE) in 0.1 M KOH. Most importantly, compared to 20% Pt/C, N-CNTs/T-CCN catalyst displays better methanol tolerance and higher stability. The H2O2 yield of the N-CNTs/T-CCN is less than 7.5% and the electron-transfer number (n) is about 3.9. High ORR performance may be related to the synergistic enhancement effect. The N-CNTs supply good electrical conductivity and allow large numbers of active sites to efficiently participate; the T-CCN can improve the local work function of the N-CNTs by synergistic electronic interaction and promote O2 adsorption; the stability of embedded T-CCN can be greatly improved, mainly due to the weakness of Ostwald effect. All these advantages make the hybrid a promising ORR catalyst.

Abstract
Industrialization has resulted in the rapid increase of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which have caused serious issues to human health and the environment. In this study, an extensive Cu incorporating TiO2 induced nucleophilic oxygen structure was constructed in the CuTiOx catalyst, which exhibited superior low-temperature catalytic activity for C3H6 combustion. Thorough structural, surface characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the Cu-O-Ti hybridization induced nucleophilic oxygen initiates C3H6 combustion by abstracting the C-H bond. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) results indicated that incorporated copper species acted as the major adsorbent site for the propene molecule. In combination of the DRIFTS and DFT results, the promotion effect of the nucleophilic O on the C-H bond abstraction and CO2 formation pathway was proposed. The surface doping induced nucleophilic oxygen as strong Brønsted basic sites for low-temperature propene combustion exemplified an efficient strategy for rational design of next-generation environmental catalysts.

Abstract
Silver is an excellent catalyst for oxidation reactions such as ethylene epoxidation, but it shows limited activity toward reduction reactions. Here we report a strategy to revitalize Ag nanocrystals as a redox catalyst for the production of an aromatic azo compound by modifying their surface with an isocyanide-based compound. We also leverage in situ fingerprint spectroscopy to acquire molecular insights into the reaction mechanism by probing the vibrational modes of all chemical species at the catalytic surface with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. We establish that binding of isocyanide to Ag nanocrystals makes it possible for Ag to extract the oxygen atoms from the nitro-groups of nitroaromatics and then use these atoms to oxidize isocyanide to isocyanate. Concurrently, the coupling between two adjacent deoxygenated nitroaromatic molecules leads to the formation of an aromatic azo compound.

Abstract
Herein, a simple and feasible electrochemical immunosensing method for simultaneous voltammetric detection of two immunoglobulin proteins, human IgG (HIgG) and rabbit IgG (RIgG), was developed using two distinguishable signal-generation tags on the same electrode. The immunosensor was prepared by immobilizing two Fab antibody fragments on a gold electrode. After this, Cu and Cd nanocrystals, as nanotags, were synthesized and functionalized with identical detection antibodies. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were employed to characterize the Cu and Cd nanocrystals. The covalently modified electrode with the Fab antibody fragments through the Au-thiolate bond (to dispel the non-specific adsorption) was investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After the sandwiched immunoreaction, the antibody-modified nanocrystals were captured on the immunosensor, which could be interrogated in pH 3.5 HCl using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry. Experimental results also indicated that the multiplexed immunoassay enabled the simultaneous detection of HIgG and RIgG in a single run with the similar linear range from 0.01 to 10 ng mL-1, and the limits of detection (LODs) towards two analytes could be as low as 3.4 pg mL-1 (at 3σ). Acceptable assay results on precision, reproducibility, specificity, and method accuracy were also acquired. Importantly, the newly designed strategy avoided cross-talk and enzymatic introduction as compared to conventional electrochemical immunoassays, thus exhibiting a promising potential in clinical applications.

Abstract
Interfacial regulation offers a promising route to rationally and effectively design advanced materials for CO preferential oxidation. Herein, we initiated an interfacial regulation of CeO2-CuO x-RGO composites by adjusting the addition sequence of the components during the support formation. The presence of RGO along with the sequence tuning of the components is confirmed to survey the changes of the oxidation state of copper species, the content and distribution of the Cu+ site, and the synergistic interactions between Cu-Ce mixed oxides and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) over the catalysts. These catalysts were systematically characterized by inductively coupled plasma, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy/high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction, X-ray photoelectron spectra, thermal gravimetric analysis, Raman spectra, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy measurements. The results show that RGO is favorable for the generation of Cu+ and the dispersion of copper-cerium species in the as-prepared catalysts. Furthermore, by multi-interfacial regulation of the CeO2-CuO x-RGO composites, the catalyst CeO2/CuO x-RGO exhibits a strikingly high catalytic oxidation activity at a low temperature coupled with a broader operation temperature window (i.e., CO conversion >99.0%, 140-220 °C) in the CO-selective oxidation reaction, which has been attributed to the high content of the active species Cu+ enriched on the surface, the highly dispersed copper oxide clusters subjected to a strong interaction with ceria, and the synergistic interactions between Cu-Ce mixed oxides and RGO.

Abstract
Herein, a novel and facile high-yield strategy is reported to efficiently fabricate 1D self-supported Au/CaO nanocatalysts using dual metal co-ordination polymers as templates. Significantly, a uniform distribution of dual metal nanoparticles can be ensured due to the fact that both Ca2+ and Au3+ ions are initially introduced into the co-ordination polymer via chemical bonding with bifunctional organic linkers and then, the Au and CaO nanoparticles are formed simultaneously in one pot via calcination. Furthermore, the as-prepared Au/CaO nanoribbons exhibit excellent catalytic performance in the transesterification reaction, which can be attributed to the small size and high distribution of CaO nanoparticles as well as the special 1D structure with high surface area. Moreover, leaching and deactivation, which are the main problems of CaO-based catalysts, are remarkably reduced due to the presence of hydrophobic Au nanoparticles on the surface of the CaO nanoribbons. Consequently, the Au/CaO nanoribbons can be used as recyclable catalysts with high activity for biodiesel production.

Abstract
CeO2 nanocubes (c-CeO2), nanoparticles (p-CeO2), and nanorods calcined at 500 °C (r-CeO2-500) and 700 °C (r-CeO2-700) were used as supports to synthesize a series of Ni/CeO2 catalysts for the propane combustion and oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) reactions. The Ni-CeO2 interaction greatly promotes the reducibility of CeO2, but CeO2 morphology-dependent Ni-CeO2 interaction was observed to form different speciation of Ni species (Ni2+ dissolved in CeO2, highly dispersive NiO, NiO aggregate) and oxygen species (strongly activated oxygen species, medially activated oxygen species, weakly activated oxygen species) in various Ni/CeO2 catalysts. Ni-CeO2 interaction is stronger in Ni/c-CeO2 catalysts than in other Ni/CeO2 catalysts. Different morphology-dependences of Ni/CeO2 catalysts in propane combustion and ODHP reactions were observed. The Ni/r-CeO2-500 catalyst with the largest strongly activated oxygen species is most catalytic active in the propane combustion reaction while the Ni/c-CeO2 catalyst with the largest amount of weakly activated oxygen species exhibits the best catalytic performance in the ODHP reaction. Thus, the CeO2 morphology engineering strategy is effective in finely tuning the metal-CeO2 interaction and the reactivity of oxygen species to meet the requirements of different types of catalytic oxidation reactions.
