Abstract
Photothermal Fischer-Tropsch synthesis represents a promising strategy for converting carbon monoxide into value-added chemicals. High pressures (2-5 MPa) are typically required for efficient C-C coupling reactions and the production of C5+ liquid fuels. Herein, we report a ruthenium-cobalt single atom alloy (Ru1Co-SAA) catalyst derived from a layered-double-hydroxide nanosheet precursor. Under UV-Vis irradiation (1.80 W cm-2), Ru1Co-SAA heats to 200 °C and photo-hydrogenates CO to C5+ liquid fuels at ambient pressures (0.1-0.5 MPa). Single atom Ru sites dramatically enhance the dissociative adsorption of CO, whilst promoting C-C coupling reactions and suppressing over-hydrogenation of CHx* intermediates, resulting in a CO photo-hydrogenation turnover frequency of 0.114 s-1 with 75.8% C5+ selectivity. Owing to the local Ru-Co coordination, highly unsaturated intermediates are generated during C-C coupling reactions, thereby improving the probability of carbon chain growth into C5+ liquid fuels. The findings open new vistas towards C5+ liquid fuels under sunlight at mild pressures.

Abstract
With the development of society, energy shortage and environmental problems have become more and more outstanding. Solar energy is a clean and sustainable energy resource, potentially driving energy conversion and environmental remediation reactions. Thus, solar-driven chemistry is an attractive way to solve the two problems. Photothermal chemistry (PTC) is developed to achieve full-spectral utilization of the solar radiation and drive chemical reactions more efficiently under relatively mild conditions. In this review, the mechanisms of PTC are summarized from the aspects of thermal and non-thermal effects, and then the interaction and synergy between these two effects are sorted out. In this paper, distinguishing and quantifying these two effects is discussed to understand PTC processes better and to design PTC catalysts more methodically. However, PTC is still a little far away from practical. Herein, several key points, which must be considered when pushing ahead with the engineering application of PTC, are proposed, along with some workable suggestions on the practical application. This review provides a unique perspective on PTC, focusing on the synergistic effects and pointing out a possible direction for practical application.

Abstract
Hydrogenation reactions are an important process in today's chemical industry. Typically, hydrogenation reactions involve the removal of an unsaturated bond in olefins or other polyenes via thermal catalysis using hydrogen. As hydrogenation reactions are often carried out at temperatures up to several hundred degrees, they require significant energy input which typically comes from burning fossil fuels. In order to conserve fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions, researchers are now developing photothermal catalysts for hydrogenation reactions, which harness concentrated sunlight to achieve the required reaction temperatures or introduce sunlight into thermal-driven reaction systems to reduce the reaction temperatures. Photothermal catalysts thus need to be able to efficiently absorb sunlight, whilst also being able to drive the desired hydrogenation reaction with high activity and selectivity. In this review, we summarize recent research aimed at the development of photothermal catalysts for CO2/CO hydrogenation and alkene/alkyne/aromatic hydrogenation. Particular emphasis is placed on uncovering the reaction mechanisms at the molecular level, which in turn guides the rational design of photothermal catalysts with better performance.

Abstract
Catalysis is an integral part of a majority of chemical operations focused on the generation of value-added chemicals or fuels. Similarly, the extensive use of fossil-derived fuels and chemicals has led to deterioration of the environment. Catalysis currently plays a key role in mitigating such effects. Thermal catalysis and photocatalysis are two well-known catalytic approaches that were applied in both energy and environmental fields. Thermo-photocatalysis can be understood as a synergistic effect of the two catalytic processes with key importance in the use of solar energy as thermal and light source. This Review provides an update on relevant contributions about thermo-photocatalytic systems for environmental and energy applications. The reported activity data are compared with the conventional photocatalytic approach and the base of the photothermal effect is analyzed. Some of the systems based on the positive aspects of thermo- and photocatalysis could be the answer to the energy and environmental crisis when taking into account the outstanding results with regard to chemical efficiency and energy saving.
