Abstract
Photocatalysis, which uses sunlight, N2 and H2O to produce NH3, is a more sustainable approach to N2 fixation than the Haber-Bosch process. However, its efficiency is severely limited by the difficulty of activating NN bonds. This work presents metal (M = Cu, Fe, V)-substituted MIL-125(Ti) (MIL-(MTi)) for photocatalytic N2 fixation without using any sacrificial agents. Structural characterizations reveal that the active sites including oxygen vacancies (OV) and Ti3+ species are formed by the resulting crystal distortion due to the partial substitution of Ti4+ by other metal ions (Cu+, Fe2+, V3+) in MIL-125(Ti). MIL-(CuTi) possesses a larger number of OV and Ti3+ compared to MIL-(FeTi) and MIL-(VTi) due to the larger valence difference between Cu+ and Ti4+. These active sites not only promote the adsorption and activation of N2 and H2O, but also facilitate the photogenerated charge mobility. Photogenerated holes oxidize H2O to produce O2 and H+. Photogenerated electrons reduce N2 activated on Ti3+ sites by combining with H+ to form NH4+. Therefore, MIL-(CuTi) shows the highest NH4+ production rate 46.5 µmol·h-1·g-1, which is much higher than that (1.2 µmol·h-1·g-1) of the pristine MIL-125(Ti). This work provides a new insight into rational design for artificial N2 fixation systems by the construction of the active site.

Abstract
Cooperative coupling of H2 evolution with oxidative organic synthesis is promising in avoiding the use of sacrificial agents and producing hydrogen energy with value-added chemicals simultaneously. Nonetheless, the photocatalytic activity is obstructed by sluggish electron-hole separation and limited redox potentials. Herein, Ni-doped Zn0.2 Cd0.8 S quantum dots are chosen after screening by DFT simulation to couple with TiO2 microspheres, forming a step-scheme heterojunction. The Ni-doped configuration tunes the highly active S site for augmented H2 evolution, and the interfacial Ni-O bonds provide fast channels at the atomic level to lower the energy barrier for charge transfer. Also, DFT calculations reveal an enhanced built-in electric field in the heterojunction for superior charge migration and separation. Kinetic analysis by femtosecond transient absorption spectra demonstrates that expedited charge migration with electrons first transfer to Ni2+ and then to S sites. Therefore, the designed catalyst delivers drastically elevated H2 yield (4.55 mmol g-1 h-1 ) and N-benzylidenebenzylamine production rate (3.35 mmol g-1 h-1 ). This work provides atomic-scale insights into the coordinated modulation of active sites and built-in electric fields in step-scheme heterojunction for ameliorative photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
In this study, hollow CeO2 nanospheres were grown on UIO-66-NH2 nanosheets to form a novel CeO2/UiO-66-NH2 (abbreviation, CUx) Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst by calcination and hydrothermal method for hydrogen production and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Under visible light, the H2 generation rate of the CU0.50 composite was 5662.1 μmol g-1 h-1, which was 22 and 7 fold than that of pure CeO2 and pure UiO-66-NH2, respectively. In addition, compared with CeO2 and UiO-66-NH2, the as-prepared CUx composites exhibited enhanced photo-degradation efficiencies for tetracycline (TC) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) under simulated solar light irradiation. Among them, the CU0.50 composite demonstrated the highest photocatalytic performance and reached 91.5% for TC, and 94.3% for DCP. In addition, a logical solid-state Z-type electron transfer mechanism is presented with the results of radical scavenging and ESR experiments to illustrate the intensive decomposed ability of the photocatalytic system. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of CUx heterostructures can be attributed to the formation of a band-position-matched hollow structure heterojunction between CeO2 and UIO-66-NH2, which can effectively inhibit the recombination of carriers and increase the specific surface area as well as the light absorption. Moreover, the oxidation and reduction ability of the charge carriers was also increased. This work resulted in a feasible idea for removing organic pollutants and hydrogen production by traditional inorganic semiconductor/MOF-based heterostructured photocatalysts.

Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of Hyper-Cross-Linked Polymers Toward Amines Oxidation Coupled with H 2 O 2 Generation through Extending Monomer's Conjugation Degree. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202203607.

Abstract
Visible-light-driven amines oxidation coupled with hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) generation is a promising way to convert solar energy to chemical energy. Herein, a series of hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCPs) photocatalysts with different arenes monomers, including benzene (BE), diphenyl (DP), p-terphenyl (TP), or p-quaterphenyl (QP), were synthesized by simple Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. Owing to the maximum monomer's conjunction degree and excellent oxygen (O2 ) adsorption capacity, QP-HCPs exhibited highest photocatalytic activity for benzylamine oxidation coupled with H2 O2 generation under the irradiation of 455 nm Blue LED lamp. More than 99 % of benzylamine could be converted to N-benzylidenebenzylamine within 60 min. In addition, nearly stoichiometric H2 O2 was synchronously obtained with a high production rate of 9.3 mmol gcat -1 h-1 . Our work not only demonstrated that the photocatalytic activity of HCPs photocatalysts significantly depends on monomer's conjunction degree, but also provided a new strategy for converting solar energy to chemical energy.

Abstract
Defect engineering is recognized as an effective route to obtaining highly active photocatalytic materials. However, the current understanding of the role of defects in photocatalysts mainly comes from their independent functional analysis, ignoring the synergy between defects and the chemical environment, especially with crystal facets. Herein, oxygen vacancy (VO)-rich TiO2 nanostructures with different dominant exposed facets were prepared, and the microstructural changes induced by the synergy between the VO and facet effect and the performance difference of photocatalytic O2 activation were explored. The results showed that the combination of high concentration VO and the {101} facet is more conducive to improving the photocatalytic performance of TiO2, which is significantly superior to the combination of low concentration VO and the {101} facet as well as the combination of high concentration VO and the {001} facet. The experimental and theoretical results clarified the dependence of each stage of photocatalysis on two factors. Specifically, VO plays a more significant role in energy band regulation, improving the dynamic behavior of photogenerated charges and enhancing the adsorption and activation of O2, while the facet effect made more contributions to reducing the thermodynamic energy barrier of ROS formation and conversion. The excellent ability of O2 activation enables T101-VO to show potential application characteristics in the removal of RhB and bacterial disinfection. This work established a link between defect and facet effects, providing new insights into understanding defect function in photocatalysts.

Abstract
Exploring multifaceted and highly sensitive biosensors is a major challenge in biotechnology and medical diagnosis. Here, we create a new iridium (Ir) cluster-anchored metal-organic framework (MOF, namely, IrNCs@Ti-MOF via a coordination-assisted strategy) as a peroxidase (POD)-mimetic nanoreactor for colorimetrically diagnosing hydrogen peroxide-related biomarkers. Owing to the IrNCs-N/O coordination of Ti-MOF and unique enzymatic properties of Ir clusters, the IrNCs@Ti-MOF exhibits exceptional and exclusive POD-mimetic activities (Km = 3.94 mM, Vmax = 1.70 μM s-1, and turnover number = 39.64 × 10-3 s-1 for H2O2), thus demonstrating excellent POD-mimetic detecting activity and also super substrate selectivity, which is considerably more efficient than recently reported POD mimetics. Colorimetric studies disclose that this IrNCs@Ti-MOF-based nanoreactor shows multifaceted and efficient diagnosing activities and substrate selectivity, such as a limit of detection (LOD): 14.12 μM for H2O2 at a range of 0-900 μM, LOD: 3.41 μM for l-cysteine at a range of 0-50 μM, and LOD: 20.0 μM for glucose at a range of 0-600 μM, which enables an ultrasensitive and visual determination of abundant H2O2-related biomarkers. The proposed design will not only provide highly sensitive and cheap colorimetric biosensors in medical resource-limited areas but also offer a new path to engineering customizable enzyme-mimetic nanoreactors as a powerful tool for accurate and rapid diagnosis.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been intensively studied as a class of semiconductor-like materials in photocatalysis. However, band bending, which plays a crucial role in semiconductor photocatalysis, has not yet been demonstrated in MOF photocatalysts. Herein, a representative MOF, MIL-125-NH2 , is integrated with the metal oxides (MoO3 and V2 O5 ) that feature appropriate work functions and energy levels to afford the corresponding MOF composites. Surface photovoltage results demonstrate band bending in the MOF composites, which gives rise to the built-in electric field of MIL-125-NH2 , boosting the charge separation. As a result, the MOF composites present 56 and 42 times higher activities, respectively, compared to the pristine MOF for photocatalytic H2 production. Upon depositing Pt onto the MOF, ∼6 times higher activity is achieved. This work illustrates band bending of MOFs for the first time, supporting their semiconductor-like nature, which would greatly promote MOF photocatalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into a high-value-added C2 product is a highly challenging task because of insufficient electron deliverability and sluggish C-C coupling kinetics. Engineering catalytic interfaces in photocatalysts provides a promising approach to manipulate photoinduced charge carriers and create multiple catalytic sites for boosting the generation of C2 product from CO2 reduction. Herein, a Cuδ+/CeO2-TiO2 photocatalyst that contains atomically dispersed Cuδ+ sites anchored on the CeO2-TiO2 heterostructures consisting of highly dispersed CeO2 nanoparticles on porous TiO2 is designedly constructed by the pyrolytic transformation of a Cu2+-Ce3+/MIL-125-NH2 precursor. In the designed photocatalyst, TiO2 acts as a light-harvesting material for generating electron-hole pairs that are efficiently separated by CeO2-TiO2 interfaces, and the Cu-Ce dual active sites synergistically facilitate the generation and dimerization of *CO intermediates, thus lowering the energy barrier of C-C coupling. As a consequence, the Cuδ+/CeO2-TiO2 photocatalyst exhibits a production rate of 4.51 μmol-1·gcat-1·h-1 and 73.9% selectivity in terms of electron utilization for CO2 to C2H4 conversion under simulated sunlight, with H2O as hydrogen source and hole scavenger. The photocatalytic mechanism is revealed by operando spectroscopic methods as well as theoretical calculations. This study displays the rational construction of heterogeneous photocatalysts for boosting CO2 conversion and emphasizes the synergistic effect of multiple active sites in enhancing the selectivity of C2 product.

Abstract
Thermo-enhanced photocatalysis combines the advantages of thermocatalysis and photocatalysis and provides a very promising approach for the selective oxidation of organic compounds to value-added chemicals. In this work, the amino group in MIL-125-NH2 first reacts with formaldehyde to form the reducing group (-NH-CH2OH), which can in situ auto reduce the introduced Ag+ ions to Ag clusters/nanoparticles in the cavities. Then the formed MIL-125-NH-CH2OH@Ag was further coated with a covalent organic framework (COF) through imine bonds to form a series of MIL-125-NH-CH2OH@Ag@COF hybrids. Oxidative coupling of amines was selected to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of these materials under visible light at set temperatures (20-60 °C). With an optimized composition, MIL-125-NH-CH2OH@Ag-0.5@COF-2 not only improves the optical properties, but also exhibits the highest conversion (almost 100%) of benzylamine under visible light at 60 °C and good stability for at least three cycles. Free radical capture experiments and electron spin resonance detection demonstrated that holes (h+), hydroxyl (˙OH) and superoxide radicals (O2˙-) were the active species. The results prove that the MIL-125-NH-CH2OH@Ag@COF hybrid possessed higher photocatalytic performance than individual MIL-125-NH2, Ag and COF on account of the efficient separation and transfer of photoinduced electrons and holes. Moreover, the promotion of the reaction temperature on the photocatalytic oxidation of amines has been reported, revealing that the conversion of benzylamine over MIL-125-NH-CH2OH@Ag-0.5@COF-2 at 60 °C is nearly twice as high as that at 20 °C under visible light irradiation. Therefore, the thermo-enhanced photocatalytic oxidation performance of the MOF@Ag@COF hybrid demonstrates the great potential of thermal energy for further improving the photocatalytic selective oxidation performance.

Abstract
Developing efficient photocatalysts for synchronously producing H2 and high value-added chemicals holds great promise to enhance solar energy conversion. Herein, a facile strategy of simultaneously engineering Pd cocatalyst and oxygen vacancies (VO s) on TiO2 to promote H2 production coupled with selective oxidation of benzylamine is demonstrated. The optimized PdSA+C /TiO2 -VO photocatalyst containing Pd single atoms (SAs), clusters (C), and VO s exhibits much superior performance to those of TiO2 -VO and PdSA /TiO2 -VO counterparts. The production rates of H2 and N-benzylidenebenzylamine over PdSA+C /TiO2 -VO are 52.7 and 1.5 times those over TiO2 -VO , respectively. Both experimental and theoretical studies have elucidated the synergistic effect of Pd SAs, clusters, and VO s on TiO2 in boosting the photocatalytic reaction. The presence of Pd SAs facilitates the generation and stabilization of abundant VO s by the formation of PdOTi3+ atomic interface, while Pd clusters promote the photogenerated charge separation and afford the optimum active sites for H2 evolution. Surface VO s of TiO2 guarantee the efficient adsorption and dissociation/activation of reactant molecules. This study reveals the effect of active-site engineering on the photocatalysis and is expected to shed substantial light on future structure design and modulation of semiconductor photocatalysts.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reactions represent a kind of green and sustainable chemical processes for organic transformations, but the efficiency is limited by the severe recombination and/or inadequate redox potentials of photoinduced charge carriers in photocatalysts. To address these issues, herein, the CdS-EDTA/g-C3N4 heterostructures were designed according to Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism and synthesized by the hydrothermal growth of CdS on g-C3N4 nanoflakes with assistance of EDTA chelating agent. EDTA played multiple roles in the formation of CdS-EDTA/g-C3N4 heterostructure photocatalysts, such as controlling the morphology of CdS nanostructures, linking CdS and g-C3N4 together, and boosting the charge transfer between two semiconductors. The optimized CdS-EDTA/g-C3N4(10%) photocatalyst exhibited much higher activities toward the selective reduction of nitrophenol and the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol, than those of CdS/g-C3N4 heterostructures without EDTA. The enhanced photocatalysis of CdS-EDTA/g-C3N4 can be ascribed to the efficient separation and suitable photoredox potentials of photoexcited charge carriers in the EDTA-bridged Z-scheme system. This work provides the inspiration for exploring inexpensive organic electron mediators for constructing all-solid-state Z-scheme photocatalysts and demonstrates the enhanced performance of Z-scheme photocatalysts for photoredox reactions of organic transformations.

Abstract
Benzylamine coupling is a very important reaction for the synthesis of imine but still faces many challenges. Herein, we present a highly effective strategy towards the coupling reaction by using environmentally friendly catalysts. These catalysts are composed of Cu/Cu2O/Cu3N heterostructures supported by C3N4 tubes and the composites were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal treatment followed by calcination. Cu2O, Cu3N, and C3N4 all are responsive to visible light and the heterojunction formed can greatly enhance the charge separation. When used as photocatalysts for oxidative self-coupling of benzylamine at a low temperature of 323 K in air, Cu/Cu2O/Cu3N/C3N4 was able to give conversion and selectivity values of up to 99% and 98%, respectively. The high efficiency of the catalysts is attributable to their ability to generate large quantities of free radicals (such as ·OH and ·O2 -) under visible-light irradiation.

Abstract
Among the different alternatives for catalysis using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) or covalent organic frameworks (COFs), photocatalysis has remarkably evolved during the last decade. Photocatalytic reticular materials allowed recyclability and easy separation of catalyst from the product, also reaching the activity and selectivity commonly observed for molecular systems. Recently, photocatalytic MOFs and COFs have been applied to synthetic applications in order to obtain organic molecules of different complexity. However, although a good number of works have been devoted to this issue, an updated comprehensive revision on this field is still needed. The aim of this review was to fill this gap covering the following three general aspects: (1) common strategies on the design of reticular photocatalytic materials, (2) a comprehensive discussion of the photocatalytic organic reactions achieved by the use of COFs and MOFs, and (3) some critical considerations highlighting directions that should be considered in order to make advances in the study of photocatalytic COFs and MOFs.
