Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), a key element in the regulation of essential biological mechanisms, presents huge potential as therapeutic agent in the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with open metal sites are promising carriers for NO therapies but delivering it over an extended period in biological media remains a great challenge due to i) a fast degradation of the material in body fluids and/or ii) a rapid replacement of NO by water molecules onto the Lewis acid sites. Here, a new ultra-narrow pores Fe bisphosphonate MOF, denoted MIP-210(Fe) or Fe(H2O)(Hmbpa) (H4mbpa = p-xylenediphosphonic acid) is described that adsorbs NO due to an unprecedented sorption mechanism: coordination of NO through the Fe(III) sites is unusually preferred, replacing bound water, and creating a stable interaction with the free H2O and P-OH groups delimiting the ultra-narrow pores. This, associated with the high chemical stability of the MOF in body fluids, enables an unprecedented slow replacement of NO by water molecules in biological media, achieving an extraordinarily extended NO delivery time over at least 70 h, exceeding by far the NO kinetics release reported with others porous materials, paving the way for the development of safe and successful gas therapies.

Abstract
Utilizing Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) to partially oxidize NO to NO2 is a crucial step in controlling NOx emissions from diesel engines. However, enhancing both catalytic activity and hydrothermal stability remains a significant challenge. Benefiting from abundant asymmetric oxygen vacancies and increased Mn4+ content, MnRE0.5Zr0.5 exhibits superior NO oxidation performance (T63 = 337 °C) and hydrothermal aging resistance (T52 = 340 °C) compared to the undoped sample (T53 = 365 °C). XPS, Raman, TPR, and XAS are employed to verify the elevation of oxygen vacancy concentration and Mn valence state modulation due to Zr introduction. Furthermore, compared to MnRE (1.36 eV), the formation energy of oxygen vacancies in MnRE0.5Zr0.5 is significantly reduced (0.17 eV). This work elucidates the dual regulatory role of Zr in the Mn-RE-Zr ternary system, providing theoretical support and guidance for the design of catalysts for atmospheric pollutant purification and industrial catalysis.

Abstract
The straightforward synthesis of noble-metal-nanoparticle-decorated ordered mesoporous transition metal oxides remains a great challenge due to the difficulty of balancing the interactions between precursors and templates. Herein, a solvent-pair-enabled multicomponent coassembly (SPEMC) strategy is developed for straightforward synthesis of noble-metal-nanoparticle-decorated nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous tungsten oxide (abbreviated as NM/N-mWO3, NM = Pt, Rh, Pd). The amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polystyrene (PEO-b-PS) copolymers coassemble with ammonium metatungstate (AMT) clusters and different kinds of hydrophilic noble metal precursors without phase separation. SPEMC synthesis requires no direct interaction between PEO-b-PS and AMT, thus the assembly equilibriums between noble metal precursors and PEO-b-PS can be readily controlled. The obtained NM/N-mWO3 nanocomposites possess ordered mesopores, abundant oxygen vacancies, and metal-metal oxide interfaces. As a result, the Pt/N-mWO3 sensors exhibit superior ammonia sensing performances with high sensitivity, an ultralow limit of detection (51.2 ppb), good selectivity, and long-term stability. Spectroscopic analysis reveals that ammonia is oxidized stepwise to NO, NO2 -, and NO3 - during the sensing process. Moreover, a portable wireless module based on Pt/N-mWO3 sensor can recognize ppm-level concentration of ammonia, which lays a solid foundation for its application in various fields.

Abstract
In the pursuit of successful photocatalytic transformations, challenges persist due to limitations in charge carrier utilization and transfer efficiency, which stemming from rapid recombination. Overcoming these limitations necessitates the exploration of novel mechanisms that enhance the effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Herein, deviating from the conventional approach of enhancing carrier migration to separate photogenerated charges and extend their lifetime, the proposal is to directly prevent the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes by forming hole polarons. Specifically, disordered pores are introduced on the surface of KTaO3 ultrathin sheets, and the clear-cut evidences in electron paramagnetic resonance, photoluminescence, and ultrafast spectroscopy unambiguously confirm the enhanced carrier-phonon coupling, which results in the formation of hole polarons to impede the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Taking the challenging nitrogen oxidation reaction as an example, it is found that the hole polarons in atomic-disordered pore KTaO3 ultrathin nanosheets trigger outstanding photo-oxidation performance of nitrogen (N2)to nitrate, with a nitrate-producing rate of 2.1 mg g-1 h-1. This scenario is undoubtedly applicable to a wide variety of photocatalytic reactions due to the common challenge of charge carrier recombination in all photocatalytic processes, manifesting broad implications for promoting photocatalysis performance.

Abstract
Urea electrosynthesis from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrate (NO3 -) is an alternative approach to traditional energy-intensive urea synthesis technology. Herein, we report a CuAu single-atom alloy (SAA) with electronic metal support interaction (EMSI), achieving a high urea yield rate of 813.6 μg h-1 mgcat -1 at -0.94 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE) and a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 45.2 % at -0.74 V vs. RHE. In situ experiments and theoretical calculations demonstrated that single-atom Cu sites modulate the adsorption behavior of intermediate species. Bimetallic sites synergistically accelerate C-N bond formation through spontaneous coupling of *CO and *NO to form *ONCO as key intermediates. More importantly, electronic metal support interaction between CuAu SAA and CeO2 carrier further modulates electron structure and interfacial microenvironment, endowing electrocatalysts with superior activity and durability. This work constructs SAA electrocatalysts with EMSI effect to tailor C-N coupling at the atomic level, which can provide guidance for the development of C-N coupling systems.

Abstract
Human society is facing increasingly serious problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage, and up to now, achieving high NH3-SCR activity at ultra-low temperatures (<150 °C) remains challenging for the V-based catalysts with V content below 2%. In this study, the monoatomic V-based catalyst under the weak current-assisted strategy can completely convert NOx into N2 at ultra-low temperature with V content of 1.36%, which shows the preeminent turnover frequencies (TOF145 °C = 1.97×10-3 s-1). The improvement of catalytic performance is mainly attributed to the enhancement catalysis of weak current (ECWC) rather than electric field, which significantly reduce the energy consumption of the catalytic system by more than 90%. The further mechanism research for the ECWC based on a series of weak current-assisted characterization means and DFT calculations confirms that migrated electrons mainly concentrate around the V single atoms and increase the proportion of antibonding orbitals, which make the V-O chemical bond weaker (electron scissors effect) and thus accelerate oxygen circulation. The novel current-assisted catalysis in the present work can potentially apply to other environmental and energy fields.

Abstract
Nitrogen oxides represent one of the main threats for the environment. Despite decades of intensive research efforts, a sustainable solution for NOx removal under environmental conditions is still undefined. Using theoretical modelling, material design, state-of-the-art investigation methods and mimicking enzymes, it is found that selected porous hybrid iron(II/III) based MOF material are able to decompose NOx, at room temperature, in the presence of water and oxygen, into N2 and O2 and without reducing agents. This paves the way to the development of new highly sustainable heterogeneous catalysts to improve air quality.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2024; 121:e2401452121. [PMID: 39018193 PMCID: PMC11287141 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2401452121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Nitrophenols present on the surface of particulates are ubiquitous in the atmosphere. However, its atmospheric photochemical transformation pathway remains unknown, for which the crucial effect of visible light is largely overlooked, resulting in an incomplete understanding of the effects of nitrophenols in the atmospheric environment. This study delves into the photolysis mechanism of 4-nitrophenol (4NP), one of the most abundant atmospheric nitrophenol compounds, on the surface of photoactive particulates under visible light irradiation. Unexpectedly, the nonradical species (singlet oxygen, 1O2) was identified as a dominant factor in driving the visible photolysis of 4NP. The pathways of HONO and p-benzoquinone (C6H4O2) generation were clarified by acquiring direct evidence of C-N and O-H bond breakage in the nitro (-NO2) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups of 4NP. The further decomposition of HONO results in the generation of NO and hydroxyl radicals, which could directly contribute to atmospheric oxidizing capacity and complicate the PM2.5 composition. Significantly, the behavior of 1O2-induced visible photolysis of 4NP was universal on the surface of common particulates in the atmosphere, such as A1 dust and Fe2O3. This work advances the understanding of the photochemical transformation mechanism of particulate-phase atmospheric nitrophenols, which is indispensable in elucidating the role of nitrophenols in atmospheric chemistry.

Abstract
Nitrate products are widely used in manufacturing as crucial raw materials and fertilizers. The traditional nitrate synthesis process involves high energy consumption and emission, thereby opposing the goals of zero-carbon emission and green chemistry. Thus, a sustainable roadmap for nitrate synthesis that uses green energy input, clean N sources, and direct catalytic processes is urgently required (e.g., developing a novel photosynthesis system). Here, we synthesized TiO2-supported atomically dispersed Cu species for N2 photofixation to nitrate in a flow reactor. The optimized photocatalyst yielded a high nitrate photosynthesis rate of 0.93 μmol h-1 and selectivity of ∼90%, which is superior to most of the values reported thus far. Further, experimental results and in-situ investigations revealed that the atomically dispersed Cu sites in the as-designed sample significantly enhanced the separation and transfer efficiency of photogenerated carriers, adsorption and activation of reactants, and the formation of chemisorbed NOx intermediates, thereby realizing the excellent photofixation of N2 to nitrate.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive photoelectric detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) with PHI under visible light irradiation at room temperature (RT) remains an ongoing challenge due to the low charge separation and scarce adsorption sites. In this work, a dimensionally matched ultrathin CoNiHHTP MOF/PHI Z-scheme heterojunction is successfully constructed by taking advantage of the π-π interactions existing between the CoNiHHTP MOF and PHI. The amount-optimized heterojunction possesses a record detection limit of 1 ppb (response = 15.6%) for NO2 under 405 nm irradiation at RT, with reduced responsive (3.6 min) and recovery (2.7 min) times, good selectivity and reversibility, and long-time stability (150 days) compared with PHI, even superior to others reported at RT. Based on the time-resolved photoluminescence spectra, in situ X-ray photoelectron spectra, and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy results, the resulting sensing performance is attributed to the favorable Z-scheme charge transfer and separation. Moreover, the Ni nodes favorably present in adjacent metal sites between the lamellae contribute to charge transfer and redistribution, whereas Co nodes could act as selective centers for promoted adsorption of NO2. Interestingly, it is confirmed that the CoNiHHTP MOF/PHI heterojunction could effectively reduce the influence of O2 in the gas-sensitive reaction due to their unique bimetallic (Co and Ni) nodes, which is also favorable for the improved sensing performances for NO2. This work provides a feasible strategy to develop promising PHI-based optoelectronic gas sensors at RT.

Abstract
The unprecedented demand for highly selective, real-time monitoring and low-power gas sensors used in food quality control has been driven by the increasing popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT). Herein, the self-standing perylene diimide based covalent organic framework membranes (COFMPDI-THSTZ) were prepared via liquid-liquid interfacial synthesis method. By incorporating the perylene diimide monomer into the COFM through molecular engineering, COFMPDI-THSTZ based sensor demonstrated an outstanding trimethylamine (TMA)-sensing performance at room temperature. Benefited from the TMA-accessible self-standing membrane morphology, π-electron delocalization effect, and extensive surface area with continuous nanochannels, the specific and highly sensitive TMA measurement has been achieved within the range of 0.03-400 ppm, with an exceptional theoretical detection limit as low as 10 ppb. Moreover, the primary internal mechanism of COFMPDI-THSTZ for this efficient TMA detection was investigated through in-situ FT-IR spectra, thereby directly elucidating that the chemisorption interaction of oxygen modulated the depletion layers on sensing material surface, resulting in alterations in sensor resistance upon exposure to the target gas. For practical usage, COFMPDI-THSTZ based sensor exhibited exceptional real-time in-situ sensing capabilities, further confirmed their potential for application in dynamic prediction evaluation of marine fish products and quality monitoring in IoT.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic water splitting provides a sustainable method for storing intermittent energies, such as solar energy and wind, in the form of hydrogen fuel. However, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), constituting the other half-cell reaction, is often considered the bottleneck in overall water splitting due to its slow kinetics. Therefore, it is crucial to develop efficient, cost-effective, and robust OER catalysts to enhance the water-splitting process. Transition-metal-based coordination polymers (CPs) serve as promising electrocatalysts due to their diverse chemical architectures paired with redox-active metal centers. Despite their potential, the rational use of CPs has faced obstacles including a lack of insights into their catalytic mechanisms, low conductivity, and morphology issues. Consequently, achieving success in this field requires the rational design of ligands and topological networks with the desired electronic structure. This study delves into the design and synthesis of three novel conjugated coordination polymers (CCPs) by leveraging the full conjugation of terpyridine-attached flexible tetraphenylethylene units as electron-rich linkers with various redox-active metal centers [Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II)]. The self-assembly process is tuned for each CCP, resulting in two distinct morphologies: nanosheets and nanorings. The electrocatalytic OER performance efficiency is then correlated with factors such as the nanostructure morphology and redox-active metal centers in alkaline electrolytes. Notably, among the three morphologies studied, nanorings for each CCP exhibit a superior OER activity. Co(II)-integrated CCPs demonstrate a higher activity between the redox-active metal centers. Specifically, the Co(II) nanoring morphology displays exceptional catalytic activity for OER, with a lower overpotential of 347 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and small Tafel slopes of 115 mV dec-1. The long-term durability is demonstrated for at least 24 h at 1.57 V vs RHE during water splitting. This is presumably the first proof that links the importance of nanostructure morphologies to redox-active metal centers in improving the OER activity, and it may have implications for other transdisciplinary energy-related applications.

Abstract
Considering the synergistic carbon/pollution reduction and resource utilization, this study proposes recycling of manganese desulfurization slag to prepare low-temperature NH3 -SCR catalyst based on solid-state ion-exchange. The desulfurization slag was hydrothermally treated to be support under mild conditions, with the parent manganese oxide ore serving as active component. Hydrothermal treatment with a desulfurization slag to NaOH mass ratio of 1.0, at 100 °C for 10 h were actually cost-effective conditions for DS recycling. The catalyst with 13.6 wt% of Mn and activated at 450 °C for 2 h in air (MO3/DSH-450 -2) performed the best, with a NO conversion of 86.9% at 150 °C and 10000 h-1, and up to 92.6% at 175 °C. Hydrothermal treatment of DS, SSIE and calcination activation resulting in a rich surface acidity and lattice oxygen of MO3/DSH, coupled with better chemical state distribution of active metal sites, promoting the NH3 -SCR activity. The scale-up produced MO3/DSH-G maintained 90.4% NOx conversion at 175 °C, showing good robustness, flexibility, and better sulfur/water resistance. The development of MO3/DSH catalyst may make full use of natural manganese ore, is a typical coupling strategy for carbon-pollutant synergistic emission reduction and resource fully utilize.

Abstract
Waste calcium carbide slags (CS), which are widely applied to desulfurisation, are not typically used in denitration. Herein, to well achieve waste control by waste, a facile and high-efficiency denitration strategy is developed using KOH to modify the calcium carbide slags (KCS). Various KCS samples were investigated using a series of physical and chemical characterisations. The performance test results showed that the KOH concentration and reaction temperature are the main factors affecting the denitration efficiency of KCS, and CS modified with 1.5 mol/L KOH (KCS-1.5) can achieve 100% denitration efficiency at 300°C. Such excellent removal efficiency is due to the catalytic oxidation of the oxygen-containing functional groups derived from the KCS. Further studies showed that KOH treatment significantly increased the concentration of oxygen vacancies, nitro compounds, and basic sites of CS. This study provides a novel strategy for the resource utilisation of waste CS in the future.

Abstract
Supported nanoclusters (SNCs) with distinct geometric and electronic structures have garnered significant attention in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. However, their directed synthesis remains a challenge due to limited efficient approaches. This study presents a plasma-assisted treatment strategy to achieve supported metal oxide nanoclusters from a rapid transformation of monomeric dispersed metal oxides. As a case study, oligomeric vanadia-dominated surface sites were derived from the classic supported V2O5-WO3/TiO2 (VWT) catalyst and showed nearly an order of magnitude increase in turnover frequency (TOF) value via an H2-plasma treatment for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3. Such oligomeric surface VOx sites were not only successfully observed and firstly distinguished from WOx and TiO2 by advanced electron microscopy, but also facilitated the generation of surface amide and nitrates intermediates that enable barrier-less steps in the SCR reaction as observed by modulation excitation spectroscopy technologies and predicted DFT calculations.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is evidenced to be effective for constructing advanced catalysts. In particular, Cu2 O is identified to be active for general catalytic reactions. However, conflicting results regarding the true structure-activity correlations between Cu2 O-based active sites and efficiencies are usually reported. The structure of Cu2 O undergoes dynamic evolution rather than remaining stable under working conditions, in which the actual reaction cannot proceed over the prefabricated Cu2 O sites. Therefore, the dynamic construction of Cu2 O active sites can be developed to promote catalytic efficiency and reveal the true structure-activity correlations. Herein, by introducing the redox pairs of Cu2+ and reducing sugar into a photocatalysis system, it is clarified that the Cu2 O sub-nanoclusters (NCs), working as novel active sites, are on-site constructed on the substrate via a photoinduced pseudo-Fehling's route. The realistic interfacial charge separation and transformation capacities are remarkably promoted by the dynamic Cu2 O NCs under the actual catalysis condition, which achieves a milestone efficiency for nitrate-to-ammonia photosynthesis, including the targets of production rate (1.98±0.04 mol gCu -1 h-1 ), conversion ratio (94.2±0.91 %), and selectivity (98.6 %±0.55 %). The current work develops an effective strategy for integrating the active site construction into realistic reactions, providing new opportunities for Cu-based chemistry and catalysis sciences research.

Abstract
Lean-burn engines are gaining attention for their lower CO2 emissions, higher thermal efficiency, and improved fuel economy compared to traditional combustion engines. However, they present some difficulty for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) because of residual oxygen. To address this difficulty, NOx storage reduction (NSR) system, which combines noble metals and NOx adsorbents, is developed as a viable approach. But it requires cyclic operation, which adversely affects fuel efficiency. A novel approach proposed in this work is electric field-assisted lean NOx reduction, which applies an electric field to the NSR catalyst during lean conditions. This innovation uses surplus vehicle electricity for exhaust purification, enhances hydrogen transfer, and improves NOx reduction, even at low temperatures. Tests with a 3 wt% Pt-16 wt% BaO/CeO2 catalyst demonstrate markedly higher NOx conversion to N2 (13.1% vs. 2.9% without an electric field). This process is effective with extended electric field exposure, doubling the conversion rate. Electric field-assisted lean NOx reduction, by improving NSR technology, can enhance NOx conversion efficiency, reduce emissions, and optimize fuel efficiency in lean-burn engines.

Abstract
The byproduct formation in environmental catalysis is strongly influenced by the chemical state and coordination of catalysts. Herein, two Pd/CeO2 catalysts (PdCe-350 and PdCe-800) with varying oxygen vacancies (Ov) and coordination numbers (CN) of Pd were prepared to investigate the mechanism of N2O and NH3 formation during NO reduction by CO. PdCe-350 exhibits a higher density of Ov and Pd sites with higher CN, leading to an enhanced metal-support interaction by electron transformation from the support to Pd. Consequently, PdCe-350 displayed increased levels of byproduct formation. In situ spectroscopies under dry and wet conditions revealed that at low temperatures, the N2O formation strongly correlated with the Ov density through the decomposition of chelating nitro species on PdCe-350. Conversely, at high temperatures, it was linked to the reactivity of Pd species, primarily facilitated by monodentate nitrates on PdCe-800. In terms of NH3 formation, its occurrence was closely associated with the activation of H2O and C3H6, since a water-gas shift or hydrocarbon reforming could provide hydrogen. Both bridging and monodentate nitrates showed activity in NH3 formation, while hyponitrites were identified as key intermediates for both catalysts. The insights provide a fundamental understanding of the intricate relationship among the local coordination of Pd, surface Ov, and byproduct distribution.

Abstract
Co-existing air pollutants, especially NOx and VOCs, will generate secondary photochemical pollution under light irradiation. However, simultaneous elimination of multi-pollutants has long been a challenge. Photocatalysis could turn the reaction pathway between pollutants to convert them into harmless products, which is a promising technology for multi-pollutant control. Here we achieved synergistic photocatalytic degradation of NO and C7H8 on InOOH photocatalyst, and the performance can be adjusted by H2O through affecting the interaction between surface species and catalyst. In situ DRIFTS and GC-MS revealed that the improved efficiency originated from the fast conversion of C-N coupling intermediates led by additional H2O. Surface characterizations and DFT simulation determined that accumulated nitrates will compete with the adsorption of NO and C7H8, resulting in a decline in efficiency in the later stage. Although improved efficiency would bring more nitrates, as H2O has comparable adsorption to nitrate at the same site, high humidity can mitigate the deactivation. The photocatalyst can be also simply regenerated by water washing. This work reveals the complex interaction in the multi-pollutant system and provides guidelines for precisely regulating the synergistic removal of NOx and VOCs.

Abstract
The process of smelting and purifying the catalyst precursor salt from minerals is extremely complex, which directly leads to high catalyst costs and serious secondary pollution. In order to achieve energy saving and emission reduction in the catalyst preparation process, in-situ synthesis of catalyst materials from natural minerals is a new research direction. In this study, we firstly explored the optimal X value of MnXFe3-XO4 for the NH3 selective catalytic reduction of NO (NH3-SCR) reaction, i.e., the Mn, Fe ratio, and then prepared a novel highly active mineral-based pure phase MnXFe3-XO4 spinel NH3-SCR catalyst by natural ferromanganese ore fines with iron-red fines (Fe2O3) allotment through in situ solid-phase synthesis and magnetic separation methods according to this ratio. The results show that the X value of 1.5 (Mn1.5Fe1.5O4) is the best for NH3-SCR reaction. Mn1.5Fe1.5O4 nano-particles (201 nm) has nearly 100 % NO conversion (with 5 % H2O(g)) at 125-300 °C. The combination of characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that the catalytic process of Eley-Rideal (E-R) dehydrogenation is enhanced at both the active site Mn site and Fe site, which is a key factor in the acceleration of the NH3-SCR reaction with increasing X value at the MnXFe3-XO4 surface.

Abstract
Chemical C-N coupling from CO2 and NO3-, driven by renewable electricity, toward urea synthesis is an appealing alternative for Bosch-Meiser urea production. However, the unmatched kinetics in CO2 and NO3- reduction reactions and the complexity of C- and N-species involved in the co-reduction render the challenge of C-N coupling, leading to the low urea yield rate and Faradaic efficiency. Here, we report a single-atom copper-alloyed Pd catalyst (Pd4Cu1) that can achieve highly efficient C-N coupling toward urea electrosynthesis. The reduction kinetics of CO2 and NO3- is regulated and matched by steering Cu doping level and Pd4Cu1/FeNi(OH)2 interface. Charge-polarized Pdδ--Cuδ+ dual-sites stabilize the key *CO and *NH2 intermediates to promote C-N coupling. The synthesized Pd4Cu1-FeNi(OH)2 composite catalyst achieves a urea yield rate of 436.9 mmol gcat.-1 h-1 and Faradaic efficiency of 66.4%, as well as a long cycling stability of 1000 h. In-situ spectroscopic results and theoretical calculation reveal that atomically dispersed Cu in Pd lattice promotes the deep reduction of NO3- to *NH2, and the Pd-Cu dual-sites lower the energy barrier of the pivotal C-N coupling between *NH2 and *CO.

Abstract
NO reduction over highly dispersed zerovalent iron (Fe0) supported on graphene (G), with and without the presence of CO in the reacting stream, was systematically studied using a fixed-bed reactor, and the reaction mechanism was examined with the aid of in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The in situ FTIR results showed that NO adsorbed on the Fe0 site is reduced to form active surface oxygen species (O*), which is then reduced by carbon in graphene to form CO2. The presence of CO in the reacting stream helps to reduce the oxidized Fe(O) sites to regenerate Fe0 sites, making NO reduction easier. It was revealed that NO and CO2 are easily adsorbed on the active surface oxygen species (O*) to form nitrate and carbonate, inhibiting their reduction by CO and deactivating the catalyst. The DFT calculations results suggest that the role of Fe is to reduce the energy barrier of the NO adsorption and decomposition, which controls the formation of active surface oxygen species and N2. The combined FTIR and DFT results offer new insights into the possible mechanism of catalytic NO reduction over graphene loaded with Fe, with and without CO.

Abstract
Non-thermal plasma (NTP) has been demonstrated as one of the promising technologies that can degrade volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under ambient condition. However, one of the key challenges of VOCs degradation in NTP is its relatively low mineralization rate, which needs to be addressed by introducing catalysts. Therefore, the design and optimization of catalysts have become the focus of NTP coupling catalysis research. In this work, a series of two-dimensional nanosheet Co-Ni metal oxides were synthesized by microwave method and investigated for the catalytic oxidation of benzene in an NTP-catalysis coupling system. Among them, Co2Ni1Ox achieves 60% carbon dioxide (CO2) selectivity (SCO2) when the benzene removal efficiency (REbenzene) reaches more than 99%, which is a significant enhancement compared with the CO2 selectivity obtained without any catalysts (38%) under the same input power. More intriguingly, this SCO2 is also significantly higher than that of single metal oxides, NiO or Co3O4, which is only around 40%. Such improved performance of this binary metal oxide catalyst is uniquely attributed to the synergistic effects of Co and Ni in Co2Ni1Ox catalyst. The introduction of Co2Ni1Ox was found to promote the generation of acrolein significantly, one of the key intermediates found in NTP alone system reported previously, suggest the benzene ring open reaction is promoted. Compared with monometallic oxides NiO and Co3O4, Co2Ni1Ox also shows higher active oxygen proportion, better oxygen mobility, and stronger low-temperature redox capability. The above factors result in the improved catalytic performance of Co2Ni1Ox in the NTP coupling removal of benzene.

Abstract
Mineral particles in air could provide atmospheric chemical reaction interface for gaseous substances and participate in atmospheric chemical reaction process, and affecting the status and levels of gaseous pollutants in air. However, differences of the heterogenous reaction on the surface minerals particles are not very clear. Considering main mineral composition of ambient particles was from dust emission, therefore, typical clay minerals (chlorite, illite) and desert particles (Taklimakan Desert) were selected to analysize chemical reaction of NO2, one of major gaseous pollutants, on mineral particles by using of In-situ DRIFTS (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy) under different condition. And In situ near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (In situ NAP-XPS) was employed to investigate iron (one of the major metals) species variation on the surface of mineral dust particles during the heterogeneous reactions. Our data show that humidity controlled by deuterium oxide (D2O) has a greater effect on chemical reactions compared to light and temperature. Under dry conditions, the amount of heterogeneous reaction products of NO2 on the particles shows Xiaotang dust > chlorite > illite > Tazhong dust regardless of dark or light conditions. In contrast, under humidity conditions, the order of nitrate product quantity under moderate conditions was chlorite > illite > Xiaotang dust > Tazhong dust. In situ NAP-XPS results demonstrate that specie variation of the Fe could promote the heterogenous reactions. These data could provide useful information for understanding the formation mechanism of nitrate aerosols and removal of nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere.

Abstract
Catalyst deactivation caused by alkali metal poisoning has long been a key bottleneck in the application of selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR), limiting the service life of the catalyst and increasing the cost of environmental protection. Despite great efforts, continuous accumulation of alkali metal deposition makes the resistance capacity of 2 wt % K2O difficult to enhance via merely loading acid sites on the surface, resulting in rapid deactivation and frequent replacement of the NH3-SCR catalyst. To further improve the resistance of alkali metals, encapsulating alkali metals into the bulk phase could be a promising strategy. The bottleneck of 2 wt % K2O tolerance has been solved by virtue of ultrahigh potassium storage capacity in the amorphous FePO4 bulk phase. Amorphous FePO4 as a support of the NH3-SCR catalyst exhibited a self-adaptive alkali-tolerance mechanism, where potassium ions spontaneously migrated into the bulk phase of amorphous FePO4 and were anchored by PO43- with the generation of Fe2O3 at the NH3-SCR reaction temperature. This ingenious potassium storage mechanism could boost the K2O resistance capacity to 6 wt % while maintaining approximately 81% NOx conversion. Besides, amorphous FePO4 also exhibited excellent resistance to individual and coexistence of alkali (K2O and Na2O), alkali earth (CaO), and heavy metals (PbO and CdO), providing long durability for CePO4/FePO4 catalysts in flue gas with multipollutants. The cheap and accessible amorphous FePO4 paves the way for the development and implementation of poisoning-resistant NOx abatement.

Abstract
Wet denitrification is a promising approach to control nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced in fossil fuel combustion. Yet, the highly concentrated nitrite (NO2-) wastewater generated poses a major threat to the aqueous environment. Here, iridium nanoclusters (d = 1.63 nm) deposited on TiO2 were applied for NO2- reduction to ammonia (NRA), showing an exceptional NH4+ selectivity of 95% and a production rate of 20.51 mgN·L-1·h-1, which held significant potential for NO2- wastewater purification and ammonia resource recovery. Notably, an interesting non-first-order NO2- hydrogenation kinetics was observed, which was further confirmed to result from the competitive adsorption mechanism between H2 and NO2- over iridium. The NRA pathways on the Ir(111) surface were explored via density functional theory calculations with the NO2-* → NO* → HNO* → HNOH* → H2NOH* → NH2* → NH3* identified as the most energetically favorable pathway and the NO* → HNO* confirmed as the rate-determining step. In situ DRIFTS further experimentally verified the generation of HNO* intermediate during NO* hydrogenation on Ir(111). To verify NRA kinetics at varied NO2- concentrations or H2 pressures, a kinetic model was derived based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood competitive adsorption mechanism. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the NRA pathways on Ir nanocatalysts, which will be beneficial for wet denitrification waste stream decontamination and valorization.

Abstract
Nitrate (NO3-) is a widespread contaminant that threatens human health and ecological safety. Meanwhile, the disinfection byproducts chlorate (ClO3-) is generated inevitably in conventional wastewater treatment. Therefore, the contaminants mixture of NO3- and ClO3- are universal in common emission units. Photocatalysis technology is a feasible approach for the synergistic abatement of contaminant mixture, where matching suitable oxidation reactions is a potential strategy to improve the photocatalytic reduction reactions. Herein, formate (HCOOH) oxidation is introduced to facilitate the photocatalytic reduction of the NO3- and ClO3- mixture. As a result, high purification efficiency of NO3- and ClO3- mixture are achieved, evidenced by 84.6% e--dependent removal of the mixture at a reaction time of 30 min, with 94.5% N2 selectivity and 100% Cl- selectivity, respectively. Specifically, by the close combination of in-situ characterizations and theoretical calculations, the detailed reaction mechanism is revealed, in which the intermediate coupling-decoupling route from NO3- reduction and HCOOH oxidation is established by the chlorate-induced photoredox activation, leading to the significantly enhanced efficiency for the wastewater mixture purification. The practical application of this pathway is established for simulated wastewater to show its wide applicability. This work provides new insights into photoredox catalysis technology for its environmental application.

Abstract
Herein, we present a new series of CuI-based hybrid materials with tunable structures and semiconducting properties. The CuI inorganic modules can be tailored into a one-dimensional (1D) chain and two-dimensional (2D) layer and confined/stabilized in coordination frameworks of potassium isonicotinic acid (HINA) and its derivatives (HINA-R, R = OH, NO2, and COOH). The resulting CuI-based hybrid materials exhibit interesting semiconducting behaviors associated with the dimensionality of the inorganic module; for instance, the structures containing the 2D-CuI module demonstrate significantly enhanced photoconductivity with a maximum increase of five orders of magnitude compared to that of the structures containing the 1D-CuI module. They also represent the first CuI-bearing hybrid chemiresistive gas sensors for NO2 with boosted sensing performance and sensitivity at multiple orders of magnitude over that of the pristine CuI. Particularly, the sensing ability of CuI-K-INA containing both 1D- and 2D-CuI modules is comparable to those of the best NO2 chemiresistors reported thus far.

Abstract
The copper-cerium binary oxide catalysts supported by titanium dioxide with nanosphere core-shell structures, nanotube (TNT) core-shell structures, impregnation (imp) nanoparticles and sol-gel nanoparticles were prepared for NH3-SCR of NOx under medium-low temperature conditions. The effect of different morphologies on the Cu-Ce/TiO2 catalysts was comprehensively studied through physicochemical characterization. The results showed that the sol-gel nanoparticles exhibited 100% NOx reduction efficiency in the temperature range of 180-400 °C. Compared with the other catalysts, the sol-gel nanoparticle catalyst had the highest dispersion and lowest crystallinity, indicating that morphology played an important role in the NH3-SCR of the catalyst. The in situ DRIFTS study on the sol-gel nanoparticle catalyst shows that cerium could promote Cu2+ to produce abundant Lewis acid sites, which would significantly increase the adsorption reaction of ammonia on the catalyst surface, thereby promoting the occurrence of the Eley-Rideal (E-R) mechanism. With the Ce-Ti interaction on the atomic scale, the Ce-O-Ti structure enhanced the redox properties at a medium temperature. In addition, cerium oxide enhances the strong interaction between the catalyst matrix and CuO particles. Therefore, the reducibility of the CuO species was enhanced.

Abstract
An appealing strategy for ensuring environmental benefits of the photocatalytic NO oxidation reaction is to convert NO into NO3- instead of NO2, yet the selectivity of products remains challenging. Here, such a scenario could be realized by tailoring the exposure of Lewis acid sites on the surface of ZrO2, aiming to precisely regulate the ROS evolution process for the selective oxidation of NO into NO3-. As evidenced by highly combined experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) simulations, Lewis acid sites serving as electron acceptors could induce itinerant electron redistribution, charge-carrier transfer, and further oxidation of •O2-, which promotes the oriented formation of 1O2. As a result, monoclinic ZrO2 with more Lewis acid sites exhibited an outstanding NO conversion efficiency (56.33%) and extremely low NO2 selectivity (5.04%). The ROS-based reaction process and promotion mechanism of photocatalytic performance have been revealed on the basis of ESR analysis, ROS-quenching experiments, and in situ ROS-quenching DRIFTS. This work could provide a critical view toward oriented ROS formation and advance a unique mechanism of selective NO oxidation into NO3-.

Abstract
Catalytic elimination of toxic nitrile waste gas is of great significance for preserving the atmospheric environment, but achieving resource utilization during its destruction has been less explored. Herein, this study proposed a universal strategy for nitrile waste gas purification and NH3 generation simultaneously. The developed silver single-atom-doped ceria nanorod (Ag1/R-CeO2) was endowed with near complete mineralization and around 90% NH3 yield at 300-350 °C for the catalytic oxidation of both acetonitrile and acrylonitrile. The introduction of the Ag single atom created more surface oxygen vacancies, thereby promoting water activation to form abundant surface hydroxyl groups. As a benefit from this, the hydrolysis reaction of nitrile to generate NH3 was accelerated. Meanwhile, the electron transfer effect from the Ag atom to Ce and hydroxyl species facilitated NH3 desorption, which inhibited the oxidation of NH3. Moreover, the increased surface oxygen vacancies also promoted the mineralization of hydrolysis carbonaceous intermediates to CO2. In contrast, the Ag nanoparticle-modified sample possessed stronger reducibility and NH3 adsorption, leading to the excessive oxidation of NH3 to N2 and NOx. This work provided a useful guidance for resourceful purification of nitrile waste gas.

Abstract
Quantification in the driving patterns of activity descriptors on structure-activity relationships and reaction mechanisms over heterogeneous catalysts is still a great challenge and needs to be addressed urgently. Herein, with the example of typical Mn-based catalysts, based on the activity regularity and many characterizations, the chemisorbed oxygen density (ρOβ) and particle size (dTEM) have been proposed as the two-dimensional descriptors for selective catalytic reduction of NO, whose role is in quantifying the contents of vacancy defects and the amounts of active sites located on terraces or interfaces, respectively. They can be utilized to construct and quantify the driving patterns for the structure-activity relationships and reaction mechanisms of NO reduction. As a consequence, a complementary modulation for Ea by ρOβ and dTEM is described quantitatively in terms of the fitted functions. Moreover, based on the structure-activity relationships and the quantification laws of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), the reaction efficiency (RE) of the specific combined NOx-intermediate is identified as the trigger to drive the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism and modulated by the descriptors complementally and collaboratively following the fitted quantification functions. Either of the two descriptors at its lower values plays a dominant role in regulating Ea and RE, and the dominant factor evolves progressively: dTEM ↔ coupling dTEM with ρOβ ↔ ρOβ, when the dependency of Ea and RE on the descriptors is adopted to identify the dominant factor and domains. Therefore, this work has quantitatively accounted for the essence of activity modulation and may provide insight into the quantitative driving patterns for reaction activity and mechanism.

Abstract
The coexistence of NO and CH3CHO in the air is considered to produce secondary peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) under sunlight irradiation, threatening the ecological environment and public health. Herein, we provide a simple strategy for the photocatalytic removal of NO and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) on Sr2Sb2O7. In comparison with the single removal, the nearly complete removal of NO is reached by deep oxidation to NO3- with the assistance of CH3CHO. The underlying mechanism is revealed by GC-MS, in situ DRIFTS, and density functional theory calculations. The intermediates •CH3 from CH3CHO and NO2- from NO tend to bond and further oxidize to CH3ONO2, thus promoting NO removal. CH3NO2 and CH3ONO2 are the key products instead of PAN on Sr2Sb2O7 from the synergistic degradation of NO and CH3CHO. This work brings new insights into reaction pathway regulation for promoting performance and suppressing byproducts during synergistic air pollutant removal.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3 is the most efficient technology for NOx emissions control, but the activity of catalysts decreases exponentially with the decrease in reaction temperature, hindering the application of the technology in low-temperature SCR to treat industrial stack gases. Here, we present an industrially practicable technology to significantly enhance the SCR activity at low temperatures (<250 °C). By introducing an appropriate amount of O3 into the simulated stack gas, we find that O3 can stoichiometrically oxidize NO to generate NO2, which enables NO reduction to follow the fast SCR mechanism so as to accelerate SCR at low temperatures, and, in particular, an increase in SCR rate by more than four times is observed over atom-pair V1-W1 active sites supported on TiO2(001) at 200 °C. Using operando SCR tests and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra, we reveal that the introduction of O3 allows SCR to proceed along a NH4NO3-mediated Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, in which the adsorbed nitrate species speed up the re-oxidation of the catalytic sites that is the rate-limiting step of SCR, thus leading to the enhancement of activity at low temperatures. This technology could be applicable in the real stack gas conditions because O3 exclusively oxidizes NO even in the co-presence of SO2 and H2O, which provides a general strategy to improve low-temperature SCR efficacy from another perspective beyond designing catalysts.

Abstract
Ammonia selective catalytic oxidation (NH3-SCO) is a commercial technology applied to diesel vehicles to eliminate ammonia leakage. In this study, a series of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts were synthesized by an impregnation method, and the state of Pt species was carefully adjusted by heat treatment. These Pt/Al2O3 catalysts were further systematically characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption fine structure, UV-vis, H2-tempertaure-programmed reduction, and NH3-temperature-programmed desorption. The characterization results showed that dispersed oxidized Pt species were present on conventional Pt/Al2O3 samples, while high-temperature treatment induced the aggregation of platinum species to form metallic Pt nanoparticles. The Pt/Al2O3 catalysts treated at high temperatures showed superior activity and water tolerance in the NH3-SCO reaction. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy combined with mass spectrometry experiments revealed that the Lewis acid sites were more reactive than the Brønsted acid sites. Moreover, compared to oxidized Pt species, metallic Pt nanoparticles were beneficial for oxygen activation and were less affected by water vapor, thus contributing to the superior activity and water tolerance of Pt/Al-800.

Abstract
Photocatalysis using the visible light of the sun is an environmentally friendly method of eliminating the NOx pollutant from the ambient air. Although Cs3Bi2Br9, a semiconductor with a band gap of 2.54 eV, may be a strong absorber of visible light, its photocatalysis towards the abatement of NOx is unknown. In this study, Cs3Bi2-xPbxBr9-x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.0789) are used for the photocatalytic oxidation of NOx. A significant NO oxidation efficiency (80%) is observed over Cs3Bi2-xPbxBr9-x (x = 0.0443) under visible light, which is attributable to the Br vacancy (VBr) brought about by Pb2+ doping. The presence of VBr increased the ionic selectivity of in the oxidized NO. At higher Pb doping level, two HONOs adsorbed on the VBr, linked, and then reduced by hot electrons to produce N2O22-. The di-azo coupling could passivate the activation of NO on the VBr. This work advances the defect engineering of halide for the photo-driving solid-gas reaction in air.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed Fe was designed on TiO2 and explored as a Janus electrocatalyst for both nitrogen oxidation reaction (NOR) and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) in a two-electrode system. Pulsed electrochemical catalysis (PE) was firstly involved to inhibit the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Excitingly, an unanticipated yield of 7055.81 μmol h-1 g-1 cat. and 12 868.33 μmol h-1 g-1 cat. were obtained for NOR and NRR at 3.5 V, respectively, 44.94 times and 7.8 times increase in FE than the conventional constant voltage electrocatalytic method. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the single-atom Fe could stabilize the oxygen vacancy, lower the energy barrier for the vital rupture of N≡N, and result in enhanced N2 fixation performance. More importantly, PE could effectively enhance the N2 supply by reducing competitive O2 and H2 agglomeration, inhibit the electrocatalytic by-product formation for longstanding *OOH and *H intermediates, and promote the non-electrocatalytic process of N2 activation.

Abstract
This work represents research into materials designed to improve the environment. The study was carried out on aluminum hydroxide xerogels and alumina catalysts obtained by the Controlled Double Jet Precipitation (CDJP) process at different pH values. It has been shown that the pH of the CDJP process determines the content of aluminum-bound nitrate ions in the aluminum hydroxide. These ions are removed at a higher temperature than the decomposition of ammonium nitrate. The high content of aluminum-bound nitrate ions determines the structural disorder of the alumina and the high content of the penta-coordinated alumina catalyst.

Abstract
γ-Fe2O3 is considered to be a promising catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxide (NOx). In this study, first-principle calculations based on the density function theory (DFT) were utilized to explore the adsorption mechanism of NH3, NO, and other molecules on γ-Fe2O3, which is identified as a crucial step in the SCR process to eliminate NOx from coal-fired flue gas. The adsorption characteristics of reactants (NH3 and NOx) and products (N2 and H2O) at different active sites of the γ-Fe2O3 (111) surface were investigated. The results show that the NH3 was preferably adsorbed on the octahedral Fe site, with the N atom bonding to the octahedral Fe site. Both octahedral and tetrahedral Fe atoms were likely involved in bonding with the N and O atoms during the NO adsorption. The NO tended to be adsorbed on the tetrahedral Fe site though the combination of the N atom and the Fe site. Meanwhile, the simultaneous bonding of N and O atoms with surface sites made the adsorption more stable than that of single atom bonding. The γ-Fe2O3 (111) surface exhibited a low adsorption energy for N2 and H2O, suggesting that they could be adsorbed onto the surface but were readily desorbed, thus facilitating the SCR reaction. This work is conducive to reveal the reaction mechanism of SCR on γ-Fe2O3 and contributes to the development of low-temperature iron-based SCR catalysts.

Abstract
As 2 indispensable counterparts in one catalysis system, the independent reduction and oxidation reactions require synergetic regulation for cooperatively promoting redox efficiency. Despite the current success in promoting the catalytic efficiency of half reduction or oxidation reactions, the lack of redox integration leads to low energy efficiency and unsatisfied catalytic performance. Here, we exploit an emerging photoredox catalysis system by combining the reactions of nitrate reduction for ammonia synthesis and formaldehyde oxidation for formic acid production, in which superior photoredox efficiency is achieved on the spatially separated dual active sites of Ba single atoms and Ti3+. High catalytic redox rates are accomplished for respective ammonia synthesis (31.99 ± 0.79 mmol gcat -1 h-1) and formic acid production (54.11 ± 1.12 mmol gcat -1 h-1), reaching a photoredox apparent quantum efficiency of 10.3%. Then, the critical roles of the spatially separated dual active sites are revealed, where Ba single atoms as the oxidation site using h+ and Ti3+ as the reduction site using e- are identified, respectively. The efficient photoredox conversion of contaminants is accomplished with environmental importance and competitive economic value. This study also represents a new opportunity to upgrade the conventional half photocatalysis into the complete paradigm for sustainable solar energy utilization.

Abstract
Environmental monitoring of pollutants, such as NOx and COx, which can be facilitated by a range of gas sensors, is of considerable fundamental and practical importance. This work has been focused on the synthesis and evaluation of zeolite β with tin (Sn-BEA) and dealuminated β (DeAl-BEA) zeolites. The zeolite samples have been extensively investigated by IR, UV-VIS and NMR spectroscopy, XRD, TGA, and N2 adsorption-desorption. The prepared Sn-BEA sample is characterised by the submicron particle size, an almost defect-free structure, and high hydrophobicity. Sensors containing selective microporous layers based on Sn-BEA and DeAl-BEA zeolites have been prepared and extensively tested. Both the Sn-BEA and DeAl-BEA zeolites have been deposited in thin films and evaluated as gas sensors for CO, CO2, NO, and NO2 in the presence of water vapour at room temperature. The Sn-BEA zeolite-based sensor showed high selectivity towards NO2, while the DeAl-BEA is selective towards CO2 and NO2.

Abstract
Resolving severe deactivation by alkali metals for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR) is challenging. Herein, surface Ce2(SO4)3 species as a self-protection armor originally exhibited antipoisoning of potassium over ceria-based catalysts. The self-protection armor was also effective for other alkali (Na), alkali-earth (Ca), and heavy (Pb) metals, considerably resolving the deactivation of ceria-based SCR catalysts in practical applications. The catalytic activity tests indicated that the presence of ∼0.8 wt % potassium did not deactivate sulfated CeO2 catalysts, yet commercial V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts almost lost the NOx conversions. Potassium preferably bonded with surface sulfates to form K2SO4 accompanied with the majority of surface Ce2(SO4)3 over sulfated CeO2 catalysts, but preferably coupled with active vanadia to generate inactive KVO3 species over V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts. Such an active Ce2(SO4)3 species facilitated the adsorption and reactivity of NH3 and NOx, enabling ceria catalysts to maintain high catalytic efficiency in the presence of potassium. Conversely, the introduction of potassium into V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts caused a considerable loss of surface acidity, hindering catalyst reactivity during the SCR reaction. The self-protection armor of Ce2(SO4)3 species may open a promising pathway to develop efficient ceria-based SCR catalysts with strong antipoisoning ability.

Abstract
The nature of the constituent components of composite materials can significantly affect the character of their interaction with the gas phase. In this work, nanocrystalline In2O3 was synthesized by the chemical precipitation method and was modified using reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The obtained composites were characterized by several analysis techniques-XRD, TEM, SEM, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TGA, and DRIFTS. The XPS and FTIR and Raman spectroscopy results suggested the formation of interfacial contact between In2O3 and rGO. The results of the gas sensor's properties showed that additional UV illumination led to a decrease in resistance and an increase in sensor response at room temperature. However, the presence of humidity at room temperature led to the disappearance of the response for pure In2O3, while for the composites, an inversion of the sensor response toward ammonia was observed. The main reason may have been the formation of NH4NO3 intermediates with further hydrolysis and decomposition under light illumination with the formation of nitrite and nitrate species. The presence of these species was verified by in situ DRIFT spectroscopy. Their strong electron-accepting properties lead to an increase in resistance, which possibly affected the sensor signal's inversion.

Abstract
To precisely evaluate the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas separation and purification applications, it is crucial to understand how various molecules competitively adsorb inside MOFs. In this paper, we combine in situ infrared spectroscopy with ab initio calculations to investigate the mechanisms associated with coadsorption of several small molecules, including CO, NO, and CO2 inside the prototypical structure Ni-MOF-74. Surprisingly, we find that the displacement of CO bound inside Ni-MOF-74 (binding energy of 53 kJ/mol) is readily driven by CO2 exposure, even though CO2 has a noticeably weaker binding energy of only 41 kJ/mol; meanwhile, the significantly more strongly binding NO molecule (90 kJ/mol) is not able to easily displace bound CO inside Ni-MOF74. These results show that single-phase binding energies of a molecule inside the MOF cannot completely describe their interaction with the MOF in the presence of other guest molecules. We unveil many crucial factors, such as the kinetic barrier, partial pressure, secondary binding sites, and guest-host/lateral interactions that control the coadsorption process and, combined with the binding energy, are better descriptors of the behavior and adsorption of gas mixtures inside MOFs.

Abstract
Understanding NO x chemistry at titania nanoparticle surfaces is important for photocatalytic environmental remediation processes. We focus on this problem and put forward an experimental-computational approach based on vibrational spectroscopy grounds. Temperature-dependent IR experiments of NO x adsorption on shape-engineered nanoparticle (101) anatase surfaces are paired with power spectra obtained from Born-Oppenheimer trajectories. Then, the harmonic versus anharmonic vibrational frequencies of several adsorption scenarios are directly compared with the IR experiments. We conclude that molecules are adsorbed mainly by the N-end side and both the intermolecular interactions between adsorbed molecules and (NO)2 dimer formation are responsible for the main NO adsorption spectroscopic features. We also investigate the spectroscopy and the mechanism of formation on defective anatase surfaces of the long-lived greenhouse gas N2O.

Abstract
The copper-exchanged zeolite Cu-CHA has received considerable attention in recent years, owing to its application in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx species. Here, we study the NH3-SCR reaction mechanism on Cu-CHA using the hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) technique and investigate the effects of solvent on the reactivity of active Cu species. To this end, a comparison is made between water- and ammonia-solvated and bare Cu species. The results show the promoting effect of solvent on the oxidation component of the NH3-SCR cycle since the formation of important nitrate species is found to be energetically more favorable on the solvated Cu sites than in the absence of solvent molecules. Conversely, both solvent molecules are predicted to inhibit the reduction component of the NH3-SCR cycle. Diffuse reflectance infrared fourier-transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) experiments exploiting (concentration) modulation excitation spectroscopy (MES) and phase-sensitive detection (PSD) identified spectroscopic signatures of Cu-nitrate and Cu-nitrosamine (H2NNO), important species which had not been previously observed experimentally. This is further supported by the QM/MM-calculated harmonic vibrational analysis. Additional insights are provided into the reactivity of solvated active sites and the formation of key intermediates including their formation energies and vibrational spectroscopic signatures, allowing the development of a detailed understanding of the reaction mechanism. We demonstrate the role of solvated active sites and their influence on the energetics of important species that must be explicitly considered for an accurate understanding of NH3-SCR kinetics.
