Abstract
For large-size potassium accommodation, heterostructure usually suffers severe delamination and exfoliation at the interfaces due to different volume expansion of two-phase during charge/discharge process, resulting in the deconstruction of heterostructures and shortened lifespan of batteries. Here, an innovative strategy is proposed through constructing a microscopic heterostructure system containing copper quantum dots (Cu QDs) highly dispersed in the triphenyl-substituted triazine graphdiyne (TPTG) substrates (TPTG@CuQDs) to solve this problem. The copper quantum dots are uniformly anchored on TPTG substrates, generating a myriad of island-like heterogeneous structures, together with tandem toroidal built-in electric field (BIEF) between every micro heterointerface. The island-like heterostructure endows both benefits of exposed contact interface and robust architecture. Generated tandem toroidal BIEF provides efficient transport pathways with lower energy barriers, reducing the diffusion resistance and facilitating the reaction kinetics of potassium ions. When used as anode, the TPTG@CuQDs exhibit highly reversible capacity and low-capacity degradation (≈0.01% over 5560 cycles at 1 A g-1). Moreover, the TPTG@CuQDs-based full cell delivers an outstanding reversible capacity of ≈110 mAh g-1 over 800 cycles at 1 A g-1. This quantum-scale heterointerface construction strategy offers a new approach toward stable heterostructure design for the application of metal ion batteries.

Abstract
The electrochemical conversion of nitrate pollutants into value-added ammonia (NH3) is an appealing alternative synthetic route for sustainable NH3 production. However, the development of the electrocatalytic nitrate-to-ammonia reduction reaction (NO3RR) has been hampered by unruly reactants and products at the interface and the accompanied sluggish kinetic rate. In this work, a built-in positive valence space is successfully constructed over FeCu nanocrystals to rationally regulate interfacial component concentrations and positively shift the chemical equilibrium. With positive valence Cu optimizing the active surface, the space between the stern and shear layers becomes positive, which is able to continuously attract the negatively charged NO3- reactant and repulse the positively charged NH4+ product even under high current density, thus significantly boosting the NO3RR kinetics. The system with a built-in positive valence space affords an ampere-level NO3RR performance with the highest NH3 yield rate of 150.27 mg h-1 mg-1 at -1.3 V versus RHE with an outstanding NH3 current density of 189.53 mA cm-2, as well as a superior Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 97.26% at -1.2 V versus RHE. The strategy proposed here underscores the importance of interfacial concentration regulation and can find wider applicability in other electrochemical syntheses suffering from sluggish kinetics.

Abstract
Efficiently reconciling the substantial volume strain with maintaining the stabilities of both interfacial protection and three-dimensional (3D) conductive networks is a scientific and technical challenge in developing tin-based anodes for sodium ion storage. To address this issue, a proof-of-concept self-adaptive protection for the Sn anode is designed, taking advantage of the arbitrary substrate growth of graphdiyne. This protective layer, employing a flexible chain doping strategy, combines the benefits of 2D graphdiyne and linear chain structures to achieve 2D mechanical stability, electronic and ion conductions, ion selectivity, adequate elongation, and flexibility. It establishes close contact with the Sn particles and can adapt to dynamic size changes while effectively facilitating both electronic and ion transports. It successfully mitigates the detrimental effects of particle pulverization and coarsening induced by large-volume changes. The as-obtained Sn electrodes demonstrate exceptional stability, enduring 1800 cycles at a high current density of 2.5 A g-1. This strategy promises to address the general issues associated with large-strain electrodes in next-generation of high-energy-density batteries.

Abstract
Metal atom catalysts have been among the most important research objects due to their specific physical and chemical properties. However, precise control of the anchoring of metal atoms is still challenging to achieve. Cobalt and iridium atomic arrays formed sequentially ordered stable arrays in graphdiyne (GDY) triangular cavities depending on their intrinsic chemical properties and interactions. The success of this method was attributed to multifunctional integration of GDY, enabling selective growth from one to several atoms and various atomic densities. The bimetallic atom arrays show several advantages resulting from reducibility of acetylene bonds, space limiting effect, incomplete charge transfer between GDY and metal atoms, and sp-C hybridized triple bond skeleton. This well-designed system exhibits unprecedented oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance with a mass activity of 2.6 A mgcat. -1 at a low overpotential of 300 mV, which is 216.6 times higher than the state-of-the-art IrO2 catalyst, and long-term stability.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate is promising for sustainable ammonia synthesis but suffers from slow reduction kinetics and multiple competing reactions. Here, we report a catalyst featuring copper nitride (Cu3N) anchored on a novel graphdiyne support (termed Cu3N/GDY), which is used for electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate to produce ammonia. The GDY absorbed hydrogen and enabled nitrogen (N) vacancy formation in Cu3N for the fast nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR). Further, the distinct absorption sites formed by GDY and N vacancy enabled the excellent selectivity and stability of NO3RR. Notably, the Cu3N/GDY catalyst achieved a high ammonia yield (YNH3) up to 35280 μg h-1 mgcat.-1 and a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 98.1% using 0.1 M NO3- at -0.9 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology and in situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy measurement, we visualized the N vacancy formation in Cu3N and electrocatalytic NO3RR enabled by GDY. These findings show the promise of GDY in sustainable ammonia synthesis and highlight the efficacy of Cu3N/GDY as a catalyst.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been widely studied in a variety of electrocatalysis. However, its application in the electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) field still suffers from unsatisfactory performance, due to the sluggish mass transfer and significant kinetic barriers. Herein, a novel rare-earth-lanthanum-evoked optimization strategy is proposed to boost ambient NRR over SACs. The incorporation of La with a large atomic radius tends to break the atomic long-range order and trigger the amorphization of SACs, endowing a greater density of dangling bonds that could modify affinity for reactants and adsorbates. Moreover, with unique 5d16s2 valence-electron configurations, its presence could further enrich the electron density and enhance the intrinsic activity of single-metal center via the valence orbital coupling. As expected, the La-modified catalyst presents excellent activity toward the electrochemical NRR, delivering a maximum ammonia yield rate of 33.91 μg h-1 mg-1 and a remarkable Faradaic efficiency of 53.82%.

Abstract
Graphdiyne (GDY) is a new variant of nano-carbon material with excellent chemical, physical and electronic properties. It has attracted wide attention from researchers and industrialists for its extensive role in the fields of optics, electronics, bio-medics and energy. The unique arrangement of sp-sp2 carbon atoms, linear acetylenic linkages, uniform pores and highly conjugated structure offer numerous potentials for further exploration of GDY materials. However, since the material is at its infancy, not much understanding is available regarding its properties, growth mechanism and future applications. Therefore, in this review, readers are guided through a brief discussion on GDY's properties, different synthesis procedures with a special focus on surface functionalization and a list of applications for GDY. The review also critically analyses the advantages and disadvantages of each synthesis route and emphasizes the future scope of the material.

Abstract
Atomic thick two-dimensional (2D) materials with exciting physical, chemical, and electronic properties are gaining increasing attention in next-generation science and technology, showing great promise in catalysis and energy science. However, the precise design and synthesis of efficient catalytic systems based on such materials still face many difficulties, especially in how to control the preparation of structurally determined, highly active, atomic-scale distribution of material systems. Here, we report that a highly active zerovalent osmium single-atom-layer with a thickness of single atom size has been successfully and controllably self-organized on the surface of 2D graphdiyne (GDY) material. Detailed characterizations showed that the incomplete charge transfer effect between the Os atoms and GDY not only stabilized the catalytic system but also improved the intrinsic activity, making the Gibbs free energy reach the best and resulting in remarkable performance with a small overpotential of 49 mV at 500 mA cm-2, large specific j0 of 18.6 mA cm-2, and turnover frequency of 3.89 H2 s-1 at 50 mV. In addition, the formation of sp-C-Os bonds guarantees the high long-term stability of 800 h at a large current density of 500 mA cm-2 in alkaline simulated seawater.

Abstract
The fine regulation of catalysts by the atomic-level removal of inactive atoms can promote the active site exposure for performance enhancement, whereas suffering from the difficulty in controllably removing atoms using current micro/nano-scale material fabrication technologies. Here, we developed a surface atom knockout method to promote the active site exposure in an alloy catalyst. Taking Cu3Pd alloy as an example, it refers to assemble a battery using Cu3Pd and Zn as cathode and anode, the charge process of which proceeds at about 1.1 V, equal to the theoretical potential difference between Cu2+/Cu and Zn2+/Zn, suggesting the electricity-driven dissolution of Cu atoms. The precise knockout of Cu atoms is confirmed by the linear relationship between the amount of the removed Cu atoms and the battery cumulative specific capacity, which is attributed to the inherent atom-electron-capacity correspondence. We observed the surface atom knockout process at different stages and studied the evolution of the chemical environment. The alloy catalyst achieves a higher current density for oxygen reduction reaction compared to the original alloy and Pt/C. This work provides an atomic fabrication method for material synthesis and regulation toward the wide applications in catalysis, energy, and others.

Abstract
A strategy of microcrystalline aggregation is proposed to fabricate energy storage electrode with outstanding capacity and stability. Carbon-rich electrode (BDTG) functionalized with benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene units and butadiyne segments are prepared. The linear conjugate chains pack as microcrystalline nanofibers on nanoscale, which further aggregates to form a porous interpenetrating network. The microcrystalline aggregation feature of BDTG exhibit stable structure during long cycling test, revealing the following advantage in structure and property. The stretchable butadiyne linker facilitates reversible adsorption and desorption of Li with the aid of adjacent sulfur heteroatom. The alkyne-alkene transition exhibits intrinsic structural stability of microcrystalline region in BDTG electrodes. Meanwhile, alkynyl groups and sulfur heteroatoms on the surface of BDTG nanofibers participate in the formation of microscopic interface, providing a stable interfacial contact between BDTG electrodes and adjacent electrolyte. As a proof-of-concept, BDTG-based electrode shows high capacity (1430 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1) and excellent cycle performance (8000 cycles under 5 A g-1) in half-cell of lithium-ion batteries, and a reversible capacity of 120 mAh g-1 is obtained under the current density of 2 C in full-cell. This work shows microcrystalline aggregation is beneficial to realize adaptive intrinsic structure and interface contact during the charge-discharge process.

Abstract
Here, a strategy to strengthen d-p orbital hybridization by fabricating π backbonding in the catalyst for efficient lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) conversion is reported. A special interface structure of RuOx quantum dots (QDs) anchored on graphdiyne (GDY) nanoboxes (RuOx QDs/GDY) is prepared to enable strong Ru-to-alkyne π backdonation, which effectively regulates the d-electron structures of Ru centers to promote the d-p orbital hybridization between the catalyst and LiPSs and significantly boosts the catalytic performance of RuOx QDs/GDY. The strong affinity with Li ions and fast Li-ion diffusion of RuOx QDs/GDY also enable ultrastable Li metal anodes. Thus, S@RuOx QDs/GDY cathodes exhibit excellent cycling performance under harsh conditions, and Li@RuOx QDs/GDY anodes show an ultralong cycling life over 8800 h without Li dendrite growth. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) full cells with S@RuOx QDs/GDY cathodes and Li@RuOx QDs/GDY anodes can deliver an impressive areal capacity of 17.8 mA h cm-2 and good cycling stability under the practical conditions of low negative-to-positive electrode capacity (N/P) ratio (N/P = 1.4), lean electrolyte (E/S = 3 µL mg-1 ), and high S mass loading (15.4 mg cm-2 ).

Abstract
Modulating the electronic structure of metal nanoparticles via metal-support interaction has attracted intense interest in the field of catalytic science. However, the roles of supporting substrates in regulating the catalytic properties of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) remain elusive. Here, we find that the use of graphdiyne (GDY) as the substrate for electroless deposition of Pd nanoparticles (Pd/GDY) produces the most pronounced anodic signal enhancement in luminol-dissolved oxygen (O2) ECL system as co-reactant accelerator over other carbon-based Pd composite nanomaterials. Pd/GDY exhibits electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of O2 through a four-electron pathway at approximately -0.059 V (vs Ag/AgCl) in neutral solution forming reactive oxygen species (ROS) as intermediates. The study shows that the interaction of Pd and GDY increases the amount and stability of ROS on the Pd/GDY electrode surface and promotes the reaction of ROS and luminol anion radical to generate excited luminol, which significantly boosts the luminol anodic ECL emission. Based on quenching of luminol ECL through the consumption of ROS by antioxidants, we develop a platform for the detection of intracellular antioxidants. This study provides an avenue for the development of efficient luminol ECL systems in neutral media and expands the biological application of ECL systems.

Abstract
In recent years, the emergence of novel 2D monoelemental materials (Xenes), e.g., graphdiyne, borophene, phosphorene, antimonene, bismuthene, and stanene, has exhibited unprecedented potentials for their versatile applications as well as addressing new discoveries in fundamental science. Owing to their unique physicochemical, optical, and electronic properties, emerging Xenes have been regarded as promising candidates in the community of single-atom catalysts (SACs) as single-atom active sites or support matrixes for significant improvement in intrinsic activity and selectivity. In order to comprehensively understand the relationships between the structure and property of Xene-based SACs, this review represents a comprehensive summary from theoretical predictions to experimental investigations. Firstly, theoretical calculations regarding both the anchoring of Xene-based single-atom active sites on versatile support matrixes and doping/substituting heteroatoms at Xene-based support matrixes are briefly summarized. Secondly, controlled synthesis and precise characterization are presented for Xene-based SACs. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities for the development of Xene-based SACs are highlighted.

Abstract
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is a burgeoning field for green and sustainable ammonia production, in which numerous potential catalysts emerge endlessly. However, satisfactory performances are still not realized under practical applications due to the limited solubility and sluggish diffusion of nitrogen at the interface. Herein, molecular imprinting technology is adopted to construct an adlayer with abundant nitrogen imprints on the electrocatalyst, which is capable of selectively recognizing and proactively aggregating high-concentrated nitrogen at the interface while hindering the access of overwhelming water simultaneously. With this favorable microenvironment, nitrogen can preferentially occupy the active surface, and the NRR equilibrium can be positively shifted to facilitate the reaction kinetics. Approximately threefold improvements in both ammonia production rate (185.7 µg h-1 mg-1 ) and Faradaic efficiency (72.9%) are achieved by a metal-free catalyst compared with the bare one. It is believed that the molecular imprinting strategy should be a general method to find further applicability in numerous catalysts or even other reactions facing similar challenges.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts with high efficiency and low cost are always urgently needed for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). As a new carbon allotrope, graphdiyne (GDY) has received much attention due to its unique chemical structure containing sp- and sp2-hybridized carbons, and intrinsic electrochemical activity ascribed to its inherent conductivity. Herein, we prepared two graphdiyne materials named GDY nanotube and nitrogen-doped GDY (NGDY) nanotube via cross-coupling reactions on the surface of Cu nanowires. As metal-free catalysts, their electrocatalytic activities for ORR were demonstrated. The results showed that the NGDY nanotube presents more excellent electrochemical performance than that of the GDY nanotube, including more positive potential and faster kinetics and charge transfer process. The improvement can be ascribed to the greater number of structural electrocatalytic active sites from nitrogen atoms as well as the hollow nanotube morphology, which is beneficial to the adsorption of oxygen and acceleration of the catalytic reaction. This work helps develop high-quality graphdiyne-based electrocatalysts with well-defined chemical structures and morphologies for various electrochemical reactions.

Abstract
Selective hydrogenation of olefins with water as the hydrogen source at ambient conditions is still a big challenge in the field of catalysis. Herein, the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of purely aliphatic and functionalized olefins was achieved by using graphdiyne based copper oxide quantum dots (Cux O/GDY) as cathodic electrodes and water as the hydrogen source, with high activity and selectivity in aqueous solution at high current density under ambient temperature and pressure. In particular, the sp-/sp2 -hybridized graphdiyne catalyst allows the selective hydrogenation of cis-trans isomeric olefins. The chemical and electronic structure of the GDY results in the incomplete charge transfer between GDY and Cu atoms to optimize the adsorption/desorption of the reaction intermediates and results in high reaction selectivity and activity for hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
Carbon materials technology provides the possibility of synthesizing low-cost, outstanding performance replacements to noble-metal catalysts for long-term use. Graphdiyne (GDY) is a carbon allotrope with an extremely thin atomic thickness. It consists of carbon elements, that are hybridized with both sp. and sp2, resulting in a multilayered two-dimensional (2D) configuration. Several functional models suggest, that GDY contains spontaneously existing band structure with Dirac poles. This is due to the non-uniform interaction among carbon atoms, which results from various fusions and overlapping of the 2pz subshell. Unlike other carbon allotropes, GDY has Dirac cone arrangements, that in turn give it inimitable physiochemical characteristics. These properties include an adjustable intrinsic energy gap, high speeds charging transport modulation efficiency, and exceptional conductance. Many scientists are interested in such novel, linear, stacked materials, including GDY. As a result, organized synthesis of GDY has been pursued, making it one of the first synthesized GDY materials. There are several methods to manipulate the band structure of GDY, including applying stresses, introducing boron/nitrogen loading, utilizing nanowires, and hydrogenations. The flexibility of GDY can be effectively demonstrated through the formation of nano walls, nanostructures, nanotube patterns, nanorods, or structured striped clusters. GDY, being a carbon material, has a wide range of applications owing to its remarkable structural and electrical characteristics. According to subsequent research, the GDY can be utilized in numerous energy generation processes, such as electrochemical water splitting (ECWS), photoelectrochemical water splitting (PEC WS), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), overall water splitting (OWS), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), energy storage materials, lithium-Ion batteries (LiBs) and solar cell applications. These studies suggested that the use of GDY holds significant potential for the development and implementation of efficient, multimodal, and intelligent catalysts with realistic applications. However, the limitation of GDY and GDY-based composites for forthcoming studies are similarly acknowledged. The objective of these studies is to deliver a comprehensive knowledge of GDY and inspire further advancement and utilization of these unique carbon materials.

Abstract
The development of catalysts that can selectively and efficiently promote the alkene epoxidation at ambient temperatures and pressures is an important promising path to renewable synthesis of various chemical products. Here we report a new type of zerovalent atom catalysts comprised of zerovalent Ir atoms highly dispersed and anchored on graphdiyne (Ir0/GDY) wherein the Ir0 is stabilized by the incomplete charge transfer effect and the confined effect of GDY natural cavity. The Ir0/GDY can selectively and efficiently produce styrene oxides (SO) by electro-oxidizing styrene (ST) in aqueous solutions at ambient temperatures and pressures with high conversion efficiency of ∼100%, high SO selectivity of 85.5%, and high Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 55%. Experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results show that the intrinsic activity and stability due to the incomplete charge transfer between Ir0 and GDY effectively promoted the electron exchange between the catalyst and reactant molecule, and realized the selective epoxidation of ST to SO. Studies of the reaction mechanism demonstrate that Ir0/GDY proceeds a distinctive pathway for highly selective and active alkene-to-epoxide conversion from the traditional processes. This work presents a new example of constructing zerovalent metal atoms within the GDY matrix toward selective electrocatalytic epoxidation.

Abstract
Graphdiyne (GDY) is a promising material possessing extensive electronic tunability, high π conjugacy, and ordered porosity at a molecular level for the sp/sp2-hybridized periodic structures. Despite these advantages, the preparation of soluble and crystalline graphdiyne is limited by the relatively compact stacking interactions, mostly existing in thick-layer and insoluble solids. Herein, we proposed a strategy of "framework charge-induced intercalation (FCII)" for the synthesis of a soluble (4.3 mg ml-1) and yet interlayer-expanded (∼0.6 Å) crystalline ionic graphdiyne, named as N+-GDY, through regulating the interlayer interactions. The skeleton of such a sample is positively charged, and then the negative ions migrate to the interlayer to expand the space, endowing the N+-GDY with solution processability. The crystal structure of N+-GDY is proved through analysis of HR-TEM images under different axes of observation and theoretical simulations. The resulting N+-GDY possesses high dispersity in organic solvents to produce a pure-solution phase which is conducive to the formation of oriented N+-GDY films, accompanied by exfoliation-nanosheet restacking. The film exhibits a conductivity of 0.014 S m-1, enabling its applications in electronic devices.

Abstract
A satisfactory material with high adsorption capacity is urgently needed to solve the serious problem of environment and human health caused by lead pollution. Herein, hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne (HsGDY) was successfully fabricated and employed to remove lead ions from sewage and lead-containing blood. The as-prepared HsGDY exhibits the highest adsorption capacity of lead among the reported materials with a maximum adsorption capacity of 2,390 mg/g, i.e., ~five times larger than that of graphdiyne (GDY). The distinguished hexagonal hole and stack mode of HsGDY allows the adsorption of more lead via its inner side adsorption mode in one single unit space. In addition, the Pb 6s and H 1s hybridization promotes the strong bonding of lead atom adsorbed at the acetylenic bond of HsGDY, contributing to the high adsorption capacity. HsGDY can be easily regenerated by acid treatment and showed excellent regeneration ability and reliability after six adsorption-regeneration cycles. Langmuir isotherm model, pseudo second order, and density functional theory (DFT) demonstrated that the lead adsorption process in HsGDY is monolayer chemisorption. Furthermore, the HsGDY-based portable filter can handle 1,000 μg/L lead-containing aqueous solution up to 1,000 mL, which is nearly 6.67 times that of commercial activated carbon particles. And, the HsGDY shows good biocompatibility and excellent removal efficiency to 100 μg/L blood lead, which is 1.7 times higher than that of GDY. These findings suggest that HsGDY could be a promising adsorbent for practical lead and other heavy metal removal.

Abstract
Carbon allotropes have contributed to all aspects of people's lives throughout human history. As emerging carbon-based low-dimensional materials, graphyne family members (GYF), represented by graphdiyne, have a wide range potential applications due to their superior physical and chemical properties. In particular, graphdiyne (GDY), as the leader of the graphyne family, has been practically applied to various research fields since it was first successfully synthesized. GYF have a large surface area, both sp and sp2 hybridization, and a certain band gap, which was considered to originate from the overlap of carbon 2pz orbitals and the inhomogeneous π-bonds of carbon atoms in different hybridization forms. These properties mean GYF-based materials still have many potential applications to be developed, especially in energy storage and catalytic utilization. Since most of the GYF have yet to be synthesized and applications of successfully synthesized GYF have not been developed for a long time, theoretical results in various application fields should be shared to experimentalists to attract more intentions. In this Review, we summarized and discussed the synthesis, structural properties, and applications of GYF-based materials from the theoretical insights, hoping to provide different viewpoints and comments.

Abstract
Graphdiyne, a sp- and sp2-hybridized 2D π-conjugated carbon material with well-dispersed pores and unique electronic properties, was well investigated and applied in catalysis, electronics, optics, and energy storage and conversion. Graphdiyne fragments with conjugation in 2D can provide in-depth insights for understanding the intrinsic structure-property relationships of graphdiyne. Herein, an atomic precise wheel-shaped nanographdiyne composed of six dehydrobenzo [18] annulenes ([18]DBAs, the smallest macrocyclic unit of graphdiyne), was realized through the sixfold intramolecular Eglinton coupling in the hexabutadiyne precursors obtained by the sixfold Cadiot-Chodkiewicz cross-coupling of hexaethynylbenzene. Its planar structure was revealed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The full cross-conjugation of the six 18π electron circuits yields the π-electron conjugation along the giant π core. This work provides a realizable method for the synthesis of future graphdiyne fragments with different functional groups and/or heteroatom doping, as well as the study of the unique electronic/photophysical properties and aggregation behavior of graphdiyne.

Abstract
Graphdiyne (GDY) is a novel two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope that has attracted much attention in materials, physics, chemistry, and microelectronics for its excellent properties. Much effort has been devoted to exploring the biomedical applications of GDY in 2D carbon nanomaterials, especially for smart drugs and gene delivery. However, few studies have focused on the biocompatibility and potential environmental hazards of GDY and its derivatives. In this study, graphdiyne oxide (GDYO) and graphene oxide (GO) were obtained using different oxidation methods. Their cytotoxicity and hemolysis in vitro and biocompatibility in subcutaneous and peritoneal locations in vivo were compared. GDYO had very low biotoxicity in vitro and was moderately biocompatible in the muscle and abdominal cavity in vivo. Highly oxidized products and graphdiyne quantum dots (GDQDs) were observed in peritoneal cells. GDYO had better biocompatibility and its sheet size was easily diminished through oxidative degradation. Therefore, GDYO is a good candidate for use in 2D carbon nanomaterials in biomedicine.

Abstract
Metal-free 2D phosphorus-based materials are emerging catalysts for ammonia (NH3 ) production through a sustainable electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction route under ambient conditions. However, their efficiency and stability remain challenging due to the surface oxidization. Herein, a stable phosphorus-based electrocatalyst, silicon phosphide (SiP), is explored. Density functional theory calculations certify that the N2 activation can be realized on the zigzag Si sites with a dimeric end-on coordinated mode. Such sites also allow the subsequent protonation process via the alternating associative mechanism. As the proof-of-concept demonstration, both the crystalline and amorphous SiP nanosheets (denoted as C-SiP NSs and A-SiP NSs, respectively) are obtained through ultrasonic exfoliation processes, but only the crystalline one enables effective and stable electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction, in terms of an NH3 yield rate of 16.12 µg h-1 mgcat. -1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 22.48% at -0.3 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode. The resistance to oxidization plays the decisive role in guaranteeing the NH3 electrosynthesis activity for C-SiP NSs. This surface stability endows C-SiP NSs with the capability to serve as appealing electrocatalysts for nitrogen reduction reactions and other promising applications.

Abstract
Carbon aerogels are special porous materials with low density and large specific surface area and have advanced applications. As a new type of carbon nanomaterials, graphdiynes (GDY) aerogel possess a highly π-conjugated structure, unique sp/sp2-hybridized linkages, and well-distributed intrinsic pores, which endow GDY aerogel with great potential applications. However, the fabrication of macroscopic GDY aerogel is still an ongoing challenge due to intrinsic synthetic difficulties. Here, a modified Hiyama coupling reaction was developed to synthesize GDY aerogel via in-situ deprotection of trimethylsilane groups and subsequent freeze-drying. The synthesized GDY aerogel has a low density of ∼12 mg cm-3, a high specific surface area of ∼909 m2 g-1, and a porosity of ∼98%, which is superior to other GDY nanomaterials. The adsorption capacity of GDY aerogel toward H2, CO2, and CH4 is investigated, and competitive adsorption abilities are obtained.

Abstract
Vacancies can significantly affect the performance of metal oxide materials. Here, a gradient graphdiyne (GDY) induced Cu/O-dual-vacancies abundant Cu0.95 V2 O5 @GDY heterostructure material has been prepared as a competitive fast-charging anode material. Cu0.95 V2 O5 self-catalyzes the growth of gradient GDY with rich alkyne-alkene complex in the inner layer and rich alkyne bonds in the outer layer, leading to the formation of Cu and O vacancies in Cu0.95 V2 O5 . The synergistic effect of vacancies and gradient GDY results in the electron redistribution at the hetero-interface to drive the generation of a built-in electric field. Thus, the Li-ion transport kinetics, electrochemical reaction reversibility and Li storage sites of Cu0.95 V2 O5 are greatly enhanced. The Cu0.95 V2 O5 @GDY anodes show excellent fast-charging performance with high capacities and negligible capacity decay for 10 000 cycles and 20 000 cycles at extremely high current densities of 5 A g-1 and 10 A g-1 , respectively. Over 30 % of capacity can be delivered in 35 seconds.

Abstract
As a special carbon material, graphdiyne (GDY) features the superiorities of incomplete charge transfer effect on the atomic level, tunable electronic structure and anchoring metal atoms directly with organometallic coordination bonds M (metal)-C (alkynyl carbon in GDY), providing it an ideal platform to construct single-atom catalysts (ACs). The coordination environment of single atoms anchored on GDY plays a key role in their catalytic performance. The mini-review highlights state-of-the-art progress in the rational design of GDY-based ACs and their applications, and mainly reveals the relationship between the coordination engineering of the GDY-based ACs and corresponding catalytic performance. Finally, some prospects concerning the future development of GDY-based ACs in energy conversion are also discussed.

Abstract
The interfacial interaction in supported catalysts is of great significance for heterogeneous catalysis because it can induce charge transfer, regulate electronic structure of active sites, influence reactant adsorption behavior, and eventually affect the catalytic performance. It has been theoretically and experimentally elucidated well in metal/oxide catalysts and oxide/metal inverse catalysts, but is rarely reported in carbon-supported catalysts due to the inertness of traditional carbon materials. Using an example of a graphdiyne-supported cuprous oxide nanocluster catalyst (Cu2O NCs/GDY), we herein demonstrate the strong electronic interaction between them and put forward a new type of electronic oxide-graphdiyne strong interaction, analogous to the concept of electronic oxide/metal strong interactions in oxide/metal inverse catalysts. Such electronic oxide-graphdiyne strong interaction can not only stabilize Cu2O NCs in a low-oxidation state without aggregation and oxidation under ambient conditions but also change their electronic structure, resulting in the optimized adsorption energy for reactants/intermediates and thus leading to improved catalytic activity in the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. Our study will contribute to the comprehensive understanding of interfacial interactions in supported catalysts.

Abstract
The unique characteristic of superatoms to show chemical properties like those of individual atoms opens a new avenue towards replacing noble metals as catalysts. Given the similar electronic structures of the ZrO superatom and the Pd atom, the CO oxidation mechanisms catalysed by (ZrO)n (n=1-4) clusters were investigated in detail to evaluate their catalytic performance. Our results reveal that a single ZrO superatom exhibits superior catalytic ability in CO oxidation than both larger (ZrO)n (n=2-4) clusters and a Pd atom, indicating the promising potential of ZrO as a "single-superatom catalyst". Moreover, the mechanism of CO oxidation catalysed by ZrO+/- suggests that depositing a ZrO superatom onto the electron-rich substrates is a better choice for practical catalysis application. Accordingly, a graphene nanosheet (coronene) was chosen as a representative substrate for ZrO and Pd to assess their catalytic performances in CO oxidation. Acting as an "electron sponge", this carbon substrate can both donate and accept charges in different reaction steps, enabling the supported ZrO to achieve enhanced catalytic performance in this process with a low energy barrier of 19.63 kcal/mol. This paper presents a new realization on the catalytic performance of Pd-like superatom in CO oxidation, which could increase the interests in exploring noble metal-like superatoms as efficient catalysts for various reactions.

Abstract
The surface and interface coordination structures of heterogeneous metal catalysts are crucial to their catalytic performance. However, the complicated surface and interface structures of heterogeneous catalysts make it challenging to identify the molecular-level structure of their active sites and thus precisely control their performance. To address this challenge, atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADMCs) and ligand-protected atomically precise metal clusters (APMCs) have been emerging as two important classes of model heterogeneous catalysts in recent years, helping to build bridge between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This review illustrates how the surface and interface coordination chemistry of these two types of model catalysts determines the catalytic performance from multiple dimensions. The section of ADMCs starts with the local coordination structure of metal sites at the metal-support interface, and then focuses on the effects of coordinating atoms, including their basicity and hardness/softness. Studies are also summarized to discuss the cooperativity achieved by dual metal sites and remote effects. In the section of APMCs, the roles of surface ligands and supports in determining the catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability of APMCs are illustrated. Finally, some personal perspectives on the further development of surface coordination and interface chemistry for model heterogeneous metal catalysts are presented.

Abstract
Artificial nitrogen conversion reactions, such as the production of ammonia via dinitrogen or nitrate reduction and the synthesis of organonitrogen compounds via C-N coupling, play a pivotal role in the modern life. As alternatives to the traditional industrial processes that are energy- and carbon-emission-intensive, electrocatalytic nitrogen conversion reactions under mild conditions have attracted significant research interests. However, the electrosynthesis process still suffers from low product yield and Faradaic efficiency, which highlight the importance of developing efficient catalysts. In contrast to the transition-metal-based catalysts that have been widely studied, the p-block-element-based catalysts have recently shown promising performance because of their intriguing physiochemical properties and intrinsically poor hydrogen adsorption ability. In this Perspective, we summarize the latest breakthroughs in the development of p-block-element-based electrocatalysts toward nitrogen conversion applications, including ammonia electrosynthesis from N2 reduction and nitrate reduction and urea electrosynthesis using nitrogen-containing feedstocks and carbon dioxide. The catalyst design strategies and the underlying reaction mechanisms are discussed. Finally, major challenges and opportunities in future research directions are also proposed.

Ammonia Decomposition over Ru/SiO2 Catalysts. Catalysts 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/catal12101203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Ammonia decomposition is a key step in hydrogen production and is considered a promising practical intercontinental hydrogen carrier. In this study, 1 wt.% Ru/SiO2 catalysts were prepared via wet impregnation and subjected to calcination in air at different temperatures to control the particle size of Ru. Furthermore, silica supports with different surface areas were prepared after calcination at different temperatures and utilized to support a change in the Ru particle size distribution of Ru/SiO2. N2 physisorption and transmission electron microscopy were used to probe the textural properties and Ru particle size distribution of the catalysts, respectively. These results show that the Ru/SiO2 catalyst with a high-surface area achieved the highest ammonia conversion among catalysts at 400 °C. Notably, this is closely related to the Ru particle sizes ranging between 5 and 6 nm, which supports the notion that ammonia decomposition is a structure-sensitive reaction.

Industrial ammonia has caused a series of problems for the population and environment. In the face of sustainable green synthesis methods, the advantages of electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction for synthesis of NH3 in aqueous media have attracted a great amount of attention from researchers. This review summarizes the recent progress on the highly efficient electrocatalysts based on 2D non-metallic nanomaterial and provides a brief overview of the synthesis principle of electrocatalysis and the performance measurement indicators of electrocatalysts. Moreover, the current development of N2 reduction reaction (NRR) electrocatalyst is discussed and prospected.

Abstract
The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is expected to achieve sustainable ammonia synthesis via direct nitrogen fixation; however, the high-quality catalysts that play a crucial role in the NRR are still lacking. The emerging transition metal-1,3,5-triethynylbenzene (TM-TEB) frameworks offer attractive possibilities in the electrochemical catalysis due to the featured atomic and electronic structures. This work presents a comprehensive first-principles study of the TM-TEB systems for TMs from the first three d-block series and systematically explores their potential applications as NRR electrocatalysts. By designing a hierarchical screening strategy, the TM-TEB systems are evaluated based on the NRR catalytic activity as well as the competition from the hydrogen evolution reaction. In addition, in order to have a deeper understanding of the catalytic activities of the TM-TEB systems, diverse possible NRR paths on the TM-TEB surfaces are completely analyzed as well. Our analysis reveals that the TM-TEB systems with TM = V, Mo, Tc, W, and Os are electrocatalysts with a high NRR catalytic activity, while among them, only Mo- and V-TEB show promising NRR selectively. This work demonstrates the great potential of the TM-TEB systems as electrocatalysts in the NRR process, which improves the understanding of the TM-TEB systems and can motivate further exploration of their application in catalysis.

Abstract
Sp-C-hybridized alkyne bonds present the natural advantages of interacting with metal atoms and have the ability to generate a large number of new catalytic active sites on the surface and the interfaces, thus greatly promoting the efficient progress of various light/electrochemical reactions. In this work, we have successfully fabricated a novel type of interfacial structure containing sp-C-Mo/O bonds and mixed Mo valence states with outstanding catalytic activity and stability for photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) overall water splitting in a wide pH range (0-14), due to the presence of sp-carbon-rich graphdiyne. For example, in alkaline conditions (pH = 14), the overpotentials of oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions at 10 mA cm-2 are 165 and 8 mV. When being used as an electrolyzer, the cell voltage of this catalyst is only 1.40 V to achieve 10 mA cm-2. The high PEC activity of graphdiyne@molybdenum oxide originates from the conversion of chemical bonds at the sp-C hybrid interface and the coexistence of multivalent states of molybdenum, triggering a large number of catalytic active sites, greatly promoting charge transfer and lowering water dissociation energy.

Abstract
A highly active and stable electrocatalyst based on Pd nanoparticles anchored on zeolitic imidazolate framework-derived Fe/Co/N co-doped carbon (Pd/FeCoNC) is prepared. FeCo alloy nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed and wrapped by graphene layers in Fe/Co/N co-doped carbon (FeCoNC). The influences of carbonization temperature on the structure and catalytic activity of FeCoNC toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are investigated. The FeCoNC prepared at 800 °C (FeCoNC-800) has a favorable ORR catalytic activity as a consequence of the synergistic effect of Fe/Co/N co-doping and hierarchical pore structures of coexisting micropores and mesopores. Pyridinic N in FeCoNC is a preferential adsorption site for anchoring Pd nanoparticles. Pd/FeCoNC exhibits both superior activity and durability to 40 wt % Pt/C at the same level of metallic mass loading, which shows a 44 mV higher half-wave potential (0.88 V) than Pt/C and a 91% remaining current of the initial after 10,000 s. The Fe/Co/N co-doping and hierarchical pores of FeCoNC contribute a large diffusion current, and the introduction of Pd realizes more positive onset and half-wave potentials. This work provides an easy way for preparing low-cost and high-efficiency catalysts for ORR.

Abstract
Developing high-performance nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) electrocatalysts is an ongoing challenge. Herein, we report a pyrolysis-free synthetic method for introducing ordered quasi-phthalocyanine N-coordinated transition metal (Ti, Cu, or Co) centers into a conjugated two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework (COF) for enhanced NRR performance. Detailed experiments and characterizations revealed that the NRR activity of Ti-COF was clearly better than that of Cu-COF and Co-COF, because of the superior abilities of Ti metal centers in activating inert N2 molecules and suppressing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The resulting Ti-COF exhibits a high NH3 yield of 26.89 μg h-1 mg-1cat. and a Faradaic efficiency of 34.62% for NRR. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations verify that Ti-COF can effectively adsorb and activate N2 molecules and inhibit HER compared with Cu-COF, Co-COF, and pristine COF catalysts. This work opens a new avenue for developing 2D-COF materials that contain abundant coordinated transition metal centers toward electrocatalytic NRR.

Abstract
Self-active metal-free graphdiyne (GDY) is used, which has a precise chemical structure, as a model carbon-based metal-free electrocatalyst to assess its activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and to understand the origin of electrocatalytic performance at the atomic level. The studies reveal that the unusual electrocatalytic properties of GDY originate from its unique nanostructure, which can simultaneously provide highly active sites for hydrogen adsorption and facilitate the electron-transfer process for proton reduction. Accordingly, GDY can act as a metal-free efficient HER electrocatalyst with Pt-like HER activity, but with long-term durability superior to that of Pt/C under the wide pH range (from acidic to basic). To the best of knowledge, such HER performance is better than that of other reported metal-free electrocatalysts and most transition-metal electrocatalysts-even Pt-based ones.

The past decades have witnessed a rapid expansion in investigations of two-dimensional (2D) monoelemental materials (Xenes), which are promising materials in various fields, including applications in optoelectronic devices, biomedicine, catalysis, and energy storage. Apart from graphene and phosphorene, recently emerging 2D Xenes, specifically graphdiyne, borophene, arsenene, antimonene, bismuthene, and tellurene, have attracted considerable interest due to their unique optical, electrical, and catalytic properties, endowing them a broader range of intriguing applications. In this review, the structures and properties of these emerging Xenes are summarized based on theoretical and experimental results. The synthetic approaches for their fabrication, mainly bottom-up and top-down, are presented. Surface modification strategies are also shown. The wide applications of these emerging Xenes in nonlinear optical devices, optoelectronics, catalysis, biomedicine, and energy application are further discussed. Finally, this review concludes with an assessment of the current status, a description of existing scientific and application challenges, and a discussion of possible directions to advance this fertile field.

Abstract
The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic carbonates under ambient temperatures and pressures with high conversion and selectivity still faces a great challenge. The zerovalent atomic catalysts (ACs), featuring accurate structure and valence states, provide a new and accurate model system for catalysis. Herein we developed a general preadsorption-reduction strategy to synthesize zerovalent cobalt AC on graphdiyne (Co0/GDY). The Co0/GDY ACs were used for efficient and selective CO2 fixation. We were surprised to find that Co0/GDY ACs reached nearly 100% conversion at 80 °C and 1 atm in CO2 fixation and with a significantly high turnover frequency (TOF) of 3024.8 h-1, which is almost several orders larger than that of benchmarked catalysts. Such high conversion and selectivity represent the advantages of emerging catalysts.

Abstract
There is no doubt that hydrogen energy can play significant role in promoting the development and progress of modern society. The utilization of hydrogen energy has developed rapidly, but it is far from the requirement of human. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop methodologies and technologies for efficient hydrogen production, especially high activity and durable electrocatalysts. Here a bimetallic oxide cluster on heterostructure of vanadium ruthenium oxides/graphdiyne (VRuOx /GDY) is reported. The unique acetylene-rich structure of graphdiyne achieves outstanding characteristics of electrocatalyst: i) controlled preparation of catalysts for achieving multiple-metal clusters; ii) regulation of catalyst composition and morphology for synthesizing high-performance catalysts; iii) highly active and durable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) properties. The optimal porous electrocatalyst (VRu0.027 Ox /GDY) can deliver 10 mA cm-2 at low overpotentials of 13 and 12 mV together with robust long-term stability in alkaline and neutral media, respectively, which are much smaller than Pt/C. The results reveal that the synergism of different components can efficiently facilitate the electron/mass transport properties, reduce the energy barrier, and increase the active site number for high catalytic performances.
