Abstract
It is important and challenging to utilise CO2 and NO3- as a feedstock for electrosynthesis of urea. Herein, we reported a stable 2D metal-organic framework (MOF) Cu-HATNA, possessing planar CuO4 active sites, as an efficient electrocatalyst for coupling CO2 and NO3- into urea, achieving a high yield rate of 1.46 g h-1 gcat-1 with a current density of 44.2 mA cm-1 at -0.6 V vs. RHE. This performance surpasses most of the previously reported catalysts, revealing the great prospects of MOFs in sustainable urea synthesis.

Abstract
It is crucial to achieve continuous production of highly concentrated and pure C2 chemicals through the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) for artificial carbon cycling, yet it has remained unattainable until now. Despite one-pot tandem catalysis (dividing the eCO2RR to C2 into two catalytical reactions of CO2 to CO and CO to C2) offering the potential for significantly enhancing reaction efficiency, its mechanism remains unclear and its performance is unsatisfactory. Herein, we selected different CO2-to-CO catalysts and CO-to-acetate catalysts to construct several tandem catalytic systems for the eCO2RR to acetic acid. Among them, a tandem catalytic system comprising a covalent organic framework (PcNi-DMTP) and a metal-organic framework (MAF-2) as CO2-to-CO and CO-to-acetate catalysts, respectively, exhibited a faradaic efficiency of 51.2% with a current density of 410 mA cm-2 and an ultrahigh acetate yield rate of 2.72 mmol m-2 s-1 under neutral conditions. After electrolysis for 200 h, 1 cm-2 working electrode can continuously produce 20 mM acetic acid aqueous solution with a relative purity of 95+%. Comprehensive studies revealed that the performance of tandem catalysts is influenced not only by the CO supply-demand relationship and electron competition between the two catalytic processes in the one-pot tandem system but also by the performance of the CO-to-C2 catalyst under diluted CO conditions.

Abstract
Integration of CO2 capture capability from simulated flue gas and electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR) active sites into a catalyst is a promising cost-effective strategy for carbon neutrality, but is of great difficulty. Herein, combining the mixed gas breakthrough experiments and eCO2 RR tests, we showed that an Ag12 cluster-based metal-organic framework (1-NH2 , aka Ag12 bpy-NH2 ), simultaneously possessing CO2 capture sites as "CO2 relays" and eCO2 RR active sites, can not only utilize its micropores to efficiently capture CO2 from simulated flue gas (CO2 : N2 =15 : 85, at 298 K), but also catalyze eCO2 RR of the adsorbed CO2 into CO with an ultra-high CO2 conversion of 60 %. More importantly, its eCO2 RR performance (a Faradaic efficiency (CO) of 96 % with a commercial current density of 120 mA cm-2 at a very low cell voltage of -2.3 V for 300 hours and the full-cell energy conversion efficiency of 56 %) under simulated flue gas atmosphere is close to that under 100 % CO2 atmosphere, and higher than those of all reported catalysts at higher potentials under 100 % CO2 atmosphere. This work bridges the gap between CO2 enrichment/capture and eCO2 RR.

Abstract
The electroreduction of CO2 into value-added liquid fuels holds great promise for addressing global environmental and energy challenges. However, achieving highly selective yielding of multi-carbon oxygenates through the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) is a formidable task, primarily due to the sluggish asymmetric C-C coupling reaction. In this study, a novel metal-organic framework (CuSn-HAB) with unprecedented heterometallic Sn···Cu dual sites (namely, a pair of SnN2O2 and CuN4 sites bridged by μ-N atoms) was designed to overcome this limitation. CuSn-HAB demonstrated an impressive Faradic efficiency (FE) of 56(2)% for eCO2RR to alcohols, achieving a current density of 68 mA cm-2 at a low potential of -0.57 V (vs RHE). Notably, no significant degradation was observed over a continuous 35 h operation at the specified current density. Mechanistic investigations revealed that, in comparison to the copper site, the SnN2O2 site exhibits a higher affinity for oxygen atoms. This enhanced affinity plays a pivotal role in facilitating the generation of the key intermediate *OCH2. Consequently, compared to homometallic Cu···Cu dual sites (generally yielding ethylene product), the heterometallic dual sites were proved to be more thermodynamically favorable for the asymmetric C-C coupling between *CO and *OCH2, leading to the formation of the key intermediate *CO-*OCH2, which is favorable for yielding ethanol product.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO to value-added products, especially C2 products, provides a potential approach to achieve carbon neutrality and overcome the energy crisis. Herein, we report a metal-azolate framework (CuBpz) with dicopper active sites as an electrocatalyst for the electrochemical CO reduction reaction (eCORR). As a result, CuBpz achieved an impressive faradaic efficiency (FE) of 47.8% for yielding acetate with a current density of -200 mA cm-2, while no obvious degradation was observed over 60 hours of continuous operation at a current density of -200 mA cm-2. Mechanism studies revealed that the dicopper site can promote C-C coupling between two C1 intermediates, thereby being conducive to the generation of the key *CH2COOH intermediate.

Abstract
Solvent effect plays an important role in catalytic reaction, but there is little research and attention on it in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR). Herein, we report a stable covalent-organic framework (denoted as PcNi-im) with imidazole groups as a new electrocatalyst for eCO2 RR to CO. Interestingly, compared with neutral conditions, PcNi-im not only showed high Faraday efficiency of CO product (≈100 %) under acidic conditions (pH ≈ 1), but also the partial current density was increased from 258 to 320 mA cm-2 . No obvious degradation was observed over 10 hours of continuous operation at the current density of 250 mA cm-2 . The mechanism study shows that the imidazole group on the framework can be protonated to form an imidazole cation in acidic media, hence reducing the surface work function and charge density of the active metal center. As a result, CO poisoning effect is weakened and the key intermediate *COOH is also stabilized, thus accelerating the catalytic reaction rate.

Abstract
It is challenging and important to achieve high performance for an electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) to yield CH4 under neutral conditions. So far, most of the reported active sites for eCO2RR to yield CH4 are single metal sites; the performances are far below the commercial requirements. Herein, we reported a nanosheet metal-organic layer in single-layer, namely, [Cu2(obpy)2] (Cuobpy-SL, Hobpy = 1H-[2,2']bipyridinyl-6-one), possessing dicopper(I) sites for eCO2RR to yield CH4 in a neutral aqueous solution. Detailed examination of Cuobpy-SL revealed high performance for CH4 production with a faradic efficiency of 82(1)% and a current density of ∼90 mA cm-2 at -1.4 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). No obvious degradation was observed over 100 h of continuous operation, representing a remarkable performance to date. Mechanism studies showed that compared with the conventional single-copper sites and completely exposed dicopper(I) sites, the dicopper(I) sites in the confined space formed by the molecular stacking have a strong affinity to key C1 intermediates such as *CO, *CHO, and *CH2O to facilitate the CH4 production, yet inhibiting C-C coupling.

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) under acidic conditions has become a promising way to achieve high CO2 utilization because of the inhibition of undesirable carbonate formation that typically occurs under neutral and alkaline conditions. Herein, unprecedented and highly active ditin(IV) sites were integrated into the nanopores of a metal-organic framework, namely NU-1000-Sn, by a "ship-in-a-bottle" strategy. NU-1000-Sn delivers nearly 100% formic acid Faradaic efficiency at an industry current density of 260 mA cm-2 with a high single-pass CO2 utilization of 95% in an acidic solution (pH = 1.67). No obvious degradation was observed over 15 hours of continuous operation at the current density of 260 mA cm-2, representing the remarkable eCO2RR performance in acidic electrolyte to date. The mechanism study shows that both oxygen atoms of the key intermediate *HCOO can coordinate to the two adjacent Sn atoms in a ditin(IV) site simultaneously. Such bridging coordination is conducive to the hydrogenation of CO2, thus leading to high performance.

Abstract
Herein, a stable metal-azolate framework with cyclic trinickel(II) clusters, namely [Ni3(μ3-O)(BTPP)(OH)(H2O)2] (Ni-BTPP, H3BTPP = 1,3,5-tris((1H-pyrazol-4-yl)phenylene)benzene), achieved a current density of 50 mA cm-2 at a cell voltage of 1.8 V in 1.0 M KOH solution, while the current density of 20%Pt/C@NF||IrO2@NF is just 35.8 mA cm-2 at 2.0 V under the same condition. Moreover, no obvious degradation was observed over 12 hours of continuous operation at a large current density of 50 mA cm-2. Theoretical calculations revealed that the μ3-O atom in the cyclic trinickel(II) cluster serves as hydrogen-bonding acceptor to facilitate the dissociation of a H2O molecule adsorbed on the adjacent Ni(II) ion, giving a lower energy barrier of H2O dissociation compared with Pt/C; meanwhile, the μ3-O atom can also participate in the water oxidation reaction to couple with the adjacent *OH adsorbed on Ni(II) ion, providing a low-energy coupling pathway, thus Ni-BTPP achieves high performance for the overall water splitting.

Abstract
The development of efficient electrocatalysts with non-copper metal sites for electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions (eCO2 RR) to hydrocarbons and oxygenates is highly desirable, but still a great challenge. Herein, a stable metal-organic framework (DMA)4 [Sn2 (THO)2 ] (Sn-THO, THO6- = triphenylene-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis(olate), DMA = dimethylammonium) with isolated and distorted octahedral SnO6 2- active sites is reported as an electrocatalyst for eCO2 RR, showing an exceptional performance for eCO2 RR to the CH4 product rather than the common products formate and CO for reported Sn-based catalysts. The partial current density of CH4 reaches a high value of 34.5 mA cm-2 , surpassing most reported copper-based and all non-Cu metal-based catalysts. Our experimental and theoretical results revealed that the isolated SnO6 2- active site favors the formation of key *OCOH species to produce CH4 and can greatly inhibit the formation of *OCHO and *COOH species to produce *HCOOH and *CO, respectively.

Abstract
It is a very important but still challenging task to develop bifunctional electrocatalysts for highly efficient CO2 overall splitting. Herein, we report a stable metal-organic framework (denoted as PcNi-Co-O), composed of (2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octahydroxyphthalocyaninato)nickel(II) (PcNi-(O-)8) ligands and the planar CoO4 nodes, for CO2 overall splitting. When working as both cathode and anode catalysts (i.e., PcNi-Co-O||PcNi-Co-O), PcNi-Co-O achieved a commercial-scale current density of 123 mA cm-2 (much higher than the reported values (0.2-12 mA cm-2)) with a Faradic efficiency (CO) of 98% at a low cell voltage of 4.4 V. Mechanism studies suggested the synergistic effects between two active sites, namely, (i) electron transfer from CoO4 to PcNi sites under electric fields, resulting in the raised oxidizability/reducibility of CoO4/PcNi sites, respectively; (ii) the energy-level matching of cathode and anode catalysts can reduce the energy barrier of electron transfer between them and improve the performance of CO2 overall splitting.

Abstract
Since CO2 can be reutilized by using renewable electricity in form of product diversity, electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) is expected to be a burgeoning strategy to tackle environmental problems and the energy crisis. Nevertheless, owing to the limited selectivity and reaction efficiency for a single component product, ECR is still far from a large-scale application. Therefore, designing high performance electrocatalysts is the key objective in CO2 conversion and utilization. Unlike most other types of electrocatalysts, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have clear, designable, and tunable catalytic active sites and chemical microenvironments, which are highly conducive to establish a clear structure-performance relationship and guide the further design of high-performance electrocatalysts. This Outlook concisely and critically discusses the rational design strategies of MOF catalysts for ECR in terms of reaction selectivity, current density, and catalyst stability, and outlines the prospects for the development of MOF electrocatalysts and industrial applications. In the future, more efforts should be devoted to designing MOF structures with high stability and electronic conductivity besides high activity and selectivity, as well as to develop efficient electrolytic devices suitable for MOF catalysts.

Abstract
It is of great significance for constructing electrocatalysts with accurate structures and compositions to pinpoint the active sites, thereby improving the C 2 products (C 2 H 4 , C 2 H 5 OH and CH 3 COOH) selectivity during electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction raction. Here, we report a tetracopper(I) cluster-based metal-organic framework that exhibits long-term stability and remarkable performance for electroreduction CO 2 towards C 2 products in an H-type cell with a maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 72%, and delivers a current density of 350 mA cm -2 with a FE(C 2 ) up to 46% in a flow cell device, outperforming most of the Cu-based electrocatalysts such as Cu derivatives and Cu nanostructured materials. Importantly, no obvious degradation was observed at 350 mA cm -2 over 20 hours of continuous operation, strengthening the practicability. In-situ infrared spectroscopy analysis showed the cooperative effect of adjacent Cu(I) ions in tetracopper(I) cluster may promote the C-C coupling to generate C 2 products.

Abstract
Crystalline porous materials sustained by supramolecular interactions (e.g., π-π stacking interactions) are a type of molecular crystals showing considerable stability, but their applications are rarely reported due to the high difficulty of their construction. Herein, a stable π-π stacking framework formed by a trinuclear copper(I) compound [Cu3(HBtz)3(Btz)Cl2] (CuBtz, HBtz = benzotriazole) with pyrazolate-bridged dicopper(I) sites is reported and employed for electrochemical CO2 reduction, showing an impressive performance of 73.7 ± 2.8% Faradaic efficiency for C2+ products [i.e., ethylene (44%), ethanol (21%), acetate (4.7%), and propanol (4%)] with a current density of 7.9 mA cm-2 at the potential of -1.3 V versus RHE in an H-type cell and a Faradic efficiency (61.6%) of C2+ products with a current density of ≈1 A cm-2 and a reaction rate of 5639 μmol m-2 s-1 at the potential of -1.6 V versus RHE in a flow cell device, representing an impressive performance reported to date. In-situ infrared spectroscopy, density functional theory calculations, and control experiments revealed that the uncoordinated nitrogen atoms of benzotriazolates in the immediate vicinity can act as proton relays and cooperate with the dicopper(I) site to promote the hydrogenation process of the *CO intermediate and the C-C coupling, resulting in the highly selective electroreduction of CO2 to C2+ products.

Abstract
Artificial photocatalytic CO2 reduction, using water as the reductant, is challenging mainly because it is difficult for multiple functional units to cooperate efficiently. Here, we show that the classic photosensitive and H2O-oxidizing ruthenium bipyridyl units and CO2-reducing cobalt imidazolate units can be incorporated into a metal-organic framework using a classic organic ligand, imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline. Under visible light without additional sacrificial agents and photosensitizers, the overall conversion of CO2 and H2O to CO and O2 was achieved by the multifunctional photocatalyst in the CH3CN/H2O mixed solvent with a high CO production rate of 11.2 μmol g-1 h-1 and CO selectivity of ca. 100%. Thanks to its ultramicroporous structure with moderately strong CO2 adsorption ability, the photocatalyst also exhibited high performances with CO/CH4 production rates of 5.15/0.62 and 4.26/0.20 μmol g-1 h-1 in the gas phase with pure and even diluted CO2, respectively. Photoluminescence emission spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical tests confirmed that the photosensitive and catalytic units cooperated well to give suitable photocatalytic redox potentials and fast electron-hole separation.

Abstract
Reducing CO2 into fuels via photochemical reactions relies on highly efficient photocatalytic systems. Herein, we report a new and efficient photocatalytic system for CO2 reduction. Driven by electrostatic attraction, an anionic metal-organic framework Cu-HHTP (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) as host and a cationic photosensitizer [Ru(phen)3]2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) as guest were self-assembled into a photocatalytic system Ru@Cu-HHTP, which showed high activity for photocatalytic CO2 reduction under laboratory light source (CO production rate of 130(5) mmol g-1 h-1, selectivity of 92.9%) or natural sunlight (CO production rate of 69.5 mmol g-1 h-1, selectivity of 91.3%), representing the remarkable photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. More importantly, the photosensitizer [Ru(phen)3]2+ in Ru@Cu-HHTP is only about 1/500 in quantity reported in the literature. Theoretical calculations and control experiments suggested that the assembly of the catalysts and photosensitizers via electrostatic attraction interactions can provide a better charge transfer efficiency, resulting in high performance for photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Porous molecular crystals sustained by hydrogen bonds and/or weaker connections are an intriguing type of adsorbents, but they rarely demonstrate efficient adsorptive separation because of poor structural robustness and tailorability. Herein, we report a porous molecular crystal based on hydrogen-bonded cyclic dinuclear AgI complex, which exhibits exceptional hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 134°, and high chemical stability in water at pH 2-13. The seemingly rigid adsorbent shows a pore-opening or nonporous-to-porous type butane adsorption isotherm and complete exclusion of isobutane, indicating potential molecular sieving. Quantitative column breakthrough experiments show slight co-adsorption of isobutane with an experimental butane/isobutane selectivity of 23, and isobutane can be purified more efficiently than for butane. In situ powder/single-crystal X-ray diffraction and computational simulations reveal that a trivial guest-induced structural transformation plays a critical role.

Abstract
Extensive efforts have been devoted to developing efficient and durable catalysts for water oxidation. Herein, we report a highly stable metal-organic framework that shows high catalytic activity and durability for electrically driven (an overpotential of 430 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in neutral aqueous solution) and photodriven (a turnover frequency of 16 s-1 and 12 000 cycles) water oxidation, representing the best catalyst for water oxidation reported to date. Computational simulation and isotope tracing experiments showed that the μ4-OH group of the {Co8(μ4-OH)6} unit participates in the water oxidation reaction to offer an oxygen vacancy site with near-optimal OH- adsorption energy.

Abstract
Efficient adsorptive separation of propylene/propane (C3 H6 /C3 H8 ) is highly desired and challenging. Known strategies focus on either the thermodynamic or the kinetic mechanism. Here, we report an interesting reactivity of a metal-organic framework that improves thermodynamic and kinetic adsorption selectivity simultaneously. When the metal-organic framework is heated under oxygen flow, half of the soft methylene bridges of the organic ligands are selectively oxidized to form the more polar and rigid carbonyl bridges. Mixture breakthrough experiments showed drastic increase of C3 H6 /C3 H8 selectivity from 1.5 to 15. For comparison, the C3 H6 /C3 H8 selectivities of the best-performing metal-organic frameworks Co-MOF-74 and KAUST-7 were experimentally determined to be 6.5 and 12, respectively. Gas adsorption isotherms/kinetics, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and computational simulations revealed that the oxidation gives additional guest recognition sites, which improve thermodynamic selectivity, and reduces the framework flexibility, which generate kinetic selectivity.

Abstract
Searching for an economical and efficient water splitting electrocatalyst is still a huge challenge for hydrogen production. This work reports one-step synthesis of hierarchical porous prism arrays (HPPAs) composed of Ni-NiO nanoparticles embedding uniformly in graphite carbon (Ni-NiO/C HPPAs), which is derived from metal-organic framework (CPO-27-Ni) prism arrays grown on nickel foam (NF). Remarkable features of the prism arrays, synergistic effect of Ni-NiO/C, porous graphite carbon, high conductive NF, and good contact between catalyst and current collector result in excellent electrocatalytic performance of Ni-NiO/C HPPAs@NF. Ni-NiO/C HPPAs@NF shows a small overpotential of ∼49.48 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2, low Tafel slope of 74 mV dec-1 and robust stability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media. Especially, the overpotential for HER of Ni-NiO/C HPPAs@NF is only ∼132 mV at the current density of 185 mA cm-2, almost the same as the value from the Pt/C. Furthermore, for oxygen evolution reaction in basic media, Ni-NiO/C HPPAs@NF shows better catalytic activity, lower Tafel slope and higher durability than precious IrO2. The above finding offers an effective strategy to design the bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
Conventional adsorbents preferentially adsorb the small, high-polarity, and unsaturated 1,3-butadiene molecule over the other C4 hydrocarbons from which it must be separated. We show from single-crystal x-ray diffraction and computational simulation that a hydrophilic metal-organic framework, [Zn2(btm)2], where H2btm is bis(5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methane, has quasi-discrete pores that can induce conformational changes in the flexible guest molecules, weakening 1,3-butadiene adsorption through a large bending energy penalty. In a breakthrough operation at ambient temperature and pressure, this guest conformation-controlling adsorbent eluted 1,3-butadiene first, then butane, butene, and isobutene. Thus, 1,3-butadiene can be efficiently purified (≥99.5%) while avoiding high-temperature conditions that can lead to its undesirable polymerization.

Abstract
Pore size is one of the most important parameters of adsorbents, and mesoporous materials have received intense attention for large guests. Here, a series of mesoporous coordination polymers underlying a new framework prototype for fast expansion of pore size is reported and the profound effect of pore size on adsorption heat transformation is demonstrated. Three isostructural honeycomb-like frameworks are designed and synthesized by combining ditopic linear metal oxalate chains and triangular tris-pyridine ligands. Changing the ligand bridging length from 5.5 to 8.6 and 9.9 Å gives rise to effective pore diameter from 20 to 33 and 37 Å, surface area from 2096 to 2630 and 2749 m2 g-1 , and pore volume from 1.19 to 1.93 and 2.36 cm3 g-1 , respectively. By virtue of the unique and tunable isotherm shape of mesopores, exceptionally large working capacity up to 1.19 g g-1 or 0.38 g cm-3 for adsorption heat transformation can be achieved using R-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluroethane) as a working fluid.

Abstract
To make a porous material with high magnetic ordering temperature is challenging because the low density of the material is adverse to the dense magnetic moment, a prerequisite to high-performance magnets. Herein, we report a hollow magnetic metal-organic framework (MMOF) [Co3(bpdc)3(tpt)0.66] 1 (H2bpdc = 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid) with a Langmuir surface area of 1118 m2/g and spin-canted long-range magnetic ordering up to 22 K. Such a high performance is owing to the unique antiferromagnetic Kagomé lattice made of ferromagnetic Co3 clusters and conjugated 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridinyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) ligands, which is closely coupled with each other via double-interpenetration of the porous networks. Moreover, a parameter defined as the product of magnetic ordering/blocking temperature and the surface area for measuring the performance of porous molecular magnets is proposed.

Abstract
A lanthanide cluster, PCC-72, which is the second largest, with 72 Dy(III) ions assembled into an unprecedented tubular structure, is synthesized. Remarkably, PCC-72 exhibits superionic proton conductivity (>10-4 S cm-1 ) under both ambient (with relative humidity RH < 75%) and hot (T > 90 °C, RH = 95%) conditions. Moreover, slow magnetic relaxation is observed, making PCC-72 the largest Dy(III) cluster that is a single-molecule magnet.

Abstract
Hydrazine can be grafted in CPO-27-Mg/MOF-74-Mg to provide an ultrahigh concentration of amine groups on the pore surface, giving an exceptionally high CO2 capture performance, especially at extremely low pressures.
Tremendous efforts have been devoted to increasing the CO2 capture performance of porous materials, especially for low CO2 concentration environments. Here, we report that hydrazine can be used as a diamine short enough to functionalize the small-pore metal–organic framework [Mg2(dobdc)] (H4dobdc = 2,5-dihydroxyl-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid). By virtue of the ultrahigh concentration of free amine groups (6.01 mmol g–1 or 7.08 mmol cm–3) capable of reversible carbamic acid formation, the new material [Mg2(dobdc)(N2H4)1.8] achieves a series of new records for CO2 capture, such as single-component isotherm uptakes of 3.89 mmol g–1 or 4.58 mmol cm–3 at the atmospheric CO2 concentration of 0.4 mbar at 298 K and 1.04 mmol g–1 or 1.22 mmol cm–3 at 328 K, as well as more than a 4.2 mmol g–1 or 4.9 mmol cm–3 adsorption/desorption working capacity under dynamic mixed-gas conditions with CO2 concentrations similar to those in flue gases and ambient air.
