Abstract
Metalloporphyrins and metallophthalocyanines emerge as popular building blocks to develop covalent organic nanosheets (CONs) for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, existing CONs predominantly yield CO, posing a challenge in achieving efficient methanol production through multielectron reduction. Here, ultrathin, cationic, and cobalt-phthalocyanine-based CONs (iminium-CONs) are reported for electrochemical CO2-to-CH3OH conversion. The integration of quaternary iminium groups enables the formation of ultrathin morphology with uniformly anchored cobalt active sites, which are pivotal for facilitating rapid multielectron transfer. Moreover, the cationic iminium-CONs exhibit a lower activity for hydrogen evolution side reaction. Consequently, iminium-CONs manifest significantly enhanced selectivity for methanol production, as evidenced by a remarkable 711% and 270% improvement in methanol partial current density (jCH3OH) compared to pristine CoTAPc and neutral imine-CONs, respectively. Under optimized conditions, iminium-CONs deliver a high jCH3OH of 91.7 mA cm-2 at -0.78 V in a flow cell. Further, iminium-CONs achieve a global methanol Faradaic efficiency (FECH3OH) of 54% in a tandem device. Thanks to the single-site feature, the methanol is produced without the concurrent generation of other liquid byproducts. This work underscores the potential of cationic covalent organic nanosheets as a compelling platform for electrochemical six-electron reduction of CO2 to methanol.

Abstract
Single-metal atomic sites and vacancies can accelerate the transfer of photogenerated electrons and enhance photocatalytic performance in photocatalysis. In this study, a series of nickel hydroxide nanoboards (Ni(OH)x NBs) with different loadings of single-atomic Ru sites (w-SA-Ru/Ni(OH)x) were synthesized via a photoreduction strategy. In such catalysts, single-atomic Ru sites are anchored to the vacancies surrounding the pits. Notably, the SA-Ru/Ni(OH)x with 0.60 wt % Ru loading (0.60-SA-Ru/Ni(OH)x) exhibits the highest catalytic performance (27.6 mmol g-1 h-1) during the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 (CO2RR). Either superfluous (0.64 wt %, 18.9 mmol g-1 h-1; 3.35 wt %, 9.4 mmol-1 h-1) or scarce (0.06 wt %, 15.8 mmol g-1 h-1; 0.29 wt %, 21.95 mmol g-1 h-1; 0.58 wt %, 23.4 mmol g-1 h-1) of Ru sites have negative effect on its catalytic properties. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with experimental results revealed that CO2 can be adsorbed in the pits; single-atomic Ru sites can help with the conversion of as-adsorbed CO2 and lower the energy of *COOH formation accelerating the reaction; the excessive single-atomic Ru sites occupy vacancies that retard the completion of CO2RR.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) toward value-added chemicals/fuels has offered a sustainable strategy to achieve a carbon-neutral energy cycle. However, it remains a great challenge to controllably and precisely regulate the coordination environment of active sites in catalysts for efficient generation of targeted products, especially the multicarbon (C2+) products. Herein we report the coordination environment engineering of metal centers in coordination polymers for efficient electroreduction of CO2 to C2+ products under neutral conditions. Significantly, the Cu coordination polymer with Cu-N2S2 coordination configuration (Cu-N-S) demonstrates superior Faradaic efficiencies of 61.2% and 82.2% for ethylene and C2+ products, respectively, compared to the selective formic acid generation on an analogous polymer with the Cu-I2S2 coordination mode (Cu-I-S). In situ studies reveal the balanced formation of atop and bridge *CO intermediates on Cu-N-S, promoting C-C coupling for C2+ production. Theoretical calculations suggest that coordination environment engineering can induce electronic modulations in Cu active sites, where the d-band center of Cu is upshifted in Cu-N-S with stronger selectivity to the C2+ products. Consequently, Cu-N-S displays a stronger reaction trend toward the generation of C2+ products, while Cu-I-S favors the formation of formic acid due to the suppression of C-C couplings for C2+ pathways with large energy barriers.

Abstract
Although metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted more attention for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), obtaining multicarbon products with a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) remains challenging, especially under neutral conditions. Here, we report the controlled synthesis of stable Cu(I) 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole framework (Cu-MMT) nanostructures with different facets by rationally modulating the reaction solvents. Significantly, Cu-MMT nanostructures with (001) facets are acquired using isopropanol as a solvent, which favor multicarbon production with an FE of 73.75% and a multicarbon:single-carbon ratio of 3.93 for CO2RR in a neutral electrolyte. In sharp contrast, Cu-MMT nanostructures with (100) facets are obtained utilizing water, promoting single-carbon generation with an FE of 63.98% and a multicarbon: single-carbon ratio of only 0.18. Furthermore, this method can be extended to other Cu-MMT nanostructures with different facets in tuning the CO2 reduction selectivity. This work opens up new opportunities for the highly selective and efficient CO2 electroreduction to multicarbon products on MOFs via facet engineering.

Abstract
Dual-engineering involved of grain boundaries (GBs) and oxygen vacancies (VO ) efficiently engineers the material's catalytic performance by simultaneously introducing favorable electronic and chemical properties. Herein, a novel SnO2 nanoplate is reported with simultaneous oxygen vacancies and abundant grain boundaries (V,G-SnOx /C) for promoting the highly selective conversion of CO2 to value-added formic acid. Attributing to the synergistic effect of employed dual-engineering, the V,G-SnOx /C displays highly catalytic selectivity with a maximum Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 87% for HCOOH production at -1.2 V versus RHE and FEs > 95% for all C1 products (CO and HCOOH) within all applied potential range, outperforming current state-of-the-art electrodes and the amorphous SnOx /C. Theoretical calculations combined with advanced characterizations revealed that GB induces the formation of electron-enriched Sn site, which strengthens the adsorption of *HCOO intermediate. While GBs and VO synergistically lower the reaction energy barrier, thus dramatically enhancing the intrinsic activity and selectivity toward HCOOH.

Abstract
It is generally assumed that the more metal atoms in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) contribute to higher activity toward electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) and hindered us in exploring the correlation between the density of catalytic sites and catalytic performances. Herein, we have constructed quantitative density of catalytic sites in multiple COFs for CO2RR, in which the contents of phthalocyanine (H2Pc) and nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) units were preciously controlled. With a molar ratio of 1/1 for the H2Pc and NiPc units in COFs, the catalyst achieved the highest selectivity with a carbon monoxide Faradaic efficiency (FECO) of 95.37% and activity with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 4713.53 h-1. In the multiple H2Pc/NiPc-COFs, the electron-donating features of the H2Pc units provide electron transport to the NiPc centers and thus improved the binding ability of CO2 and intermediates on the NiPc units. The theoretical calculation further confirmed that the H2Pc units donated their electrons to the NiPc units in the frameworks, enhanced the electron density of the Ni sites, and improved the binding ability with Lewis acidic CO2 molecules, thereby boosting the CO2RR performance. This study provides us with new insight into the design of highly active catalysts in electrocatalytic systems.

Abstract
Two-dimensional low-melting-point (LMP) metal nanocrystals are attracting increasing attention with broad and irreplaceable applications due to their unique surface and topological structures. However, the chemical synthesis, especially the fine control over the nucleation (reduction) and growth (crystallization), of such LMP metal nanocrystals remains elusive as limited by the challenges of low standard redox potential, low melting point, poor crystalline symmetry, etc. Here, a controllable reduction-melting-crystallization (RMC) protocol to synthesize free-standing and surfactant-free bismuth nanocrystals with tunable dimensions, morphologies, and surface structures is presented. Especially, ultrathin bismuth nanosheets with flat or jagged surfaces/edges can be prepared with high selectivity. The jagged bismuth nanosheets, with abundant surface steps and defects, exhibit boosted electrocatalytic CO2 reduction performances in acidic, neutral, and alkaline aqueous solutions, achieving the maximum selectivity of near unity at the current density of 210 mA cm-2 for formate evolution under ambient conditions. This work creates the RMC pathway for the synthesis of free-standing two-dimensional LMP metal nanomaterials and may find broader applicability in more interdisciplinary applications.

Abstract
Dual-metal-site catalysts (DMSCs) are increasingly important catalysts in the field of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) in recent years. However, rapid screening of suitable metal combinations of DMSCs remains a huge challenge. Herein, we constructed an active learning (AL) framework to study CO2RR to HCOOH. This AL framework turned out a success in the accurate prediction of 282 DMSCs for CO2RR through interactive learning between users and machine learning (ML) models. Among the 42 DMSCs calculated in three iteration loops of AL, 29 DMSCs were obtained, where the screening success rate was as high as 70%. Furthermore, we found five experimentally unexplored DMSCs that exhibited better CO2RR activity and selectivity than pure Bi. Low prediction errors on other DMSCs show that the AL model possessed outstanding universality. The results prove the excellent potential of the AL method and provide guidance on the design of high-performance electrocatalysts for CO2RR.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as well-known catalysts in renewable energy storage and conversion systems. Several supports have been developed for stabilizing single-atom catalytic sites, e.g., organic-, metal-, and carbonaceous matrices. Noticeably, the metal species and their local atomic coordination environments have a strong influence on the electrocatalytic capabilities of metal atom active centers. In particular, asymmetric atom electrocatalysts exhibit unique properties and an unexpected carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) performance different from those of traditional metal-N4 sites. This review summarizes the recent development of asymmetric atom sites for the CO2RR with emphasis on the coordination structure regulation strategies and their effects on CO2RR performance. Ultimately, several scientific possibilities are proffered with the aim of further expanding and deepening the advancement of asymmetric atom electrocatalysts for the CO2RR.

Abstract
The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) has been studied on Ag, Pd, Ag@Pd1-2L nanocubes using a combination of in situ characterization and density functional theory calculations. By manipulating the deposition and diffusion rates of Pd atoms on Ag nanocubes, Ag@Pd core-shell nanocubes with a shell thickness of 1-2 atomic layers have been successfully synthesized for CO2RR. Pd nanocubes produce CO with high selectivity due to the transformation of Pd to Pd hydride (PdH) during CO2RR. In contrast, PdH formation becomes more difficult in Ag@Pd1-2L core-shell nanocubes, which inhibits CO production from the *HOCO intermediate and thus tunes the reaction pathway toward HCOOH. Ag nanocubes exhibit high selectivity toward H2, and there is no phase transition during CO2RR. The results demonstrate that the CO2RR reaction pathways can be manipulated through engineering the surface structure of Pd-based catalysts by allowing or preventing the formation of PdH.

Abstract
Deficiencies in understanding the local environment of active sites and limited synthetic skills challenge the delivery of industrially-relevant current densities with low overpotentials and high selectivity for CO2 reduction. Here, a transient laser induction of metal salts can stimulate extreme conditions and rapid kinetics to produce defect-rich indium nanoparticles (L-In) is reported. Atomic-resolution microscopy and X-ray absorption disclose the highly defective and undercoordinated local environment in L-In. In a flow cell, L-In shows a very small onset overpotential of ≈92 mV and delivers a current density of ≈360 mA cm-2 with a formate Faradaic efficiency of 98% at a low potential of -0.62 V versus RHE. The formation rate of formate reaches up to 6364.4 µmol h-1mgIn-1$mg_{{\rm{In}}}^{--1}$ , which is nearly 39 folds higher than that of commercial In (160.7 µmol h-1mgIn-1$mg_{{\rm{In}}}^{--1}$ ), outperforming most of the previous results that have been reported under KHCO3 environments. Density function theory calculations suggest that the defects facilitate the formation of *OCHO intermediate and stabilize the *HCOOH while inhibiting hydrogen adsorption. This study suggests that transient solid-state laser induction provides a facile and cost-effective approach to form ligand-free and defect-rich materials with tailored activities.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) holds significant potential to promote carbon neutrality. However, the selectivity toward multicarbon products in CO2 RR is still too low to meet practical applications. Here the authors report the delicate synthesis of three kinds of Ag-Cu Janus nanostructures with {100} facets (JNS-100) for highly selective tandem electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to multicarbon products. By controlling the surfactant and reduction kinetics of Cu precursor, the confined growth of Cu with {100} facets on one of the six equal faces of Ag nanocubes is realized. Compared with Cu nanocubes, Ag65 -Cu35 JNS-100 demonstrates much superior selectivity for both ethylene and multicarbon products in CO2 RR at less negative potentials. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the compensating electronic structure and carbon monoxide spillover in Ag65 -Cu35 JNS-100 contribute to the enhanced CO2 RR performance. This study provides an effective strategy to design advanced tandem catalysts toward the extensive application of CO2 RR.

Abstract
The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) provides a sustainable strategy to relieve global warming and achieve carbon neutrality. However, the practical application of CO2 RR is still limited by the poor selectivity and low current density. Here, the surface molecular functionalization of unusual phase metal nanomaterials for high-performance CO2 RR under industry-relevant current density is reported. It is observed that 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole (MMT)-modified 4H/face-centered cubic (fcc) gold (Au) nanorods demonstrate greatly enhanced CO2 RR performance than original oleylamine (OAm)-capped 4H/fcc Au nanorods in both an H-type cell and flow cell. Significantly, MMT-modified 4H/fcc Au nanorods deliver an excellent carbon monoxide selectivity of 95.6% under the industry-relevant current density of 200 mA cm-2 . Density functional theory calculations reveal distinct electronic modulations by surface ligands, in which MMT improves while OAm suppresses the surface electroactivity of 4H/fcc Au nanorods. Furthermore, this method can be extended to various MMT derivatives and conventional fcc Au nanostructures in boosting CO2 RR performance.

Abstract
Designing highly selective and cost-effective electrocatalysts toward electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction is crucial for desirable transformation of greenhouse gas into fuels or high-value chemical products. Here, the authors report intermetallic Cu3 Sn that is in situ formed and seamlessly integrated on self-supported bimodal nanoporous Cu skeleton (Cu3 Sn/Cu) via a spontaneous alloying of Sn and Cu as robust electrocatalyst for selective electroreduction of CO2 to CO. By virtue of Sn atoms strengthening CO adsorption on Cu atoms, the intermetallic Cu3 Sn has an intrinsic activity of ≈10.58 μA cm-2 , more than 80-fold higher than that of monometallic Cu. By virtue of hierarchical bicontinuous nanoporous Cu architecture facilitating electron transfer and CO2 and proton mass transport and offering high specific surface areas for full use of electroactive Cu3 Sn sites, the nanoporous Cu3 Sn/Cu hybrid electrodes produce CO at a low overpotential of 0.09 V, and exhibit high partial current density of ≈15 mA cm-2 geo at overpotential of 0.59 V, along with excellent stability and selectivity of 91.5% Faradaic efficiency. The outstanding electrochemical performance make them attractive alternatives to precious Au- and Ag-based electrocatalysts for building low-cost CO2 electrolyzers to selectively produce CO.

Abstract
In this work, by combining the superiority of polyoxometalates (POMs) and catalytic single-metal site Co of metalloporphyrin, a series of mixed-valence POM-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composites is synthesized by a post-modification method. The electron-transfer property of POM@PCN-222(Co) composite is significantly enhanced owing to the directional electron-transfer from POM to single-metal site Co in PCN-222(Co). In particular, H-POM@PCN-222(Co) gives a high Faradaic efficiency of 96.2% for electroreduction of CO2 into CO and good stability over 10 h. DFT calculations confirm that the directional electron transfer, which accelerates the multi-electron transfer from the electrode to active single-metal site Co, enriches the electron density of the Co center, and ultimately reduces the energy of the rate-determining step, thus increasing the catalytic activity of CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). This work therefore suggests some new insight for the design of efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 RR.

Abstract
Single atom catalysts possess attractive electrocatalytic activities for various chemical reactions owing to their favorable geometric and electronic structures compared to the bulk counterparts. Herein, we demonstrate an efficient approach to producing single atom copper immobilized MXene for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to methanol via selective etching of hybrid A layers (Al and Cu) in quaternary MAX phases (Ti3(Al1-xCux)C2) due to the different saturated vapor pressures of Al- and Cu-containing products. After selective etching of Al in the hybrid A layers, Cu atoms are well-preserved and simultaneously immobilized onto the resultant MXene with dominant surface functional group (Clx) on the outmost Ti layers (denoted as Ti3C2Clx) via Cu-O bonds. Consequently, the as-prepared single atom Cu catalyst exhibits a high Faradaic efficiency value of 59.1% to produce CH3OH and shows good electrocatalytic stability. On the basis of synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis and density functional theory calculations, the single atom Cu with unsaturated electronic structure (Cuδ+, 0 < δ < 2) delivers a low energy barrier for the rate-determining step (conversion of HCOOH* to absorbed CHO* intermediate), which is responsible for the efficient electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to CH3OH.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with atomically dispersed metal sites in nitrogen-doped carbon matrices (M-N/C) have been identified as promising candidates for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, recent studies aiming at economic viability have been inhibited by the low faradaic efficiency (FE) and instability under high current density. Herein, we report a series of SACs derived from cyano-substituted metal phthalocyanines (MePc-CN) in ZIFs (denoted as Me-SACs (Pc)). These phthalocyanine molecules enable the efficient construction of SACs, affording higher metal loading and less variation when compared with their counterparts from metal nitrates (denoted as Me-SACs (S)). Thus, Me-SACs (Pc) exhibit higher activities and selectivities than Me-SACs (S) in H-cell measurements. In gas-diffusion electrode (GDE) setups, the unstable Fe-SAC (Pc) shows only a 50% FE of CO (FEco) at -100 mA cm-2. In contrast, Ni-SAC (Pc) exhibits a higher FEco of >96% at current densities from -10 to -200 mA cm-2 and can stably operate for over 16 h at -200 mA cm-2. The performances of Ni-SAC (Pc) are comparable to those of precious metal catalysts and the best SACs reported so far, representing a promising candidate for practical electrolyzer devices for CO2RR.

Abstract
Ultrathin 2D materials possess unique properties that translate to enhanced efficiency as electrocatalysts, stimulating research toward methodologies that support their preparation. Herein, a two-step strategy is reported that involves the preparation of the new boron imidazolate framework (BIF-73) which is subsequently utilized as a precursor to yield the crystalline 2D nanosheet material (Fe@BIF-73-NS) via post-synthetic modification. This new electrocatalytic material stabilizes ultra-small (Fe2 O3 ) fragments resulting in an excellent electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER: lower overpotential with 291 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 ) and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (faradaic efficiency of CO reaching 88.6% at -1.8 V vs Ag/AgCl) without the need for noble metals. Additionally, theoretical calculations and microscopy reveal that the superior OER performance can be attributed to the increased exposure of binding sites within the material to which the catalytically active Fe3+ centers are bound through a post-synthetic modification procedure. A red-shift of the Fermi level around the valence band is observed and is proposed to be a result of the aforementioned interactions. This work opens an avenue toward the development of 2D functional metal organic framework nanosheets for energy conversion applications.

Abstract
The electroreduction of small molecules to high value-added chemicals is considered as a promising way toward the capture and utilization of atmospheric small molecules. Discovering cheap and efficient electrocatalysts with simultaneously high activity, selectivity, durability, and even universality is desirable yet challenging. Herein, it is demonstrated that Bi2 Te3 nanoplates (NPs), cheap and noble-metal-free electrocatalysts, can be adopted as highly universal and robust electrocatalysts, which can efficiently reduce small molecules (O2 , CO2 , and N2 ) into targeted products simultaneously. They can achieve excellent activity, selectivity and durability for the oxygen reduction reaction with almost 100% H2 O2 selectivity, the CO2 reduction reaction with up to 90% Faradaic efficiency (FE) of HCOOH, and the nitrogen reduction reaction with 7.9% FE of NH3 . After electrochemical activation, an obvious Te dissolution happens on the Bi2 Te3 NPs, creating lots of Te vacancies in the activated Bi2 Te3 NPs. Theoretical calculations reveal that the Te vacancies can modulate the electronic structures of Bi and Te. Such a highly electroactive surface with a strong preference in supplying electrons for the universal reduction reactions improves the electrocatalytic performance of Bi2 Te3 . The work demonstrates a new class of cheap and versatile catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of small molecules with potential practical applications.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) show great promise for electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CRR), but the low density of active sites and the poor electrical conduction and mass transport of the single-atom electrode greatly limit their performance. Herein, we prepared a nickel single-atom electrode consisting of isolated, high-density and low-valent nickel(I) sites anchored on a self-standing N-doped carbon nanotube array with nickel-copper alloy encapsulation on a carbon-fiber paper. The combination of single-atom nickel(I) sites and self-standing array structure gives rise to an excellent electrocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. The introduction of copper tunes the d-band electron configuration and enhances the adsorption of hydrogen, which impedes the hydrogen evolution reaction. The single-nickel-atom electrode exhibits a specific current density of -32.87 mA cm-2 and turnover frequency of 1962 h-1 at a mild overpotential of 620 mV for CO formation with 97 % Faradic efficiency.

Abstract
Bismuth oxyiodides with varying chemical compositions were fabricated to effectively electrochemical reduce CO2 to formate. Bi5 O7 I and Bi7 O9 I3 nanosheets assemble irregularly, and BiOI nanosheets form a sphere-like structure. Compared with BiOI and Bi7 O9 I3 , Bi5 O7 I exhibits an excellent Faradaic efficiency of 89 % for formate production with the partial current density of 13.2 mA/cm2 at -0.89 V vs. RHE owing to the elevated amounts of Bi metal sites reduced from Bi3+ during electrolysis. The partial current densities of formate on BiOI were higher than those on Bi7 O9 I3 which is attributed to the higher iodine content. The synergistic effect of bismuth and iodine of bismuth oxyiodides is responsible for their electrocatalytic properties during CO2 reduction in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Herein, a type of Fe, N-codoped carbon electrocatalyst (FeNx /C, Fe-N-BCNT#BP) containing bamboo carbon nanotubes and displaying bifunctional high catalytic efficiency for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) is reported. It shows high electrocatalytic activity and stability for both the ORR process with onset potential of 1.03 VRHE in alkaline and the CO2RR to CO with high faradic efficiency up to 90% and selectivity of about 100% at low overpotential of 0.49 V. For CO2RR to CO, it is revealed that Fe3 C is active but the activity of FeNx centers is lower than that of C-N-based centers, contrary with that observed for ORR. Due to its low cost and high electrocatalytic performance for these two reduction reactions, the obtained catalyst is very promising for extensive application in future. The revealed huge activity difference of the same types of active sites for different reactions can efficiently guide the synthesis of advanced materials with multifunction.
