Abstract
Solar-driven carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion including photocatalytic (PC), photoelectrochemical (PEC), photovoltaic plus electrochemical (PV/EC) systems, offers a renewable and scalable way to produce fuels and high-value chemicals for environment and energy sustainability. This review summarizes the basic fundament and the recent advances in the field of solar-driven CO2 conversion. Expanding the visible-light absorption is an important strategy to improve solar energy conversion efficiency. The separation and migration of photogenerated charges carriers to surface sites and the surface catalytic processes also determine the photocatalytic performance. Surface engineering including co-catalyst loading, defect engineering, morphology control, surface modification, surface phase junction, and Z-scheme photocatalytic system construction, have become fundamental strategies to obtain high-efficiency photocatalysts. Similar to photocatalysis, these strategies have been applied to improve the conversion efficiency and Faradaic efficiency of typical PEC systems. In PV/EC systems, the electrode surface structure and morphology, electrolyte effects, and mass transport conditions affect the activity and selectivity of electrochemical CO2 reduction. Finally, the challenges and prospects are addressed for the development of solar-driven CO2 conversion system with high energy conversion efficiency, high product selectivity and stability.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2401413.

Abstract
Advancing the field of photocatalysis requires the elucidation of structural properties that underpin the photocatalytic properties of promising materials. The focus of the present study is layered, Bi-rich bismuth oxyhalides, which are widely studied for photocatalytic applications yet poorly structurally understood, due to high levels of disorder, nano-sized domains, and the large number of structurally similar compounds. By connecting insights from multiple scattering techniques, utilizing electron-, X-ray- and neutron probes, the crystal phase of the synthesized materials is allocated as layered Bi24O31X10 (X = Cl, Br), albeit with significant deviation from the reported 3D crystalline model. The materials comprise anisotropic platelet-shaped crystalline domains, exhibiting significant in-plane ordering in two dimensions but disorder and an ultra-thin morphology in the layer stacking direction. Increased synthesis pH tailored larger, more ordered crystalline domains, leading to longer excited state lifetimes determined via femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TAS). Although this likely contributes to improved photocatalytic properties, assessed via the photooxidation of benzylamine, increasing the overall surface area facilitated the most significant improvement in photocatalytic performance. This study, therefore, enabled both phase allocation and a nuanced discussion of the structure-property relationship for complicated, ultra-thin photocatalysts.

Abstract
Defect engineering has been widely applied in semiconductors to improve photocatalytic properties by altering the surface structures. This study is about the transformation of inactive WO3 nanosheets to a highly effective CO2-to-CH4 conversion photocatalyst by introducing surface-ordered defects in abundance. The nonstoichiometric WO3-x samples were examined by using aberration-corrected electron microscopy. Results unveil abundant surface-ordered terminations derived from the periodic {013} stacking faults with a defect density of 20.2%. The {002} surface-ordered line defects are the active sites for fixation CO2, transforming the inactive WO3 nanosheets into a highly active catalyst (CH4: O2 = 8.2: 16.7 μmol h-1). We believe that the formation of the W-O-C-W-O species is a critical step in the catalytic pathways. This work provides an atomic-level comprehension of the structural defects of catalysts for activating small molecules.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 660:235-245. [PMID: 38244492 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.01.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based therapy has emerged as a promising antibacterial strategy. However, it faces the limitations of uncontrollable space-time release and excessive lipid peroxidation, which may lead to a series of metabolic disorders and decreased immune function. In this study, mechanical damage by molybdenum oxide nanowires (MoOxNWs) is introduced as a synergistic factor to enhance the photothermal and photodynamic effects for controllable and efficient antibacterial therapy. Through their sharp ends, the nanowires can effectively pierce and damage the bacterial cells, thus facilitating the entry of externally generated ROS into the cells. The ROS are generated via photodynamic effect of the nanowires under a mere 5 min of near-infrared light irradiation. This approach enhances the photothermal (by 27.3 %) and photodynamic properties of ROS generation. MoOxNWs (100 μg·mL-1) achieve sterilisation rates of 97.67 % for extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli and 96.34 % for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which are comparable or even exceeding the efficacy of most MoOx-based antibacterial agents. Moreover, they exhibit good biocompatibility and low in vivo toxicity.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202316410.

Abstract
Piezo-self-Fenton system (PESF) has been emerging as a promising water treatment technology but suffering from unsatisfied H2 O2 production efficiency. Herein, we rationally design a Bi12 O17 Cl2 piezo-catalyst with multiple [Bi-O]n interlayers towards highly efficient H2 O2 production. The introduction of [Bi3 O4.25 ] layers initiates dual two-electron pathway for H2 O2 generation by altering the interlayer properties. It is found that the additional [Bi3 O4.25 ] layers not only enhance the polarization electric field but also serve as active sites for triggering dual pathways of two-electron O2 reduction and H2 O oxidation reaction for H2 O2 production. Therefore, the Bi12 O17 Cl2 exhibits an ultrahigh rate of H2 O2 generation (7.76 mM h-1 g-1 ) in pure water. Based on the adequate H2 O2 yield, a PESF was constructed for acetaminophen (ACE) degradation with an apparent rate constant of 0.023 min-1 . This work not only presents a potential strategy of tuning the activity of bismuth based piezo-catalysts but also provides a good example on the construction of highly efficient PESF for environmental remediation by using natural mechanical energy.

Abstract
Xanthine-functionalized molybdenum oxide nanodots (X-MoO3-x NDs) with peroxidase (POD)-like activity were developed for selective, sensitive, and facile colorimetric quantification of xanthine oxidase (XO). Xanthine functionalization can not only be favorable for the successful nanozyme preparation, but also for the specific recognition of XO as well as the simultaneous generation of hydrogen peroxide, which was subsequently transformed into hydroxyl radical to oxidize the chromogenic reagent based on the POD-like catalysis. Under the optimized conditions, the colorimetric biosensing platform was established for XO assay without addition of further substrates, showing good linearity relationship between absorbance difference (ΔA) and XO concentrations in the range 0.05-0.5 U/mL (R2 = 0.998) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.019 U/mL. The quantification of XO occurs in 25 min, which is superior to the previously reported and commercial XO assays. The proposed method has been successfully used in the assay of human serum samples, showing its high potential in the field of clinical monitoring.

Abstract
The insufficient active sites and slow interfacial charge transfer of photocatalysts restrict the efficiency of CO2 photoreduction. The synchronized modulation of the above key issues is demanding and challenging. Herein, strain-induced strategy is developed to construct the Bi-O-bonded interface in Cu porphyrin-based monoatomic layer (PML-Cu) and Bi12O17Br2 (BOB), which triggers the surface interface dual polarization of PML-Cu/BOB (PBOB). In this multi-step polarization, the built-in electric field formed between the interfaces induces the electron transfer from conduction band (CB) of BOB to CB of PML-Cu and suppresses its reverse migration. Moreover, the surface polarization of PML-Cu further promotes the electron converge in Cu atoms. The introduction of PML-Cu endows a high density of dispersed Cu active sites on the surface of PBOB, significantly promoting the adsorption and activation of CO2 and CO desorption. The conversion rate of CO2 photoreduction to CO for PBOB can reach 584.3 μmol g-1, which is 7.83 times higher than BOB and 20.01 times than PML-Cu. This work offers valuable insights into multi-step polarization regulation and active site design for catalysts.

Abstract
The defective BiOCl nanosheet exposed (001) facet with favorable photocatalytic performance was designed. The surface microstructure analysis and theoretical calculation certified the dominant exposed (001) facet and rich surface oxygen defects of Br--doped BiOCl (B-6) nanosheets. The energy level structure analysis indicates that the band gap can be narrowed and the light absorption range can be widened by introducing Br- to BiOCl, and the presence of defective energy levels increases the photogenerated carrier transfer efficiency. Moreover, the doping of Br- in BiOCl promotes the directional flow of electrons to the surface of B-6, which improves the photocatalytic performance of the sample. Thus, the Br--doped BiOCl can degrade 96.5% RhB within 6 min under visible-light irradiation with high apparent reaction rate constants of 0.51 min-1, exhibiting the strongest photocatalytic degradation performance. This work provides guidance for the preparation of Bi-based photocatalysts with excellent performance.

Abstract
Photogenerated charge localization on material surfaces significantly affects photocatalytic performance, especially for multi-electron CO2 reduction. Dual single atom (DSA) catalysts with flexibly designed reactive sites have received significant research attention for CO2 photoreduction. However, the charge transfer mechanism in DSA catalysts remains poorly understood. Here, for the first time, a reversed electron transfer mechanism on Au and Co DSA catalysts is reported. In situ characterizations confirm that for CdS nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with Co or Au single atoms, photogenerated electrons are localized around the single atom of Co or Au. In DSA catalysts, however, electrons are delocalized from Au and accumulate around Co atoms. Importantly, combined advanced spectroscopic findings and theoretical computation evidence that this reversed electron transfer in Au/Co DSA boosts charge redistribution and activation of CO2 molecules, leading to highly significantly increased photocatalytic CO2 reduction, for example, Au/Co DSA loaded CdS exhibits, respectively, ≈2800% and 700% greater yields for CO and CH4 compared with that for CdS alone. Reversed electron transfer in DSA can be used for practical design for charge redistribution and to boost photoreduction of CO2 . Findings will be of benefit to researchers and manufacturers in DSA-loaded catalysts for the generation of solar fuels.

Abstract
The La-based perovskite (LaBO3) exhibits excellent optical properties. However, its valence band (VB) potential is not sufficiently positive to reach the oxidation potential required for the cleavage of chemical bonds (such as benzylic C-H), limiting its application in photocatalysis. Herein, we report the unconventional effects of heat activation on the reduction of the dissociation energy of benzylic C-H and aqueous H-O, thereby triggering the photocatalytic activity of La2CoxMn2-xO6 perovskites. Additionally, we demonstrate that photocatalysis is the main contributor to substrate conversion in the selective oxidation of toluene and reduction of CO2. Particularly, La2Co1.5Mn0.5O6 shows excellent performance with a product yield of 550.00 mmol gcat-1 and a toluene conversion of 22,866.67 μmol gcat-1 h-1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest reported product yield for the selective oxidation of benzylic C-H bond of toluene. Our findings provide insight into the specific role of heat activation in photocatalysis, which is crucial for breaking and overcoming the VB barrier to realize challenging reactions.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into fuels provides a prospective tactic for regulating the global carbon balance utilizing renewable solar energy. However, CO2 molecules are difficult to activate and reduce due to the thermodynamic stability and chemical inertness. In this work, we develop a novel strategy to promote the adsorption and activation of CO2 molecules via the rapid energy exchange between the photoinduced Br vacancies and CO2 molecules. Combining in situ continuous wave-electron paramagnetic resonance (cw-EPR) and pulsed EPR technologies, we observe that the spin-spin relaxation time (T2) of BiOBr is decreased by 198 ns during the CO2 photoreduction reaction, which is further confirmed by the broadened EPR linewidth. This result reveals that there is an energy exchange interaction between in situ formed Br vacancies and CO2 molecules, which promotes the formation of high-energy CO2 molecules to facilitate the subsequent reduction reaction. In addition, theoretical calculations indicate that the bended CO2 adsorption configuration on the surface of BiOBr with Br vacancies caused the decrease of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the CO2 molecule, which makes it easier for CO2 molecules to acquire electrons and get activated. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy further shows that the activated CO2 molecules are favorably converted to key intermediates of COOH*, resulting in a CO generation rate of 9.1 μmol g-1 h-1 and a selectivity of 100%. This study elucidates the underlying mechanism of CO2 activation at active sites and deepens the understanding of CO2 photoreduction reaction.

Abstract
The impact of defects on the carbon dioxide (CO2) photoreduction property is sometimes contradictory. Herein, we employ two-dimensional materials, possessing high-density and high-uniformity active sites, as ideal models to thoroughly investigate the influence of defects on three main processes during CO2 photoreduction. As an example, oxygen-deficient ZnGa2O4 atomic layers are successfully fabricated, verified by the electron spin resonance spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra and X-ray absorption near edge structure spectra. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, photoluminescence spectra, surface photovoltage spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm plots and density functional theory calculations indicate that the presence of oxygen defects helps to expand the photoabsorption, accelerate the carrier separation, and enhance the CO2 adsorption and protonation process. As a result, the carbon monoxide evolution rate of the defective ZnGa2O4 atomic layers was approximately 88 times higher than that of the ZnGa2O4 atomic layers under visible light irradiation. In other words, this work discloses that the introduction of defects on photocatalysts allows the optimization of the three primary processes, thus obtaining boosted CO2 photoreduction performance.

Abstract
Utilizing artificial photosynthesis for the conversion of CO2 into value-added fuels has been recognized as a promising strategy for the ever-increasing energy crisis and the greenhouse effect. Herein, the element doping engineering of red spherical g-C3N4 having oxygen bonded with compositional carbon (C-O-C) for CO2 photoreduction has been explored to address this challenge. The C-O bond was formed by hydrothermal treatment with dicyandiamide and 1,3,5-trichlorotriazine. The experimental and DFT results displayed the optimum oxygen substitution sites and demonstrated that the oxygen doping greatly improved the light utilization efficiency, CO2 affinity, and charge carrier transfer, which enhanced photoreduction efficiency of CO2. The evolution rates of CO (47.2 μmol g-1) and CH4 (9.1 μmol g-1) using O-CN were much higher than that of bulk-CN without a cocatalyst. The main reason was the contribution of the O 2p orbital to the conduction band (CB) and valence band of O-CN, which effectively reduced the electron mass, facilitating electron/hole separation and enhancing its fluidity. Furthermore, the Fermi level also shifted to the bottom of the CB, leading to higher electron density, which further improved the CO2 reduction ability. Our study marks an important step for developing high-performance photocatalysts for reduction of CO2.

Abstract
Solar-driven reduction of CO2 emissions into high-value-added carbonaceous compounds has been recognized as a sustainable energy conversion way. The high-efficiency charge separation and effective activation are the critical issues in the process. The local plasma effect of metal and the vacancy of semiconductors in the metal-semiconductor heterostructure can solve this issue extensively. Herein, an oxygen vacancy photocatalyst containing uniform Ag nanoparticles (Ag-20@Nb2 O5- x ) is designed, which exhibits an excellent reduction performance and the CO yield can reach 59.13 µmol g-1 with high selectivity. The carrier migration is accelerated and the activation of CO2 is facilitated by the local surface plasmon effect and oxygen vacancy. Moreover, the photocatalytic CO2 reduction mechanism is revealed based on the density functional theory and in situ technology in detail. This work provides an in-depth understanding of the design of more ingenious metal-semiconductor photocatalysts to achieve more efficient charge transfer.

Abstract
In this work, a novel photocatalyst of ZnIn2S4/Ni(dmgH)2 was designed by a simple chemical precipitation method and used to enhance hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation. Along with vigorous discharges of hydrogen bubbles, an optimal rate of 36.3 mmol/g/h was reached under UV-Vis light for hydrogen evolution, nearly 4.9 times of the one from pure ZnIn2S4. The heterojunction exhibits steady hydrogen evolution capability and owns a high apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of 20.45% under the monochromatic light at 420 nm. By coupling ZnIn2S4 with Ni(dmgH)2, an extraordinary photochromic phenomenon was detected and attributed to the active Ni-S component in situ formed between the nickel and sulfur composites under light irradiation. The emerging sulfide benefits light absorption of the system and separation of photogenerated electron and hole pairs. Besides providing a promising photocatalyst for visible light hydrogen production, the present work is hoped to inspire new trends of catalytic medium designs and investigations.

Abstract
Transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) are emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials that have been widely investigated in recent years. In general, these materials can be obtained from MAX phase ceramics after intercalation, etching, and exfoliation to obtain multilayer MXene nanosheet structures; moreover, they have abundant end-group functional groups on their surface. In recent years, the excellent high permeability, fine sieving ability and diverse processability of MXene series materials make the membranes prepared using them particularly suitable for membrane-based separation processes in the field of gas separation. 2D membranes enhance the diversity of the pristine membrane transport channels by regulating the gas transport channels through in-plane pores (intrinsic defects), in-plane slit-like pores, and planar to planar interlayer channels, endowing the membrane with the ability to effectively sieve gas energy efficiently. Herein, we review MXenes, a class of 2D nanomaterials, in terms of their unique structure, synthesis method, functionalization method, and the structure-property relationship of MXene-based gas separation membranes and list examples of MXene-based membranes used in the field of gas separation. By summarizing and analyzing the basic properties of MXenes and demonstrating their unique advantages compared to other 2D nanomaterials, we lay a foundation for the discussion of MXene-based membranes with outstanding carbon dioxide (CO2) capture performance and outline and exemplify the excellent separation performances of MXene-based gas separation membranes. Finally, the challenges associated with MXenes are briefly discussed and an outlook on the promising future of MXene-based membranes is presented. It is expected that this review will provide new insights and important guidance for future research on MXene materials in the field of gas separation.

Abstract
In this work, different BiOBr powders (without and with Zn doping) were prepared. Their specific properties and photocatalytic performance were studied. Zn doped BiOBr showed higher carrier transportation ability, beneficial to high performance photocatalysis. Further analysis and theoretical calculations unveiled that Zn doping resulted in more dispersive energy band structure with improved oxygen vacancy (OV) generation due to lattice distortion. OV acted as trap centers, playing dominant role in carrier transportation enhancement, which also synergized with more dispersive energy band due to Zn doping, improving carrier separation and transfer. Besides, Zn doping would further strengthen trapping effect under OV existence, stimulating synergistic enhancement to spatial charge separation and transfer with OV. With synergy of Zn doping and OV, Zn doped samples produced 1.75 times higher CH4 generation during gas-solid photocatalytic reduction of CO2 under visible light, testifying successful conducting of Zn doping improved photocatalytic capacity on BiOBr.

[PMID: 36524615 PMCID: PMC10107262 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Suppressing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is an essential measure toward addressing global warming. Specifically, the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) is an effective strategy because it affords the conversion of CO2 into useful carbon feedstocks by using sunlight and water. However, the practical application of photocatalyst-promoting CRR (CRR photocatalysts) requires significant improvement of their conversion efficiency. Accordingly, extensive research is being conducted toward improving semiconductor photocatalysts, as well as cocatalysts that are loaded as active sites on the photocatalysts. In this review, we summarize recent research and development trends in the improvement of cocatalysts, which have a significant impact on the catalytic activity and selectivity of photocatalytic CRR. We expect that the advanced knowledge provided on the improvement of cocatalysts for CRR in this review will serve as a general guideline to accelerate the development of highly efficient CRR photocatalysts.

Abstract
Excessive CO2 emission from fossil fuel usage has resulted in global warming and environmental crises. To solve this problem, the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CO or useful components is a new strategy that has received significant attention. The main challenge in this regard is exploring photocatalysts with high efficiency for CO2 photoreduction. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) through the high-pressure torsion (HPT) process has been effectively used in recent years to develop novel active catalysts for CO2 conversion. These active photocatalysts have been designed based on four main strategies: (i) oxygen vacancy and strain engineering, (ii) stabilization of high-pressure phases, (iii) synthesis of defective high-entropy oxides, and (iv) synthesis of low-bandgap high-entropy oxynitrides. These strategies can enhance the photocatalytic efficiency compared with conventional and benchmark photocatalysts by improving CO2 adsorption, increasing light absorbance, aligning the band structure, narrowing the bandgap, accelerating the charge carrier migration, suppressing the recombination rate of electrons and holes, and providing active sites for photocatalytic reactions. This article reviews recent progress in the application of SPD to develop functional ceramics for photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Selective reduction of nitroaromatics to the corresponding amines generally requires complex conditions, involving pressurized hydrogen, higher temperatures, or organic acids. In this work, we successfully prepared a series of porphyrin-based MOF photocatalysts (Pd-PMOFs, In-PMOFs, and In/Pd-PMOFs) via a facile solvothermal method for the efficient selective reduction of nitroaromatics to corresponding anilines with deionized water as the hydrogen donor. Being a new structured material (monoclinic, C52H40InN6O8Pd), on account of the abundant pore channels, strong light absorption capability, well-matched bandgap, as well as the coordination of indium ions and palladium ions, In/Pd-MOFs have excellent migration efficiency of photo-induced electrons and holes. Specifically, the In/Pd-PMOF photocatalyst manifested superior conversion (100%) and selectivity (≥80%) toward the screened nitro compounds under mild conditions. This work avoids the use of strong reductants, organic acids, and pressurized hydrogen gas as hydrogen sources, providing a promising concept for developing green catalytic systems.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are favorable for antibacterial infection but their overproduction results in serious inflammatory response and aggravates the hypoxic state of the wound tissue, which is detrimental to healing stages of proliferation and remodeling. Here, an atomic-dispersion Fe-doped oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide MoO3- X (ADFM) bifunctional nanozyme, featuring implanted peroxidase-like and enhanced catalase-like activity, is developed for decomposing H2 O2 into strongly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for prevention of bacterial infection and into plentiful O2 for healing stages. Therein, the introduction of Fe into MoO3- X primarily produces an asymmetric electron density difference by elongating the bond length between metal atoms, synchronously stabilizing adsorption of •OH and weakening the adsorption of O2 . ADFM also shows unimaginably high aqueous dispersity and pH-adaptive ROS regulation in the wound microenvironment, both of which are favorable for ADFM to fully exert enzyme-like activity for timely antibacterial and efficient wound-healing action. ADFM thus achieves efficient healing of drug-resistant bacteria-infected wounds in vivo, at an ultralow dosage of 30 µg mL-1 against 106 CFU mL-1 extended spectrum β-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli, exhibiting a wound-healing efficiency of ≈10 mm2 per day, which sets a benchmark among these noble-metal-free nanozyme-based wound-healing agents.

Abstract
Reducing CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels by artificial photosynthesis (photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis) is one of the considerable solutions to global environmental and energy issues. One-dimensional (1D) nanostructured catalysts (nanowires, nanorods, nanotubes and so on.) have attracted extensive attention due to their superior light-harvesting ability, co-catalyst loading capacity, and high carrier separation rate. This review analyzed the basic principle of the photo(electro)catalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) briefly. The preparation methods and properties of 1D nanostructured catalysts are introduced. Next, the applications of 1D nanostructured catalysts in the field of photo(electro)catalytic CO2 RR are introduced in detail. In particular, we introduced the design of composite catalysts with 1D nanostructures, for example loading 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D materials on a 1D nanostructured semiconductor to construct a heterojunction to optimize the photo-response range, carrier separation and transport efficiency, CO2 adsorption and activation capacity, and stability of the catalyst. Finally, the development prospects of 1D nanostructured catalysts are discussed and summarized. This review can provide guidance for the rational design of advanced catalysts for photo(electro)catalytic CO2 RR.

Abstract
The utilization of solar energy for CO2 conversion not only enables a green and low-carbon recycling of CO2 with renewable energy, but also solves ecological problems. BixMOy (M = V, Mo, W) materials have typical layered structures and unique electronic properties that provide suitable band gaps and potential to meet the basic conditions for CO2 reduction. However, pristine BixMOy faces with problems such as small specific surface area, insufficient active sites, low charge carriers' separation and utilization efficiency. This review comprehensively described the basic principles and reaction pathways of photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and further presented the research progress of BixMOy catalysts in CO2 conversion reactions. In this perspective, we further focus on the design concepts and modification strategies to improve the photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity of BixMOy, such as morphology control, constructing surface vacancies and heterojunction fabrication. Finally, based on representative researches, the present review will be expected to provide updated information and insights for developing advanced BixMOy materials to further improve CO2 reduction activity and selectivity.

Abstract
Due to the multiple electron and proton transfer processes involved, the photogenerated charges are easily recombined during the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, making the generation of the eight-electron product CH4 kinetically more difficult. Herein, Ni3B nanoparticles modulated by p-block element were combined with TiO2 nanosheets to construct a novel Schottky junction photocatalyst (Ni3B/TiO2) for the selective photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CH4. The formed Ni3B/TiO2 photocatalyst with Schottky junction ensures a transfer pathway of photogenerated electrons from TiO2 to Ni3B, which facilitates the accumulation of electrons on the surface of Ni3B and subsequently improves the activity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CH4. The optimized Ni3B/TiO2 Schottky junction shows an improved CH4 yield of 30.03 μmol g-1 h-1, which was much higher than those of TiO2 (1.62 μmol g-1 h-1), NiO/TiO2 (2.44 μmol g-1 h-1), and Ni/TiO2 (4.3 μmol g-1 h-1). This work demonstrated that the introduction of p-block elements can alleviate the scaling relationship effect of pure metal cocatalysts to a certain extent, and the modified Ni3B can be used as a promising new cocatalyst to effectively improve the selective photocatalytic of CO2 to CH4.

Abstract
In this study, 3D C2S3 (CS) and 2D Bi2S3 (BS) modified NiCr2O4 nanocomposite (NCO-BS-CS NCs) was prepared by sonochemical assisted co-precipitation method for the enhanced photocatalytic activity. Here, NCO-BS-CS NCs showed band gap energy of 2.23 eV and the PL intensity of NCO-BS-CS NCs was lower than NCO, BS, and CS NPs. Thus, the results indicate the fabricated NCO-BS-CS NCs enhance the charge segregation and lower in recombination rate. NCO-BS-CS NCs showed enhanced photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) (95%) and congo red (CR) (99.7%) respectively. The total organic compound (TOC) analysis shows the complete mineralization of about 91 and 98% for MO and CR respectively. Furthermore, the Fukui function was used for the prediction of reactive sites in the photodegradation pathway of MO and CR by NCs. ECOSAR program was done to determine the toxicity of the intermediate and the results conclude that the degraded product shows nontoxic to the environmental organism (fish, daphnia, and algae). Thus, the fabricated NCO-BS-CS NCs can be used for the remediation of toxic organic pollutants from the waste water by photocatalytic degradation.

Abstract
Despite suffering from slow charge-carrier mobility, photocatalysis is still an attractive and promising technology toward producing green fuels from solar energy. An effective approach is to design and fabricate advanced architectural materials as photocatalysts to enhance the performance of semiconductor-based photocatalytic systems. Herein, metal-organic-framework-derived hierarchically ordered porous nitrogen and carbon co-doped ZnO (N-C-ZnO) structures are developed as nanoreactors with decorated CoOx nanoclusters for CO2 -to-CO conversion driven by visible light. Introduction of hierarchical nanoarchitectures with highly ordered interconnected meso-macroporous channels shows beneficial properties for photocatalytic reduction reactions, including enhanced mobility of charge carriers throughout the highly accessible framework, maximized exposure of active sites, and inhibited recombination of photoinduced charge carriers. Density functional theory calculations further reveal the key role of CoOx nanoclusters with high affinity to CO2 molecules, and the CoO bonds formed on the surface of the composite exhibit stronger charge redistribution. As a result, the obtained CoOx /N-C-ZnO demonstrates enhanced photocatalysis performance in terms of high CO yield and long-term stability.

Abstract
Micro/nanostructure control of heterostructures is still a challenge for achieving high efficiency and selectivity of photocatalytic CO2 conversion. In this work, a new three-dimensiona/two-dimensional (3D/2D) heterostructure is fabricated by encapsulating RuS2 nanospheres in the interlayer of mesoporous polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) nanosheets based on an in situ growth and polymerization strategy. The unique microstructure of the obtained 3D/2D RuS2/PCN heterojunction can effectively improve the transfer and separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers, reduce the mass transfer resistance of CO2 toward active sites, and provide a confined reaction space, thus propelling the photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO with high selectivity. The CO yield over the optimal 5%-RuS2/PCN sample reaches 4.2 and 2.8 times as high as that of single PCN and RuS2 within 4 h, respectively. Furthermore, the plausible charge transfer mechanism and CO2 reduction path are revealed by time-dependent in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra combined with photophysical, electrochemical, and photoelectrochemical techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work develops the microstructural engineering design strategy of PCN-based heterojunctions for selective photocatalytic CO2 fuel conversion.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 conversion into high-value chemicals has been emerging as an attractive research direction in achieving carbon resource sustainability. The chemical products can be categorized into C1 and multi-carbon (C2+) products. In this review, we describe the recent research progress in photocatalytic CO2 conversion systems from C1 products to multi-carbon oxygenates, and analyze the reasons related to their catalytic mechanisms, as the production of multi-carbon oxygenates is generally more difficult than that of C1 products. Then we discuss several examples in promoting the photoconversion of CO2 to value-added multi-carbon products in the aspects of photocatalyst design, mass transfer control, determination of active sites, and intermediate regulation. Finally, we summarize perspectives on the challenges and propose potential directions in this fast-developing field, such as the prospect of CO2 transformation to long-chain hydrocarbons like salicylic acid or even plastics.

Abstract
Rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers severely impairs the performance of photocatalysts, while polarization is an effective driving force for increasing the charge separation and hence improving the photocatalytic activity. In this work, a series of magnetoelectric-coupled layered metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts with different Co-doped contents (denoted as Ni-MOF and CoxNi1-x-MOF) are fabricated with different polarities and employed as novel photocatalysts for CO2 photocatalytic reduction reaction. Our experiments show that the highest charge separation efficiency occurs in the Co0.1Ni0.9-MOF sample which has a maximal polarization. This Co0.1Ni0.9-MOF material has a best CO2 reduction performance of 38.74 μmol g-1h-1 which is at a high level in the currently reported layered materials. Meanwhile, it is found that a series of CoxNi1-x-MOF samples all display selectivity close to 100% for CO2 reduction to CO, which is desirable for industrial applications. Theoretical analysis shows that Co doping alters the degree of distortion of the asymmetrical Ni-centered octahedron {NiN2O4} in Ni-MOF by replacing Ni due to the magnetoelectric coupling effect and Jahn-Teller effect, which results in adjustable polarity of CoxNi1-x-MOF. This work provides new insights on how to improve photogenerated charge separation in MOF by enhancing polarization.
