Abstract
Constructive defect engineering has emerged as a prominent method for enhancing the performance of photocatalysts. The mechanisms of the influence of defect types, concentrations, and distributions on the efficiency, selectivity, and stability of CO2 reduction were revealed for this paper by analyzing the effects of different types of defects (e.g., metallic defects, non-metallic defects, and composite defects) on the performance of photocatalysts. There are three fundamental steps in defect engineering techniques to promote photocatalysis, namely, light absorption, charge transfer and separation, and surface-catalyzed reactions. Defect engineering has demonstrated significant potential in recent studies, particularly in enhancing the light-harvesting, charge separation, and adsorption properties of semiconductor photocatalysts for reducing processes like carbon dioxide reduction. Furthermore, this paper discusses the optimization method used in defect modulation strategy to offer theoretical guidance and an experimental foundation for designing and preparing efficient and stable photocatalysts.

Abstract
Due to the increasing antibiotic resistance and the lack of broad-spectrum antibiotics, there is an urgent requirement to develop fresh strategies to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. Herein, defect-rich bismuth molybdate heterojunctions [zero-dimensional (0D) Bi4MoO9/two-dimensional (2D) Bi2MoO6, MBO] were designed for rapid capture of bacteria and synergistic photocatalytic sterilization. The as-prepared MBO was experimentally and theoretically demonstrated to possess defects, heterojunctions, and irradiation triple-enhanced photocatalytic activity for efficient generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the exposure of more active sites and separation of effective electron-hole pairs. Meanwhile, dopamine-modified MBO (pMBO) achieved a positively charged and rough surface, which conferred strong bacterial adhesion and physical penetration to the nanosheets, effectively trapping bacteria within the damage range and enhancing ROS damage. Based on this potent antibacterial ability of pMBO, a multifunctional hydrogel consisting of poly(vinyl alcohol) cross-linked tannic acid-coated cellulose nanocrystals (CPTB) and pMBO, namely CPTB@pMBO, is developed and convincingly effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a mouse skin infection model. In addition, the strategy of combining a failed beta-lactam antibiotic with CPTB@pMBO to photoinactivation with no resistance observed was developed, which presented an idea to address the issue of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and to explore facile anti-infection methods. In addition, CPTB@pMBO can reduce excessive proteolysis of tissue and inflammatory response by regulating the expression of genes and pro-inflammatory factors in vivo, holding great potential for the effective treatment of wound infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
In recent years, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted the interest of researchers owing to their suitability for various catalytic applications. For instance, their optoelectronic features, site-specific activity, and cost-effectiveness make SACs ideal for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The activity, product selectivity, and photostability of SACs depend on various factors such as the nature of the metal/support material, the interaction between the metal atoms and support, light-harvesting ability, charge separation behavior, CO2 adsorption ability, active sites, and defects. Consequently, it is necessary to investigate these factors in depth to elucidate the working principle(s) of SACs for catalytic applications. Herein, the recent progress in the development of SACs for photocatalytic CO2 reduction with H2 O is reviewed. First, a brief overview of CO2 photoreduction and SACs for CO2 conversion is provided. Several synthesis strategies and useful techniques for characterizing SACs employed in heterogeneous catalysis are then described. Next, the challenges of SACs for photocatalytic CO2 reduction and related optimization strategies, in terms of activity, product selectivity, and stability, are explored. The progress in the development of noble metal- and transition metal-based SACs and dual-SACs for photocatalytic CO2 reduction is discussed. Finally, the prospects of SACs for CO2 reduction are considered.

Abstract
The photocatalytic transformation of CO2 to valuable man-made feedstocks is a promising method for balancing the carbon cycle; however, it is often hampered by the consumption of extra hole scavengers. Here, a synergistic redox system using photogenerated electron-hole pairs was constructed by employing a porous carbon nitride with many cyanide groups as a metal-free photocatalyst. Selective CO2 reduction to CO using photogenerated electrons was achieved under mild conditions; simultaneously, various alcohols were effectively oxidized to value-added aldehydes using holes. The results showed that thermal calcination process using ammonium sulfate as porogen contributes to the construction of a porous structure. As-obtained cyanide groups can facilitate charge carrier separation and promote moderate CO2 adsorption. Electron-donating groups in alcohols could enhance the activity via a faster hydrogen-donating process. This concerted photocatalytic system that synergistically utilizes electron-hole pairs upon light excitation contributes to the construction of cost-effective and multifunctional photocatalytic systems for selective CO2 reduction and artificial photosynthesis.
