Abstract
Evaluation of effective and low-cost materials as catalysts to combat the threat of pollution is a significant and growing trend. With this aim, we have synthesized calcium ferrite brownmillerite by wet preparation approach as a catalyst for pollution. The structural analysis is established by the X-ray diffraction of Ca2 Fe2 O5 , whereas the tetrahedral and octahedral sites band stretching for ferrite specimen has been deduced using FTIR. The bandgap energy has been estimated by the Tauc relation (2.17 eV). Ca2 Fe2 O5 brownmillerite exhibits a BET surface area of 10 m2 /g and a BJH pore volume of 0.121 cm3 /g with the average particle size of 70 nm. Importantly, the alizarin Red S dye degradation has been studied using the prepared ferrite catalyst, under dark ambient conditions and without the presence of any acidic or basic additives. Degradation is also supported by both FTIR and TOC analysis. Surface properties of brownmillerite Ca2 Fe2 O5 have been characterized using electronic spectroscopy and CO2 temperature programmed desorption (TPD) analysis and revealed that the basic surface of brownmillerite Ca2 Fe2 O5 offers active sites that are suitable for degradation processes. All results show that the preparation of brownmillerite Ca2 Fe2 O5 via the Pechini method is suitable to produce fine surfaces and pores with nanosized particles.

Abstract
Platinum-based catalysts have a long history of application in formic acid oxidation (FAO). The single metal Pt is active in FAO but expensive, scarce, and rapidly deactivates. Understanding the mechanism of FAO over Pt important for the rational design of catalysts. Pt nanomaterials rapidly deactivate because of the CO poisoning of Pt active sites via the dehydration pathway. Alloying with another transition metal improves the performance of Pt-based catalysts through bifunctional, ensemble, and steric effects. Supporting Pt catalysts on a high-surface-area support material is another technique to improve their overall catalytic activity. This review summarizes recent findings on the mechanism of FAO over Pt and Pt-based alloy catalysts. It also summarizes and analyzes binary and ternary Pt-based catalysts to understand their catalytic activity and structure relationship.

Abstract
The C−X bond activation (X = H, C) of a series of substituted C(n°)−H and C(n°)−C(m°) bonds with C(n°) and C(m°) = H3C− (methyl, 0°), CH3H2C− (primary, 1°), (CH3)2HC− (secondary, 2°), (CH3)3C− (tertiary, 3°) by palladium were investigated using relativistic dispersion‐corrected density functional theory at ZORA‐BLYP‐D3(BJ)/TZ2P. The effect of the stepwise introduction of substituents was pinpointed at the C−X bond on the bond activation process. The C(n°)−X bonds become substantially weaker going from C(0°)−X, to C(1°)−X, to C(2°)−X, to C(3°)−X because of the increasing steric repulsion between the C(n°)‐ and X‐group. Interestingly, this often does not lead to a lower barrier for the C(n°)−X bond activation. The C−H activation barrier, for example, decreases from C(0°)−X, to C(1°)−X, to C(2°)−X and then increases again for the very crowded C(3°)−X bond. For the more congested C−C bond, in contrast, the activation barrier always increases as the degree of substitution is increased. Our activation strain and matching energy decomposition analyses reveal that these differences in C−H and C−C bond activation can be traced back to the opposing interplay between steric repulsion across the C−X bond versus that between the catalyst and substrate.

Abstract
Direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs) have gained immense importance as a source of clean energy for portable electronic devices. It outperforms other fuel cells in several key operational and safety parameters. However, slow kinetics of the formic acid oxidation at the anode remains the main obstacle in achieving a high power output in DFAFCs. Noble metal-based electrocatalysts are effective, but are expensive and prone to CO poisoning. Recently, a substantial volume of research work have been dedicated to develop inexpensive, high activity and long lasting electrocatalysts. Herein, recent advances in the development of anode electrocatalysts for DFAFCs are presented focusing on understanding the relationship between activity and structure. This review covers the literature related to the electrocatalysts based on noble metals, non-noble metals, metal-oxides, synthesis route, support material, and fuel cell performance. The future prospects and bottlenecks in the field are also discussed at the end.

Abstract
Computational modeling at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/CBS//M06-L/def2-TZVP level of theory was used to propose four different iron catalysts whose structures were inspired on the [Fe]-hydrogenase active site: [Fe(MePNNHNP)(acmp)] (C(1), MePNNHNP = 2,6-bis(dimethylphosphine), acmp = acylmethylpyridine), [Fe(CNNHNC)(acmp)] (C(2), CNNHNC = 2,6-bis(methylimidazol-2-ylidene)), [Fe(MePNNNP)(acmp)] (D(1), MePNNNP = 2,6-bis((dimethylphosphine)pyridine)), and [Fe(CNNNC)(acmp)] (D(2), CNNNC = 2,6-bis((methylimidazol-2-ylidene) pyridine)). Through these electronic structure calculations, the catalytic mechanism of the reaction was explored. The intermediates and transition states present along the reaction coordinate were identified and described as to their equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, and energies. Quasi-harmonic corrections were performed considering conditions analogous to those used experimentally. To compare the catalytic activities of the studied catalysts, turnover frequencies (TOFs) were calculated. Based on the explored catalytic cycles and TOF values (D(1) > C(1) > D(2) > C(2)), the most suitable iron catalysts are those with tridentate phosphine pincer-type ligands coordinated to the metal center. These systems are new promising iron catalysts to promote the CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid without any use of bases or additives.
