Abstract
Electrode-confined molecular catalysts are promising systems to enable the efficient conversion of CO2 to useful products. Here, we describe the development of an original molecular cathode for CO2 reduction to CO based on the noncovalent integration of a tetraazamacrocyclic Co complex to a carbon nanotube-based matrix. Aqueous electrochemical characterization of the modified electrode allowed for clear observation of a change of redox behavior of the Co center as surface concentration was tuned, highlighting the impact of the catalyst microenvironment on its redox properties. The molecular cathode enabled efficient CO2-to-CO conversion in fully aqueous conditions, giving rise to a turnover number (TONCO) of up to 20 × 103 after 2 h of constant electrolysis at a mild overpotential (η = 450 mV) and with a faradaic efficiency for CO of about 95%. Post operando measurements using electrochemical techniques, inductively coupled plasma, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy characterization of the films demonstrated that the catalysis remained of molecular nature, making this Co-based electrode a new promising alternative for molecular electrocatalytic conversion of CO2-to-CO in fully aqueous media.

Abstract
As electrocatalysts, molecular catalysts with large aromatic systems (such as terpyridine, porphyrin, or phthalocyanine) have been widely applied in the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, these monomeric catalysts tend to aggregate due to strong π-π interactions, resulting in limited accessibility of the active site. In light of these challenges, we present a novel strategy of active site isolation for enhancing the CO2RR. Six Ru(Tpy)2 were integrated into the skeleton of a metallo-organic supramolecule by stepwise self-assembly in order to form a rhombus-fused six-pointed star R1 with active site isolation. The turnover frequency (TOF) of R1 was as high as 10.73 s-1 at -0.6 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs RHE), which is the best reported value so far at the same potential to our knowledge. Furthermore, by increasing the connector density on R1's skeleton, a more stable triangle-fused six-pointed star T1 was successfully synthesized. T1 exhibits exceptional stability up to 126 h at -0.4 V vs RHE and excellent TOF values of CO. The strategy of active site isolation and connector density increment significantly enhanced the catalytic activity by increasing the exposure of the active site. This work provides a starting point for the design of molecular catalysts and facilitates the development of a new generation of catalysts with a high catalytic performance.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction can convert CO2 to value-added chemicals, but its selectivity toward C3+ products are very limited. One possible solution is to run the reactions in hybrid processes by coupling electrocatalysis with other catalytic routes. In this contribution, we report the cascade electrocatalytic and thermocatalytic reduction of CO2 to propionaldehyde. Using Cu(OH)2 nanowires as the precatalyst, CO2 /H2 O is reduced to concentrated C2 H4 , CO, and H2 gases in a zero-gap membrane electrode assembly (MEA) reactor. The thermochemical hydroformylation reaction is separately investigated with a series of rhodium-phosphine complexes. The best candidate is identified to be the one with the 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane diphosphine ligand, which exhibits a propionaldehyde turnover number of 1148 under a mild temperature and close-to-atmospheric pressure. By coupling and optimizing the upstream CO2 electroreduction and downstream hydroformylation reaction, we achieve a propionaldehyde selectivity of ~38 % and a total C3 oxygenate selectivity of 44 % based on reduced CO2 . These values represent a more than seven times improvement over the best prior electrochemical system alone or over two times improvement over other hybrid systems.

Abstract
Designing photocatalysts with efficient charge transport and abundant active sites for photocatalytic CO2 reduction in pure water is considered a potential approach. Herein, a nickel-phthalocyanine containing Ni-N4 active sites-based conjugated microporous polymer (NiPc-CMP), offering highly dispersed metal active sites, satisfactory CO2 adsorption capability, and excellent light harvesting properties, is engineered as a photocatalyst. By virtue of the covalently bonded bridge, an atomic-scale interface between the NiPc-CMP/Bi2 WO6 Z-scheme heterojunction with strong chemical interactions is obtained. The interface creates directional charge transport highways and retains a high redox potential, thereby enhancing the photoexcited charge carrier separation and photocatalytic efficiency. Consequently, the optimal NiPc-CMP/Bi2 WO6 (NCB-3) achieves efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance in pure water under visible-light irradiation without any sacrificial agent or photosensitizer, affording a CO generation rate of 325.9 µmol g-1 with CO selectivity of 93% in 8 h, outperforming those of Bi2 WO6 and NiPc-CMP, individually. Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal the promotion of interfacial photoinduced electron separation and the role of Ni-N4 active sites in photocatalytic reactions. This study presents a high-performance CMP-based Z-scheme heterojunction with an effective interfacial charge-transfer route and rich metal active sites for photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Electron-donating/-withdrawing groups (EDGs/EWGs) substitution is widely used to regulate the catalytic performance of transition-metal phthalocyanine (MPc) toward electrochemical CO2 reduction, but the corresponding structure-activity relationships and regulation mechanisms are still ambiguous. Herein, by investigating a series of substitution-functionalized MPc (MPc-X), this work reveals a double-volcano-like relationship between the electron-donating/-withdrawing abilities of the substituents and the catalytic activities of MPc-X. The weak-EDG/-EWG substitution enhances whereas the strong-EDG/-EWG substitution mostly lowers the CO selectivity of MPc. Experimental and calculation results demonstrate that the electronic properties of the substituents influence the symmetry and energy of the highest occupied molecular orbitals of MPc-X, which in turn determine the CO2 adsorption/activation and lead to diverse CO2 reduction pathways on the EWG or EDG substituted MPc via different CO2 adsorption modes. This work provides mechanism insights that could be guidance for the design and regulation of molecular catalysts.

Abstract
Introducing an external visible-light field would be a promising strategy to improve the activity of the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), but it still remains a challenge due to the short excited-state lifetime of active sites. Herein, Ru(bpy)3Cl2 struts as powerful photosensitive donors were immobilized into the backbones of Co-porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks (named Co-Bpy-COF-Rux, x is the molar ratio of Ru and Co species, x = 1/2 and 2/3) via coordination bonds, for the photo-coupled CO2RR to produce CO. The optimal Co-Bpy-COF-Ru1/2 displays a high CO Faradaic efficiency of 96.7% at -0.7 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a CO partial current density of 16.27 mA cm-2 at -1.1 V vs RHE under the assistance of light, both of which were far surpassing the values observed in the dark. The significantly enhanced activity is mainly attributed to the incorporation of a Ru(bpy)3Cl2 donor with long excited-state lifetime and concomitantly giant built-in electric field in Co-Bpy-COF-Ru1/2, which efficiently accelerate the photo-induced electron transfer from Ru(bpy)3Cl2 to the cobalt-porphyrin under the external light. Thus, the cobalt-porphyrin active sites have a longer excited-state lifetime to lower the rate-determining steps' energy occurring during the actual photo-coupled electrocatalytic CO2RR process. This is the first work of porphyrin-based COFs for photo-coupled CO2RR, opening a new frontier for the construction of efficient photo-coupled electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Cobalt phthalocyanine anchored on carbon material has attracted an enormous amount of attention due to its superior performance in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. However, the interaction between cobalt phthalocyanine and the carbon substrate remains problematic, and the role of intrinsic carbon defects is unfortunately ignored in the anchoring of cobalt phthalocyanine on carbon. Herein, new interactions between the bridging N atoms of cobalt phthalocyanine and the edge defects of carbon have been discovered, which result in a novel model of anchoring of cobalt phthalocyanine on ketjen black carbon. Such anchored cobalt phthalocyanine has been found to be responsible for superior catalysis for electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO with high selectivity and low overpotential.

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
Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have emerged as efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction owing to the synergistic effect between the binary metal sites. However, rationally modulating the electronic structure of DACs to optimize the catalytic performance remains a great challenge. Herein, we report the electronic structure modulation of three Ni2 DACs (namely, Ni2 -N7 , Ni2 -N5 C2 and Ni2 -N3 C4 ) by the regulation of the coordination environments around the dual-atom Ni2 centres. As a result, Ni2 -N3 C4 exhibits significantly improved electrocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction, not only better than the corresponding single-atom Ni catalyst (Ni-N2 C2 ), but also higher than Ni2 -N7 and Ni2 -N5 C2 DACs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the high electrocatalytic activity of Ni2 -N3 C4 for CO2 reduction could be attributed to the electronic structure modulation to the Ni centre and the resulted proper binding energies to COOH* and CO* intermediates.

Abstract
With the development of renewable energy systems, clean hydrogen is burgeoning as an optimal alternative to fossil fuels, in which its application is promising to retarding the global energy and environmental crisis. The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), capable of producing high-purity hydrogen rapidly in electrocatalytic water splitting, has received much attention. Abundant research about HER has been done, focusing on advanced electrocatalyst design with high efficiency and robust stability. As potential HER catalysts, metal nanoclusters (MNCs) have been studied extensively. They are composed of several to a hundred metal atoms, with sizes being comparable to the Fermi wavelength of electrons, that is, < 2.0 nm. Different from metal atoms/nanoparticles, they exhibit unique catalytic properties due to their quantum size effect and low-coordination environment. In this review, the activity-enhancing approaches of MNCs applied in HER electrocatalysis are mainly summarized. Furthermore, recent progress in MNCs classified with different stabilization strategies, that is, the freestanding MNCs, MNCs with organic, metal and carbon supports, are introduced. Finally, the current challenges and deficiencies of these MNCs for HER are prospected.

Abstract
Metallic phthalocyanines (MePcs) have shown their potential as catalysts for CO2 reduction reactions (CO2 RR). However, their low conductivity, easy agglomeration, and poor stability enslave the further progress of their CO2 RR applications. Herein, an integrated heterogeneous molecular catalyst through anchoring CoPc molecules on 3D nitrogen-doped vertical graphene arrays (NVG) on carbon cloth (CC) is reported. The CoPc-NVG/CC electrodes exhibit superior performance for reducing CO2 to CO with a Faradic efficiency of above 97.5% over a wide potential range (99% at an optimal potential), a very high turnover frequency of 35800 h-1 , and decent stability. It is revealed that NVG interacts with CoPc to form highly efficient channels for electron transfer from NVG to CoPc, facilitating the Co(II)/Co(I) redox of CO2 reduction. The strong coupling effect between NVG and CoPc molecules not only endows CoPc with high intrinsic activity for CO2 RR, but also enhances the stability of electrocatalysts under high potentials. This work paves an efficient approach for developing high-performance heterogeneous catalysts by using rationally designed 3D integrated graphene arrays to host molecular metallic phthalocyanines so as to ameliorate their electronic structures and engineer stable active sites.

Abstract
The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) is a promising method to realize carbon recycling and sustainable development because of its mild reaction conditions and capability to utilize the electric power generated by renewable energy such as solar, wind, or tidal energy to produce high-value-added liquid fuels and chemicals. However, it is still a great challenge to deeply understand the reaction mechanism of CO2RRs involving multiple chemical processes and multiple products due to the complexity of the traditional catalyst's surface. Organic ligand-protected metal nanoclusters (NCs) with accurate compositions and definite atom packing structures show advantages for revealing the reaction mechanism of CO2RRs. This Review focuses on the recent progress in CO2RRs catalyzed by atomically precise metal NCs, including gold, copper, and silver NCs. Particularly, the influences of charge, ligand, surface structure, doping of Au NCs, and binders on the CO2RR are discussed in detail. Meanwhile the reaction mechanisms of CO2RRs including the active sites and the key reaction intermediates are also discussed. It is expected that progress in this research area could promote the development of metal NCs and CO2RRs.

Abstract
The incorporation of charged functional groups is effective to modulate the activity of molecular complexes for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), yet long-term heterogeneous electrolysis is often hampered by catalyst leaching. Herein, an electrocatalyst of atomically thin, cobalt-porphyrin-based, ionic-covalent organic nanosheets (CoTAP-iCONs) is synthesized via a post-synthetic modification strategy for high-performance CO2 -to-CO conversion. The cationic quaternary ammonium groups not only enable the formation of monolayer nanosheets due to steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion, but also facilitate the formation of a *COOH intermediate, as suggested by theoretical calculations. Consequently, CoTAP-iCONs exhibit higher CO2 RR activity than other cobalt-porphyrin-based structures: an 870% and 480% improvement of CO current densities compared to the monomer and neutral nanosheets, respectively. Additionally, the iCONs structure can accommodate the cationic moieties. In a flow cell, CoTAP-iCONs attain a very small onset overpotential of 40 mV and a stable total current density of 212 mA cm-2 with CO Faradaic efficiency of >95% at -0.6 V for 11 h. Further coupling the flow electrolyzer with commercial solar cells yields a solar-to-CO conversion efficiency of 13.89%. This work indicates that atom-thin, ionic nanosheets represent a promising structure for achieving both tailored activity and high stability.

Abstract
The pursuit of selective two-electron oxygen reduction reaction to H2O2 in acids is demanding and largely hampered by the lack of efficient non-precious-metal-based electrocatalysts. Metal macrocycles hold promise, but have been relatively underexplored. Efforts are called for to promote their inherent catalytic activities and/or increase the surface exposure of active sites. In this contribution, we perform the high-throughput computational screening of thirty-two different metalloporphyrins by comparing their adsorption free energies towards key reaction intermediates. Cobalt porphyrin is revealed to be the optimal candidate with a theoretical overpotential as small as 40 mV. Guided by the computational predictions, we prepare hydrogen-bonded cobaltoporphyrin frameworks in order to promote the solution accessibility of catalytically active sites for H2O2 production in acids. The product features an onset potential at ~0.68 V, H2O2 selectivity of >90%, turnover frequency of 10.9 s−1 at 0.55 V and stability of ~30 h, the combination of which clearly renders it stand out from existing competitors for this challenging reaction. Guided by high-throughput computational screening, we report the preparation of hydrogen-bonded cobaltoporphyrin frameworks and demonstrate the achievement of high activity and selectivity for electrochemical H2O2 production in acid.

Abstract
The scaling-up of electrochemical CO2 reduction requires circumventing the CO2 loss as carbonates under alkaline conditions. Zero-gap cell configurations with a reverse-bias bipolar membrane (BPM) represent a possible solution, but the catalyst layer in direct contact with the acidic environment of a BPM usually leads to H2 evolution dominating. Here we show that using acid-tolerant Ni molecular electrocatalysts selective (>60%) CO2 reduction can be achieved in a zero-gap BPM device using a pure water and CO2 feed. At a higher current density (100 mA cm-2), CO selectivity decreases, but was still >30%, due to reversible product inhibition. This study demonstrates the importance of developing acid-tolerant catalysts for use in large-scale CO2 reduction devices.

Recently, two-dimensional conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) have emerged as a class of promising electrocatalysts because of their advantages including 2D layered structure with high in-plane conjugation, intrinsic electrical conductivity, permanent pores, large surface area, chemical stability, and structural diversity. In this Review, we summarize the recent advances of 2D c-MOF electrocatalysts for electrochemical energy conversion. First, we introduce the chemical design principles and synthetic strategies of the reported 2D c-MOFs, as well as the functional design for the electrocatalysis. Subsequently, we present the representative 2D c-MOF electrocatalysts in various electrochemical reactions, such as hydrogen/oxygen evolution, and reduction reactions of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. We highlight the strategies for the structural design and property tuning of 2D c-MOF electrocatalysts to boost the catalytic performance, and we offer our perspectives in regard to the challenges to be overcome.

Abstract
Applications of phthalocyanines (Pcs) in electrocatalysis-including the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)-have attracted considerable attention recently. Pcs and their derivatives are more attractive than many other macrocycles as electrocatalysts since, although they are structurally related to natural porphyrin complexes, they offer the advantages of low cost, facile synthesis and good chemical stability. Moreover, their high tailorability and structural diversity mean Pcs have great potential for application in electrochemical devices. Here we review the structure and composition of Pcs, methods of synthesis of Pcs and their analogues, as well as applications of Pc-based heterogeneous electrocatalysts. Optimization strategies for Pc-based materials for electrocatalysis of ORR, CO2RR, OER and HER are proposed, based on the mechanisms of the different electrochemical reactions. We also discuss the structure/composition-catalytic activity relationships for different Pc materials and Pc-based electrocatalysts in order to identify future practical applications. Finally, future opportunities and challenges in the use of molecular Pcs and Pc derivatives as electrocatalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Porphyrin and phthalocyanine complexes bearing single-atom catalytic sites (M-N4 ) have been explored as promising electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR), whose activity can be improved by regulating the ligands and/or the metal centers. Moreover, their photosensitive features also provide the possibility for highly efficient photoelectrocatalytic CO2 RR. Herein, a novel N'NN'-pincer-ligand (N3 )-coupled cobalt porphyrin (CoPor-N3 ) polymer is developed for realizing efficient (photo)electrocatalytic CO2 RR. The unraveled electronic structure and (photo)electrocatalytic features suggest that a synergistic effect between the electron-rich N3 ligands and the Co-N4 single-atom sites in the CoPor-N3 polymer results in the Co centers attaining more electrons, which is beneficial to facilitating the electron transfer to CO2 for the activation and reduction processes. As expected, the resultant CoPor-N3 polymer delivers a good long-term durability and high CO faradaic efficiency (96%) at an ultralow overpotential (0.39 V), which outperforms the CoPor alone and most porphyrin-/phthalocyanine-based electrocatalysts reported so far. Moreover, the photosensitivity of CoPor units can further reduce the overpotential to 0.34 V with a CO faradaic efficiency over 90% under light illumination. The present findings offer a new approach to constructing porphyrin-based photosensitive electrocatalysts with high-efficiency photoelectrocatalytic CO2 RR.

Abstract
Visible light-driven photoreduction of CO2and H2O to tunable syngas is an appealing strategy for both artificial carbon neutral and Fischer-Tropsch processes. However, the development of photocatalysts with high activity and selectivity remains challenging. For this case, we here design a hybrid catalyst, synthesized byin situdeposition of Ag crystals on GaN nanobelts, that delivers a tunable H2/CO ratio between 0.5 and 3 under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm). The obtained photocatalyst delivers a maximal turnover frequency value of 3.85 h-1and a corresponding yield rate of 2.12 mmol h-1g-1for CO production, while the photocatalytic activity keeps stable during five cycling tests. Additionally, syngas can be detected even atλ > 600 nm. Experiments and mechanistic studies reveal that the existence of Ag crystals not only extends the light absorption region but also promotes the charge transfer efficiency, and thereby leading to a photocatalytic improvement. Accordingly, the present work affords an opportunity for developing an efficient photo-driven system by using solar energy to alleviate CO2emissions.

Abstract
Developing efficient and robust heterogeneous metallophthalocyanine electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction remains a challenge. Here, a general synthetic method of zinc-metallophthalocyanine (MPc) molecular layer/polyoxometalate (POM) sandwich lamellar material is developed, and thus improved performance of electrocatalytic and photocoupled electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is achieved. The incorporation of POM could prevent the packing of MPc molecular layers from aggregation, which would be favorable to the exposure of active sites. The molecular layer sandwich catalyst presents superior CO2 reduction activity, delivering the highest CO Faradaic efficiency (FECO) of 96.1% at -0.7 V vs RHE in dark field. Under light irradiation, over 93% FECO is achieved in a broad potential range from -0.6 to -0.9 V vs RHE with a maximum of 96.2%, and the carbon monoxide turnover frequency could exceed 2060 h-1. Photoelectrochemical tests and luminescence characterizations reveal the molecular layer is beneficial for carrier separation during light irradiation; density functional theory calculations and electron paramagnetic resonance indicated a 2-fold enhancement of the external light field on the catalytic performance.

Abstract
For the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, there is an urgent need to optimize the adsorption strength of OH*. Here, a flower-like hybrid of Cr-doped FeOOH/Ni(OH)2 was used as an OER catalyst with a low overpotential of 291 mV at 50 mA cm-2. The results showed that faster charge transfer was achieved at the electrode/solution interface during the OER process after the FeOOH/Ni(OH)2 was modified by Cr, which facilitates the rate-determining step of the Volmer reaction. Furthermore, the results of faradaic efficiency and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements confirmed that the synergistic effect between the ternary metal and oxygen vacancies led to excellent OER performance. This work provides a new strategy for the preparation of high-efficiency and low-cost oxygen evolution electrocatalysts.

Abstract
It is desirable for a sustainable society that the production and utilization of renewable materials are net-zero in terms of carbon emissions. Carbon materials with emerging applications in CO2 utilization, renewable energy storage and conversion, and biomedicine have attracted much attention both academically and industrially. However, the preparation process of some new carbon materials suffers from energy consumption and environmental pollution issues. Therefore, the development of low-cost, scalable, industrially and economically attractive, sustainable carbon material preparation methods are required. In this regard, the use of biomass and its derivatives as a precursor of carbon materials is a major feature of sustainability. Recent advances in the synthetic strategy of sustainable carbon materials and their emerging applications are summarized in this short review. Emphasis is made on the discussion of the original intentions and various sustainable strategies for producing sustainable carbon materials. This review provides basic insights and significant guidelines for the further design of sustainable carbon materials and their emerging applications in catalysis and the biomedical field.

Abstract
The fabrication of Zn-CO2 batteries is a promising technique for CO2 fixation and energy storage. Herein, nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (NOMC) is adopted as a bifunctional metal-free electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction and oxygen evolution reaction in the near-neutral electrolyte. The ordered mesoporous structures and abundant N-dopings of NOMC facilitate the accessibility and utilization of the active sites, which endow NOMC with excellent electrocatalysis performance and outstanding stability. Especially, a nearly 100% CO Faradaic efficiency is achieved at an ultralow overpotential of 360 mV for CO2 reduction. When constructed as an aqueous rechargeable Zn-CO2 battery using NOMC as the cathode, it yields a high peak power density of 0.71 mW cm-2 , a good cyclability of 300 cycles, and excellent energy efficiency of 52.8% at 1.0 mA cm-2 .

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted tremendous interests due to their ultrahigh activity and selectivity. However, the rational control over coordination microenvironment of SACs remains a grand challenge. Herein, a post-synthetic metal substitution (PSMS) strategy has been developed to fabricate single-atom Ni catalysts with different N coordination numbers (denoted Ni-Nx -C) on pre-designed N-doped carbon derived from metal-organic frameworks. When served for CO2 electroreduction, the obtained Ni-N3 -C catalyst achieves CO Faradaic efficiency (FE) up to 95.6 %, much superior to that of Ni-N4 -C. Theoretical calculations reveal that the lower Ni coordination number in Ni-N3 -C can significantly enhance COOH* formation, thereby accelerating CO2 reduction. In addition, Ni-N3 -C shows excellent performance in Zn-CO2 battery with ultrahigh CO FE and excellent stability. This work opens up a new and general avenue to coordination microenvironment modulation (MEM) of SACs for CO2 utilization.

Abstract
Palladium can enable the electrochemical CO2 reduction to formate with nearly zero overpotential and good selectivity. However, it usually has very limited stability owing to CO poisoning from the side reaction intermediate. Herein, it is demonstrated that alloying palladium with silver is a viable strategy to significantly enhance the electrocatalytic stability. Palladium-silver alloy nanowires are prepared in aqueous solution with tunable chemical compositions, large aspect ratio, and roughened surfaces. Thanks to the unique synergy between palladium and silver, these nanowires exhibit outstanding electrocatalytic performances for selective formate production. Most remarkably, impressive long-term stability is measured even at < -0.4 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode where people previously believed that formate cannot be stably formed on palladium. Such stability results from the enhanced CO tolerance and selective stabilization of key reaction intermediates on alloy nanowires as supported by detailed electrochemical characterizations and theoretical computations.

Abstract
The construction of multi-heteroatom-doped metal-free carbon with a reversibly oxygen-involving electrocatalytic performance is highly desirable for rechargeable metal-air batteries. However, the conventional approach for doping heteroatoms into the carbon matrix remains a huge challenge owing to multistep postdoping procedures. Here, a self-templated carbonization strategy to prepare a nitrogen, phosphorus, and fluorine tri-doped carbon nanosphere (NPF-CNS) is developed, during which a heteroatom-enriched covalent triazine polymer serves as a "self-doping" precursor with C, N, P, and F elements simultaneously, avoiding the tedious and inefficient postdoping procedures. Introducing F enhances the electronic structure and surface wettability of the as-obtained catalyst, beneficial to improve the electrocatalytic performance. The optimized NPF-CNS catalyst exhibits a superb electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity, long-term durability in pH-universal conditions as well as outstanding oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in an alkaline electrolyte. These superior ORR/OER bifunctional electrocatalytic activities are attributed to the predesigned heteroatom catalytic active sites and high specific surface areas of NPF-CNS. As a demonstration, a zinc-air battery using the NPF-CNS cathode displays a high peak power density of 144 mW cm-2 and great stability during 385 discharging/charging cycles, surpassing that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction represents a sustainable approach for the conversion of CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals. Here, we fabricated a series of composite nanomaterials through template-oriented polymerization of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with isolated cobalt porphyrin units on amino-functionalized carbon nanotubes for efficient electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Compared with pure COFs, the hybrid form of ultrathin COF nanolayers wrapped on the conductive scaffold leads to distended current density and stable Faradaic efficiency for CO2-to-CO conversion over a wide potential range. Specifically, the catalytic performances of the system can be finely optimized by the modification of the reticular structure with different functional groups. Our work gives a new strategy for the preparation of highly active and selective electrocatalysts for CO2RR.
