Abstract
Ternary Pd-In2 O3 /ZrO2 catalysts exhibit technological potential for CO2 -based methanol synthesis, but developing scalable systems and comprehending complex dynamic behaviors of the active phase, promoter, and carrier are key for achieving high productivity. Here, we show that the structure of Pd-In2 O3 /ZrO2 systems prepared by wet impregnation evolves under CO2 hydrogenation conditions into a selective and stable architecture, independent of the order of addition of Pd and In phases on the zirconia carrier. Detailed operando characterization and simulations reveal a rapid restructuring driven by the metal-metal oxide interaction energetics. The proximity of InPdx alloy particles decorated by InOx layers in the resulting architecture prevents performance losses associated with Pd sintering. The findings highlight the crucial role of reaction-induced restructuring in complex CO2 hydrogenation catalysts and offer insights into the optimal integration of acid-base and redox functions for practical implementation.

Abstract
Palladium promotion and deposition on monoclinic zirconia are effective strategies to boost the performance of bulk In2O3 in CO2-to-methanol and could unlock superior reactivity if well integrated into a single catalytic system. However, harnessing synergic effects of the individual components is crucial and very challenging as it requires precise control over their assembly. Herein, we present ternary Pd-In2O3-ZrO2 catalysts prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) with remarkable methanol productivity and improved metal utilization, surpassing their binary counterparts. Unlike established impregnation and co-precipitation methods, FSP produces materials combining low-nuclearity palladium species associated with In2O3 monolayers highly dispersed on the ZrO2 carrier, whose surface partially transforms from a tetragonal into a monoclinic-like structure upon reaction. A pioneering protocol developed to quantify oxygen vacancies using in situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals their enhanced generation because of this unique catalyst architecture, thereby rationalizing its high and sustained methanol productivity. Assembling multicomponent catalysts to harness synergic effects is challenging. Now, flame spray pyrolysis permits the synthesis of ternary Pd-In2O3-ZrO2 catalysts with an optimal architecture and an enriched density of oxygen vacancies for maximal performance in CO2-based methanol synthesis.

Abstract
In the field of CO2 conversion, a crucial reaction for a sustainable future, controlling the selectivity to improve C–C coupling to higher products is challenging because of the notorious inertness of CO2 and the stepwise conversion that occurs on conventional catalysts. Here, we show that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts is capable of driving the selectivity in the CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons. With this strategy, we achieve an outstanding improvement in C–C coupling that results in orders of magnitude higher turnover frequencies for hydrocarbon formation compared to conventional catalysts. The conversion of CO2 into fuels and chemicals is an attractive option for mitigating CO2 emissions. Controlling the selectivity of this process is beneficial to produce desirable liquid fuels, but C–C coupling is a limiting step in the reaction that requires high pressures. Here, we propose a strategy to favor C–C coupling on a supported Ru/TiO2 catalyst by encapsulating it within the polymer layers of an imine-based porous organic polymer that controls its selectivity. Such polymer confinement modifies the CO2 hydrogenation behavior of the Ru surface, significantly enhancing the C2+ production turnover frequency by 10-fold. We demonstrate that the polymer layers affect the adsorption of reactants and intermediates while being stable under the demanding reaction conditions. Our findings highlight the promising opportunity of using polymer/metal interfaces for the rational engineering of active sites and as a general tool for controlling selective transformations in supported catalyst systems.

Abstract
The size effects of metal catalysts have been widely investigated to optimize their catalytic activity and selectivity. However, the size-controllable synthesis of uniform supported metal nanoparticles without surfactants and/or additives remains a great challenge. Herein, we developed a green, surfactant-free, and universal strategy to tailor the sizes of uniform Pd nanoparticles on metal oxides by an electroless chemical deposition method via defect engineering of supports. The nucleation and growth mechanism suggest a strong electrostatic interaction between the Pd precursor and low-defective CeO2 and a weak reducing capacity for low-defective CeO2, resulting in small Pd nanoparticles. Conversely, large Pd nanoparticles were formed on a highly defective CeO2 surface. Combined with various ex situ and in situ characterizations, a higher intrinsic activity of Pd for the CO2-to-CO hydrogenation was found on large Pd nanoparticles with higher electron density owing to their stronger H2 dissociation ability and H-spillover effects, as well as the larger number of oxygen vacancies generated in situ for CO2 activation under hydrogenation conditions.

Abstract
Gold (Au)-based nanomaterials, including nanoparticles (NPs) and nanoclusters (NCs), have shown great potential in many electrocatalytic reactions due to their excellent catalytic ability and selectivity. In recent years, Au-based nanostructured materials have been considered as one of the most promising non-platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts. The controlled synthesis of Au-based NPs and NCs and the delicate microstructure adjustment play a vital role in regulating their catalytic activity toward various reactions. This review focuses on the latest progress in the synthesis of efficient Au-based NP and NC electrocatalysts, highlighting the relationship between Au nanostructures and their catalytic activity. This review first discusses the parameters of Au-based nanomaterials that determine their electrocatalytic performance, including composition, particle size and architecture. Subsequently, the latest electrocatalytic applications of Au-based NPs and NCs in various reactions are provided. Finally, some challenges and opportunities are highlighted, which will guide the rational design of Au-based NPs and NCs as promising electrocatalysts.
