Abstract
Replacing the oxygen evolution reaction with the alcohols oxidation reaction (AOR) in electrolytic water is not only expected to reduce the overall energy consumption, but also realize the green synthesis of high value-added chemicals. However, designing high-activity electrocatalysts toward AOR yet faces a daunting challenge due to the indefinite conversion mechanism of different alcohols. Herein, a self-supported N-CoFeP/NF electrocatalyst on a nickel foam is synthesized via hydrothermal method, followed by low temperature nitriding and phosphating. The N-CoFeP/NF exhibits a fine nanorod nanostructure and high crystallinity. The AOR using N-CoFeP/NF catalysts requires a significantly lower potential (1.38-1.42 V vs. RHE) at 100 mA cm-2, reducing the energy input and the improvement of the overall efficiency. Moreover, alcohols with secondary hydroxyl groups located in the middle of the carbon chain underwent CC bond breakage during oxidation, yielding primarily formic acid (FE = 74 %) and acetic acid (FE = 50 %), which exhibits more attractive performance than alcohols with primary hydroxyl groups located at the end group did not undergo chemical bond breakage at a high current density of 400 mA cm-2. This study provides a novel and effective method to design TMPs and the selection of alcohols for anodic reaction, which can be used as a versatile strategy to improve the performance of anodic AOR coupled hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
Electrochemical glycerol oxidation features an attractive approach of converting bulk chemicals into high-value products such as glyceric acid. Nonetheless, to date, the major product selectivity has mostly been limited as low-value C1 products such as formate, CO, and CO2, due to the fast cleavage of carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds during electro-oxidation. Herein, the study develops an atomically ordered Ni3Sn intermetallic compound catalyst, in which Sn atoms with low carbon-binding and high oxygen-binding capability allow to tune the adsorption of glycerol oxidation intermediates from multi-valent carbon binding to mono-valent carbon binding, as well as enhance *OH binding and subsequent nucleophilic attack. The Ni3Sn electrocatalyst exhibits one of the highest glycerol-to-glyceric acid performances, including a high glycerol conversion rate (1199 µmol h-1) and glyceric acid selectivity (62 ± 3%), a long electrochemical stability of > 150 h, and the capability of direct conversion of crude glycerol (85% purity) into glyceric acid. The work features the rational design of highly ordered catalytic sites for tailoring intermediate binding and reaction pathways, thereby facilitating the efficient production of high-value chemical products.

Abstract
Defect-engineered bimetallic oxides exhibit high potential for the electrolysis of small organic molecules. However, the ambiguity in the relationship between the defect density and electrocatalytic performance makes it challenging to control the final products of multi-step multi-electron reactions in such electrocatalytic systems. In this study, controllable kinetics reduction is used to maximize the oxygen vacancy density of a Cu─Co oxide nanosheet (CuCo2O4 NS), which is used to catalyze the glycerol electrooxidation reaction (GOR). The CuCo2O4-x NS with the highest oxygen-vacancy density (CuCo2O4-x-2) oxidizes C3 molecules to C1 molecules with selectivity of almost 100% and a Faradaic efficiency of ≈99%, showing the best oxidation performance among all the modified catalysts. Systems with multiple oxygen vacancies in close proximity to each other synergistically facilitate the cleavage of C─C bonds. Density functional theory calculations confirm the ability of closely spaced oxygen vacancies to facilitate charge transfer between the catalyst and several key glycolic-acid (GCA) intermediates of the GOR process, thereby facilitating the decomposition of C2 intermediates to C1 molecules. This study reveals qualitatively in tuning the density of oxygen vacancies for altering the reaction pathway of GOR by the synergistic effects of spatial proximity of high-density oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
Developing high-activity electrocatalysts is of great significance for the commercialization of direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs), but it still faces challenges. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) porous PdPtBiTe dumbbells (DBs) were successfully fabricated via the visible photoassisted method. The alloying effect, defect-rich surface/interface and nanoscale cavity, and open pores make the 3D PdPtBiTe DBs a comprehensive and remarkable electrocatalyst for the C1-C3 alcohol (ethanol, ethylene glycol, glycerol, and methanol) oxidation reaction (EOR, EGOR, GOR, and MOR, respectively) in an alkaline electrolyte, and the results of in situ Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed a superior C-C bond cleavage ability. The 3D PdPtBiTe DBs exhibit ultrahigh EOR, EGOR, GOR, and MOR mass activities of 25.4, 23.2, 16.8, and 18.3 A mgPd + Pt-1, respectively, considerably surpassing those of the commercial Pt/C and Pd/C. Moreover, the mass peak power densities of 3D PdPtBiTe DBs in actual ethanol, ethylene glycol, glycerol, or methanol fuel cells increase to 409.5, 501.5, 558.0, or 601.3 mW mgPd + Pt-1 in O2, respectively. This study provides a new class of multimetallic nanomaterials as state-of-the-art multifunctional anode electrocatalysts for actual DAFCs.

Abstract
The low-potential furfural oxidation reaction (FFOR) on a Cu-based electrocatalyst can produce H2 at the anode, thereby providing a bipolar H2 production system with an ultralow cell voltage. However, the intrinsic activity and stability of the Cu-based electrocatalyst for the FFOR remain unsatisfactory for practical applications. This study investigates the correlation between the valence state and the adsorption behavior of the Cu-based electrocatalyst in furfural oxidation. Cu0 is the adsorption site with low intrinsic activity. Cu+ , which exists in the form of Cu(OH)ads in alkaline electrolytes, has no adsorption ability but can improve the performance of Cu0 by promoting the adsorption of FF. Moreover, a mixed-valence Cu-based electrocatalyst (MV Cu) with high intrinsic activity and stability is prepared electrochemically. With the MV Cu catalyst, the assembled dual-side H2 production electrolyzer has a low electricity requirement of only 0.24 kWh mH2 -3 at an ultralow cell voltage of 0.3 V, and it exhibits sufficient stability. This study not only correlates the valence state with the adsorption behavior of the Cu-based electrocatalyst for the low-potential FFOR with anodic H2 production but also reveals the mechanism of deactivation to provide design principles for Cu-based electrocatalysts with satisfactory stability.

Abstract
Glycerol-assisted hybrid water electrolysis is a potential strategy to achieve energy-efficient hydrogen production. However, the design of an efficient catalyst for the specific reaction is still a key challenge, which suffers from the barrier of regulating the adsorption characteristics of distinctive intermediates in different reactions. Herein, a novel rationale that achieves selective adsorption behavior modulation for self-supported nickel selenide electrode by heteroatom implantation and heterointerface construction through electrodeposition is developed, which can realize nichetargeting optimization on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR), respectively. Specifically, the prepared Mo-doped Ni3 Se2 electrode exhibits superior catalytic activity for HER, while the NiSe-Ni3 Se2 electrode exhibits high Faradaic efficiency (FE) towards formate production for GOR. A two-electrode electrolyzer exhibits superb activity that only needs an ultralow cell voltage of 1.40 V to achieve 40 mA cm-2 with a high FE (97%) for formate production. Theoretical calculation unravels that the introduction of molybdenum contributes to the deviation of the d-band center of Ni3 Se2 from the Fermi level, which is conducive to hydrogen desorption. Meanwhile, the construction of the heterojunction induces the distortion of the surface structure of nickel selenide, which exposes highly active nickel sites for glycerol adsorption, thus contributing to the excellent electrocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Among various methods of developing hydrogen energy, electrocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is one of the approaches to achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions. It is of great significance to develop highly active and stable catalysts to improve the efficiency of hydrogen production. In recent years, the construction of nanoscale heterostructure electrocatalysts through interface engineering can not only overcome the shortcomings of single-component materials to effectively improve their electrocatalytic efficiency and stability but also adjust the intrinsic activity or design synergistic interfaces to improve catalytic performance. Among them, some researchers proposed to replace the slow oxygen evolution reaction at the anode with the oxidation reaction of renewable resources such as biomass to improve the catalytic efficiency of the overall water splitting. The existing reviews in the field of electrocatalysis mainly focus on the relationship between the interface structure, principle, and principle of catalytic reaction, and some articles summarize the performance and improvement schemes of transition metal electrocatalysts. Among them, few studies are focusing on Fe/Co/Ni-based heterogeneous compounds, and there are fewer summaries on the oxidation reactions of organic compounds at the anode. To this end, this paper comprehensively describes the interface design and synthesis, interface classification, and application in the field of electrocatalysis of Fe/Co/Ni-based electrocatalysts. Based on the development and application of current interface engineering strategies, the experimental results of biomass electrooxidation reaction (BEOR) replacing anode oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are discussed, and it is feasible to improve the overall electrocatalytic reaction efficiency by coupling with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In the end, the challenges and prospects for the application of Fe/Co/Ni-based heterogeneous compounds in water splitting are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Pt-based bimetallic electrocatalysts are promising candidates to convert surplus glycerol from the biodiesel industry to value-added chemicals and coproduce hydrogen. It is expected that the nature and content of the elements in the bimetallic catalyst can not only affect the reaction kinetics but also influence the product selectivity, providing a way to increase the yield of the desired products. Hence, in this work, we investigate the electrochemical oxidation of glycerol on a series of PtNi nanoparticles with increasing Ni content using a combination of physicochemical structural analysis, electrochemical measurements, operando spectroscopic techniques, and advanced product characterizations. With a moderate Ni content and a homogenously alloyed bimetallic Pt-Ni structure, the PtNi2 catalyst displayed the highest reaction activity among all materials studied in this work. In situ FTIR data show that PtNi2 can activate the glycerol molecule at a more negative potential (0.4 V RHE) than the other PtNi catalysts. In addition, its surface can effectively catalyze the complete C-C bond cleavage, resulting in lower CO poisoning and higher stability. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy suggest that glycerol adsorbs strongly onto surface Ni(OH) x sites, preventing their oxidation and activation of oxygen or hydroxyl from water. As such, we propose that the role of Ni in PtNi toward glycerol oxidation is to tailor the electronic structure of the pure Pt sites rather than a bifunctional mechanism. Our experiments provide guidance for the development of bimetallic catalysts toward highly efficient, selective, and stable glycerol oxidation reactions.

Abstract
A variation in the size of metal nanoparticles leads to a difference in their properties. As the size of metal nanoparticles decreases, the surface area increases which leads to an increase in the reactivity of metal nanoparticles. Metals like Au, Ag, Pd, and Pt have interesting properties when used in nanometric dimensions. They function efficiently in significant industrial processes as electrocatalysts and photocatalysts in various organic reactions. Recently, the green biosynthesis of nanoparticles has attracted the attention of researchers. With environmental pollution rising over the past few decades, metal nanoparticle catalysts could be the key to subdue the toxic effects. Being versatile, they can be used to degrade pollutants, develop solar cells, convert toxic nitroaromatic compounds, significantly reduce CO2 emissions per unit of energy, and many more. Owing to their unique properties, nanoparticles have wide applications in biomedicine, for example, gold cages are promising agents for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Transition metal-oxide nanoparticles have been considered one of the best supercapacitor electrodes with high electrochemical performance. In this review, we have summarised fundamental concepts of metal nanoparticles over the last decade's main emphasis from 2010 to 2021. It focuses on the exceptional use of these nanocatalysts in various organic reactions. Additionally, we have also discussed the utility of these reactions and their crucial role in solving the problems of today. Through this article, we hope to provide the necessary framework needed to further advance the applications of metal nanoparticles as catalysts.

Abstract
The combination of energy and chemical conversion can be achieved by designing glycerol fuel cells. However, the anode must promote the reaction at onset potentials low enough to allow a spontaneous reaction, when coupled to the cathodic reaction, and must be selective. Here, we build a three-dimensional (3D)-printed glycerol microfluidic fuel cell that produces power concomitantly to glycolate and formate at zero bias. The balance between energy and the two carbonyl compounds is tuned by decorating the Pt/C/CP anode in situ (before feeding the cell reactants) or in operando (while feeding the cell with reactants) with Bi. The Bi-modified anodes improve glycerol conversion and output power while decreasing the formation of the carbonyl compounds. The in operando method builds dendrites of rodlike Bi oxides that are inactive for the anodic reaction and cover active sites. The in situ strategy promotes homogeneous Bi decoration, decreasing activation losses, increasing the open-circuit voltage to 1.0 V, and augmenting maximum power density 6.5 times and the glycerol conversion to 72% at 25 °C while producing 0.2 mmoL L-1 of glycolate and formate (each) at 100 μL min-1. Such a performance is attributed to the low CO poisoning of the anode, which leads the glycerol electrooxidation toward a more complete reaction, harvesting more electrons at the device. Printing the microfluidic fuel cell takes 23 min and costs ∼US$1.85 and can be used for other coupled reactions since the methods of modification presented here are applied to any existing and assembled systems.

Abstract
For the purpose of acquiring highly sensitive and differential spectra in in situ electrochemical nuclear magnetic resonance (EC-NMR) spectroscopy, uniform distributions of amplitudes and phases of radio frequency (RF) fields in the sample are needed for consistent flip angles of all nuclei under scrutiny. However, intrinsic electromagnetic incompatibility exists between such requirements with electric properties of the conductive material in an electrolytic cell, including metallic electrodes and ionic electrolytes. This proposed work presents the adverse repercussions of gradually varying electrolyte conductivity, which is strongly associated with the change of ion concentrations in a real-time electrochemical reaction, on spatial distributions of RF field amplitude and phase in the detective zone of an NMR probe coil. To compensate for such a non-linear trend of the spatial dependent distribution, we eliminate different excitation effects of the RF field on the build-in external standard and the electrolyte both situated in nearly the same detection area, as well as promote the greater accuracy of quantitative determination of reactant concentrations. The reliability and effectiveness of the improved in situ EC-qNMR (quantitative NMR) method are confirmed by the real-time monitoring of the electrochemical advanced oxidation process for phenol, in which instant concentrations of reactants and products are detected simultaneously to verify the degradation reaction scheme of phenol.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic hydrogen production under acidic conditions is of great importance for industrialization in comparison to that in alkaline media, which, unfortunately, still remains challenging due to the lack of earth-abundant, cost-effective and highly active anodic electrocatalysts that can be used durably under strongly acidic conditions. Here we report an unexpected finding that manganese oxide, a kind of common non-noble catalysts easily soluble in acidic solutions, can be applied as a highly efficient and extremely durable anodic electrocatalyst for hydrogen production from an acidic aqueous solution of alcohols. Particularly in a glycerol solution, a potential of as low as 1.36 V (vs. RHE) is needed at 10 mA cm-2 , which is 270 mV lower than that of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), to oxidize glycerol into value-added chemicals such as formic acid, without oxygen production. To our surprise, the manganese oxide exhibits extremely high stability for electrocatalytic hydrogen production in coupling with glycerol oxidation for longer than 865 hours compared to shorter than 10 h for OER. Moreover, the effect of the addition of glycerol on the electrochemical durability has been probed via in situ Raman spectroscopic analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work demonstrates that acid-unstable metal oxide electrocatalysts can be used robustly in acidic media under the presence of certain substances for electrochemical purposes, such as hydrogen production.

Abstract
Alloying of Pt with Ru to form ultrafine and well-defined PtRu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) for synergistically electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution is highly desirable but remains a synthetic challenge. Here, we report a strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA)-assisted fabrication of ultrafine and homogeneously distributed PtRu alloy NPs using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium-derived carbon (EC) as a matrix. The O, N-rich EC with a hierarchically macro/meso/microporous structure and the SEA-assisted formation of the [Ru(bpy)3][PtCl6] complex ensure the successful generation of ultrasmall PtRu alloy NPs (2.93 nm in diameter) with high dispersion. The optimal PtRu/EC-700 delivers excellent electrocatalytic properties with an ultralow overpotential (η10 = 18 mV), robust durability and good long-term stability for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The ultrasmall PtRu alloy NPs with rich surface sites, the synergistic catalysis effect between Pt and Ru and the hierarchically macro/meso/microporous structure of O, N-rich EC cooperatively enhance the HER performance of PtRu/EC-700. This study provides an easy but effective way to construct metal alloy NPs with an ultrafine size and high dispersity for catalytic applications.

Abstract
In the most recent decade, glycerol electrooxidation (GEOR) has attracted extensive research interest for valorization of glycerol: the conversion of glycerol to value-added products. These reactions at platinum, palladium, and gold electrodes have a lot of uncertainty in their reaction mechanisms, which has generated some controversies. This review gathers many reported experimental results, observations and proposed reaction mechanisms in order to draw a full picture of GEOR. A particular focus is the clarification of two propositions: Pd is inferior to Pt in cleaving the C-C bonds of glycerol during the electrooxidation and the massive production of CO2 at high overpotentials is due to the oxidation of the already-oxidized carboxylate products. It is concluded that the inferior C-C bond cleavability with Pd electrodes, as compared with Pt electrodes, is due to the inefficiency of deprotonation, and the massive generation of CO2 as well as other C1/C2 side products is partially caused by the consumption of OH- at the anodes, as a lower pH reduces the amount of carboxylates and favors the C-C bond scission. A reaction mechanism is proposed in this review, in which the generation of side products are directly from glycerol ("competition" between each side product) rather than from the further oxidation of C2/C3 products. Additionally, GEOR results and associated interpretations for Ni electrodes are presented, as well as a brief review on the performances of multi-metallic electrocatalysts (most of which are nanocatalysts) as an introduction to these future research hotpots.

Abstract
Diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) serves as a noninvasive spectroscopic method for studying intact mixtures and identifying individual components present in mixtures according to their diffusion behaviors. However, DOSY techniques generally fail to discriminate complex compositions which exhibit crowded or overlapped NMR signals, particularly under adverse magnetic field conditions. Herein, we exploit the spatially selective pure shift-based DOSY strategy to address this challenge by eliminating inhomogeneous line broadenings and extracting pure shift singlets, thereby expediting diffusion analyses on complex mixtures. More importantly, this strategy is further applied to observing and analyzing electro-oxidation processes of blended alcohols, suggesting its potential to monitoring in situ electrochemical reactions. This study demonstrates a meaningful NMR trial for diffusion analysis on complex mixtures under adverse experimental circumstances, and particularly, it provides a proof-of-concept technique for electrochemical studies and shows promising prospects for applications in chemistry, biology, energy, etc.

Abstract
The combination of a fuel cell and photocatalysis in the same device, called a photo fuel cell, is the next generation of energy converters. These systems aim to convert organic pollutants and oxidants into energy using solar energy as the driving force. However, they are mostly designed in conventional stationary batch systems, generating low power besides being barely applicable. In this context, membraneless microfluidics allows the use of flow, porous electrodes, and mixed media, improving reactant utilization and output power accordingly. Here, we report an unprecedented reusable three-dimensional (3D) printed microfluidic photo fuel cell (μpFC) assembled with low-content PtOx/Pt dispersed on a BiVO4 photoanode and a Pt/C dark cathode, both immobilized on carbon paper. We use fused deposition modeling for additive manufacturing a US$ 2.5 μpFC with a polylactic acid filament. The system shows stable colaminar flow and a short time light distance. As a proof-of-concept, we used the pollutant-model rhodamine B as fuel, and O2 in an acidic medium at the cathode side. The mixed-media 3D printed μpFC with porous electrodes produces remarkable 0.48 mW cm-2 and 4.09 mA cm-2 as maximum power and current densities, respectively. The system operates continuously for more than 5 h and converts 73.6% rhodamine by photoelectrochemical processes. The 3D printed μpFC developed here shows promising potential for pollutant mitigation concomitantly to power generation, besides being a potential platform of tests for new (photo)electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The development of efficient catalysts for ethanol oxidation in alkaline medium requires a synthetic approach that may prevent the surfactant molecules from being adsorbed at the catalytic sites and decreasing the electrochemical performance of the final direct ethanol fuel cell. Toward this goal, the recently reported surfactant-less Bromide Anion Exchange (BAE) method, appears as a promising route to conveniently aim at preparing PtRh alloys dispersed on carbon substrates. The catalysts prepared herein by the BAE method were characterized physicochemically to obtain structural information on the PtRh/C nanomaterials, their morphology (size and shape), and their chemical and surface composition. Electrochemical behavior and properties of these electrodes were then investigated in a half-cell before the implementation of a direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) in a home-made anion exchange membrane Teflon cell. The analysis of the electrolytic solution in the anodic compartment by chromatography revealed that acetate was the major reaction product and the carbonate amount increased with the Rh content in the bimetallic composition. With 2.8–3.6 nm particle sizes, the Pt50Rh50/C catalyst exhibited the highest activity towards the ethanol electrooxidation. The development of efficient catalysts for ethanol oxidation in alkaline medium requires an approach that avoids surfactant molecules from being adsorbed at active sites and decreasing the electrochemical performance of the direct ethanol fuel cell.![]()

Abstract
A series of platinum-palladium-silver nanoparticles with tunable structures were synthesized for glycerol electro-oxidation in both alkaline and acidic solutions. Electrochemical results indicate that the catalysts show superior activity in alkaline solutions relative to acidic solutions. In alkaline solutions, the peak current densities of ammonia-etched samples are approximately twice those of saturated-NaCl-etched samples. Ammonia-etched platinum-palladium-silver (PtPd@Ag-NH3) exhibits a peak current density of 9.16 mA cm-2, which is 18.7 and 10 times those of the Pt/C and Pd/C, respectively. The product distribution was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Seven products including oxalic acid, tartronic acid, glyoxylic acid, glyceric acid (GLA), glyceraldehyde (GALD), glycolic acid, and dihydroxyacetone (DHA) were detected. The NH3·H2O etched samples tend to generate more GALD, while the NaCl etched samples have a great potential to produce DHA. The addition of Pd atoms can facilitate glycerol oxidation pathway towards the direction of GALD generation. The Pt@Ag-NaCl possesses the largest DHA selectivity of 79.09% at 1.3 V, while the Pt@Ag-NH3 exhibits the largest GLA selectivity of 45.01% at 0.5 V. The PtPd@Ag-NH3 exhibits the largest C3/C2 ratio of 17.45. The selectivity and product distribution of glycerol electro-oxidation can be tuned by engineering the surface atoms of the as-synthesized catalysts.

Abstract
Spinel oxide NiCo2O4 supported on a three-dimensional hierarchically porous graphene-like carbon (3D HPG) material has been firstly used to enhance the activity of Pt for glycerol electrooxidation. The addition of NiCo2O4 into the Pt/HPG catalyst can significantly improve the catalytic performance for glycerol oxidation. When NiCo2O4 is added to the Pt/HPG catalyst, the onset potential is 25 mV more negative than that on the Pt/HPG catalyst without NiCo2O4. The current density at -0.3 V on the Pt-NiCo2O4 (wt 10 : 1)/HPG electrode is 1.3 times higher than that on the Pt (30 wt%)/HPG electrode. The Pt-NiCo2O4 electrode presented in this work shows great potential as an electrocatalyst for glycerol electrooxidation in an alkaline medium.

Abstract
Simultaneous highly efficient production of hydrogen and conversion of biomass into value-added products is meaningful but challenging. Herein, a porous nanospindle composed of carbon-encapsulated MoO2 -FeP heterojunction (MoO2 -FeP@C) is proposed as a robust bifunctional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and biomass electrooxidation reaction (BEOR). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and theoretical calculations confirm the electron transfer from MoO2 to FeP at the interfaces, where electron accumulation on FeP favors the optimization of H2 O and H* absorption energies for HER, whereas hole accumulation on MoO2 is responsible for improving the BEOR activity. Thanks to its interfacial electronic structure, MoO2 -FeP@C exhibits excellent HER activity with an overpotential of 103 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 48 mV dec-1 . Meanwhile, when 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is chosen as the biomass for BEOR, the conversion is almost 100%, and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is obtained with the selectivity of 98.6%. The electrolyzer employing MoO2 -FeP@C for cathodic H2 and anodic FDCA production requires only a low voltage of 1.486 V at 10 mA cm-2 and can be powered by a solar cell (output voltage: 1.45 V). Additionally, other BEORs coupled with HER catalyzed by MoO2 -FeP@C also have excellent catalytic performance, implying their good versatility.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts are promising platforms for heterogeneous catalysis, especially for clean energy conversion, storage, and utilization. Although great efforts have been made to examine the bonding and oxidation state of single-atom catalysts before and/or after catalytic reactions, when information about dynamic evolution is not sufficient, the underlying mechanisms are often overlooked. Herein, we report the direct observation of the charge transfer and bond evolution of a single-atom Pt/C3 N4 catalyst in photocatalytic water splitting by synchronous illumination X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Specifically, under light excitation, we observed Pt-N bond cleavage to form a Pt0 species and the corresponding C=N bond reconstruction; these features could not be detected on the metallic platinum-decorated C3 N4 catalyst. As expected, H2 production activity (14.7 mmol h-1 g-1 ) was enhanced significantly with the single-atom Pt/C3 N4 catalyst as compared to metallic Pt-C3 N4 (0.74 mmol h-1 g-1 ).

Abstract
Developing high-performance electrocatalysts for the selective conversion of glycerol into value-added chemicals is of great significance. Herein, three-dimensional nanoporous PtAg skeletons were studied as catalysts for the electro-oxidation of glycerol. The structural features of the PtAg skeletons were revealed by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The electrochemical activity of the catalysts was examined by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweeping voltammetry, and chronoamperometry. The resulting PtAg skeletons exhibit a peak current density of 7.57 mA cm-2, which is 15.4-fold higher than that of Pt/C, making the PtAg skeletons one of the best electrocatalysts for glycerol oxidation. High-performance liquid chromatography results show that the PtAg skeletons yield a remarkable dihydroxyacetone selectivity of 82.6%, which has so far been the second largest value reported in the literature. The superior activity and selectivity of the PtAg skeletons are ascribed to the large surface area and abundant Pt(111) facets. Additionally, the effects of glycerol and KOH concentrations and reaction time on product selectivity were investigated.

Abstract
Glycerol is one of the most crucial by-products in the production of biodiesel, and owing to its oversaturation in the market, several synthetic strategies have been developed to transform it into other higher value-added products such as glycerol carbonate, epichlorohydrin, 1,3-propanediol, etc. Amongst them, glycerol carbonate is considered to be the most valuable product. Considering the facile separation and reusability of catalyst, heterogeneous base catalysts have attracted considerable attention due to the obvious advantages over Brϕnsted acid and homogeneous base catalysts in the transesterification of glycerol. Herein, we will give a short overview on the recent development of the heterogeneous catalysis in the transesterification of glycerol with dialkyl carbonate. Focus will be concentrated on the heterogeneous base catalysts including alkaline-earth metal oxides (MgO, CaO, and mixed oxides), hydrotalcites, zeolites, clinoptilolites, organic bases, etc. Their catalytic mechanisms during the heterogeneous process will be elucidated in detail.

Promoted Glycerol Oxidation Reaction in an Interface-Confined Hierarchically Structured Catalyst. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2019; 31:e1804763.

Abstract
Confined catalysis in a 2D system is of particular interest owing to the facet control of the catalysts and the anisotropic kinetics of reactants, which suppress side reactions and improve selectivity. Here, a 2D-confined system consisting of intercalated Pt nanosheets within few-layered graphene is demonstrated. The strong metal-substrate interaction between the Pt nanosheets and the graphene leads to the quasi-2D growth of Pt with a unique (100)/(111)/(100) faceted structure, thus providing excellent catalytic activity and selectivity toward one-carbon (C1) products for the glycerol oxidation reaction. A hierarchically porous graphene architecture, grown on carbon cloth, is used to fabricate the confined catalyst bed in order to enhance the mass-diffusion limitation in interface-confined reactions. Owing to its unique 3D porous structure, this graphene-confined Pt catalyst exhibits an extraordinary mass activity of 2910 mA mgPt -1 together with a formate selectivity of 79% at 60 °C. This paves the way toward rational designs of heterogeneous catalysts for energy-related applications.
