Abstract
Efficient electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) to various products, such as carbon monoxide (CO), is crucial for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and enabling renewable energy storage. In this article, we introduce Pd nanoparticles which are deposited over in-house synthesized nitrogen doped tubular carbon (NC) whose ends are blocked with cobalt oxide (CoOx). This composite material is denoted as Pd@CoOx/NC. Among the series of synthesized electrocatalysts, the optimum ratio (Pd@CoOx/NC1) within this category exhibits exceptional performance, manifesting an 81% faradaic efficiency (FE) for CO generation which was quantitatively measured using a gas chromatograph. This remarkable efficiency can be attributed to several scientific factors. Firstly, the presence of Pd nanoparticles provides active sites for CO2 reduction. Secondly, the NC offer enhanced electrical conductivity and facilitate charge transfer during the reaction. Thirdly, the CoOx capping at the ends of the NC serves to stabilize the catalyst, favoring the formation of CO. The remarkable selectivity of the catalyst is further confirmed by the qualitative CO detection method using PdCl2 strips. Pd@CoOx/NC1 exhibits a high current density of 55 mA cm-2 and a low overpotential of 251 mV, outperforming Pd decorated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Pd@MWCNTs) which shows a higher overpotential of 481 mV. Pd@CoOx/NC1 shows long-term stability at different potentials and rapid reaction kinetics. These findings highlight Pd@CoOx/NC1 as promising CO2 reduction catalysts, with implications for sustainable energy conversion techniques.

Abstract
Converting CO2 into valuable chemicals can provide a new path to mitigate the greenhouse effect, achieving the aim of "carbon neutrality" and "carbon peaking". Among numerous electrocatalysts, Zn-based materials are widely distributed and cheap, making them one of the most promising electrocatalyst materials to replace noble metal catalysts. Moreover, the Zn metal itself has a certain selectivity for CO. After appropriate modification, such as oxide derivatization, structural reorganization, reconstruction of the surfaces, heteroatom doping, and so on, the Zn-based electrocatalysts can expose more active sites and adjust the d-band center or electronic structure, and the FE and stability of them can be effectively improved, and they can even convert CO2 to multi-carbon products. This review aims to systematically describe the latest progresses of modified Zn-based electrocatalyst materials (including organic and inorganic materials) in the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (eCO2RR). The applications of modified Zn-based catalysts in improving product selectivity, increasing current density and reducing the overpotential of the eCO2RR are reviewed. Moreover, this review describes the reasonable selection and good structural design of Zn-based catalysts, presents the characteristics of various modified zinc-based catalysts, and reveals the related catalytic mechanisms for the first time. Finally, the current status and development prospects of modified Zn-based catalysts in eCO2RR are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) mesoporous metals contribute a unique class of electrocatalyst materials for electrochemical applications. The penetrated mesopores of 2D mesoporous metals expose abundant accessible undercoordinated metal sites, while their 2D nanostructures accelerate the transport of electrons and reactants. Therefore, 2D mesoporous metals have exhibited add-in structural functions with great potential in electrocatalysis that not only enhance electrocatalytic activity and stability but also optimize electrocatalytic selectivity. In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in the design, synthesis, and electrocatalytic performance of 2D mesoporous metals. Four main strategies for synthesizing 2D mesoporous metals, named the CO (and CO container) induced route, halide ion-oriented route, interfacial growth route, and metal oxide atomic reconstruction route, are presented in detail. Moreover, electrocatalytic applications in several important reactions are summarized to highlight the add-in structural functions of 2D mesoporous metals in enhancing electrochemical activity, stability, and selectivity. Finally, current challenges and future directions are discussed in this area. This Perspective offers some important insights into both fundamental investigations and practical applications of novel high-performance functional electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy enables the direct observation of individual reaction events at the surface of a catalyst. It has become a powerful tool to image in real time both intra- and interparticle heterogeneity among different nanoscale catalyst particles. Single-molecule fluorescence microscopy of heterogeneous catalysts relies on the detection of chemically activated fluorogenic probes that are converted from a nonfluorescent state into a highly fluorescent state through a reaction mediated at the catalyst surface. This review article describes challenges and opportunities in using such fluorogenic probes as proxies to develop structure-activity relationships in nanoscale electrocatalysts and photocatalysts. We compare single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to other microscopies for imaging catalysis in situ to highlight the distinct advantages and limitations of this technique. We describe correlative imaging between super-resolution activity maps obtained from multiple fluorogenic probes to understand the chemical origins behind spatial variations in activity that are frequently observed for nanoscale catalysts. Fluorogenic probes, originally developed for biological imaging, are introduced that can detect products such as carbon monoxide, nitrite, and ammonia, which are generated by electro- and photocatalysts for fuel production and environmental remediation. We conclude by describing how single-molecule imaging can provide mechanistic insights for a broader scope of catalytic systems, such as single-atom catalysts.

Abstract
Currently, Zn-based catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions are limited by their moderate carbophilicity, resulting in low catalytic activity and CO selectivity. To this end, we selected 5-mercapto-1-methylimidazole, a small molecule that possesses the ability to both coordinate to Zn and interact with the intermediates, to modify electrochemically deposited Zn nanosheets. The interaction between them effectively enhances intermediate adsorption by lowering the Gibbs free energy, which leads to an increase of the Faraday efficiency to 1.9 times and the CO partial current density to 3.0 times that of the pristine sample (-1.0 V vs. RHE).

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to value-added chemicals/fuels is an effective strategy to achieve the carbon neutral. Palladium is the only metal to selectively produce formate via CO2 RR at near-zero potentials. To reduce cost and improve activity, the high-dispersive Pd nanoparticles on hierarchical N-doped carbon nanocages (Pd/hNCNCs) are constructed by regulating pH in microwave-assisted ethylene glycol reduction. The optimal catalyst exhibits high formate Faradaic efficiency of >95% within -0.05-0.30 V and delivers an ultrahigh formate partial current density of 10.3 mA cm-2 at the low potential of -0.25 V. The high performance of Pd/hNCNCs is attributed to the small size of uniform Pd nanoparticles, the optimized intermediates adsorption/desorption on modified Pd by N-doped support, and the promoted mass/charge transfer kinetics arising from the hierarchical structure of hNCNCs. This study sheds light on the rational design of high-efficient electrocatalysts for advanced energy conversion.

Abstract
With the mechanical exfoliation of graphene in 2004, researchers around the world have devoted significant efforts to the study of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. Nowadays, 2D nanomaterials are being developed into a large family with varieties of structures and derivatives. Due to their fascinating electronic, chemical, and physical properties, 2D nanomaterials are becoming an important type of catalyst for the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR). Here, we review the recent progress in electrochemical CO2RR using 2D nanomaterial-based catalysts. First, we briefly describe the reaction mechanism of electrochemical CO2 reduction to single-carbon (C1) and multi-carbon (C2+) products. Then, we discuss the strategies and principles for applying metal materials to functionalize 2D nanomaterials, such as graphene-based materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), as well as applications of resultant materials in the electrocatalytic CO2RR. Finally, we summarize the present research advances and highlight the current challenges and future opportunities of using metal-functionalized 2D nanomaterials in the electrochemical CO2RR.

Abstract
High-entropy alloy aerogels (HEAAs) combined with the advantages of high-entropy alloys and aerogels are prospective new platforms in catalytic reactions. However, due to the differences in reduction potentials and miscibility behavior of different metals, the realization of HEAAs with a single phase is still a great challenge. Herein, a series of HEAAs is fabricated via the freeze-thaw method as highly active and durable electrocatalysts for the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR). Especially, the PdCuAuAgBiIn HEAAs can achieve Faradaic efficiency (FE) of C1 products almost 100% from -0.7 to -1.1 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (VRHE ), and a maximum FE for formic acid (FEHCOOH ) of 98.1% at -1.1 VRHE , outperforming PdCuAuAgBiIn high-entropy alloy particles (HEAPs) and Pd metallic aerogels (MAs). Specifically, the current density and FEHCOOH are almost 200 mA cm-2 and 87% in a flow cell. The impressive CO2 RR performance of the PdCuAuAgBiIn HEAAs is attributed to the strong interactions between the different metals and the surface unsaturated sites, which can regulate the electronic structures of different metals and allow the optimal HCOO* intermediate adsorption and desorption onto the catalysts surface to enhance HCOOH production. The work not only provides a facile synthetic strategy to fabricate HEAAs, but also opens the avenue for development of efficient catalysts and beyond.

Abstract
Inspired by natural photosynthesis, harnessing the wide range of natural solar energy and utilizing appropriate semiconductor-based catalysts to convert carbon dioxide into beneficial energy species, for example, CO, CH4 , HCOOH, and CH3 COH have been shown to be a sustainable and more environmentally friendly approach. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) has been regarded as a highly effective photocatalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction, owing to its cost-effectiveness, high thermal and chemical stability, visible light absorption capability, and low toxicity. However, weaker electrical conductivity, fast recombination rate, smaller visible light absorption window, and reduced surface area make this catalytic material unsuitable for commercial photocatalytic applications. Therefore, certain procedures, including elemental doping, structural modulation, functional group adjustment of g-C3 N4 , the addition of metal complex motif, and others, may be used to improve its photocatalytic activity towards effective CO2 reduction. This review has investigated the scientific community's perspectives on synthetic pathways and material optimization approaches used to increase the selectivity and efficiency of the g-C3 N4 -based hybrid structures, as well as their benefits and drawbacks on photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Finally, the review concludes a comparative discussion and presents a promising picture of the future scope of the improvements.

Abstract
AbstractPrecise understanding of interfacial metal−hydrogen interactions, especially under in operando conditions, is crucial to advancing the application of metal catalysts in clean energy technologies. To this end, while Pd-based catalysts are widely utilized for electrochemical hydrogen production and hydrogenation, the interaction of Pd with hydrogen during active electrochemical processes is complex, distinct from most other metals, and yet to be clarified. In this report, the hydrogen surface adsorption and sub-surface absorption (phase transition) features of Pd and its alloy nanocatalysts are identified and quantified under operando electrocatalytic conditions via on-chip electrical transport measurements, and the competitive relationship between electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) and hydrogen sorption kinetics is investigated. Systematic dynamic and steady-state evaluations reveal the key impacts of local electrolyte environment (such as proton donors with different pKa) on the hydrogen sorption kinetics during CO2RR, which offer additional insights into the electrochemical interfaces and optimization of the catalytic systems.

Abstract
Excessive reliance on fossil fuels has led to the release and accumulation of large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere which has raised serious concerns related to environmental pollution and global warming. One way to mitigate this problem is to electrochemically recycle CO2 to value-added chemicals or fuels using electricity from renewable energy sources. Cu is the only metallic electrocatalyst that has been shown to produce a wide range of industrially important chemicals at appreciable rates. However, low product selectivity is a fundamental issue limiting commercial applications of electrochemical CO2 reduction over Cu catalysts. Combining copper with other metals that actively contribute to the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction process can selectively facilitate generation of desirable products. Alloying Cu can alter surface binding strength through electronic and geometric effects, enhancing the availability of surface confined carbon species, and stabilising key reduction intermediates. As a result, significant research has been undertaken to design and fabricate copper-based alloy catalysts with structures that can enhance the selectivity of targeted products. In this article, progress with use of alloying strategies for development of Cu-alloy catalysts are reviewed. Challenges in achieving high selectivity and possible future directions for development of new copper-based alloy catalysts are considered.

Abstract
Given the continuous and excessive CO2 emission into the atmosphere from anthropomorphic activities, there is now a growing demand for negative carbon emission technologies, which requires efficient capture and conversion of CO2 to value-added chemicals. This review highlights recent advances in CO2 capture and conversion chemistry and processes. It first summarizes various adsorbent materials that have been developed for CO2 capture, including hydroxide-, amine-, and metal organic framework-based adsorbents. It then reviews recent efforts devoted to two types of CO2 conversion reaction: thermochemical CO2 hydrogenation and electrochemical CO2 reduction. While thermal hydrogenation reactions are often accomplished in the presence of H2, electrochemical reactions are realized by direct use of electricity that can be renewably generated from solar and wind power. The key to the success of these reactions is to develop efficient catalysts and to rationally engineer the catalyst-electrolyte interfaces. The review further covers recent studies in integrating CO2 capture and conversion processes so that energy efficiency for the overall CO2 capture and conversion can be optimized. Lastly, the review briefs some new approaches and future directions of coupling direct air capture and CO2 conversion technologies as solutions to negative carbon emission and energy sustainability.

Abstract
Understanding the reactive site/CO2/electrolyte interfacial behaviors is very crucial for the design of an advantageous CO2 electrocatalytic reduction (CO2ER) system. One important but unrevealed question is how the CO2ER process is influenced by the high concentration of HCO3-, which is deliberately added as electrolyte or from the inevitable reaction between dissolved CO2 and OH-. Here, we provide unambiguous in situ spectroscopic evidence that on Ag-based catalysts, HCO3- is apt to facilitate *OCO- generation and therefore rebalances CO2ER pathways. By employing an alternative acid electrolyte to restrict the exchange between CO2 and HCO3- and eliminating the effect of solution pH, we reveal that HCO3- can decrease the onset potential of *OCO- and promote further formate production. Theoretical calculations indicate HCO3- can stabilize the adsorption of *OCO- instead of *COOH. The renewed understanding of the role of HCO3- could facilitate the judicious selection of electrolytes to regulate the CO2ER pathway and product distribution.

Abstract
Electrochemical conversion of CO2 to fuels and chemicals as a sustainable solution for waste transformation has garnered tremendous interest to combat the fervent issue of the prevailing high atmospheric CO2 concentration while contributing to the generation of sustainable energy. Monometallic palladium (Pd) has been shown promising in electrochemical CO2 reduction, producing formate or CO depending on applied potentials. Recently, bimetallic Pd-based materials strived to fine-tune the binding affinity of key intermediates is a prominent strategy for the desired product formation from CO2 reduction. Herein, the recent emerging trends on bimetallic Pd-based electrocatalysts are reviewed, including fundamentals of CO2 electroreduction and material engineering of bimetallic Pd-electrocatalysts categorized by primary products. Modern analytical techniques on these novel electrocatalysts are also thoroughly studied to get insights into reaction mechanisms. Lastly, we deliberate over the challenges and prospects for Pd-based catalysts for electrochemical CO2 conversion.

Abstract
We report on the discovery of the first two examples of cationic palladium(II)‐oxo clusters (POCs) containing f‐metal ions, [PdII6O12M8{(CH3)2AsO2}16(H2O)8]4+ (M=CeIV, ThIV), and their physicochemical characterization in the solid state, in solution and in the gas phase. The molecular structure of the two novel POCs comprises an octahedral {Pd6O12}12− core that is capped by eight MIV ions, resulting in a cationic, cubic assembly {Pd6O12MIV8}20+, which is coordinated by a total of 16 terminal dimethylarsinate and eight water ligands, resulting in the mixed PdII‐CeIV/ThIV oxo‐clusters [PdII6O12M8{(CH3)2AsO2}16(H2O)8]4+ (M=Ce, Pd6Ce8; Th, Pd6Th8). We have also studied the formation of host‐guest inclusion complexes of Pd6Ce8 and Pd6Th8 with anionic 4‐sulfocalix[n]arenes (n=4, 6, 8), resulting in the first examples of discrete, enthalpically‐driven supramolecular assemblies between large metal‐oxo clusters and calixarene‐based macrocycles. The POCs were also found to be useful as pre‐catalysts for electrocatalytic CO2‐reduction and HCOOH‐oxidation.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals is a promising route of replacing fossil fuels by reducing CO2 emissions and minimizing its adverse effects on the climate. Tremendous efforts have been carried out for designing efficient catalyst materials to selectively produce the desired product in high yield from CO2 by the electrochemical process. In this work, a strategy is reported to enhance the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2RR) by constructing an interface between a metal-based alloy (PdIn) nanoparticle and an oxide (In2O3), which was synthesized by a facile solution method. The oxide-derived PdIn surface has shown excellent eCO2RR activity and enhanced CO selectivity with a Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 92.13% at -0.9 V (vs RHE). On the other hand, surface PdO formation due to charge transfer on the bare PdIn alloy reduces the CO2RR activity. With the support of in situ (EXAFS and IR) and ex situ (XPS, Raman) spectroscopic techniques, the optimum presence of the Pd-In-O interface has been identified as a crucial parameter for enhancing eCO2RR toward CO in a reducing atmosphere. The influence of eCO2RR duration is reported to affect the overall performance by switching the product selectivity from H2 (from water reduction) to CO (from eCO2RR) on the oxide-derived alloy surface. This work also succeeded in the multifold enhancement of the current density by employing the gas diffusion electrode (GDE) and optimizing its process parameters in a flow cell configuration.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) electroreduction offers an attractive pathway for converting CO2 to valuable fuels and chemicals. Despite the existence of some excellent electrocatalysts with superior selectivity for specific products, these reactions are conducted at low current densities ranging from several mA cm−2 to tens of mA cm−2, which are far from commercially desirable values. To extend the applications of CO2 electroreduction technology to an industrial scale, long-term operations under high current densities (over 200 mA cm−2) are desirable. In this paper, we review recent major advances toward higher current density in CO2 reduction, including: (1) innovations in electrocatalysts (engineering the morphology, modulating the electronic structure, increasing the active sites, etc.); (2) the design of electrolyzers (membrane electrode assemblies, flow cells, microchannel reactors, high-pressure cells, etc.); and (3) the influence of electrolytes (concentration, pH, anion and cation effects). Finally, we discuss the current challenges and perspectives for future development toward high current densities.

Abstract
Exploring catalyst reconstruction under the electrochemical condition is critical to understanding the catalyst structure-activity relationship as well as to design effective electrocatalysts. Herein, a PbF2 nanocluster is synthesized and its self-reconstruction under the CO2 reduction condition is investigated. F- leaching, CO2 -saturated environment, and application of a cathodic potential induce self-reconstruction of PbF2 to Pb3 (CO3 )2 (OH)2 , which effectively catalyze the CO2 reduction to formate. The in situ formed Pb3 (CO3 )2 (OH)2 discloses >80% formate Faradaic efficiencies (FEs) across a broad range of potentials and achieves a maximum formate FE of ≈90.1% at -1.2 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Kinetic studies show that the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) on the Pb3 (CO3 )2 (OH)2 is rate-limited at the CO2 protonation step, in which proton is supplied by bicarbonate (HCO3 - ) in the electrolyte. To improve the CO2 RR kinetics, the Pb3 (CO3 )2 (OH)2 is further doped with Pd (4 wt%) to enhance its HCO3 - adsorption, which leads to accelerated protonation of CO2 . Therefore, the Pd-Pb3 (CO3 )2 (OH)2 (4 wt%) reveals higher formate FEs of >90% from -0.8 to -1.2 V versus RHE and reaches a maximum formate FE of 96.5% at -1.2 V versus RHE with a current density of ≈13 mA cm-2 .

Abstract
Direct photocatalytic CO2 reduction from primary sources, such as flue gas and air, into fuels, is highly desired, but the thermodynamically favored O2 reduction almost completely impedes this process. Herein, we report on the efficacy of a composite photocatalyst prepared by hyper-crosslinking porphyrin-based polymers on hollow TiO2 surface and subsequent coordinating with Pd(II). Such composite exhibits high resistance against O2 inhibition, leading to 12% conversion yield of CO2 from air after 2-h UV-visible light irradiation. In contrast, the CO2 reduction over Pd/TiO2 without the polymer is severely inhibited by the presence of O2 ( ≥ 0.2 %). This study presents a feasible strategy, building Pd(II) sites into CO2-adsorptive polymers on hollow TiO2 surface, for realizing CO2 reduction with H2O in an aerobic environment by the high CO2/O2 adsorption selectivity of polymers and efficient charge separation for CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation on Pd(II) sites and hollow TiO2, respectively.

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction into formate acid over Pd-based catalysts under a wide potential window is a challenging task; CO poisoning commonly occurring on the vulnerable surface of Pd must be overcome. Herein, we designed a two-dimensional (2D) AuNP-in-PdNS electrocatalyst, in which the Au nanoparticles are intercalated in Pd nanosheets, for formate production under a wide potential window from -0.1 to -0.7 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode. Based on the X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) characterizations, CO accumulation detection, and CO stripping voltammetry measurements, we observed that the intercalated Au nanoparticles could effectively avoid the CO formation and boost the formate production on the Pd nanosheet surface by regulating its electronic structure.

Abstract
The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) has been considered as a promising strategy to utilize and further upgrade it to value-added chemicals, aiming at alleviating global warming. In this regard, sustainable driving forces (i.e., electricity and sunlight) have been introduced to convert CO2 into various chemical feedstocks. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) can generate carbonaceous molecules (e.g., formate, CO, hydrocarbons, and alcohols) via multiple-electron transfer. With the assistance of extra light energy, photoelectrocatalysis effectively improve the kinetics of CO2 conversion, which not only decreases the overpotentials for CO2 RR but also enhances the lifespan of photo-induced carriers for the consecutive catalytic process. Recently, rational-designed catalysts and advanced characterization techniques have emerged in these fields, which make CO2 -to-chemicals conversion in a clean and highly-efficient manner. Herein, this review timely and thoroughly discusses the recent advancements in the practical conversion of CO2 through electro- and photoelectrocatalytic technologies in the past 5 years. Furthermore, the recent studies of operando analysis and theoretical calculations are highlighted to gain systematic insights into CO2 RR. Finally, the challenges and perspectives in the fields of CO2 (photo)electrocatalysis are outlined for their further development.

Abstract
Heterostructure engineering plays a vital role in regulating the material interface, thus boosting the electron transportation pathway in advanced catalysis. Herein, a novel Bi2O3/BiO2 heterojunction catalyst was synthesized via a molten alkali-assisted dealumination strategy and exhibited rich structural dynamics for an electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2RR). By coupling in situ X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy measurements, we found that the as-synthesized Bi2O3/BiO2 heterostructure can be transformed into a novel Bi/BiO2 Mott-Schottky heterostructure, leading to enhanced adsorption performance for CO2 and *OCHO intermediates. Consequently, high selectivity toward formate larger than 95% was rendered in a wide potential window along with an optimum partial current density of -111.42 mA cm-2 that benchmarked with the state-of-the-art Bi-based ECO2RR catalysts. This work reports the construction and fruitful structural dynamic insights of a novel heterojunction electrocatalyst for ECO2RR, which paves the way for the rational design of efficient heterojunction electrocatalysts for ECO2RR and beyond.

Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formate is a viable way to reduce CO2 emissions and realize a carbon-neutral energy cycle. Although Pd can convert CO2 to formate with a high Faradaic efficiency at minimal overpotentials, it suffers from a limited and narrow potential window. Alloying is an important strategy for the catalyst design and tuning the electronic structures. Here, we report a series of PdCu bimetallic alloy catalysts with tunable compositions based on dendritic architectures. Optimal introduction of Cu atoms into the Pd matrix facilitates formate production and suppresses CO generation. In 0.1 M KHCO3 aqueous solution, our best candidate, Pd82Cu18 catalyst, delivered a high formate Faradaic efficiency of 96.0% at -0.3 V versus RHE. More interestingly, the high selectivity (>90%) toward formate maintained an enlarged electrochemical potential window of 600 mV. The ensemble effect with electronic coupling between Pd and Cu upon alloying and its induced moderate surface O-containing configuration were found to enhance the formate formation and suppress CO poisoning during CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Development of reversible and stable catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 is of great interest. Here, we elucidate the atomistic details of how a palladium electrocatalyst inhibits CO poisoning during both formic acid oxidation to carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide reduction to formic acid. We compare results obtained with a platinum single-crystal electrode modified with and without a single monolayer of palladium. We combine (high-scan-rate) cyclic voltammetry with density functional theory to explain the absence of CO poisoning on the palladium-modified electrode. We show how the high formate coverage on the palladium-modified electrode protects the surface from poisoning during formic acid oxidation, and how the adsorption of CO precursor dictates the delayed poisoning during CO2 reduction. The nature of the hydrogen adsorbed on the palladium-modified electrode is considerably different from platinum, supporting a model to explain the reversibility of this reaction. Our results help in designing catalysts for which CO poisoning needs to be avoided.

Abstract
The crystal phase of nanomaterials is one of the key parameters determining their physicochemical properties and performance in various applications. However, it still remains a great challenge to synthesize nanomaterials with different crystal phases while maintaining the same composition, size, and morphology. Here, a facile, one-pot, wet-chemical method is reported to synthesize Pd3 Sn nanorods with comparable size and morphology but different crystal phases, that is, an ordered intermetallic and a disordered alloy with L12 and face-centered cubic (fcc) phases, respectively. The crystal phase of the as-synthesized Pd3 Sn nanorods is easily tuned by altering the types of tin precursors and solvents. Moreover, the approach can also be used to synthesize ternary PdCuSn nanorods with the L12 crystal phase. When used as electrocatalysts, the L12 Pd3 Sn nanorods exhibit superior electrocatalytic performance toward the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) compared to their fcc counterpart. Impressively, compared to the L12 Pd3 Sn nanorods, the ternary L12 PdCuSn nanorods exhibit more enhanced electrocatalytic performance toward the EOR, yielding a high mass current density up to 6.22 A mgPd -1 , which is superior to the commercial Pd/C catalyst and among the best reported Pd-based EOR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
CO2 reduction catalysis plays an important role in the process of converting harmful exhaust gas into useful fuels. However, the product complexity and the difficult hydrogenation in critical steps make it difficult to find a suitable catalyst for CO2 reduction. In this work, we report homo/hetero bimetal embedded in two-dimensional materials for electrocatalysis and discovered a new descriptor. We chose β12-borophene accommodating two transition metal atoms for efficient CO2RR as a model system. We found that MnCo and VV systems are promising for CO2 reduction with good stability and high selectivity over HER. Through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, we discovered a new integrated descriptor containing the spin moment of the metals and the descriptor is linked with the performance of the first step of CO2 hydrogenation. The MnCo system could catalyze a C1 process with low free energy change of the rate determining step. The VV system could also conduct the C2 process with low free energy change of the rate determining step. Bader charge analysis shows the ability of the borophene substrate to provide or hold electrons. This work demonstrates homonuclear and heteronuclear biatomic catalysts with high activity for CO2RR.

Abstract
3D Pd aerogels with a controllable homojunction density are synthesized using an innovative melting-casting technology. The homojunction-rich Pd aerogels selectively reduce CO2 to CO with a 92.3% faradaic efficiency and durability over 10 h, benefiting from the strong coupling between the electrons and the adsorbed intermediates at the phase-mismatch interface.

Abstract
Exploiting the high surface-area-to-volume ratio of nanomaterials to store energy in the form of electrochemical alloys is an exceptionally promising route for achieving high-rate energy storage and delivery. Nanoscale palladium hydride is an excellent model system for understanding how nanoscale-specific properties affect the absorption and desorption of energy carrying equivalents. Hydrogen absorption and desorption in shape-controlled Pd nanostructures does not occur uniformly across the entire nanoparticle surface. Instead, hydrogen absorption and desorption proceed selectively through high-activity sites at the corners and edges. Such a mechanism hinders the hydrogen absorption rates and greatly reduces the benefit of nanoscaling the dimensions of the palladium. To solve this, we modify the surface of palladium with an ultrathin platinum shell. This modification nearly removes the barrier for hydrogen absorption (89 kJ/mol without a Pt shell and 1.8 kJ/mol with a Pt shell) and enables diffusion through the entire Pd/Pt surface.

Abstract
Traditional trial and error approaches to search for hydrogen/oxygen redox catalysts with high activity and stability are typically tedious and inefficient. There is an urgent need to identify the most important parameters that determine the catalytic performance and so enable the development of design strategies for catalysts. In the past decades, several descriptors have been developed to unravel structure-performance relationships. This Minireview summarizes reactivity descriptors in electrocatalysis including adsorption energy descriptors involving reaction intermediates, electronic descriptors represented by a d-band center, structural descriptors, and universal descriptors, and discusses their merits/limitations. Understanding the trends in electrocatalytic performance and predicting promising catalytic materials using reactivity descriptors should enable the rational construction of catalysts. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have also been adopted to discover new and advanced descriptors. Finally, linear scaling relationships are analyzed and several strategies proposed to circumvent the established scaling relationships and overcome the constraints imposed on the catalytic performance.

Abstract
The multi-electron reduction of CO2 to hydrocarbons or alcohols is highly attractive in a sustainable energy economy, and the rational design of electrocatalysts is vital to achieve these reactions efficiently. Single-atom electrocatalysts are promising candidates due to their well-defined coordination configurations and unique electronic structures, which are critical for delivering high activity and selectivity and may accelerate the explorations of the activity origin at atomic level as well. Although much effort has been devoted to multi-electron reduction of CO2 on single-atom electrocatalysts, there are still no reviews focusing on this emerging field and constructive perspectives are also urgent to be addressed. Herein recent advances in how to design efficient single-atom electrocatalysts for multi-electron reduction of CO2 , with emphasis on strategies in regulating the interactions between active sites and key reaction intermediates, are summarized. Such interactions are crucial in designing active sites for optimizing the multi-electron reduction steps and maximizing the catalytic performance. Different design strategies including regulation of metal centers, single-atom alloys, non-metal single-atom catalysts, and tandem catalysts, are discussed accordingly. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities for deep electroreduction of CO2 are proposed.
