Abstract
Photocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction for high-value hydrocarbon fuel production is a promising strategy to tackle global energy demand and climate change. However, this technology faces formidable challenges, primarily stemming from low yield and poor selectivity of C2 products of the desired hydrocarbon fuels. This study reported ZnO/ZnCo2O4 Janus hollow nanofibers (ZnO/ZCO JHNFs) prepared by electrospinning and atomic layer deposition. Photocatalytic tests revealed an ethanol yield of 4.99 μmol g-1 h-1 for ZnO/ZnCo2O4 JHNFs, surpassing mixed ZnO/ZnCo2O4 nanofibers (ZnO/ZCO NFs) by 4.35 times and pure ZnO by 12.7 times. The selectivity of 58.8% is 2.38 and 4.49 times higher than those of ZnO/ZnCo2O4 NFs and ZnO, respectively. These enhancements are attributed to efficient carrier separation facilitated by the ordered internal electric field of the Z-scheme heterojunction interface, validated by the energy band evaluations from experimentation and density functional theory (DFT) simulations and charge separation characterizations of photocurrent, impedance, and photoluminescence spectra. The Janus structure also effectively exposes the surface of ZnCo2O4 to CO2 molecules, increasing the active site availability, as confirmed by BET nitrogen adsorption/desorption, temperature-programmed desorption tests, and DFT adsorption energy calculations. This study proposes a novel approach for efficient photocatalytic hydrocarbon fuel production, with potential applications in energy and climate crisis mitigation.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent, yet ensuring safe and precise CO delivery remains challenging. Here, we report a removable hydrogel-forming microneedle (MN) reactor for CO delivery via photocatalysis, with an emphasis on chemosensitization. Upon application, body fluids absorbed by the MNs dissolve the effervescent agents, leading to the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and triggering the release of the chemotherapeutics cisplatin. Meanwhile, the photocatalysts (PCs) trapped within MNs convert CO2 to CO under 660 nm light irradiation. These PCs can be removed by hydrogel-forming MNs, thereby mitigating potential biological risks associated with residual PCs. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that MN-mediated CO delivery significantly improved tumor sensitivity to cisplatin by suppressing DNA repair, using an A375/CDDP melanoma model. This removable photocatalysis MN reactor offers safe and precise local delivery of CO, potentially creating new opportunities for CO or its combination therapies.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent and lipid peroxides (LPO)-overloaded programmed damage cell death, induced by glutathione (GSH) depletion and glutathione peroxide 4 (GPX4) inactivation. However, the inadequacy of endogenous iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS) restricts the efficacy of ferroptosis. To overcome this obstacle, a near-infrared photo-responsive FeP@PEG NPs is fabricated. Exogenous iron pool can enhance the effect of ferroptosis via the depletion of GSH and further regulate GPX4 inactivation. Generation of ·OH derived from the Fenton reaction is proved by increased accumulation of lipid peroxides. The heat generated by photothermal therapy and ROS generated by photodynamic therapy can enhance cell apoptosis under near-infrared (NIR-808 nm) irradiation, as evidenced by mitochondrial dysfunction and further accumulation of lipid peroxide content. FeP@PEG NPs can significantly inhibit the growth of several types of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, which is validated by theoretical and experimental results. Meanwhile, FeP@PEG NPs show excellent T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) property. In summary, the FeP-based nanotheranostic platform for enhanced phototherapy/ferroptosis/chemodynamic therapy provides a reliable opportunity for clinical cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Solar-driven CO2 reduction and water oxidation to liquid fuels represents a promising solution to alleviate energy crisis and climate issue, but it remains a great challenge for generating CH3OH and CH3CH2OH dominated by multi-electron transfer. Single-cluster catalysts with super electron acceptance, accurate molecular structure, customizable electronic structure and multiple adsorption sites, have led to greater potential in catalyzing various challenging reactions. However, accurately controlling the number and arrangement of clusters on functional supports still faces great challenge. Herein, we develop a facile electrosynthesis method to uniformly disperse Wells-Dawson- and Keggin-type polyoxometalates on TiO2 nanotube arrays, resulting in a series of single-cluster functionalized catalysts P2M18O62@TiO2 and PM12O40@TiO2 (M=Mo or W). The single polyoxometalate cluster can be distinctly identified and serves as electronic sponge to accept electrons from excited TiO2 for enhancing surface-hole concentration and promote water oxidation. Among these samples, P2Mo18O62@TiO2-1 exhibits the highest electron consumption rate of 1260 μmol g-1 for CO2-to-CH3OH conversion with H2O as the electron source, which is 11 times higher than that of isolated TiO2 nanotube arrays. This work supplied a simple synthesis method to realize the single-dispersion of molecular cluster to enrich surface-reaching holes on TiO2, thereby facilitating water oxidation and CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Near-infrared light-driven photocatalytic CO2 reduction (NIR-CO2PR) holds tremendous promise for the production of valuable commodity chemicals and fuels. However, designing photocatalysts capable of reducing CO2 with low energy NIR photons remains challenging. Herein, a novel NIR-driven photocatalyst comprising an anionic Ru complex intercalated between NiAl-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (NiAl-Ru-LDH) is shown to deliver efficient CO2 photoreduction (0.887 μmol h-1) with CO selectivity of 84.81 % under 1200 nm illumination and excellent stability over 50 testing cycles. This remarkable performance results from the intercalated Ru complex lowering the LDH band gap (0.98 eV) via a compression-related charge redistribution phenomenon. Furthermore, transient absorption spectroscopy data verified light-induced electron transfer from the Ru complex towards the LDH sheets, increasing the availability of electrons to drive CO2PR. The presence of hydroxyl defects in the LDH sheets promotes the adsorption of CO2 molecules and lowers the energy barriers for NIR-CO2PR to CO. To our knowledge, this is one of the first reports of NIR-CO2PR at wavelengths up to 1200 nm in LDH-based photocatalyst systems.

Abstract
Broad-spectrum-driven high-performance artificial photosynthesis is quite challenging. Herein, atomically ultrathin bismuthene with semimetallic properties is designed and demonstrated for broad-spectrum (ultraviolet-visible-near infrared light) (UV-vis-NIR)-driven photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation. The trap states in the bandgap produced by edge dangling bonds prolong the lifetime of the photogenerated electrons from 90 ps in bulk Bi to 1650 ps in bismuthine, and excited-state electrons are enriched at the edge of bismuthine. The edge dangling bonds of bismuthene as the active sites for adsorption/activation of CO2 increase the hybridization ability of the Bi 6p orbital and O 2p orbital to significantly reduce the catalytic reaction energy barrier and promote the formation of C─H bonds until the generation of CH4. Under λ ≥ 400 nm and λ ≥ 550 nm irradiation, the utilization ratios of photogenerated electron reduction CO2 hydrogenation to CO and CH4 for bismuthene are 58.24 and 300.50 times higher than those of bulk Bi, respectively. Moreover, bismuthene can extend the CO2 hydrogenation reaction to the near-infrared region (λ ≥ 700 nm). This pioneering work employs the single semimetal element as an artificial photosynthetic catalyst to produce a broad spectral response.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction to high-value chemicals is an attractive approach to mitigate climate change, but it remains a great challenge to produce a specific product selectively by IR light. Hence, UiO-66/Co9S8 composite is designed to couple the advantages of metallic photocatalysts and porous CO2 adsorbers for IR-light-driven CO2-to-CH4 conversion. The metallic nature of Co9S8 endows UiO-66/Co9S8 with exceptional IR light absorption, while UiO-66 dramatically enhances its local CO2 concentration, revealed by finite-element method simulations. As a result, Co9S8 or UiO-66 alone does not show observable IR-light photocatalytic activity, whereas UiO-66/Co9S8 exhibits exceptional activity. The CH4 evolution rate over UiO-66/Co9S8 reaches 25.7 µmol g-1 h-1 with ca.100% selectivity under IR light irradiation, outperforming most reported catalysts under similar reaction conditions. The X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy spectra verify the presence of two distinct Co sites and confirm the existence of metallic Co─Co bond in Co9S8. Energy diagrams analysis and transient absorption spectra manifest that CO2 reduction mainly occurs on Co9S8 for UiO-66/Co9S8, while density functional theory calculations demonstrate that high-electron-density Co1 sites are the key active sites, possessing lower energy barriers for further protonation of *CO, leading to the ultra-high selectivity toward CH4.

Abstract
Efficient utilization of sunlight in photocatalysis is widely recognized as a promising solution for addressing the growing energy demand and environmental issues resulting from fossil fuel consumption.

Huo H, He H, Huang C, Guan X, Wu F, Du Y, Xing H, Kan E, Li A. Solar-driven CO 2-to-ethanol conversion enabled by continuous CO 2 transport via a superhydrophobic Cu 2O nano fence. Chem Sci 2024; 15:1638-1647. [PMID: 38303942 PMCID: PMC10829006 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc05702j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The overall photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction presents an eco-friendly approach for generating high-value products, specifically ethanol. However, ethanol production still faces efficiency issues (typically formation rates <605 μmol g-1 h-1). One significant challenge arises from the difficulty of continuously transporting CO2 to the catalyst surface, leading to inadequate gas reactant concentration at reactive sites. Here, we develop a mesoporous superhydrophobic Cu2O hollow structure (O-CHS) for efficient gas transport. O-CHS is designed to float on an aqueous solution and act as a nano fence, effectively impeding water infiltration into its inner space and enabling CO2 accumulation within. As CO2 is consumed at reactive sites, O-CHS serves as a gas transport channel and diffuser, continuously and promptly conveying CO2 from the gas phase to the reactive sites. This ensures a stable high CO2 concentration at reactive sites. Consequently, O-CHS achieves the highest recorded ethanol formation rate (996.18 μmol g-1 h-1) to the best of our knowledge. This strategy combines surface engineering with geometric modulation, providing a promising pathway for multi-carbon production.

Abstract
Synchronized conversion of CO2 and H2O into hydrocarbons and oxygen via infrared-ignited photocatalysis remains a challenge. Herein, the hydroxyl-coordinated single-site Ru is anchored precisely on the metallic TiN surface by a NaBH4/NaOH reforming method to construct an infrared-responsive HO-Ru/TiN photocatalyst. Aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (ac-HAADF-STEM) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirm the atomic distribution of the Ru species. XAS and density functional theory (DFT) calculations unveil the formation of surface HO-RuN5-Ti Lewis pair sites, which achieves efficient CO2 polarization/activation via dual coordination with the C and O atoms of CO2 on HO-Ru/TiN. Also, implanting the Ru species on the TiN surface powerfully boosts the separation and transfer of photoinduced charges. Under infrared irradiation, the HO-Ru/TiN catalyst shows a superior CO2-to-CO transformation activity coupled with H2O oxidation to release O2, and the CO2 reduction rate can further be promoted by about 3-fold under simulated sunlight. With the key reaction intermediates determined by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and predicted by DFT simulations, a possible photoredox mechanism of the CO2 reduction system is proposed.

Abstract
Infrared light driven photocatalytic reduction of atmospheric CO2 is challenging due to the ultralow concentration of CO2 (0.04 %) and the low energy of infrared light. Herein, we develop a metallic nickel-based metal-organic framework loaded with Pt (Pt/Ni-MOF), which shows excellent activity for thermal-photocatalytic conversion of atmospheric CO2 with H2 even under infrared light irradiation. The open Ni sites are beneficial to capture and activate atmospheric CO2 , while the photogenerated electrons dominate H2 dissociation on the Pt sites. Simultaneously, thermal energy results in spilling of the dissociated H2 to Ni sites, where the adsorbed CO2 is thermally reduced to CO and CH4 . The synergistic interplay of dual-active-sites renders Pt/Ni-MOF a record efficiency of 9.57 % at 940 nm for converting atmospheric CO2 , enables the procurement of CO2 to be independent of the emission sources, and improves the energy efficiency for trace CO2 conversion by eliminating the capture media regeneration and molecular CO2 release.

Modulating the Reaction Configuration by Breaking the Structural Symmetry of Active Sites for Efficient Photocatalytic Reduction of Low-concentration CO 2. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202310733.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of low-concentration CO2 is considered as a promising way to simultaneously mitigate the environmental and energy issues. However, the weak CO2 adsorption and tough CO2 activation process seriously compromise the CO production, due to the chemical inertness of CO2 molecule and the formed fragile metal-C/O bond. Herein, we designed and fabricated oxygen vacancy contained Co3 O4 hollow nanoparticles on ordered macroporous N-doped carbon framework (Vo-HCo3 O4 /OMNC) towards photoreduction of low-concentration CO2 . In situ spectra and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the constructed oxygen vacancy is able to break the local structural symmetry of Co-O-Co sites. The formation of asymmetric active site switches the CO2 configuration from a single-site linear model to a multiple-sites bending one with a highly stable configuration, enhancing the binding and structural polarization of CO2 molecules. As a result, Vo-HCo3 O4 /OMNC shows unprecedent activity in the photocatalytic conversion of low-concentration CO2 (10 % CO2 /Ar) under laboratory light source or even natural sunlight, affording a syngas yield of 337.8 or 95.2 mmol g-1 h-1 , respectively, with an apparent quantum yield up to 4.2 %.

Dual Lewis Acid-Base Sites Regulate Silver-Copper Bimetallic Oxide Nanowires for Highly Selective Photoreduction of Carbon Dioxide to Methane. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309625.

Abstract
Highly selective photoreduction of CO2 to valuable hydrocarbons is of great importance to achieving a carbon-neutral society. Precisely manipulating the formation of the Metal1 ⋅⋅⋅C=O⋅⋅⋅Metal2 (M1 ⋅⋅⋅C=O⋅⋅⋅M2 ) intermediate on the photocatalyst interface is the most critical step for regulating selectivity, while still a significant challenge. Herein, inspired by the polar electronic structure feature of CO2 molecule, we propose a strategy whereby the Lewis acid-base dual sites confined in a bimetallic catalyst surface are conducive to forming a M1 ⋅⋅⋅C=O⋅⋅⋅M2 intermediate precisely, which can promote selectivity to hydrocarbon formation. Employing the Ag2 Cu2 O3 nanowires with abundant Cu⋅⋅⋅Ag Lewis acid-base dual sites on the preferred exposed {110} surface as a model catalyst, 100 % selectivity toward photoreduction of CO2 into CH4 has been achieved. Subsequent surface-quenching experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verify that the Cu⋅⋅⋅Ag Lewis acid-base dual sites do play a vital role in regulating the M1 ⋅⋅⋅C=O⋅⋅⋅M2 intermediate formation that is considered to be prone to convert CO2 into hydrocarbons. This study reports a highly selective CO2 photocatalyst, which was designed on the basis of a newly proposed theory for precise regulation of reaction intermediates. Our findings will stimulate further research on dual-site catalyst design for CO2 reduction to hydrocarbons.

Abstract
A general approach to promote IR light-driven CO2 reduction within ultrathin Cu-based hydrotalcite-like hydroxy salts is presented. Associated band structures and optical properties of the Cu-based materials are first predicted by theory. Subsequently, Cu4(SO4)(OH)6 nanosheets were synthesized and are found to undergo cascaded electron transfer processes based on d-d orbital transitions under infrared light irradiation. The obtained samples exhibit excellent activity for IR light-driven CO2 reduction, with a production rate of 21.95 and 4.11 μmol g-1 h-1 for CO and CH4, respectively, surpassing most reported catalysts under the same reaction conditions. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy are used to track the evolution of the catalytic sites and intermediates to understand the photocatalytic mechanism. Similar ultrathin catalysts are also investigated to explore the generality of the proposed electron transfer approach. Our findings illustrate that abundant transition metal complexes hold great promise for IR light-responsive photocatalysis.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is regarded as a promising therapeutic agent for chemotherapy sensitization. To simultaneously achieve controllable in situ CO production and efficient chemotherapeutics delivery is of great significance. Here, we presented a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) core-shell microneedle (MN) system that encapsulated the effervescent component, photocatalyst, and doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox·HCl) for CO-sensitized chemotherapy. Upon the insertion of MNs, the effervescent component, composed of sodium bicarbonate and tartaric acid, was exposed to interstitial fluid, leading to the burst release of carbon dioxide (CO2). The generated gas not only enhanced the diffusion of Dox·HCl but also served as a substrate for the photocatalytic generation of CO. From the experimental results, the photocatalyst CuS atomic layers (CAL) displayed an effective CO2 photoreduction performance, which could realize an irradiation time/intensity-dependent CO-controlled release. Ex vivo permeation studies demonstrated that effervescent CO2 production markedly enhanced the intradermal diffusion of Dox·HCl. Eventually, the robust antitumor efficacy of this versatile MN platform was proved in B16F10-bearing nude mice. This CO-sensitized chemotherapeutic MN system offered a novel strategy for transdermal gas/drug delivery, which might provide a new direction in tumor suppression.

Abstract
Currently, finite intratumoral H2O2 content has restricted the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Here, Cu-Ni0.85Se@PEG nanoparticles are constructed to display intracellular NIR-II photocatalytic H2O2 supplement. The formation mechanism is explored to discover that H2O2 generation is dominated by photo-excited electrons and dissolved O2 via a typical sequential single-electron transfer process. Both density functional theory calculation and experimental data confirm its metallic feature that endows the great NIR-II absorption and photothermal conversion efficiency (59.6 %, 1064 nm). Furthermore, the photothermal-assisting consecutive interband and intraband transition in metallic catalyst contributes to the high redox capacity and efficient separation/transfer ability of photo-generated charges, boosting H2O2 production under 1064 nm laser irradiation. In addition, Cu-Ni0.85Se@PEG possess mimic peroxidase and catalase activity, leading to in-situ H2O2 activation to produce ∙OH and O2 for the enhanced CDT and hypoxia relief. What's more, the nanomaterials reveal novel biodegradation that is derived from oxidation from insolvable selenide into soluble selenate, resulting in elimination via feces and urine within 2 weeks. Synergistic CDT and photothermal therapy (PTT) further lead to great tumor inhibition and immune response for anti-tumor. The antitumor mechanism and the potential biological process also are investigated by high-throughput sequencing of expressed transcripts (RNAseq). The great treatment performance is responsible for the regulation of related oxidative stress and stimulus genes to induce organelle (mitochondrial) and membrane dysfunction. Besides, the synergistic therapy also can efficiently evoke immune response to further fight against tumor.

Abstract
Photocatalytic overall water splitting is a promising approach to overcome the environmental and energy crisis. However, developing effective photocatalysts with well activity, light absorption, and photogenerated carrier lifetime is still a challenge. Herein, combining extensive first-principles and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics calculations, we find that microporous carbon-nitride nanosheets with a pyridinic nitrogen, such as C2N and C6N6, possess the pentacoordinated silicon intermediates' bonding environment. The pentacoordinated silicon as intermediates exhibits good photocatalytic performance for the difficult four-electronic oxygen evolution reaction. The overpotential is only 0.55 V for C2N, which is significantly lower than that of the tetracoordinated silicon intermediates (2.00 V). Simultaneously, the decoration of the silicon group not only widens the absorption range of visible light but also maintains the lifetime of photogenerated carriers on the nanosecond scale, which enhances the application efficiency of solar energy. Our work paves a new route for advancing photocatalytic overall water splitting.

Abstract
Rational design of functional material interfaces with well-defined physico-chemical-driven forces is crucial for achieving highly efficient interfacial chemical reaction dynamics for resource recovery. Herein, via an interfacial structure engineering strategy, precious metal (PM) coordination-active pyridine groups have been successfully covalently integrated into ultrathin 1T-MoS2 (Py-MoS2). The constructed Py-MoS2 shows highly selective interfacial coordination bonding-assisted redox (ICBAR) functionality toward PM recycling. Py-MoS2 shows state-of-the-art high recovery selectivity toward Au3+ and Pd4+ within 13 metal cation mixture solutions. The related recycling capacity reaches up to 3343.00 and 2330.74 mg/g for Au3+ and Pd4+, respectively. More importantly, above 90% recovery efficiencies have been achieved in representative PMs containing electronic solid waste leachate, such as computer processing units (CPU) and spent catalysts. The ICBAR mechanism developed here paves the way for interface engineering of the well-documented functional materials toward highly efficient PM recovery.

Abstract
We report an oxygen vacancy (Vo )-rich metallic MoO2-x nano-sea-urchin with partially occupied band, which exhibits super CO2 (even directly from the air) photoreduction performance under UV, visible and near-infrared (NIR) light illumination. The Vo -rich MoO2-x nano-sea-urchin displays a CH4 evolution rate of 12.2 and 5.8 μmol gcatalyst -1 h-1 under full spectrum and NIR light illumination in concentrated CO2 , which is ca. 7- and 10-fold higher than the Vo -poor MoO2-x , respectively. More interestingly, the as-developed Vo -rich MoO2-x nano-sea-urchin can even reduce CO2 directly from the air with a CO evolution rate of 6.5 μmol gcatalyst -1 h-1 under NIR light illumination. Experiments together with theoretical calculations demonstrate that the oxygen vacancy in MoO2-x can facilitate CO2 adsorption/activation to generate *COOH as well as the subsequent protonation of *CO towards the formation of CH4 because of the formation of a highly stable Mo-C-O-Mo intermediate.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum dots have been emerging as promising photocatalysts to convert CO2 into fuels by using solar energy. However, the above photocatalysts usually suffer from low CO2 adsorption capacity because of their nonporous structures, which principally reduces their catalytic efficiency. Here, we show that synchronizing imine polycondensation reaction to self-assembly of colloidal CdSe/CdS nanorods can produce micro-meso hierarchically porous nanocomposites with double-shelled nanocomposites. Owing to their hierarchical pores and the ability to separate photoexcited electrons, the self-assembled porous nanocomposites exhibit remarkably higher activity (≈ 64.6 μmol g−1 h−1) toward CO2 to CO in solid-gas regime than that of nonporous solids from self-assembled CdSe/CdS nanorods under identical conditions. Importantly, the length of the nanorods is demonstrated to be crucial to correlate their ability to long-distance separation of photogenerated electrons and holes along their axial direction. Overall, this approach provides a rational strategy to optimize the CO2 adsorption and conversion by integrating the inorganic and organic semiconductors. The authors design double shelled hollow superstructures from self-assembled CdSe/CdS nanorods in covalent organic frameworks for CO2 photo-reduction at a gas/solid interface.

Abstract
Photocatalysts with heterojunction structure have been widely used for organic degradation. In this study, CuS/g-C3N4heterojunction was formed byin situself-assembly via a simply hydrothermal method. A series of characterizations were applied to analyzing the morphology, structure, optical properties and photo-induced electron transfer of the samples. The effect of CuS mass ratio in the CuS/g-C3N4composite on methyl blue (10 mg l-1) degradation under visible-light illumination was discussed. When CuS mass ratio was 60%, CuS/g-C3N4behaved the highest photocatalytic efficiency which is 17 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4, and the optimal heterojunction exhibited promising photocatalytic stability as well. The synthesized CuS/g-C3N4with intimate contact and promising photocatalytic performance provides important implications on analogous researches on g-C3N4-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Undoubtedly, taking full advantage of near-infrared light (NIR) for the photocatalytic reaction is a promising way to realize the efficient utilization of solar energy. In this work, zirconium carbide (ZrC) has been exploited as a NIR-driven photoactive substance for the simultaneous photodegradation of organic pollutants and photothermal sterilization of Escherichia coli (E. coli). The metallic nature and NIR-responsive localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) behaviors of ZrC are revealed by both experimental evidence and density function theory (DFT) calculations. ZrC exhibits extremely wide spectral absorbance, excellent NIR-triggered photosensitive effect and photothermal conversion efficiency. Activation kinetics was performed with DFT to investigate the activation process of O2 to •O2-. In addition, a possible NIR-mediated photocatalytic mechanism of ZrC was proposed on the basis of above DFT simulation and radical scavenging experiments. Metallic ZrC with NIR-responsive activity provides a new perspective for designing full-spectrum-driven photocatalysts.

Abstract
Arduous CO2 activation and sluggish charge transfer retard the photoreduction of CO2 to CH3OH with high efficiency and selectivity. Here, we fabricate ultrathin Ti-doped WO3 nanosheets possessing approving active sites and optimized carrier dynamics as a promising catalyst. Quasi in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and synchrotron-radiation X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy firmly confirm that the true active sites for CO2 reduction are the W sites rather the Ti sites, while the Ti dopants can facilitate charge transfer, which accelerates the generation of crucial COOH* intermediates as revealed by in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. Besides, the Gibbs free energy calculations also validate that Ti doping can lower the energy barrier of CO2 activation and CH3OH desorption by 0.22 eV and 0.42 eV, respectively, thus promoting the formation of CH3OH. In consequence, the Ti-doped WO3 ultrathin nanosheets show a superior CH3OH selectivity of 88.9% and reach a CH3OH evolution rate of 16.8 μmol g-1 h-1, about 3.3 times higher than that on WO3 nanosheets. This work sheds light on promoting CO2 photoreduction to CH3OH by rational elemental doping.

Abstract
To realize excellent selectivity of CH4 in CO2 photoreduction (CO2 PR) is highly desirable, yet which is challenging due to the limited active sites for CH4 generation and severe electron-hole recombination on photocatalysts. Herein, based on the theoretically calculated effects of vanadium incorporation into the laminate of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), V into NiAl-LDH to synthesize a series of LDHs with various V contents is introduced. NiV-LDH is revealed to afford a high CH4 selectivity (78.9%), and extremely low H2 selectivity (only 0.4%) under λ > 400 nm irradiation. By further tuning the molar ratio of Ni to V, a CH4 selectivity of as high as 90.1% is achieved on Ni4 V-LDH, and H2 is completely prohibited on Ni2 V-LDH. Fine structural characterizations and comprehensive optical and electrochemical studies uncover V incorporation creates the lower-valence Ni species as active sites for generating CH4 , and enhances the generation, separation, and transfer of photogenerated carriers.

Abstract
It is a major challenge to synthesize crystalline transition-metal nitride (TMN) ultrathin nanocrystals due to their harsh reaction conditions. Herein, we report that highly crystalline tungsten nitride (W2N, WN, W3N4, W2N3) nanocrystals with small size and excellent dispersibility are prepared by a mild and general in situ surface restraint-induced growth method. These ultrafine tungsten nitride nanocrystals are immobilized in ultrathin carbon layers, forming an interesting hybrid nanobelt structure. The hybrid WN/C nanobelts exhibit a strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, including a lowest detection limit of 1 × 10-12 M and a Raman enhancement factor of 6.5 × 108 comparable to noble metals, which may be one of the best records for non-noble metal SERS substrates. Moreover, they even can maintain the SERS performance in a variety of harsh environments, showing outstanding corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, and oxidation resistance, which is not available on traditional noble metal and semiconductor SERS substrates. A synergistic Raman enhancement mechanism of LSPR and interface charge transfer is found in the carbon-coated tungsten nitride substrate. A microfluidic SERS channel integrating the enrichment and detection of trace substances is constructed with the WN/C nanobelt, which realizes high-throughput dynamic SERS analysis.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) consisting of precious-metal-free elements show attractive potentials towards solar-driven CO2 reduction. However, the inhibition of hydrogen (H2 ) production in aqueous solution remains a challenge. Here, we describe the first example of a carbon-carbon (C-C) coupling reaction to block the competing H2 evolution in photocatalytic CO2 reduction in water. In a specific system taking ZnSe QDs as photocatalysts, the introduction of furfural can significantly suppress H2 evolution leading to CO evolution with a rate of ≈5.3 mmol g-1 h-1 and a turnover number (TON) of >7500 under 24 h visible light. Meanwhile, furfural is upgraded to the self-coupling product with a yield of 99.8 % based on the consumption of furfural. Mechanistic insights show that the reductive furfural coupling reaction occurs on surface Zn-sites to consume electrons and protons originally used for H2 production, while the CO formation pathway at surface anion vacancies from CO2 remains.

Abstract
Developing novel two-dimensional photocatalysis is an excellent strategy for high-efficiency CO2 photoreduction. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate a facile hydrothermal synthesis method to construct ultrathin Bi4NbO8Cl nanosheets using tartaric acid as a complexing agent, which can restrain the speed of nucleation. The ultrathin Bi4NbO8Cl nanosheets exhibit excellent catalytic activity of CO and CH4 production (10.84 and 4.45 μmol g-1 h-1), which are up to 1.9 and 1.4 times higher than those of the bulk Bi4NbO8Cl, respectively. Photoelectric experiments and mechanism analysis systematically show that the as-obtained enhanced performance should be attributed to the formation of ultrathin Bi4NbO8Cl nanosheets, and charge separation and migration are significantly boosted. Therefore, this ultrathin Bi4NbO8Cl structure has provided new insights into the controllable preparation of ultrathin nanosheet photocatalysts to effectively improve the catalytic performance.

Abstract
Piezoelectric semiconductors have emerged as redox catalysts, and challenges include effective conversion of mechanical energy to piezoelectric polarization and achieving high catalytic activity. The catalytic activity can be enhanced by simultaneous irradiation of ultrasound and light, but the existing piezoelectric semiconductors have trouble absorbing visible light. A piezoelectric catalyst is designed and tested for the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). It is based on Nb-doped tetragonal BaTiO3 (BaTiO3 :Nb) and is sensitized by carbon quantum dots (CDs). The photosensitizer injects electrons into the conduction band of the semiconductor, while the piezoelectric polarization directed electrons to the semiconductor surface, allowing for a high-rate generation of H2 O2 . The piezoelectric polarization field restricts the recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs. A production rate of 1360 µmol gcatalyst -1 h-1 of H2 O2 is achieved under visible light and ultrasound co-irradiation. Individual piezo- and photocatalysis yielded lower production rates. Furthermore, the CDs enhance the piezocatalytic activity of the BaTiO3 :Nb. It is noted that moderating the piezoelectricity of BaTiO3 :Nb via microstructure modulation influences the piezophotocatalytic activity. This work shows a new methodology for synthesizing H2 O2 by using visible light and mechanical energy.

Abstract
Rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers severely impairs the performance of photocatalysts, while polarization is an effective driving force for increasing the charge separation and hence improving the photocatalytic activity. In this work, a series of magnetoelectric-coupled layered metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts with different Co-doped contents (denoted as Ni-MOF and CoxNi1-x-MOF) are fabricated with different polarities and employed as novel photocatalysts for CO2 photocatalytic reduction reaction. Our experiments show that the highest charge separation efficiency occurs in the Co0.1Ni0.9-MOF sample which has a maximal polarization. This Co0.1Ni0.9-MOF material has a best CO2 reduction performance of 38.74 μmol g-1h-1 which is at a high level in the currently reported layered materials. Meanwhile, it is found that a series of CoxNi1-x-MOF samples all display selectivity close to 100% for CO2 reduction to CO, which is desirable for industrial applications. Theoretical analysis shows that Co doping alters the degree of distortion of the asymmetrical Ni-centered octahedron {NiN2O4} in Ni-MOF by replacing Ni due to the magnetoelectric coupling effect and Jahn-Teller effect, which results in adjustable polarity of CoxNi1-x-MOF. This work provides new insights on how to improve photogenerated charge separation in MOF by enhancing polarization.

Abstract
Infrared light absorbed by semiconductors hardly contributes to the solar energy conversion due to its low photon energy. Herein, photothermal effect activated by infrared part of solar light is introduced to promote the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting of photoanodes. Narrow band-gap semiconductor Bi2S3 is deposited on the surface of WO3 nanosheets, exhibiting a broad-spectral response. In addition to the enhanced density of photo-generated electrons, significant temperature elevation is observed for the Bi2S3/WO3 composite photoanode under the illumination of infrared part of solar light because of the photothermal conversion property of Bi2S3. The moderately enhanced temperature accelerates charge carrier migration and finally increases the efficiency of solar energy conversion. With the assistance of photothermal effect, a remarkable photocurrent density of 4.05 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V vs. reversible reference electrode (VRHE) is achieved by Bi2S3/WO3 composite photoanode, over 880% higher than that of the pristine WO3. The introduction of photothermal effect activated by infrared light provides general and robust strategy to promote the PEC performance of photoanodes.

Abstract
Increasing the concentration and separation ability of charge carriers in photocatalysts has still been a crucial issue and challenge to achieve high CO2 photoreduction performance. Here, we construct a distinctive heterojunction between semiconductor (CeO2) and metalloid (CuS). It has been discovered that, different from conventional semiconductor and Schottky heterojunctions, in this system, electrons (esc-) located at the conduction band (CB) of CeO2 will transfer to the Fermi level in partially occupied band (CB) of CuS and accumulate there. Then, together with transition electrons (etr-) excited from the CB below Fermi level or fully filled band (B-1) of CuS, these esc- will further transfer to the lowest unoccupied band (B1) of CuS, finally participate in CO2 reduction reaction. Because the concentration and separation efficiency of charge carriers has been obviously increased, this heterojunction exhibits remarkably enhanced CO2 photoreduction performance. In-situ FTIR was conducted to explore the reaction process and the changes of intermediates on the surface of this catalyst during CO2 photoreduction. Given that this type of heterojunction can only be established between a semiconductor and a metalloid and exhibits special electron transfer behavior, this work really provides an unconventional strategy for the design of photocatalysts with superior CO2 photoreduction activity.

Abstract
It remains challenging to excite traditional photocatalysts through near-infrared (NIR) light. Attempts to use NIR-light-response materials for photochemical reduction usually suffer from inapposite band position due to extremely narrow band gaps. Here, we report that large π-conjugated organic semiconductor engineered metal-organic framework (MOF) can result in NIR-light-driven CO2 reduction catalyst with high photocatalytic activity. A series of mesoporous MOFs, with progressively increased macrocyclic π-conjugated units, were synthesized for tuning the light adsorption range and catalytic performance. Attainment of these MOFs in single-crystal form revealed the identical topology and precise spatial arrangements of constituent organic semiconductor units and metal clusters. Furthermore, the ultrafast spectroscopic studies confirmed the formation of charge separation state and the mechanism underlying photoexcited dynamics. This combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance studies verified the photoinduced electron transfer pathway within MOFs for NIR-light-driven CO2 reduction. Specifically, tetrakis(4-carboxybiphenyl)naphthoporphyrin) MOF (TNP-MOF) photocatalyst displayed an unprecedentedly high CO2 reduction rate of over 6630 μmol h-1 g-1 under NIR light irradiation, and apparent quantum efficiencies (AQE) at 760 and 808 nm were over 2.03% and 1.11%, respectively. The photocatalytic performance outperformed all the other MOF-based photocatalysts, even visible-light-driven MOF-based catalysts.

Abstract
Inspired by green plants, artificial photosynthesis has become one of the most attractive approaches toward carbon dioxide (CO2 ) valorization. Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) or dot-in-rod (DIR) nano-heterostructures have gained substantial research interest in multielectron photoredox reactions. However, fast electron-hole recombination or sluggish hole transfer and utilization remains unsatisfactory for their potential applications. Here, the first application of a well-designed ZnSe/CdS dot-on-rods (DORs) nano-heterostructure for efficient and selective CO2 photoreduction with H2 O as an electron donor is presented. In-depth spectroscopic studies reveal that surface-anchored ZnSe QDs not only assist ultrafast (≈2 ps) electron and hole separation, but also promote interfacial hole transfer participating in oxidative half-reactions. Surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy provides a direct image of spatially separated electrons in CdS and holes in ZnSe. Therefore, ZnSe/CdS DORs photocatalyze CO2 to CO with a rate of ≈11.3 µmol g-1 h-1 and ≥85% selectivity, much higher than that of ZnSe/CdS DIRs or pristine CdS nanorods under identical conditions. Obviously, favored energy-level alignment and unique morphology balance the utilization of electrons and holes in this nano-heterostructure, thus enhancing the performance of artificial photosynthetic solar-to-chemical conversion.

Abstract
We report a new form of catalyst based on ferromagnetic hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) Co nanosheets (NSs) for selective CO2RR to ethanal, CH3CHO. In all reduction potentials tested from -0.2 to -1.0 V (vs RHE) in 0.5 M KHCO3 solution, the reduction yields ethanal as a major product and ethanol/methanol as minor products. At -0.4 V, the Faradaic efficiency (FE) for ethanal reaches 60% with current densities of 5.1 mA cm-2 and mass activity of 3.4 A g-1 (total FE for ethanal/ethanol/methanol is 82%). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that this high CO2RR selectivity to ethanal on the hcp Co surface is attributed to the unique intralayer electron transfer, which not only promotes [OC-CO]* coupling but also suppresses the complete hydrogenation of the coupling intermediates to ethylene, leading to highly selective formation of CH3CHO.

Abstract
The intracellular O2-supply not only can relieve tumor hypoxia but also enhance the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, metallic Mo2C@N-carbon@PEG nanoparticles were constructed to reveal the near infrared (NIR)-photocatalytic O2 generation and promote photodynamic therapy (PDT). Here, (NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O nanorods and urea were adopted as resources that were calcined to obtain Mo2C@N-carbon nanoparticles (20 nm). All samples displayed high NIR absorption as well as photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 52.7 % (Mo2C@N-Carbon-3@PEG). The density functional theory calculations demonstrated the metallic characteristic of Mo2C and that the consecutive interband/intraband charge-transition was responsible for the high NIR harvest and redox ability of electron-hole pairs, making the NIR-photocatalytic O2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In comparison with the pure Mo2C, the heterostructure displayed twice the performance due to the enhanced charge-segregation between Mo2C and N-carbon. Given the high X-ray absorption coefficient and photothermal ability, the nanocomposite could be used in novel computer tomography and photothermal imaging contrast. Furthermore, the novel biodegradation and metabolism behaviors of nanocomposites were investigated, which were reflected as elimination from the body (mouse) via feces and urine within 14 days. The as-synthesized Mo2C@N-Carbon@PEG nanocomposites integrated the dual-model imaging, intracellular O2-supply, and phototherapy into one nanoplatform, revealing its potential for anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
Solar-driven highly-efficient photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into value-added fuels has been regarded as a promising strategy to assuage the current global warming and energy crisis, but developing highly product-selective, long-term stable and low-cost photocatalysts for C2 production remains a grand challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that two-dimensional β- and δ-phase Cu2S monolayers are promising photocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 into C2H5OH. The calculated potential-limiting steps for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) are less than 0.50 eV, while those for the hydrogen evolution reaction are as high as 1.53 and 0.87 eV. Most strikingly, the C-C coupling only needs to overcome an ultra-low kinetic barrier of ∼0.30 eV, half of that on the Cu surface, indicating that they can boost the C2H5OH conversion efficiency greatly. Besides, these catalysts also exhibit satisfactory band edge positions and suitable visible light absorption, rendering them ideal for the visible light driven CO2RR. Our work not only provides a promising photocatalyst for achieving the efficient and selective CO2RR, but also brings new opportunities for advanced sustainable C2H5OH product.

Abstract
Although a few semiconductors can directly absorb infrared light, their intrinsic properties like improper band-edge position and strong electron-hole interaction restrict further photocatalytic applications. Herein, we propose an exciton-mediated energy transfer strategy for realizing efficient infrared light response in heterostructures. Using black phosphorous/polymeric carbon nitride (BP/CN) heterojunction, CN could be indirectly excited by infrared light with the aid of nonradiatively exciton-based energy transfer from BP. At the same time, excitons are dissociated into free charge carriers at the interface of BP/CN heterojunction, followed by hole injection to BP and electron retainment in CN. As a result of these unique photoexcitation processes, BP/CN heterojunction exhibits promoted conversion rate and selectivity in amine-amine oxidative coupling reaction even under infrared light irradiation. This study opens a new way for the design of efficient infrared light activating photocatalysts.
