Abstract
In this study, the polyvinylpyrrolidone-alizarin nanoparticles (PVP-AZ NPs) with favorable water dispersion and the carbon quantum dots (RQDs) with aggregate induced emission effect were synthesized to construct an eco-friendly film for food freshness monitoring. The introduction of PVP-AZ NPs and RQDs enhanced the network structure and thermal stability of the cassava starch/polyvinyl alcohol film, and reduced its crystallinity and light transmittance via non-covalent binding with the film-forming matrix. The developed film exhibited visually recognizable colorimetric and fluorescent responses to ammonia at 0.025-25 mg/mL, and it can be reused at least 6 times. Practical application experiment proved that the film, as an indicator label, can achieve accurate, real-time, and visual dynamic monitoring of the freshness of shrimp stored at 25 °C, 4 °C, and - 20 °C under daylight (orange yellow to purple) and UV light (red to blue). The integration of multivariate detection technology can eliminate the interference of external factors by self-correction to improve sensitivity and reliability, which provides a reference for the development of other food quality and safety monitoring platforms.

Abstract
The photocatalytic reduction of CO2 represents an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach for generating valuable chemicals. In this study, a thiophene-modified highly conjugated asymmetric covalent triazine framework (As-CTF-S) is developed for this purpose. Significantly, single-component intramolecular energy transfer can enhance the photogenerated charge separation, leading to the efficient conversion of CO2 to CO during photocatalysis. As a result, without the need for additional photosensitizers or organic sacrificial agents, As-CTF-S demonstrates the highest photocatalytic ability of 353.2 µmol g-1 and achieves a selectivity of ≈99.95% within a 4 h period under visible light irradiation. This study provides molecular insights into the rational control of charge transfer pathways for high-efficiency CO2 photoreduction using single-component organic semiconductor catalysts.

Abstract
We report, for the first time, a new synthetic strategy for the preparation of crystalline two-dimensional olefin-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) based on aldol condensation between benzodifurandione and aromatic aldehydes. Olefin-linked COFs can be facilely crystallized through either a pyridine-promoted solvothermal process or a benzoic anhydride-mediated organic flux synthesis. The resultant COF leaf with high in-plane π-conjugation exhibits efficient visible-light-driven photoreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) with water (H2O) in the absence of any photosensitizer, sacrificial agents, or cocatalysts. The production rate of carbon monoxide (CO) reaches as high as 158.1 μmol g-1 h-1 with near 100% CO selectivity, which is accompanied by the oxidation of H2O to oxygen. Both theoretical and experimental results confirm that the key lies in achieving exceptional photoinduced charge separation and low exciton binding. We anticipate that our findings will facilitate new possibilities for the development of semiconducting COFs with structural diversity and functional variability.

Abstract
Zinc-air battery as one of the new generations of battery system, its theoretical specific energy is as high as 1086 Wh kg-1, specific capacity up to 820 mAh/g, and zinc has the advantages of environmental friendliness, resource abundance, low cost and good safety, so it has attracted much attention. However, due to its slow reaction kinetic process, zinc-air battery will produce a large charging overpotential usually up to 2 V, it is far beyond the theoretical voltage of 1.65 V, so reducing the overpotential of zinc-air batteries is extremely necessary, and the most common way to solve this problem is to use excellent catalyst cathode to improve the oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution kinetics of zinc-air batteries. So we developed a new photothermal assisted zinc-air battery system with Hollow carbon nanosphere@poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene)@CdS(HCN@PVTC@CdS) photocathode, the pyroelectric and photocatalysis effect can effectively promote the reaction kinetics and reduce the reaction overpotential. With the pyroelectric and photocatalysis synergistic effect, the zinc-air has displayed a high discharge potential of 1.33 V and a low charging potential of 1.5 V with good cycle stability. This multi-assist technology with built-in electric and light fields paves the way for the development of high-performance zinc-air batteries and other energy storage systems.

Abstract
Solar-energy-driven photoreduction of CO2 is promising in alleviating environment burden, but suffers from low efficiency and over-reliance on sacrificial agents. Herein, rhenium (Re) is atomically dispersed in In2O3 to fabricate a 2Re-In2O3 photocatalyst. In sacrificial-agent-free photoreduction of CO2 with H2O, 2Re-In2O3 shows a long-term stable efficiency which is enhanced by 3.5 times than that of pure In2O3 and is also higher than those on Au-In2O3, Ag-In2O3, Cu-In2O3, Ir-In2O3, Ru-In2O3, Rh-In2O3 and Pt-In2O3 photocatalysts. Moreover, carbon-based product of the photoreduction overturns from CO on pure In2O3 to CH3OH on 2Re-In2O3. Re promotes charge separation, H2O dissociation and CO2 activation, thus enhancing photoreduction efficiency of CO2 on 2Re-In2O3. During the photoreduction, CO is a key intermediate. CO prefers to desorption rather than hydrogenation on pure In2O3, as CO binds to pure In2O3 very weakly. Re strengthens the interaction of CO with 2Re-In2O3 by 5.0 times, thus limiting CO desorption but enhancing CO hydrogenation to CH3OH. This could be the origin for photoreduction product overturn from CO on pure In2O3 to CH3OH on 2Re-In2O3. The present work opens a new way to boost sacrificial-agent-free photoreduction of CO2.

Abstract
Efficient solar-driven syngas production (CO+H2 mixture) from CO2 and H2O with a suitable photocatalyst and fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanism are the desired approach towards the carbon recycling process. Herein, we report the design and development of an unique COF-topological quantum material nano-heterostructure, COF@TI with a newly synthesized donor-acceptor based COF and two dimensional (2D) nanosheets of strong topological insulator (TI), PbBi2Te4. The intrinsic robust metallic surfaces of the TI act as electron reservoir, minimising the fast electron-hole recombination process, and the presence of 6s2 lone pairs in Pb2+ and Bi3+ in the TI helps for efficient CO2 binding, which are responsible for boosting overall catalytic activity. In variable ratio of acetonitrile-water (MeCN : H2O) solvent mixture COF@TI produces syngas with different ratios of CO and H2. COF@TI nano-heterostructure enables to produce higher amount of syngas with more controllable ratios of CO and H2 compared to pristine COF. The electron transfer route from COF to TI was realized from Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) analysis, charge density difference calculation, excited state lifetime and photoelectrochemical measurements. Finally, a probable mechanistic pathway has been established after identifying the catalytic sites and reaction intermediates by in situ DRIFTS study and DFT calculation.

Abstract
Boron-Nitrogen-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BN-PAHs) as novel π-conjugated systems have attracted immense attention owing to their superior optoelectronic properties. However, constructing long-range ordered supramolecular assemblies based on BN-PAHs remains conspicuously scarce, primarily attributed to the constraints arising from coordinating multiple noncovalent interactions and the intrinsic characteristics of BN-PAHs, which hinder precise control over delicate self-assembly processes. Herein, we achieve the successful formation of BN-PAH-based controllable hierarchical assemblies through synergistically leveraged cation-π and C-H···π interactions. By carefully adjusting the solvent conditions in two progressive assembly hierarchies, the one-dimensional (1D) supramolecular assemblies with "rigid yet flexible" assembled units are first formed by cation-π interactions, and then they can be gradually fused into two-dimensional (2D) structures under specific C-H···π interactions, thus realizing the precise control of the transformation process from BN-PAH-based 1D primary structures to 2D higher-order assemblies. The resulting 2D-BNSA, characterized by enhanced electrical conductivity and ordered 2D layered structure, provides anchoring and dispersion sites for loading two appropriate nanocatalysts, thus facilitating the efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction (with a remarkable CH4 evolution rate of 938.7 μmol g-1 h-1) and electrocatalytic acetylene semihydrogenation (reaching a Faradaic efficiency for ethylene up to 98.5%).

Abstract
The primary objective of this review is to present a comprehensive examination of the synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial applications of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). COFs represent a distinct category of porous materials characterized by a blend of advantageous features, including customizable pore dimensions, substantial surface area, and adaptable chemical properties. These attributes position COFs as promising contenders for various applications, notably in the realm of antibacterial activity. COFs exhibit considerable potential in the domain of antibacterial applications, owing to their amenability to functionalization with antibacterial agents. The scientific community is actively exploring COFs that have been imbued with metal ions, such as copper or silver, given their observed robust antibacterial properties. These investigations strongly suggest that COFs could be harnessed effectively as potent antibacterial agents across a diverse array of applications. Finally, COFs hold immense promise as a novel class of materials for antibacterial applications, shedding light on the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of COFs tailored for specific purposes. The potential of COFs as effective antibacterial agents beckons further exploration and underscores their potential to revolutionize antibacterial strategies in various domains.

Abstract
Efficient construction of proton transport channels in proton exchange membranes maintaining conductivity under varied humidity is critical for the development of fuel cells. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold great potential in providing precise and fast ion transport channels. However, the preparation of continuous free-standing COF membranes retaining their inherent structural advantages to realize excellent proton conduction performance is a major challenge. Herein, a zwitterionic COF material bearing positive ammonium ions and negative sulphonic acid ions is developed. Free-standing COF membrane with adjustable thickness is constructed via surface-initiated polymerization of COF monomers. The porosity, continuity, and stability of the membranes are demonstrated via the transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization. The rigidity of the COF structure avoids swelling in aqueous solution, which improves the chemical stability of the proton exchange membranes and improves the performance stability. In the higher humidity range (50-90%), the prepared zwitterionic COF membrane exhibits superior capability in retaining the conductivity compared to COF membrane merely bearing sulphonic acid group. The established strategy shows the potential for the application of zwitterionic COF in the proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

Abstract
The application of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is mostly limited by severe charge recombination and low sunlight utilization. Herein, a triazine-based COF with an electron-rich and large π-conjugated system (TCOF) was employed as a building block and integrated with CuInS2 (CIS) to construct a noble-metal-free and high-efficiency photocatalyst for CO2 reduction. The in situ growth of CIS nanosheets on TCOF creates a p-n heterojunction, named CIS@TCOF. Compared with TCOF, the CIS@TCOF heterostructure exhibits a dramatically boosted photocatalytic performance in the reduction of CO2. The produced HCOOH yield over 10 wt % CIS@TCOF can be up to 171.2 μmol g-1 h-1 under visible light irradiation with good reproducibility, which is about 3 times as high as that over TCOF. Further in-depth studies indicate that the introduction of CIS not only enhances the visible light utilization but also restrains the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs efficiently and facilitates the photoinduced charge transfer via the p-n heterojunction system due to the unique structural and compositional features. This research shows the great potential of COFs as efficient photocatalytic carbon fixation materials and provides a versatile route to construct semiconductor-COF heterostructures for photocatalysis.

Abstract
Burning fossil fuels releases toxic gases into the environment and has negative effects on it. In this study, Persian gum@Graphene oxide (Pg@GO) was synthesized and used as a novel adsorbent for CO2 capture. The characterization of materials was determined through XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, and TGA analysis. The operating parameters including temperature, Pressure, and adsorbent weight were studied and optimized by response surface methodology via Box-Behnken design (RSM-BBD). The highest amount of CO2 adsorption capacity was 4.80 mmol/g, achieved at 300 K and 7.8 bar and 0.4 g of adsorbent weight. To identify the behavior and performance of the Pg@GO, various isotherm and kinetic models were used to fit with the highest correlation coefficient (R2) amounts of 0.955 and 0.986, respectively. The results proved that the adsorption of CO2 molecules on the adsorbent surface is heterogeneous. Based on thermodynamic results, as the value of ΔG° is - 8.169 at 300 K, the CO2 adsorption process is exothermic, and spontaneous.

Abstract
Rising carbon emissions caused by population growth and industrialization is a significant environmental challenge in various countries. To combat this issue, Renewable Energy (RE) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies should be commercialized to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and generate carbon-free energy. One such technology is the use of microalgae, which can directly capture CO2 from the air through photosynthesis and potentially produce biofuels due to their high energy content. However, the carbon capture rate of microalgae varies globally due to numerous parameters and variables affecting microalgae productivity. Additionally, microalgae productivity and carbon capture formulas yield different results worldwide, especially in outdoor industrial-scale cultivation. This research aims to comprehensively review the effective variables and parameters in carbon capture by microalgae based on microalgae productivity and carbon capture formulas. The research also ranked countries based on CO2 production in four different categories to determine whether the biggest carbon producer countries could exhibit suitable weather conditions for microalgae cultivation. Findings reveal optimal ranges of critical variables in the microalgae growth formula, including temperature, solar radiation intensity, Photon Flux Density (PFD), and sunlight duration. The study also analyzes microalgae cultivation, carbon capture, and oxygen production formula in different systems such as Open Ponds (OP), Tubular Photobioreactors (TPBR), and Flat Plate Photobioreactors (FPPBR), while discussing other influential parameters. In conclusion, emphasizing the adjustment and utilization of optimal values of effective parameters in microalgae cultivation not only holds promise for future carbon capture by microalgae but also pushes human beings toward sustainable development goals.

Abstract
Low-dimensional materials serving as photocatalysts favor providing abundant unsaturated active sites and shortening the charge transport distance, but the high surface energy readily causes the aggregation that limits their application. Herein, it is demonstrated that 2D covalent organic framework (COF) TpBD nanosheets are effective in the dispersion and stabilization of 0D Ni(OH)2 . The COF precursor TpBD is synthesized from the Schiff base condensation of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and benzidine (BD) and exfoliated into 2D nanosheets named BDNs via ultrasonication. The formation of highly dispersive 0D Ni(OH)2 on BDNs is reached under a mild weak basic condition, enabling robust active sites for CO2 adsorption/activation and rapid interface cascaded electron transport channels for the accumulation of long-lived photo-generated charges. The champion catalyst 30%Ni-BDNs effectively catalyze the CO2 to CO conversion under visible-light irradiation, offering a high CO evolution rate of 158.4 mmol g-1 h-1 and turnover frequency of 51 h-1 . By contrast, the counterpart photocatalyst, the bulk TpBD stabilized Ni(OH)2 , affords a much lower CO evolution rate and selectivity. This work demonstrates a new avenue to simultaneously construct efficient active sites and electron transport channels by coupling 0D metal hydroxides and 2D COF nanosheets for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
Improving the electronic conductivity and the structural robustness of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is paramount. Here, we covalently cross-link a 2D COF with polypyrrole (Ppy) chains to form a quasi-3D COF. The 3D COF shows well-defined reflections in the SAED patterns distinctly indexed to its modeled crystal structure. This knitting of 2D COF layers with conjugated polypyrrole units improves electronic conductivity from 10-9 to 10-2 S m-1. This conductivity boost is affirmed by the presence of density of states near the Fermi level in the 3D COF, and this elevates the COF's valence band maximum by 0.52 eV with respect to the parent 2D pyrrole-functionalized COF, which agrees well with the opto-electro band gaps. The extent of HOMO elevation suggests the predominant existence of a polaron state (radical cation), giving rise to a strong EPR signal, most likely sourced from the cross-linking polypyrrole chains. A supercapacitor devised with COF20-Ppy records a high areal capacitance of 377.6 mF cm-2, higher than that of the COF loaded with noncovalently linked polypyrrole chains. Thus, the polypyrrole acts as a "conjugation bridge" across the layers, lowering the band gap and providing polarons and additional conduction pathways. This marks a far-reaching approach to converting many 2D COFs into highly ordered and conducting 3D ones.

Abstract
Diaryl and di-heteroaryl sulfides exist in the structure of many drugs and important biological compounds, also these compounds are well-known in medicinal chemistry due to important biological and pharmaceutical activities. Therefore, the development of novel, ecofriendly and efficient catalytic systems for the preparation of diaryl and di-heteroaryl sulfides is a very attractive and important challenge in organic synthesis. In this attractive methodology, we wish to introduce Fe3O4-supported 3-amino-4-mercaptobenzoic acid copper complex (Fe3O4@AMBA-CuI) nanomaterials as a novel and efficient magnetically recoverable catalyst for the preparation of heteroaryl-aryl and di-heteroaryl sulfides with high yields through reaction of heteroaryl halides with aryl or heteroaryl boronic acids and S8 as the sulfur source under ecofriendly conditions. This catalytic system was very efficient and practical for a diverse range of heteroaryl substrates including benzothiazole, benzoxazole, benzimidazole, oxadiazole, benzofuran, and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, because the desired diaryl and di-heteroaryl sulfides were prepared with high yields. The reusability-experiments revealed that the Fe3O4@AMBA-CuI nanocatalyst can be magnetically separated and reused at least six times without a significant decrease in its catalytic activity. VSM and ICP-OES analyses confirmed that despite using the Fe3O4@AMBA-CuI nanocatalyst 6 times, the magnetic properties and stability of the catalyst were still maintained. Although all the obtained heteroaryl-aryl and di-heteroaryl sulfide products are known and previously reported, the synthesis of this number of heteroaryl-aryl and di-heteroaryl sulfides has never been reported by any previouse methods.

Abstract
The evolution and formation process of two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) primarily arise from the anisotropic growth of crystals, leading to variations in photocatalytic performance. It is crucial to achieve a synergistic combination of anisotropic electron transfer direction and dimension reduction strategies. In this study, a novel approach that effectively blocks crystal growth accretion through the coordination of solvent molecules is presented, achieving the successful synthesis of impurity-free two-dimensional nanosheet Zn-PTC with exceptional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance (15.4 mmol g-1 h-1 ). The structural and photophysical characterizations validate the successful prevention of crystal accretion, while establishing correlation between structural anisotropy and intrinsic charge transfer mode through transient spectroscopy. These findings unequivocally demonstrate that electron transfer along the [001] direction plays a pivotal role in the redox performance of nano-Zn-PTC. Subsequently, by coupling the photocatalytic performance and density functional theory (DFT) simulation calculations, the carrier diffusion kinetics is explored, revealing that effective dimension reduction along the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) direction is the key to achieving superior photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 to a sole carbonaceous product using photocatalysis is a sustainable solution for alleviating the increasing levels of CO2 emissions and reducing our dependence on nonrenewable resources such as fossil fuels. However, developing a photoactive, metal-free catalyst that is highly selective and efficient in the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) without the need for sacrificial agents, cocatalysts, and photosensitizers is challenging. Furthermore, due to the poor solubility of CO2 in water and the kinetically and thermodynamically favored hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), designing a highly selective photocatalyst is challenging. Here, we propose a molecular engineering approach to design a photoactive polymer with high CO2 permeability and low water diffusivity, promoting the mass transfer of CO2 while suppressing HER. We have incorporated a contorted triptycene scaffold with "internal molecular free volume (IMFV)" to enhance gas permeability to the active site by creating molecular channels through the inefficient packing of polymer chains. Additionally, we introduced a pyrene moiety to promote visible-light harvesting capability and charge separation. By leveraging these qualities, the polymer exhibited a high CO generation rate of 77.8 μmol g-1 h-1, with a high selectivity of ∼98% and good recyclability. The importance of IMFV was highlighted by replacing the contorted triptycene unit with a planar scaffold, which led to a selectivity reversal favoring HER over CO2RR in water. In situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (TRPL), and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) techniques, further supported by theoretical calculations, were employed to enlighten the mechanistic insight for metal-free CO2 reduction to exclusively CO in water.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution through water splitting offers a promising way to convert solar energy into chemical energy. Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are ideal photocatalysts owing to its exceptional in-plane π-conjugation, high chemical stability, and sturdy framework structure. However, CTF-based photocatalysts are typically in powder form, which presents challenges in catalyst recycling and scale-up applications. To overcome this limitation, we present a strategy for producing CTF films with excellent hydrogen evolution rate that are more suitable for large-scale water splitting due to their ease of separation and recyclability. We developed a simple and robust technique for producing CTF films on glass substrates via in-situ growth polycondensation, with thicknesses adjustable from 800 nm to 27 μm. These CTF films exhibit exceptional photocatalytic activity, with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance reaching as high as 77.8 mmol h-1 g-1 and 213.3 mmol m-2 h-1 with co-catalyst Pt under visible light (≥420 nm). Additionally, they demonstrate good stability and recyclability, further highlighting their potential in green energy conversion and photocatalytic devices. Overall, our work presents a promising approach for producing CTF films suitable for a range of applications and paves the way for further developments in this field.

Abstract
Constructing an efficient visible light-responsive antibacterial material for water treatment remains a principal goal yet is a huge challenge. Herein, a 2D/2D heterojunction composite with robust interfacial contact, named MXene/CN (MCN), was controllably fabricated by using a urea molecule intercalated into MXene following an in situ calcination method, which can realize the rapid separation and migration of photogenerated carriers under visible light irradiation and significantly improve the carrier concentration of the MXene surface, thus generating more reactive oxygen species. The generation of heat induced by MXene could also increase photogenic electron activity to facilitate the photocatalytic reaction using in situ time-resolved photoluminescence characterization. The visible light-activated germicide exhibits a sterilization efficacy against Escherichia coli of 99.70%, higher than those of pure CN (60.21%) and MXene (31.75%), due to the effect of photothermally assisted photocatalytic treatment. This work is an attempt to construct a visible light-driven antimicrobial material using Schottky junctions achieving photothermally assisted photocatalytic disinfection.

Abstract
Three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs), with interconnected pores and exposed functional groups, provide new opportunities for the design of advanced functional materials through postsynthetic modification. Herein, we demonstrate the successful postsynthetic annulation of 3D COFs to construct efficient CO2 reduction photocatalysts. Two 3D COFs, NJU-318 and NJU-319Fe, were initially constructed by connecting hexaphenyl-triphenylene units with pyrene- or Fe-porphyrin-based linkers. Subsequently, the hexaphenyl-triphenylene moieties within the COFs were postsynthetically transformed into π-conjugated hexabenzo-trinaphthylene (pNJU-318 and pNJU-319Fe) to enhance visible light absorption and CO2 photoreduction activity. The optimized photocatalyst, pNJU-319Fe, shows a CO yield of 688 μmol g-1, representing a 2.5-fold increase compared to that of unmodified NJU-319Fe. Notably, the direct synthesis of hexabenzo-trinaphthylene-based COF catalysts was unsuccessful due to the low solubility of conjugated linkers. This study not only provides an effective method to construct photocatalysts but also highlights the unlimited tunability of 3D COFs through structural design and postsynthetic modification.
