“…The delocalized electrons could trigger exceptional electronic properties in catalysis applications due to important alterations in both the orbital of cluster unit and the total electronic distribution of assembly structure. However, the formation of self-assembly structure is generally entropy-dominated leading to face-centered cubic staking 118 . Manipulating the size, dimension, and shape of POM-based assembly is great significance in articulating the cluster-based interfacial effect at the atomic and molecular level.…”

Electro/photo-catalytic CO2 reduction to value-added chemicals and fuels is being actively studied as a promising pathway for renewable energy storage and climate change mitigation. Since the inert molecular properties and the competing hydrogen generation reaction, the development of high-performance electrocatalysts with high Faradaic efficiency and product selectivity but low overpotential is in urgent need. Polyoxometalate (POM) is a class of polynuclear metal oxide clusters with precise atomic structure, thus providing ideal research platform to reveal the relationship between macroscopic properties and microstructure. Moreover, the highly tunable redox properties and the abundant transition-metal atom composition ensure thriving research for POM-based nanostructures towards CO2 reduction. In this review, we firstly introduce the specific roles of POM in electro/photo-catalytic CO2 reduction. The recent advances in POM-based nanostructures ranging from single cluster, assemblies, organic-inorganic hybrids, to derivatives are systematically summarized. Particularly, the structure-performance relationship of POM-based nanostructures is discussed at the atomic and molecular level. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in the design of high-efficiency POM-based nanostructures are proposed for inspiring the development of electro/photo-catalytic CO2 reduction field.

<p>Inorganic, organic, and hybrid two-dimensional (2D) materials are being developed for ever-expanding numbers of applications, though energy and catalysis remain the main drivers of their development. We present overviews of bottom-up and top-down synthetic strategies of such materials and examine manufacturing scalability issues. Mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties and their modulation are highlighted because they are fundamental to the above-mentioned drivers. The burgeoning importance of heterostructures in such materials, particularly for catalysis and electrode design and function is stressed. Detailed attention is given to applications of 2D materials to the electrocatalysis reactions: oxygen reduction, oxygen evolution, hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen reduction. Water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen reduction by photocatalysis are also examined. A perspective of expected advances in the expansion of applications and types of 2D materials, with a focus on heterostructure development, is presented in the conclusion.</p>

“…SACs feature inherently unsaturated coordination configuration and flexibly adjustable coordination environments [42]. The discrete energy level and highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gap induced by the quantum size effect contribute to unique catalytic activity [43,44]. The appropriate support effect can not only stabilize the single atom site but also accelerate mass transport and charge transfer [45,46].…”

The electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to yield high-value added fuels and chemicals provides a promising approach towards global carbon neutrality. Constant endeavors have been devoted to the exploration of high-efficiency catalyst with rapid reaction kinetics, low energy input, and high selectivity. In addition to the maximum metal atomic utilization and unique catalytic performance of single-atom catalyst (SAC), dual-atomic-site catalysts (DASCs) offer more sophisticated and tunable atomic structure through the modulations of another adjacent metal atom, which can bring new opportunities for CO 2 RR as a deeper extension of SACs and have recently aroused surging interest. In this review, we highlight the recent advances on DASCs for enhancing CO 2 RR. First, the classification, synthesis, and identification of DASCs are provided according to the geometric structure and electronic configuration of dual-atomic active sites. Then, the catalytic applications of DASCs in CO 2 RR are categorized based on marriage-type, hetero-nuclear, and homo-nuclear dual-atomic sites. Particularly, the structure-activity relationship of DASCs in CO 2 RR is elaborately summarized through systematically analyzing the reaction pathways and the atom structures. Finally, the opportunities and challenges are proposed for inspiring the design of future DASCs with high structural accuracy and high CO 2 RR activity and selectivity.
