Single-atom catalysts (SACs) as the new frontier in heterogeneous catalysis have attracted increasing attention. However, the rational design of SACs with high catalytic activities for specified reactions still remains challenging. Herein, we report the rational design of a Pd-Pd synergistic structure on -pyridinedicarbonitrile-derived covalent triazine framework () as an efficient active site for CO hydrogenation to formate under ambient conditions. Compared with the catalysts mainly comprising Pd and Pd, this hybrid catalyst presented significantly improved catalytic activity. By regulating the ratio of Pd to Pd, we obtained the optimal catalytic activity with a formate formation rate of 3.66 mol·mol ·h under ambient conditions (30°C, 0.1 MPa). Moreover, as a heterogeneous catalyst, this hybrid catalyst is easily recovered and exhibits about a 20% decrease in the catalytic activity after five cycles. These findings are significant in elucidating new rational design principles for CO hydrogenation catalysts with superior activity and may open up the possibilities of converting CO under ambient conditions.

Selective conversion of organic pollutants in wastewater into value-added chemicals is a promising strategy for sustainable water management. Electrochemical processes offer attractive features of precise control over reaction pathway to achieve desired products, however, the traditional anode-mediated processes still face challenges of over-oxidation by the inevitably formed of hydroxyl radical (HO). Herein, we proposed a new cathode-mediated approach for selective conversion of phenol to p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) through peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation.

Although Z-scheme heterojunction composites have been widely studied in photocatalysis, in-depth investigation of oxygen vacancies (Ov) in the Z-scheme photocatalysts is still rare. Herein, an oxygen vacancies modified NU-1000/BiOCl-Ov composite with Z-scheme heterojunction was rationally designed and fabricated. The combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiment verified the presence of oxygen vacancies, meanwhile the Z-scheme charge transfer across the heterojunction interface was confirmed in detail by the in situ-XPS, Kelvin probe force microscope (KPFM) studies, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), EPR radical capture experiment, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculation.
