Doping and interface engineering are both pivotal strategies for enhancing the selectivity of CO 2 reduction catalysts. However, as these strategies have often been explored independently, the question of which is more effective or whether their effects can be synergistically combined remains open. Given that doping and interfaces serve as crystallographic defects, they can be engineered to coexist within the same crystal structure. In this study, we strategically introduced both defects into a copper catalyst by modulating the indium content during crystal growth. Our investigation into the electrochemical performance of these catalysts for CO conversion reveals that while doping consistently enhances conversion selectivity, the presence of Cu/In interfaces disrupts this trend. The most promising catalyst, with 3% indium doping, demonstrated an impressive CO selectivity of 95.38±1.5% and a partial current density of -2.25 mA cm - ² at -0.8 V vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE). This research provides critical insights into the complex interplay between doping and interface engineering, offering a new pathway for the rational design of highly selective CO 2 reduction catalysts.

Although many researchers have reported CO 2 hydrogenation to various C1 chemicals, it is still challenging to directly and selectively convert CO 2 to C 2 -C 4 hydrocarbons in terms of overcoming the extreme inertness of CO 2 and a high C C coupling barrier. In the present work, we report an efficient integration of methanol-synthesis and the methanol-to-hydrocarbons with the bifunctional catalyst component of In 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 and SAPO-5. These tandem reactions exhibit an excellent relative selectivity of C 2 -C 4 (83%) with a suppressed CH 4 relative selectivity less than 3% at T = 300 °C. A detailed analysis indicates that the partially reduced indium oxide surface (In 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 ) can better activate CO 2 and promote the synthesis of methanol than In 2 O 3 alone, and C C coupling is subsequently manipulated within the confined acidic pores of SAPO-5 according to XRD, H 2 -TPR, CO 2 -TPD, SEM and TEM. Furthermore, the proximity of two components and the content of Si also play an important role in such outstanding selectivity to C 2 -C 4 . Our study paves a new path for the direct synthesis of lower hydrocarbons.

The present work reports on the promoting effects of rare earth elements (La, Ce and Y) to FeK/Al 2 O 3 catalysts on liquid hydrocarbons from CO 2 hydrogenation. The addition of La, Ce and Y can both improve the selectivity of C 5+ hydrocarbons and reduce the selectivity of CH 4 . The C 5+ selectivity can enhance to about 60 % with CH 4 selectivity of around 11 % at CO 2 conversions above 20 %. N 2 adsorption–desorption, in situ XRD, H 2 –TPR, CO 2 /H 2 –TPD, HRTEM and XPS are used to characterize the FeK/Al 2 O 3 and FeK/M-Al 2 O 3 (M = La, Ce, Y) catalysts. The results show that the introduction of rare earth elements into the FeK/Al 2 O 3 catalyst obviously reduces the adsorption of H 2 , which suppresses the CH 4 formation. On the other hand, rare earth elements also promote the adsorbed CO 2 species, which leads to the enhanced liquid hydrocarbons selectivity. Finally, the tailored CO 2 /H 2 ratio of CO 2 and H 2 adsorption on the catalyst surface can influence the catalyst activity and the product selectivity evidently.

Porous liquids (PLs), as a novel liquid sorbent with permanent porosity, still present challenges such as high viscosity and melting temperatures. Herein, an efficient electrostatic repulsion strategy is proposed to engineer zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) type III PLs employing ZIF-8- g -BPEI nanoparticle stability dispersed into BPEI. The viscosity and melting temperatures of ZIF-8- g -BPEI PLs could be tailored via control particle size, grafting polymer, and concentration of porous nanoparticles . The existence of BPEI on the surface of ZIF-8- g -BPEI facilitates the stable dispersion of ZIFs nanoparticles in BPEI via the electrostatic repulsion as well as enhances CO 2 adsorption capacity of PLs. Moreover, the CO 2 adsorption amount of ZIF-8- g -BPEI-30 PLs is 6.5 times high than that of neat BPEI, suggesting the permanent free volume of ZIFs is retained in their corresponding PLs. Benefiting from the branched structure of BPEI grafted onto the outer surface of ZIFs , ZIF-8- g -BPEI-10 PLs remain liquified down to -71.1 °C, together with viscosity as 1.7 Pa·s −1 at 25 °C. Therefore, the electrostatic repulsion strategy opens an effective avenue to prepare novel liquid materials and shows numerous potential applications in gas adsorption and separation.

Effective control of bleeding is critical to saving lives whether on the battle field or in civilian life. Microporous starch (MS) is a promising hemostat for its extensive sources, huge surface area and good biocompatibility. However, the hemostatic performance of MS is limited because of its complex preparation process and lack of effective component to activate coagulation factors . Herein, porous starch microspheres modified by calcium (Ca-PSM) with dense shell and honeycomb micro-porous core were prepared by electrostatic spray and supercritical CO 2 for the first time. The topological morphology of Ca-PSM changed with the increase of Tween-80 content within 0.5%. Ca-PSM possessed excellent water absorbability due to high specific surface area, and what's more, it showed good hemostatic performance because of the synergistic effects of physical adsorption and chemical activation mechanisms. The results of thrombelastograph (TEG) showed that the initial clotting time (R) and coagulation time (R + K) of Ca-PSM-1 were shortened by 47.1%, 53.3% than that of control group. The maximum blood clot strength (MA) of Ca-PSM-1 was also significantly raised. Furthermore, it was noteworthy that Ca-PSM could activate clotting cascade and induce erythrocyte adsorption. In summary, Ca-PSM as a hemostat will be a promising and alternative candidate for clinical application.

Surface grafting modification was proposed to improve the surface polarity of polyacrylonitrile hollow fiber-supported polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane. The initiator 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane containing one amine group was integrated into PDMS, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) with strong polarity was connected to the surface by reacting with amine groups. Surface grafting modification was proven on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The sharp decrease (from ∼98° to ∼28°) in water contact angle of the PDMS membrane indicated the significant improvement in surface polarity after the modification. The surface roughness of the PDMS membrane increased with the modification, and the PDMS surface immersed for 40 s was almost covered with PVP. The membrane immersed in PVP solution for 10 s improved CO 2 /H 2 , CO 2 /CH 4 , and CO 2 /N 2 selectivities . While CO 2 permeance slightly decreased from ∼2500 GPU to ∼2440 GPU. For the separation of CO 2 /CH 4 and CO 2 /N 2 mixed gases , all CO 2 /CH 4 and CO 2 /N 2 selectivities were improved after the modification. For the separation of CO 2 /H 2 mixed gas, CO 2 /H 2 selectivity was improved when the immersion time was below 30 s.

The excessive emission of industrial CO 2 seriously threatens the living environment of human beings. In this paper, we propose a CO 2 sensing method based on cyclic microfluidic and dynamic flow detection technology. Firstly, a microflow permeation model was established to describe the numerical relationship between CO 2 permeation flux and gas phase inlet concentration and velocity. Secondly, we designed a microfluidic chip with coupled gas–liquid circulation and optimized its channel structure. Based on this, a microflow fluorescence response sensing system was built to analyze the fluorescence response spectral characteristics under different CO 2 permeation fluxes. Then, the optimal gas flow rate selection strategy for different CO 2 concentrations was proposed, and the CO 2 dynamic sensing model was established. Finally, the reliability of the proposed detection method is verified by comparing the detection results of commercial sensors with standard gases. The results indicate that the linear correlation coefficient between the relative fluorescence intensity and CO 2 concentration of the proposed CO 2 dynamic sensing method is 0.9987, the detection error of low concentration range is 193.3 ppb, and the detection error of high concentration range is less than 193.3 ppm. Compared with the parallel flow mixing device, the gas–liquid circulation-coupled microfluidic chip designed in this paper has better gas–liquid mixing effect. The system can operate continuously in the air for 40 weeks. Compared with commercial sensors, it has the advantages of better reusability, high linearity and low detection error in the whole range.

Heterojunction engineering significantly enhances photocatalytic CO 2 reduction performance. However, a large lattice mismatch in heterostructures hinders photocatalytic reaction by forming extensive grain boundaries, inefficient interfaces, and sluggish interfacial charge transfer. Metal halide perovskites, featuring soft lattices induced by weak ionic metal-halide bonds, offer effective solutions to alleviate such mismatches. Herein, we fabricate BaTiO 3 /CsPbBr 3 photocatalysts with a precisely engineered type-II heterojunction. Notably, the BaTiO 3 /CsPbBr 3 heterostructure achieves a CO formation rate of 17.3 μmol∙g −1 h −1 — 5.2-fold and 2.3-fold higher than pristine BaTiO 3 (3.3 μmol∙g −1 h −1 ) and CsPbBr 3 (7.6 μmol∙g −1 h −1 ), respectively. This improvement stems from the synergistic effect of enhanced light absorption and charge separation. This work provides fundamental insights for developing high-performance heterojunction photocatalysts.

The diatomic catalysts (DACs) provide a new strategy for efficient catalysis of CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) owing to their maximum atomic utility and more flexible active sites. However, it is still challenging to precisely design heteronuclear diatomic active centers and understand the coordination mechanism of binary sites at the atomic level. Herein, a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix with precisely controlled Fe–Cu diatom sites is synthesized through a metal–organic framework. The as-obtained Fe/Cu–N–C catalyst exhibits an excellent CO faradaic efficiency (>95% over a wide potential range of −0.4 to −1.1 V vs. RHE, 99.2% at −0.8 V vs. RHE), a high turnover frequency (5047 h−1 at −1.1 V vs. RHE), and a low overpotential (50 mV), thus outperforming most reported atomically dispersed catalysts. Further density functional theory calculations indicate that the synergy between Fe–Cu diatoms causes rapid charge transfer and effectively adjusts the position of the d-band center, which reduces the energy barriers for *COOH formation and *CO desorption. This work provides a new approach for advancing universal synthesis strategies to construct heteronuclear diatomic catalysts and explore synergistic effects.

As an emerging category of crystalline porous materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are primarily synthesized via solvothermal methods. However, achieving rapid synthesis of COFs through this approach poses a significant challenge. To address the issue of slow synthesis, we studied the crystallization process of aminal-linked COFs via the condensation of a cost-effective aldehyde and secondary amine, and successfully expedited the synthesis of COFs within a one-hour duration. Furthermore, gram-scale aminal-linked COFs with abundant ultra-microporous channels demonstrated promising potential for CO2/CH4 separation. This study enables the rapid synthesis of aminal-linked COFs from cheap raw materials, which lays a foundation for their practical applications.

CO 2 copolymer diol (PPCD) with superior transparency is an indispensable raw material for the polyurethane, especially for waterborne polyurethane coatings. However, commercial PPCD is generally opaque. In this work, A sustainable, colorless and transparent PPCD was prepared by using carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and propylene oxide (PO) as raw materials. Research shows that the increase in CO 2 content (from 23.5 wt.% to 31.5 wt.%) will affect the transparency and thermal stability of PPCD and the transparency of PPCD with 29.1 wt.% CO 2 content is even higher than 90%, while the 5 wt.% mass loss temperature reaches 240.1 ℃. Furthermore, a series of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was successfully synthesized by prepolymer method with PPCD as the soft segment. With the increase of CO 2 content, the thermodynamic property of WPU was significantly improved. When CO 2 content increased from 23.50 wt.% to 31.50 wt.%, the tensile strength increased from 23.27 MPa to 34.63 MPa and the elongation at break decreased from 750.85% to 520.37%, accompanied by the glass-transition temperature increased from -49.7 ℃ to -34.5 ℃. In addition, it was found that WPU prepared by transparent PPCD has better tensile strength, transparency, and storage stability. A new inspiration was provided for its application in the fields of optical components, transparent medical materials and UV curable coatings.

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (ECR) to value-added products provides a pathway to reduce CO 2 emission and to enable a closed carbon cycle. Compared to powdered catalysts, self-supporting electrocatalysts have more prominent advantages such as high charge transfer capacity and the ability to serve directly as working electrodes without the need for binders. Herein, a self-supporting catalyst featuring SnO 2 nanoparticles incorporated into porous carbon nanofiber (SnO 2 -PCNF) was crafted via electrospinning followed by annealing in CO 2 . SnO 2 -PCNF can directly function as working electrode for ECR to produce HCOOH, achieving a high Faradaic efficiency of 92.3%. Also, the SnO 2 -PCNF can stably catalyze ECR process for more than 50 h. Theoretical calculations and in-situ Raman spectroscopy elucidate the underlying ECR mechanism over SnO 2 -PCNF, wherein the catalyst significantly reduces the energy barrier of the rate-determining step. This effectively suppresses the competitive hydrogen generation. This work provides some insights into design of binder-free and high-performance ECR electrocatalysts.
