Summary: Photocatalytic organosilicon transformation is a green synthetic strategy that utilizes light-induced electron-hole pairs to trigger chemical reactions. However, the lack of reactive sites on heterogeneous photocatalysts hinders the synthesis of silyl ethers. In this study, sulfur vacancies on ultrathin CdS nanosheets were found to function as Lewis acid sites for the activation of silanes, promoting charge separation. The CdS nanosheets with sulfur vacancies demonstrated excellent photocatalytic performance for silyl ethers synthesis and simultaneous hydrogen production. This strategy of creating abundant Lewis acid sites on photocatalysts has broad implications for the development of high-performance photocatalysts for organosilicon transformations.

Summary: The integration of catalytic production and separation of biphenyl (with a purity of 99.7%) was successfully achieved by combining Suzuki cross-coupling reactions and crystallization separation. A hierarchical-structured impeller loaded with Pd nanoparticles on Ni(OH)(2) nanosheets catalyzed the reactions with high turnover frequency (TOF) value of 25,976 h(-1) and a yield of 99.5%. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis revealed that enhanced catalytic activity was due to electron transfer between the Pd nanoparticles and Ni(OH)(2).

Summary: Ternary composites of reduced graphene oxide (GR)-CdS-Pd were synthesized for photocatalytic conversion of benzyl alcohol (BA) and hydrogen (H2) production, showing enhanced photoactivity and selectivity compared to bare CdS. The close interface contact and energy level alignment between GR nanosheets (NSs) and CdS nanoparticles (NPs) in the composite improved carrier separation and transfer, as well as the photocorrosion resistance of CdS. Photodeposited Pd NPs further promoted charge separation and intermediate product formation, leading to increased conversion of BA. This work enables the rational design of GR-based photocatalysts for fine chemical synthesis and H2 evolution.

Summary: In this study, a new class of carbene-Au-carbazolate complexes with twisted D-A conformation were developed. The presence of large aromatic substituents restricted the rotation of the Au-N bond, resulting in a twisted orientation. The twisted conformation decreased the energy gap between the lowest singlet excited state and the triplet manifold, and accelerated the reverse intersystem crossing rate, leading to improved delayed fluorescence efficiency.

Summary: In this study, a type I heterojunction was formed by loading CoP on the surface of CdS, which increased the photocurrent density and solved the problem of CdS photocorrosion. The best photocatalytic performance reached 4.43 mmolg(-1) h(-1) under visible light when the loading of CoP was 10%, which was 20.1 times higher than that of CdS (0.22 mmolg(-1) h(-1)). After 5 cycles of simulated solar irradiation, the performance of 10% CoP/CdS remained at 93% of the initial test. This work provides new ideas for the design of low photocorrosion and high-performance catalysts.

Summary: Segregation-less Pd1Ag1 alloy nanoparticles were successfully fabricated for the electro-reforming of waste PET into glycolate C-2 products with high selectivity (97%) and long-term stability (>500 h). The addition of Ag atoms improved glycolate selectivity by reducing its adsorption on Pd active sites, and the surface *OH species generated on Ag sites facilitated the rapid oxidation of toxic carbonyl species, thereby improving the stability of Pd sites. Therefore, the synergistic effects of Pd1Ag1 NPs provide an effective way for practical electro-reforming of real-world waste PET into value-added products with high selectivity and stability.
