Summary: Carbon materials with different nanostructures and high surface area have emerging applications in electrocatalytic and photocatalytic CO2 utilization. However, the photocatalytic efficiency of pristine carbon is low, so it is usually combined with other materials to increase CO2 absorption and conversion. Carbon-based materials with transition metals and organometallic complexes are commonly used as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

Summary: The researchers developed a new CsPbBr3-Co3O4 heterostructure photocatalyst with effective charge separation for efficient CO2 reduction. The CsPbBr3-Co3O4 composite showed a significantly enhanced evolution rate of CO and CH4 compared to pristine CsPbBr3 or Co3O4. The high activity was mainly attributed to efficient charge separation and directional electron transfer. Additionally, the unique surface features of the composite facilitated CO2 adsorption and electron accumulation at the Co3O4 site, promoting CO2 conversion. This study provides a strategy for designing active photocatalysts and constructing heterointerfaces for CO2 reduction.

Summary: This study reports the synthesis of Zn-based polyoxometalate (ZnPOM) for selective production of CH4 in the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction. The mechanism involves the fast transfer of photogenerated electrons from an Ir-based photosensitizer (TIr3) to ZnPOM and effective transfer of electrons from ZnPOM to *CO intermediates due to significant hybridization of their molecular orbitals. This research provides insights into the design of novel CO2RR catalysts for CH4 production beyond the limitations of conventional Cu-based materials.

Summary: Catalytic membrane based oxidation-filtration processes (AOP-CM) provide an efficient water purification strategy by combining physical separation and chemical oxidation. However, the low efficiency of heterogeneous AOPs in catalytic membranes has hampered the application of AOP-CM. To improve the efficiency, an isoporous AlOx/La2CoMnO6-delta ceramic membrane (IAPCM) with nano-confinement characteristics was prepared. The well-designed pore structure of IAPCM resulted in excellent water permeance and size-exclusion performance. Addition of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) enabled ultrafast degradation of organic micropollutants in the IAPCM system. This work emphasizes the significance of pore structure design for high-performance AOP-CM processes.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.
