Ammonia is a globally produced commodity chemical that is essential in supporting the needs of an expanding population. The traditional Haber-Bosch process for the production of ammonia, although effective, encounters obstacles stemming from its reliance on fossil fuels and substantial energy expenditure. The electrocatalytic NOx reduction reaction (NOxRR) for ammonia synthesis has recently captured interest as a compelling alternative due to its high efficiency and environmentally friendly characteristics. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, with their numerous exposed active sites, substantial specific surface area, excellent conductivity, and readily adjustable electronic properties, offer significant potential for activating NOx species in sustainable NOxRR applications. This review highlights the latest research advancements in the use of 2D materials for electrochemical NOx reduction. We began by providing an overview of the fundamental principles of electrochemical NOx reduction. Next, we introduced recent progress in this field using 2D materials such as graphene, MXene, metal alloys/sulfides, layered double hydroxides, and carbon nitride. We then summarized the state-of-the-art electrochemical systems employed in NOxRR processes. Finally, we discussed the challenges and prospects of NOxRR based on 2D materials, aiming for large-scale industrial implementation in the near future.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have emerged as promising catalysts in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NOx) using NH3. This review highlights the various types of MOF materials commonly applied in NH3-SCR processes, including UiO-66, MIL-101, MIL-100, HKUST-1 (Cu-BTC), ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and other BTC series catalysts. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the NH3-SCR denitrification (de-NOx) reaction mechanism occurring on MOF materials, encompassing active sites, intermediate states, and reaction processes. Furthermore, the review conducts a thorough analysis of the poisoning mechanisms of water, sulfur, alkali metal, and alkaline-earth metal that may occur during NH3-SCR reactions with MOF materials, along with strategies to enhance their tolerance to poisoning. The challenges that MOF materials face in NH3-SCR de-NOx applications are outlined, alongside prospective future directions and applications. Effective strategies, such as constructing protective sites, modifying coordination structures, tuning pore architectures, and designing multi-metal active centers, are proposed to improve the redox and acid cycles and the tolerance to poisoning in NH3-SCR reactions. In conclusion, MOF materials hold tremendous potential in de-NOx catalysis, but practical gaps relative to industrial demands remain. This review aims to bridge these gaps and enhance the feasibility and efficiency of their industrial applications. Attention is drawn to the importance of continued research and development to optimize these materials for practical use, ensuring they meet the robustness, durability, and performance required for large-scale implementation in NH3-SCR de-NOx technologies.

The significant potential of electrocatalytic reduction reactions to address the world's energy crisis and protect the environment has established them as a crucial area of investigation. In recent years, the value of zero-dimensional carbon dots (CDs), which show great promise as electrocatalysts for solving the energy crisis, has become increasingly prominent as research continues to elucidate their large specific surface area, abundant surface functional groups, and unique electron transfer ability. Accordingly, understanding the fundamental relationship between the structures and properties of CDs and their creation mechanism will be critical in directing the synthesis of CDs and achieving superior catalytic performance. Furthermore, it is of particular importance to ascertain the precise source of catalytic activity and to gain an understanding of the reaction mechanism of the catalytic process, given the complexity of the structural composition of CDs. Accordingly, this review initially presents a comprehensive description and analysis of the classification, preparation, performance adjustment, and significance of CDs. On this basis, the latest research advances in improving the electrocatalytic activity and stability of CDs materials are evaluated from the perspectives of advanced in-situ and ex-situ characterization. Furthermore, the challenges and corresponding solutions for the development of high-performance CDs catalysts are highlighted to encourage the generation of innovative thinking and approaches for further investigation based on a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between CDs and electrocatalytic performance. This review is intended to enhance the knowledge of cutting-edge CDs electrocatalysis materials and advance their application in the creation of next-generation high-energy electrocatalytic materials.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), encompassing various metabolic disorders, are considered to be one of the leading global diseases. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has received special attention due to its higher fatality rates, which is regarded as one of the significant CVDs. Hence, there is a huge demand for developing a low-cost diagnostic technique (biosensors) to identify CVDs effectively at premature stages. In this context, various biomaterials have been explored towards the development of CVD biosensors. MXene, being one of the functional next-generation 2D-nanomaterials, finds its potential in diverse healthcare applications because of its superior characteristics. However, in the context of CVD biosensors, MXenes have been finding their significance, and they are yet to be explored in developing point-of-care (PoC) devices. With this motivation, this state-of-the-art comprehensive review has been compiled for the first time, emphasising the background of MXene-based biosensing techniques utilized in CVD diagnosis and treatments. Versatile MXene-based CVD biosensing technologies such as electrochemical (probing of blood biomarkers), electromechanical, Immunochromatographic test strips (ITS), conductive/tissue-engineered cardiac patches, piezoresistive polymer-based strain sensors, heart-on-a-chip/organ-on-a chip microdevices in diagnosis and treatment of CVDs have been spotlighted in this review article. The rationale of MXene and its associated mechanisms are highlighted in this review, along with the critical challenges and perspectives. Further, this review article encourages a broad readership and paves the way forward for developing next-generation PoC devices with bio-inspired MXenes.

Protein aggregation is implicated in numerous pathological conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, and cardiovascular disorders, making it a crucial target for innovative diagnostics and therapeutics. Recent advancements in organic fluorescent probes have transformed the visualization of protein aggregation, enabling non-invasive, real-time imaging with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. This review provides a comprehensive exploration of cutting-edge strategies for designing and applying organic fluorescent probes, with a focus on key classes such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probes, molecular rotors, and conjugated polyelectrolytes. These probes have significantly advanced our ability to detect distinct aggregation stages, from early oligomer formation to mature fibrils, while overcoming challenges such as fluorescence quenching and specificity. By summarizing innovations in multi-modal imaging and near-infrared (NIR) probes, we highlight their strengths and discuss how these advancements may inspire the development of next-generation probes tailored for studying protein aggregation. Finally, we identify opportunities to enhance probe design for improved biocompatibility, quantitative capabilities, super-resolution imaging and therapeutic integration, positioning next-generation fluorescent probes as transformative tools in clinical and research settings.

Globally photocatalysis has been considered the most auspicious technology that can activate and convert organic pollutants into sustainable environment, and renewable energy-related systems. A practical way to increase solar radiation sensitivity and accelerate electron (e−) mobility is to construct semiconductor hetero-interface wide-ranging sunlight-driven photocatalysts. CeVO4 is a ceria-based semiconducting material revealing exceptional photo-physical properties including reversible valence state, high oxygen storing capacity, thermo-mechanically & chemically stable, and abundant mobile oxygen vacancies that assist in the conversion of the associated chemical reactions. Comprehensively summarized important factors affecting the photocatalysis reaction efficiency namely, morphology, crystal facets, defect structure, doping metallic & non-metallic ions, and coupling or formation of hybrid heterojunction with different materials. A considerable effort should be exercised to architect appropriate heterointerfaces, which efficiently promote the absorption of photons under UV, visible, and solar illumination to enrich the immigration of photoexcited charge carriers during the excitation stage, and reduces losses of e−s, while the excitation state is necessary for the outstanding performance of CeVO4 photocatalysis reaction. Intriguing and distinctive characteristics of metallic ion doping, coupling binary, ternary oxides, and carbonaceous materials with CeVO4 photocatalytic systems have drawn much curiosity to build the most efficient photocatalyst technology development. Some external parameters including photo-produced e−−h+ pairs recombination, concentration of the photocatalysts/organic contaminants, pH of solution temperature, and oxidizing agent, significantly influence the photocatalysis reaction process consequently reducing the quantum yield. This review provides valuable insights, and critically assesses recent progress in designing highly efficient and sustainable photocatalytic systems, with broad implications for environmental remediation and renewable energy technologies.

Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), an emerging category of porous crystalline materials, are engineered via intermolecular H-bonding between organic monomers. Distinctive features of HOFs, including ease of solution processing, high crystallinity, and facile regeneration, have sparked significant research interest, providing innovative platforms for diverse multifunctional applications. Here, we summarize the strategies to expand the stability of HOFs, such as strengthening intermolecular interactions (via integrating multiple H-bonds and creating assisted H-bonds), introducing additional intermolecular interactions (including π–π stacking and Van der Waals (VDW) interactions), interpenetration, avoiding donor/acceptor structure formation, and cross-linking. In photocatalysis, visible light absorption is crucial, so to enhance this property of HOFs, several building blocks, including pyrene, perylene, porphyrin, heptazine units, and the addition of metal, are thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, this review explored the creation of heterojunctions, such as conventional heterojunction and Z/S-scheme, as modification strategies, along with their synergistic effects on enhancing the photocatalytic performance of HOF-based materials. With the growing immense potential applications of current HOF-related research in addressing critical environmental and energy challenges, this review emphasizes advancements in dyes and antibiotics degradation, energy conversion processes such as CO2 conversion, H2 and O2 evolution, and reduction of toxic metal-ions, especially U(VI). Lastly, the forthcoming prospects and challenges related to HOFs are explored.

Dithiolenes are a unique class of non-innocent ligands known for their ligand-centered redox activity and ability to stabilize multiple oxidation states. Their electronic properties can be fine-tuned by varying the metal center, making metal-dithiolene complexes particularly versatile. This review focuses on the electronic structure of dithiolene complexes of first-row transition metals, highlighting their redox behavior and bonding characteristics. These insights are critical for designing systems with targeted electronic properties. In the context of clean energy, metal-dithiolene complexes have gained attention as electrocatalysts, particularly for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), a vital component of water splitting. These complexes, along with 1D, 2D, and 3D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or coordination polymers (CPs) incorporating dithiolenes, have demonstrated significant HER activity in both organic and aqueous media. We discuss key studies exploring their performance and delve into mechanistic insights that reveal how these materials facilitate hydrogen generation. Despite recent advances, the field faces challenges such as understanding the long-term stability of these systems, optimizing their activity under practical conditions, and exploring their scalability for industrial applications, as well as efforts to increase the conductivity of the standalone materials.

Interpenetration is a common phenomenon existed in porous crystalline materials like covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Although the development of COFs has made prosperous achievements during past years, the interpenetration phenomenon has still been paid less attention in this field. In view of this, this review will summarize the recent progress of interpenetrated phenomenon in 3D COFs, including their types, syntheses and related applications. It aims to summarize the strategies to control the interpenetration degree in 3D COFs. In comparison to 2D COFs and 3D non-interpenetrated COFs, characteristics of 3D interpenetrated COFs with different interpenetration degrees are comprehensively compiled, with a focus on topological structure and, in particular, on the applications of 3D interpenetrated COFs in different aspects. We also navigate through the challenges and opportunities of the interpenetrated phenomenon in 3D COFs. Overall, this review aims to deliver new guidance for the future advancement of 3D interpenetrated COFs.

The valorization of carbon dioxide into high-value-added hydrocarbons, especially light olefins (C2-C4=) through sustainable energy input holds significant industrial value, offering a route for producing essential chemical feedstocks while simultaneously mitigating the emission of this potent greenhouse gas. Despite significant advancements in CO2 hydrogenation technologies, developing efficient catalysts capable of effectively managing CO bond activation and facilitating CC bond growth with high conversion rates and desired selectivity for low-carbon olefins, remains a significant challenge. This high-caliber review explores the transformative potential of CO2 valorization into C2-C4=, offering an innovative pathway to produce vital chemical feedstocks while addressing greenhouse gas emissions. Focusing on the CO2-modified Fischer-Tropsch synthesis through iron-catalyst, recognized for its energy efficiency and suitability for C2-C4= production through thermocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation. Key highlights include in-depth analyses of the dynamic nature of catalytically active iron phases, novel materials, and state-of-the-art catalyst design strategies to overcome the challenges of Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) limitations and low olefin selectivity. With a comprehensive discussion on reaction mechanisms, catalyst composition, and performance-driving factors, this review sets the stage for pioneering advancements in catalyst development. Thus, by bridging fundamental insights with cutting-edge technologies, this work provides strategic guidance for developing the next generation of efficient and sustainable catalytic systems for CO2 hydrogenation.
