Sustainable H2O2-mediated photocatalytic nitrate synthesis from air faces carrier imbalance due to slow hole transfer and ultrafast electron migration. We overcome this by integrating sulfur/oxygen dual-polarity units into electron-deficient naphthalene diimide (NDI)-based donor-acceptor (D-A) π-frameworks, achieving spatiotemporal electron-hole decoupling. Experimental and theoretical analyses indicate that this dual-polarity architecture gives rise to tandem endogenous electric fields and robust macroscopic polarization, creating spatially separated “electron platforms” and “hole superchannels,” which reduce recombination and accelerate redox kinetics. Crucially, polarization-induced ordered molecular alignment aligns reactant orientations and lowers N≡N dissociation barriers, enabling concurrent oxygen reduction and nitrogen oxidation. The optimized catalyst achieves a record nitrate yield of 8.89 mg g−1 h−1 with an apparent quantum efficiency of 5.50%, outperforming state-of-the-art metal-free systems. Our work introduces innovative design principles and offers a profound perspective for achieving differential bidirectional control over electron and hole carrier transfer rates.

Methanol, a crucial platform chemical and alternative fuel, has recently gained recognition as a promising hydrogen-storage carrier. The global transition toward carbon-neutral economies, reinforced by increasingly stringent environmental regulations, is driving interest in green methanol synthesis based on renewable hydrogen (produced through water electrolysis powered by renewable energy) and captured CO2 feedstock. This power-to-liquid technology represents a paradigm shift in chemical manufacturing by effectively converting intermittent renewable electricity into a storable liquid fuel or chemical while enabling a closed-loop carbon cycle. This perspective examines the past, present, and future of methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation with a particular emphasis on catalyst and process development, the concept of green methanol, CO2 and H2 sources, and economic considerations. We conclude by discussing the future prospects of CO2 hydrogenation to green methanol with the aim of inspiring critical insights and further research in this field.

Chiral spiroketals are privileged structural motifs that widely appear in natural products, pharmaceutical agents, and chiral catalysts. Nevertheless, catalytic asymmetric methods for synthesizing chiral spiroketals remain scarce. Here, we report an asymmetric catalytic halogenation of racemic olefinic hemiketals to synthesize chiral halo-spiroketals. The approach utilizes a cross-assembled bifunctional catalyst system that integrates a chiral phosphoric acid with an achiral quinoline base. Optimization of the reaction was accomplished mainly by modifying the cost-effective achiral quinoline. The reaction mechanism is characterized by a dynamic kinetic resolution of hemiketal and a diastereoselective bromocyclization, underscoring the critical function of the achiral quinoline base throughout both phases of the catalytic process. The chiral halo-spiroketals are important intermediates for the synthesis of chiral spiroketal phosphine ligands, which can be applied in various asymmetric catalytic reactions. The halogen substituents in the spiroketal phosphine ligands enable late-stage modifications that aid in the selection of suitable ligands for particular reactions.

Using CH4 under ambient conditions remains a major challenge. Although energetic electrons in non-thermal plasma can activate their C–H chemical bonds at ambient temperature and pressure, the target oxygenates are more reactive than the reactants, inevitably leading to excessive oxidation in the plasma. The limited yield restricts their industrial application. Herein, we have designed a plasma reaction mode to realize a plasma reaction-separation coupling technology capable of protecting intermediate products through facile separation to break the conversion-selectivity trade-off. Coupling the high-space-velocity cyclic process with plasma technology can further increase the yield of liquid fuel and reduce the formation of the overoxidation product CO2. This advancement strengthens the viability of plasma for the selective oxidation of methane for industrial applications.

Electrochemical CO2 reduction (eCO2R) holds promise for decarbonizing industrial sectors by producing valuable commodities, such as ethylene. Incorporating polymer electrolyte ionomers onto Cu-based eCO2R cathodes is crucial for enhancing eCO2R efficiency. These ionomers control mass transport, surface chemistry, and water uptake at the cathode, enabling selectivity tuning toward desired C2 products. Complexities and interdependence of interfacial properties have led to challenges within the field to define design properties of catalyst layer ionomers that can enhance the performance of Cu-based catalysts. Herein, we present a systematic investigation into ionomer properties and their relationship to electrochemical performance and demonstrate a 14.3% energy efficiency for ethylene selectivity at 200 mA cm−2. Through multiphysics modeling, we elucidated that the role of the water content of the ionomer is to mitigate flooding and control the local water concentration at the catalyst surface. Translating knowledge from this study will stimulate the synthesis of ionomers tailored for eCO2R.
