Abstract

The catalytic transferred of small molecules into high-value chemical products in green methods are highly perused, and has obtained huge attention. In this field, great progress has been achieved during the past five years. Followed by the roadmap (Chinese Chemical Letters, 2019, 30, 2089–2109) written by us before five years, we think that it should be updated to give more insights in this field. Thus, we write the present roadmap based on the fast changed background. In this roadmap, oxygen and carbon dioxide reduction reactions (including at high temperature), photocatalytic hydrogen generation and carbon dioxide reduction reactions, (photo)electrocatalytic reduction of O₂ to H₂O₂ and NH₃ generated from N₂ are discussed. The progress and challenges in above catalytic processes are given. We believe this manuscript will give the researchers more suggestions and help them to obtain useful information in this field.
