Their performance in catalytic reactions is closely related to the shape, surface structure, and composition. In the past two decades, a number of in-situ experiments have observed that under real reaction conditions, the structures of metal NPs are not static, but undergo remarkable dynamic evolution due to the presence of gas molecules. Therefore, it is imminent to develop reliable theoretical models to provide accurate predictions and comprehensive understandings of the structure reconstructions and dynamic behaviors of catalysts in response to the different reactive environments. In this review, we summarize a series of progress and achievements made by first-principle-based theoretical models in analyzing the shape evolution of metal NPs and surface segregation of alloys under different gas conditions in recent years. We also discuss the understanding of the catalytic performance of NPs by considering the reaction-condition-dependent structures.

However, the fabrication of a well-suited Z-scheme remains a challenge. In this work, we constructed a Z-scheme system with a suitable band structure by in-situ hydrothermal growth of In2S3 nanosheets on electrospun Fe3C/Carbon fibers with 3D structure. The Z-scheme electron transport path is verified by the calculation of the energy band structure calculation and the method of photodeposition, indicating that In2S3 and Fe3C are reduction reaction sites and oxidation reaction sites respectively. Carbon fibers serve as both the skeleton of the 3D structure and the electron mediator from Fe3C to In2S3. Moreover, the DFT calculation demonstrates that the introduction of Fe3C can reduce the energy barrier of *CO and *COH coupling on In2S3, and weaken the bonding of In-S, thereby enhancing the product selectivity towards acetate. Owing to the efficient charge transfer of the Z-scheme system, the photocorrosion in In2S3 is also greatly reduced, showing a relatively stable chemical composition after several hours of reaction. Compared with In2S3 and Fe3C/C, In2S3-C/Fe3C composites showed a significantly increased acetate evolution rate of 11.33 μmol/h/g without any sacrificial reagents.

They present an unusually high selectivity to 2-butene – without butane formation – in butadiene hydrogenation, a model reaction of applied interest for the petrochemical industry. Moreover, in CO2 reduction to CO (reverse water-gas shift reaction, relevant to greenhouse-gas valorization), these catalysts exhibit up to 99 % selectivity and a superior Pt-molar activity with respect to oxide-supported references.
