This review provides a comprehensive overview of TMNs, covering their crystal structure, stability, and the unique advantages they offer. TMNs exhibit superior catalytic activity, lower sintering sensitivity, and high selectivity, while operating at reduced temperatures. Density functional theory (DFT) studies have addressed their diverse properties, including electronic, optical, vibrational, plasmonic, mechanical, bulk, magnetic, structural, and morphological characteristics. The review categorizes TMNs into different types: unitary, binary, ternary, and quaternary nitrides, and explores various synthesis methods such as ammonolysis, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), electrodeposition, and pyrolysis. Additionally, it discusses the classification of TMNs into single metal-source nitrides and composite metal-source nitrides, highlighting materials like Fe<img alt=\"single bond\" src=\"https://sdfestaticassets-us-east-1.sciencedirectassets.com/shared-assets/55/entities/sbnd.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\"/>N, Co<img alt=\"single bond\" src=\"https://sdfestaticassets-us-east-1.sciencedirectassets.com/shared-assets/55/entities/sbnd.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\"/>N, and Ti<img alt=\"single bond\" src=\"https://sdfestaticassets-us-east-1.sciencedirectassets.com/shared-assets/55/entities/sbnd.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\"/>N. Similarly, the functionalization strategies are also examined, covering boron-based, cyanide-based, and graphene-based TMNs etc. among others. The review evaluates the morphology of TMNs, including nanoflowers, nanospheres, and nanowires, and their influence on performance. Finally, the applications of TMNs are explored in detail, focusing on their performance in photocatalytic reactions (hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) evolution, oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) evolution, overall water splitting, hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) production, carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) reduction, and degradation), electrocatalysis (H<sub>2</sub> evolution reaction, O<sub>2</sub> evolution reaction, overall water splitting, CO<sub>2</sub> reduction), energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), and solar cells. This synthesis of material highlights the extensive use and future promise of TMNs in enhancing technical advancements. This study aims to provide an extensive foundation that covers every aspect of TMNs, with a particular focus on their many functional features, unique morphologies, and dimensions. Our comprehensive approach provides readers with an in-depth understanding of TMNs properties and potential applications, setting our review apart through its extensive coverage and detailed analysis.

This review highlights the revolutionary impact of biomass-derived carbon materials in the field of CO<sub>2</sub> capture. These materials, sourced from agricultural residues, forestry waste, and other organic matter, offer a sustainable, cost-effective, and highly efficient alternative to conventional capture technologies. Key findings of this review highlight the superior CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption capabilities of biomass-derived carbon materials, stemming from their large surface area and tunable pore structures. The review reveals that these materials outperform traditional sorbents like zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and amines in both efficiency and environmental impact. The life cycle assessments (LCAs) discussed demonstrate significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy demands when using biomass-derived carbons compared to coal-based systems. For instance, biochar-derived activated carbon exhibits 35% lower cradle-to-product gate energy demand and produces less than half the greenhouse gas emissions of coal-derived activated carbon. Moreover, the review underscores the versatility of synthesis methods such as pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization, which can be precisely adjusted to improve the effectiveness of these materials. Innovations like surface modifications and heteroatom doping are further pushing the boundaries of what biomass-derived carbons can achieve in CO<sub>2</sub> capture applications. By exploring a wide range of case studies and industrial-scale applications, this review not only illustrates the practical benefits of these materials but also sets the stage for future advancements. These findings suggest a promising path forward for scalable, efficient, and sustainable CO<sub>2</sub> capture technologies, marking a significant step toward a greener and more resilient future.","PeriodicalId":289,"journal":{"name":"Coordination Chemistry Reviews","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142804712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
