<p>A manganese substituted Anderson type polyoxometalate, [MnMo<sub>6</sub>O<sub>24</sub>]<sup>9-</sup>, tethered with an anthracene photosensitizer was prepared and used as catalyst for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction. The polyoxometalate-photosensitizer hybrid complex, obtained by covalent attachment of the sensitizer to only one face of the planar polyoxometalate, was characterized by NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show a catalytic response for the reduction of carbon dioxide, thereby suggesting catalysis at the manganese site on the open face of the polyoxometalate. Controlled potentiometric electrolysis showed the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to CO with a TOF of ~15 sec<sup>-1</sup>. Further photochemical reactions showed that the polyoxometalate-anthracene hybrid complex was active for the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to yield formic acid and/or CO in varying amounts dependent on the reducing agent used. Control experiments showed that the attachment of the photosensitizer to [MnMo<sub>6</sub>O<sub>24</sub>]<sup>9-</sup> is necessary for photocatalysis.</p><div><br></div>

With the assistance of Pt-catalyzed formic acid vapor, robust Ag-Cu bonding was realized at an ultra-low temperature of 160 °C under 3 MPa for 30 min via the sintering of Ag nanoparticles in situ generated from Ag2O microparticles. The Cu oxide layer at the interface after bonding can be eliminated, which improves the bond strength and electrical conductivity of the joint. A metallic bond contact between the sintered Ag and the Cu substrate is obtained without interfacial solid solution and intermetallic phases, and the shear strength is comparable to previous bonding at a higher temperature. The bonding mechanisms were figured out by comparing the bonding with and without the Pt-catalyzed formic acid vapor. This ultra-low temperature Ag-Cu bonding method may create more flexibilities in the structure design and material selection for power device integration.
