Triazole-based MOF for the efficient solvent-free CO2 fixation reaction via cyclic carbonates synthesis
TThe increase of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere causes serious climate problems. The release of CO2 by anthropogenic activity may lead to a rise in global temperature over the past several hundred years. Hence, effective methods to capture CO2 and mitigate CO2 emissions are urgently demanded. Several strategies have been attempted to reduce CO2, including physical adsorption, and chemical sequestration of CO2. In situ conversion of the captured CO2 into useful product could be the most effective method for CO2 treatment. The CO2 cycloaddition reaction is an important reaction for producing cyclic carbonate, which has a wide range of applications in many fields. Various heterogeneous catalysts have been developed for CO2 cycloaddition reactions, including metal oxides, zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and supported catalyst.
