“…Because the catalytic copolymerization of PO and CO 2 is typically conducted at elevated temperatures (approximately 115–130 °C), selecting the appropriate calcination temperature for the DMC catalyst is crucial. Lower reaction temperatures result in insufficient catalyst activation, while higher temperatures can lead to the thermal decomposition of the polymer, compromising catalyst stability and selectivity. ,, Hence, this study determined the catalytic performance of DMC catalysts prepared at different calcination temperatures. To simplify the catalyst preparation method while achieving high catalytic performance, only the Pluronic P123 (P123) was used as the complexing agent, unlike in previous studies, ,,, which also employed cocomplexing agents.…”
