“…This pathway has the features of environmentally friendly and 100% atom-efficiency [5,8,15], producing a series of valuable chemicals like cyclic carbonates as solvents, polymer monomers, and organic intermediates [16][17][18][19][20]. To convert CO 2 molecules with inherent thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness under mild condition [12,[21][22][23] encouraged the development of various homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts including metal-porphyrin [6,24], metal complexes [25,26], metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [27][28][29], covalent organic frameworks (COFs) [30,31], ionic liquids (ILs) [32,33], and porous organic polymers (POPs) [34][35][36], etc. The homogeneous catalysts normally exhibited high activity while the heterogeneous one allows facile catalyst separation and recycling.…”
