“…As a green, non-toxic, abundant, and renewable C1 feedstock, CO 2 can be transformed into various valuable energy or chemical products through thermal catalysis, 4,5 photocatalysis, 6,7 photothermal catalysis, 8,9 electrocatalysis, 10,11 and other methodologies. For instance, employing these methods enables the conversion of CO 2 into high-value chemicals such as methane, 12,13 methanol, 14,15 acetic acid, 16 benzimidazole, 17,18 and cyclic carbonate. 19,20 Among them, the cycloaddition of CO 2 to epoxides to synthesize cyclic carbonates is considered as one of the most successful applications of CO 2 utilization.…”
