High-efficiency acid-base catalysts: ZrO, TiO, amine, and Br functionalized porous polymers for CO and epoxide to cyclic carbonate conversion.

The development of new materials capable of converting carbon dioxide (CO) into value-added products has emerged as a crucial strategy in addressing global climate change and promoting sustainable industrial practices. As CO emissions continue to rise, innovative catalytic systems that facilitate its utilization as a C1 carbon source are gaining significant attention. Such advancements not only contribute to carbon capture and utilization (CCU) efforts but also support the transition toward greener chemical processes by reducing dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks.
