“…It is noteworthy to mention that CO 2 is moderately reactive, abundant and renewable source of carbon to be employed as C1 building block for the synthesis of a wide range of fuels and value added fine chemicals or intermediates . These CO 2 utilization or fixation reactions can be broadly classified into three categories, i) CO 2 reduction to CO, CH 3 OH, CH 4 , HCHO, HCO 2 H or higher hydrocarbons, ii) reactions involving new C−C, C−O, C−N bond formations and iii) synthesis of organic and inorganic carbamates, cyclic carbonates or polycarbonates . A wide range of porous nanomaterials including PMO bearing basic urea containing moiety (PMO‐UDF), Zn‐containing SBA‐15 material impregnated with potassium iodide, tri‐s‐triazine containing ionic liquid, etc.…”
