Abstract:As more attention is focused on the emission of CO2 into the environment, CO2 produced by industrial sources such as fossil-fuel power plants can be used as a potential source for the manufacturing of useful chemicals. Carbonate synthesis is a general approach for the conversion of CO2 using epoxides. The reaction of CO2 with epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates requires a catalyst with a high surface area, Lewis active sites, and an affinity for CO2. In this study, copperbased MOF catalysts (MOF-199, Cu-BDC,… Show more
