“…as well as heterogeneous catalysts like nitrogen-based polymers, ionic liquids, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous-organic polymers (POPs), ion-exchange resins, metal oxides, supported metal catalysts, and more have been reported for the conversion of epoxides into cyclic carbonates utilizing CO 2 . [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] In particular, heterogeneous, porous nanocatalysts are advantageous due to their easy separation, good recyclability and large surface area. 29 Furthermore, it could be more sustainable if catalysts can be designed using abundant and non-toxic material resources for cyclic carbonate formation under mild conditions.…”
