Nine protic carboxyl imidazolium ionic liquids are synthesized.Then,they are employed to catalyze the chemical fixation of carbon dioxide(CO2)and propylene oxide leading to propylene carbonate in the
The tunable porosity and functional metal sites imparting MOFs with favorable capability for CO2 adsorbing and efficient catalysis centers might create catalytic environments suitable for CO2RR.
Carbon dioxide is an ideal C1 resource,1 because it is abundant,renewable and non-toxic.However,it is thermodynamically stable,which greatly limits its application.
