In situ rapid synthesis of ionic liquid/ionic covalent organic framework composites for CO2 fixation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Dec 5;59(97):14435-14438. doi: 10.1039/d3cc04763f.

Abstract

IL/ICOF composites were in situ synthesized via a one-pot route in half an hour under ambient conditions for catalytic cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides into cyclic carbonates. The prepared composites feature a decent CO2 adsorption capacity of 1.63 mmol g-1 at 273 K and 1 bar and exhibit excellent catalytic performance in terms of yield and durability. This work may pave a new way to design and construct functionalized porous organic frameworks as heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 capture and conversion.
