Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon dioxide utilization with C–N bond formation: carbon dioxide capture and subsequent conversion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a carbon capture and utilization (CCU) strategy as an alternative approach to addressing the energy penalty problem in CCS, which could render this system suitable for accomplishing chemical transformation of CO2 under low pressure to avoid additional desorption step.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 chemistry: task-specific ionic liquids for CO2 capture/activation and subsequent conversion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a CO2 capture and utilization (CCU) protocol to solve the energy penalty problem in common CCS without the need for additional heat desorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lewis Basic Ionic Liquids-Catalyzed Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Cyclic Carbonates
TL;DR: In this article, a series of easily prepared Lewis basic ionic liquids were developed for cyclic carbonate synthesis from epoxide and carbon dioxide at low pressure without utilization of any organic solvents or additives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchically Mesoporous o‐Hydroxyazobenzene Polymers: Synthesis and Their Applications in CO2 Capture and Conversion
TL;DR: The synthesis of phenolic azo-polymers with hierarchical porous structures based on diazo-coupling reaction in aqueous solution under mild conditions is reported, with excellent performance for catalyzing the reaction of CO2 with epoxide and the oxidation of alcohol.
Journal ArticleDOI
A protic ionic liquid catalyzes CO₂ conversion at atmospheric pressure and room temperature: synthesis of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones.
TL;DR: As a bifunctional catalyst for simultaneously activating CO2 and the substrate, this CO2-reactive protic ionic liquid displayed excellent performance in catalyzing the reactions of CO2 with 2-aminobenzonitriles at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, thus producing a series of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones in excellent yields.
