Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have tremendous potential for reactive capture and conversion (RCC) of CO2 due to their wide electrochemical stability window, low volatility, and high CO2 solubility. There is environmental and economic interest in the direct utilization of the captured CO2 using electrified and modular processes that forgo the thermal- or pressure-swing regeneration steps to concentrate CO2, eliminating the need to compress, transport, or store the gas. The conventional electrochemical conversion of CO2 with aqueous electrolytes presents limited CO2 solubility and high energy requirement to achieve industrially relevant products. Additionally, aqueous systems have competitive hydrogen evolution. In the past decade, there has been significant progress toward the design of ILs and DESs, and their composites to separate CO2 from dilute streams. In parallel, but not necessarily in synergy, there have been studies focused on a few select ILs and DESs for electrochemical reduction of CO2, often diluting them with aqueous or non-aqueous solvents. The resulting electrode-electrolyte interfaces present a complex speciation for RCC. In this review, we describe how the ILs and DESs are tuned for RCC and specifically address the CO2 chemisorption and electroreduction mechanisms. Critical bulk and interfacial properties of ILs and DESs are discussed in the context of RCC, and the potential of these electrolytes are presented through a techno-economic evaluation.

Abstract
It is very interesting to synthesize high value-added chemicals from CO2 under mild conditions with low energy consumption. Here, we report that a novel catalyst, Zn(betaine)2Br2, can efficiently promote the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides to synthesize cyclic carbonates under ambient conditions (30 °C, 1 atm). DFT calculations provide important insights into the mechanism, particularly the unusual synergistic catalytic action of Zn2+, Br- and NR4+, which is the critical factor for the outstanding performance of Zn(betaine)2Br2. The unique features of the catalyst are that it is cheap, green and very easy to prepare.

Abstract
In this work, we reported a facile one-pot approach to construct polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and imidazolium-based ionic porous hypercrosslinked polymers (denoted as iPHCPs) with multiple active sites towards efficient catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to high value-added cyclic carbonates. The targeted iPHCPs were synthesized from a rigid molecular building block octavinylsilsesquioxane (VPOSS) and a newly-designed phenyl-based imidazolium ionic crosslinker through the AlCl3-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction. The desired multiple active sites come from the mixed anions including free Cl- and Br- anions, and in situ formed Lewis acidic metal-halogen complex anions [AlCl3Br]- within imidazolium moieties and POSS-derived Si-OH groups during the synthetic process. The typical polymer iPHCP-12 possesses a hierarchical micro-/mesoporous structure with a high surface area up to 537 m2 g-1 and shows a fluffy nano-morphology. By virtue of the co-existence of free nucleophilic Cl- and Br- anions, the metal complex anion [AlCl3Br]- with both electrophilic and nucleophilic characters and electrophilic hydrogen bond donor (HBD) Si-OH groups, iPHCP-12 is regarded as an efficient recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for synergistic catalytic conversion of CO2 with various epoxides into cyclic carbonates under mild conditions. The present work provides a succinct one-pot strategy to construct task-specific ionic porous hypercrosslinked polymers from easily available modules for the targeted catalytic applications.

Abstract
An in situ generated zinc ascorbate pre-catalyst for cyclic carbonate (CC) synthesis via CO2 coupling with epoxides under ambient conditions was reported. Spectroscopic measurements indicated that CO2 was inserted into the zinc ascorbate complex through the formation of an activated zinc carbonate catalyst upon abstracting the enediol protons with sodium hydride. The aliphatic diols were not activated under the applied conditions and did not interfere with either the process of cycloaddition or CO2 activation. The catalyst was active against different terminal epoxides, with a conversion of 75 and 85%, when propylene oxide and styrene oxide were used at 20 and 50 °C, respectively under 1 atm CO2 for 17 h, which was considered a good advancement for heterogeneous based catalysis. Moreover, green chemistry principles were applied to ultimately end up with more ecofriendly approaches for the synthesis of CC following a simple balloon technique. Herein, we used zinc as a sustainable metal, together with ascorbic acid as a bio-renewable material in addition to CO2 as a renewable feed-stock. Furthermore, waste prevention was achieved using the reaction side product, viz., NaBr as a co-catalyst.
