Abstract
One of the environmentally friendly methods is the intelligent utilization of natural one-dimensional nanomaterials as carriers to improve the CO2 catalytic performance of MOF materials. This paper reports an efficient composite catalyst preparation using a cheap and readily available magnesium-aluminosilicate nanometer, attapulgite (ATP), as a carrier for MOF materials. Due to its Lewis acidic site and unique alkaline pore structure, ATP exhibits excellent catalytic activity in the coupling reaction of CO2 with epoxy compounds, and its regular one-dimensional nanorod shape has tremendous potential as a carrier compared to other natural minerals. Given the diversity of MOF material types and structures, the design of this UIO-66/ATP nanocomposite catalyst provides both a new pathway for CO2 capture and conversion and a developmental space for the synthesis of such nanocomposites.

Abstract
A multifaceted metal-organic framework (MOF) with task-specific site-engineered pores can promise high-temperature and moisture-tolerant capture and non-redox fixation of CO2 under mild conditions as well as ultrasensitive detection of carcinogenic contaminants in water. Herein, we report a pillar-bilayered MOF that holds a nanochannel with contrasting functionalities for both these sustainable applications with improved performance characteristics. The twofold entangled robust framework exhibits CO2 adsorption at elevated temperatures with considerable MOF-gas interaction. Interestingly, CO2 selectivity unveils nearly a 3-fold improvement upon the rise of temperature, affording a CO2/N2 value of 820 at 313 K, which outperforms many porous adsorbents. Additionally, breakthrough simulation establishes complete separation and attests the potential of this MOF in the separation of flue gas mixture. Importantly, minor CO2 loss during multiple capture-release cycles and under a relative humidity of 75% promise practical usability of the material. Density functional theory (DFT) not only portrays the atomistic level snapshots of temperature-triggered CO2 inclusion inside this microporous vessel alongside the role of diverse CO2-philic sites but also validates the basis of N2-phobicity of an azo-functionalized linker on such increased selectivity. The guest-free MOF further demonstrates non-redox and recyclable CO2 fixation with wide epoxide tolerance under solvent-free mild conditions and even works at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The crucial roles of high-density acid-base sites in both adsorption and catalysis are supported by control experiments and by comparing the activity of an unfunctionalized MOF. The hydrolytic stability and strong luminescence signature benefit the framework in aqueous-phase selective and fast responsive detection of detrimental roxarsone (ROX) with high quenching (7.56 × 104 M-1) and very low sensitivity (68 nM). Apart from varying degrees of an energy-transfer mechanism, the fluorosensing of ROX is comprehensively supported by in-depth DFT studies that manifest alteration of MOF energy levels in the presence of organoarsenic compounds and depict MOF-analyte supramolecular interactions.

In detail, the classification and synthesis techniques of core-shell catalysts are discussed. Furthermore, it is also emphasized that the excellent properties of the core-shell structure can greatly improve the activity, selectivity, and stability in the process of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Hopefully, this paper can provide a favorable reference for the preparation of efficient photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Due to the inherent thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of CO2, heterogeneous catalytic conversion of CO2 to cyclic carbonates often requires harsh operating conditions, high temperature and high pressure, and the addition of cocatalysts. Therefore, the development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts under cocatalyst-free and mild conditions for CO2 conversion has always been a challenge. Herein, an infrequent tetracoordinated Cd-MOF was synthesized and used to catalyze CO2 cycloaddition reactions efficiently without the addition of any cocatalyst, and its catalytic mechanism was systematically investigated through a series of experiments, including fluorescence analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, microcalorimetry, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Cd-MOF features a 3D supermolecule structure with 1D 11.6 × 7.7 Å2 channels, and the abundant Lewis acid/base and I- sites located in the confined channel boost efficient CO2 conversion with a maximum yield of 98.2% and a turnover number value of 1080.11 at 60 °C and 0.5 MPa, far surpassing most pristine MOF-based catalytic systems. A combined experimental and DFT calculation demonstrates that the exposed Cd(II) Lewis acid sites rapidly participate in coordination to activate the epoxides, and the resulting large steric hindrance facilitates leaving of the coordinated iodide ions in a reversibly dynamic fashion convenient for the rate-determining step ring-opening as a strong nucleophile. Such a pristine MOF catalyst with self-independent catalytic ring-opening overcomes the complicated operation limitation of the traditional cocatalyst-free MOF systems based on encapsulating/postmodifying cocatalysts, providing a whole new strategy for the development of simple, green, and efficient heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 cycloaddition.

Abstract
Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have gained widespread attention in recent years due to their excellent properties similar to both ionic liquids and polymers. However, their further applications are limited because abundant and flexible ions easily block nanopores in the PIL catalysts, thus blocking the active sites and ultimately leading to decreased catalytic activity. This work reports the synthesis of a PIL/graphene composite catalyst (iPOP-ZnTPy@GNFs) based on an in situ surface preparation strategy, which effectively controlled the particle size and dispersion state of ionic liquids. The iPOP-ZnTPy@GNFs exhibited a larger surface area and more exposed active sites, which intensified the catalytic activity in the CO2 cycloaddition reaction with propylene oxide with almost double the reaction rate as compared to that of iPOP-ZnTPy-2 at 100 °C and S/C = 1000. As expected, the iPOP-ZnTPy@GNF catalyst efficiently converted epoxides to cyclic carbonates at room temperature or atmospheric pressure, which can significantly reduce the process cost. In addition, iPOP-ZnTPy@GNFs exhibited excellent broad substrate scope, catalytic diversity, and remarkable reusability. The reaction mechanism of CO2 cycloaddition was studied via density functional theory calculations and was validated by experimental findings. This work provides a feasible method for improving the utilization of active sites in PILs as a highly robust catalyst for CO2 cycloaddition and can be further extended to other types of catalytic reactions in practical applications.

Abstract
The effective conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into cyclic carbonates requires porous materials with high ionic content and large specific surface area. Herein, we developed a new systematic post-synthetic modification strategy for synthesizing imidazolium-based hypercrosslinked ionic polymers (HIPs) with high ionic content (up to 2.1 mmol g−1) and large specific surface area (385 m2 g−1) from porous hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) through addition reaction and quaternization. The obtained HIPs were efficient in CO2 capture and conversion. Under the synergistic effect of high ionic content, large specific surface area, and plentiful micro/mesoporosity, the metal-free catalyst [HCP-CH2-Im][Cl]-1 exhibited quantitative selectivities, high catalytic yields, and good substrate compatibility for the conversion of CO2 into cyclic carbonates at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa) in a shorter reaction time in the absence of cocatalysts, solvents, and additives. High catalytic yields (styrene oxide, 120 °C, 8 h, 94% yield; 100 °C, 20 h, 93% yield) can be achieved by appropriately extending the reaction times at low temperature, and the reaction times are shorter than other porous materials under the same conditions. This work provides a new strategy for synthesizing an efficient metal-free heterogeneous catalyst with high ionic content and a large specific surface area from HCPs for the conversion of CO2 into cyclic carbonates. It also demonstrates that the ionic content and specific surface area must be coordinated to obtain high catalytic activity for CO2 cycloaddition reaction.
