The designed catalyst features multiple active sites, including a Lewis acidic alkali ion center and a nucleophilic iodide source, enabling the efficient activation of epoxides under solvent‐free conditions with atmospheric pressure. Systematic studies on the effects of cations and calcium salts revealed that the multi‐activation mechanism plays a critical role in enhancing the catalytic performance. The catalyst exhibited a high selectivity and activity, achieving up to a 97 % yield of cyclic carbonates at atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> pressure and 70 °C. The simulated post‐combustion exhaust gas (CO<sub>2</sub>: 7.5 %, N<sub>2</sub>: 92.5 %, relative humidity: 90 %) was concentrated to 97 % and used as the material for the reaction to yield 90 % of styrene carbonate from styrene oxide.
