Ionic Liquid-Functionalized Porous Materials for Catalyzing CO2 Cycloaddition Reaction

Ionic liquids (ILs) are incorporated into traditional porous materials to create ILs-functionalized porous materials, which exhibit excellent absorption capacity and good catalytic activity for CO₂. As a result, they are extensively utilized in the chemical conversion of CO₂. This paper specifically focuses on the utilization of ILs-functionalized organic porous materials, ILs-functionalized inorganic porous materials, and ILs-functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid porous materials in the conversion of CO₂. The synergistic effects of combining ILs with porous materials in CO₂ conversion are thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis is provided regarding the potential prospects and future applications of utilizing ILs-functionalized porous materials within the broader realm of catalytic CO₂ conversion technologies.
