Abstract
Utilization of abandoned CO2 that is generated from fossil fuels and industrial sources into valuable chemicals is a smart approach for a greener future. The fixation of CO2 over epoxides and the production of cyclic carbonates is one of the popular CO2 utilization techniques. Silica supported silver nanoparticles have been used before in different important reactions like nitrophenol reduction, alcohol oxidation etc., due to the high surface area, pore size of silica and high activity of the Ag0 species. In this study, Technische Universiteit Delft -1 (TUD-1) is used as silica support for stabilizing silver nanoparticles and CO2 has been converted to cyclic carbonate under solvent less condition. The Lewis acidic nature of the silver particles have aided into the solvent-less CO2 conversion, resulting into the maximum yield of 98% at 60 °C and 1 MPa pressure.
