Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Bio‐based Carbonate by the Catalytic Reaction of CO2 with Bio‐based Compounds

Abstract Excessive carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions pose a serious threat to the natural environment; hence CO 2 capture and utilization have been widely concerned in industrial production. At present, the high value‐added utilization of CO 2 after capture has become a hot issue. Bio‐based carbonate materials with high commercial value can be generated by the reaction of CO 2 and bio‐based compounds, which provides a promising, green, and sustainable material synthetic route. Bio‐based carbonate materials, which are suitable for applications in various industries, have excellent thermodynamic and mechanical properties compared with those prepared from petroleum. In this manuscript, the synthesis and utilization of bio‐based carbonates from a variety of bio‐based compounds and CO 2 were briefly described, and the existing problems were put forward in the field. It provided a direction for the green utilization of CO 2 .
