Enhanced carbon dioxide conversion at ambient conditions via a pore enrichment effect.

ABSTRACT: Chemical fixation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) may be a pathway to retard the current trend of rapid global warming. However, the current economic cost of chemical fixation remains high because the chemical fixation of CO₂ usually requires high temperature or high pressure. The rational design of an efficient catalyst that works at ambient conditions might substantially reduce the economic cost of fixation. Here, we report the rational design of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as efficient CO₂ fixation catalysts under ambient conditions based on the finding of "pore enrichment", which is concluded by a detailed investigation of the 10994 COFs. The best predicted COF, Zn-Salen-COF-SDU113, is synthesized, and its efficient catalytic performance for CO₂
