Summary: | One of the strategies suggested for solving the greenhouse gas problem is the transformation of CO<sub>2</sub> into valuable chemicals, such as carbamates, cyclic carbonates, oxazolidones and tetramic acids. Among these chemicals, cyclic carbonates can be used in lithium-ion batteries as electrolytes. Cyclic carbonate production via CO<sub>2</sub> cycloaddition is feasible method in terms of thermodynamic and atom economy. However, CO<sub>2</sub> transformation processes require high energy. So, researchers have studied several catalysts. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can have success even under humid conditions in cyclic carbonate production via CO<sub>2</sub> cycloaddition. The features of COFs are low density, large surface area and adjustable pore size and structure.
