Multifunctional metal-organic frameworks for direct photosynthesis of cyclic carbonates from gaseous olefins

Ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) are important feedstocks in the production of commercial battery electrolytes and green solvents. However, their conventional industrial synthetic pathways rely heavily on energy-intensive thermocatalytic processes with costly epoxide reactants. Here, we report a cla...
