It is promising and challenging to achieve the effective construction of carbonates using CO2 and a non-noble metal catalyst. Herein, selective catalytic conversion of CO2 and switchable alcohol candidates to produce linear or cyclic carbonates and α-hydroxy ketones via effective zinc catalyst was developed. A series of primary alcohols and cyclohexanol, 1,2-diols, and water can serve as nucleophiles to give alkyl or aryl 2-substituted-3-oxobutan-2-yl carbonates, substituted 1,3-dioxolan-2-ones, 3-substituted 3-hydroxybutan-2-ones, respectively with excellent selectivity and high yields.

In recent years, research activities involved in the production of nanocellulosic materials have grown substantially, rapidly stimulating the development of innovative production techniques. These materials are chemically extracted by acid-catalyzed Hydrolysis of the renewable and widely available cellulosic biomass. In this regard, sulfuric acid-catalyzed Hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass is a commonly known method for the production of nanostructured cellulose. However, this method may result in many disadvantages, including short catalyst-lifetime, corrosive to the reactor materials and managing the spent sulfuric acid resulted from the production process. This dictates the implementation of an eco-industrial alternative for the catalytic production of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). A viable and practical alternative is the application of heterogeneous (solid acids) catalysts, which can be more conducive in providing favorable platforms for efficient cellulose hydrolysis. This review highlights the current production methods of nanocrystalline cellulose. Further, recent literature on the heterogeneous-catalytic conversion of cellulosic biomass is briefly discussed. The limitations and disadvantages of these techniques are also described.

Using carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) as a feedstock to synthesize various polymers has drawn much attention. One-pot multicomponent tandem polymerization (MCTP) with great synthetic simplicity and efficiency is a powerful strategy for the synthesis of new CO<sub>2</sub>-based luminescent polymers. In this work, we successfully developed a new one-pot MCTP combining three sequential carboxylation-cyclization-esterification reactions of CO<sub>2</sub>, diynes and alkyl dihalides to direct fixing CO<sub>2</sub> into luminescent polymers with aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) property. This MCTP could be facilely carried out in <i>N,N</i>-dimethylacetamide in the presence of a cheap catalyst CuI and an organic base 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene under atmospheric pressure. A series of poly(<i>β</i>-alkoxyacrylate)s with well-defined structures, high molecular weights (<i>M</i><sub>w</sub> up to 15 400) were obtained in high yields (up to 96%). The resultant polymers possess good thermal stability with high decomposition temperature and high char yield. Due to polymerization-induced emission (PIE) behavior, the non-luminescent monomers could be converted to luminescent poly(<i>β</i>-alkoxyacrylate)s with AEE features. Thus, this work provides a new pathway to directly transform CO<sub>2</sub> into luminescent polymers via a one-pot MCTP strategy.

The current scale of plastics production and the accompanying waste disposal problems represent a largely untapped opportunity for chemical upcycling. Tandem catalytic conversion by platinum supported on γ-alumina converts various polyethylene grades in high yields (up to 80 weight percent) to low-molecular-weight liquid/wax products, in the absence of added solvent or molecular hydrogen, with little production of light gases. The major components are valuable long-chain alkylaromatics and alkylnaphthenes (average ~C30, dispersity Ð = 1.1). Coupling exothermic hydrogenolysis with endothermic aromatization renders the overall transformation thermodynamically accessible despite the moderate reaction temperature of 280°C. This approach demonstrates how waste polyolefins can be a viable feedstock for the generation of molecular hydrocarbon products.
