Nanocatalysts for chemical transformation of carbon dioxide

- Important developments in the chemical transformation of carbon dioxide using the nanocatalysts.
- Synthesis of cyclic carbonates using epoxides/alcohol and CO2.
- Synthesis of cyclic carbamates using propargylic-amines/aziridines/aminoalcohols and miscellaneous and CO2.
- Synthesis of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones using alkyne and CO2.
- Synthesis of carboxylic acids, alcohols and esters using CO2via nanocatalyst.

This review deals with the applications of nanocatalysts in chemical transformation of CO2, a field that has attracted great interest in the chemical, fuels, materials, and industrial communities. Literature has been surveyed from 2010 to 2017.
