Optimizing the mobility of active species in ionic liquid/MIL-101 composites for boosting carbon dioxide conversion†
Abstract
Imidazole ionic liquids were encapsulated in the cavities of a metal–organic framework (MOF), via ship-in-bottle and post-synthetic polymerization strategies to afford IL@MIL-101 and polyILs@MIL-101, respectively. It is found that the catalyst with high mobility has better performance of carbon dioxide conversion.
