1.2 Chemical Fixation of CO 2 to Value-Added Products
The catalytic reactions for CO 2 conversion [16] are broadly classified into three different categories (Fig. 2). In first, the CO 2 is incorporated (or fixation) into the
substrates without breaking the molecule, i.e., the oxidation state at the carbon
remains the same. The carbonates material or organic scaffolds are achieved in presence of suitable substrate (Fig. 2a). The polycarbonates are most extensively used as
