Background: There is an increasing interest to consider carbon dioxide as a resource and a business opportunity rather than a waste with a disposal cost. Among the several specific motivations to produce platform chemicals such as carbamates from CO2 are the low or zero cost of this feedstock and the potential to be a more economic efficient route. However, this pathway requires the development of materials with tunable morphologies and textural properties that display enhanced catalytic performance, distinctive structural and adsorption properties than those of conventional materials. Gallium oxide can be rationally engineered into crystalline porous materials which combine highly desirable properties, such as controlled morphology, uniform... view more»
