Summary: This paper reports a highly selective and efficient method of oxidizing styrenes to cyclic carbonates using carbon dioxide in the presence of Ni/DFNS@Pd as a magnetic nanocatalyst. The catalyst was magnetized by covering the dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) outer layer with nickel for convenient detachment using an external magnetic field. Palladium nanoparticles on the outer layer of Ni/DFNS were then reduced. Biogenic magnetic nanoparticles were utilized for the first time as a reusable catalyst with an external magnet. The catalyst's attributes were characterized using various methods, and it exhibited great accessibility and reusability.
