Summary: This study successfully fabricated a novel catalyst composed of a hollow nitrogen-doped carbon framework and high-loading atomically dispersed iron sites for the cycloaddition reactions of CO2 with epoxides. The catalyst exhibited excellent performance due to its ultrahigh loading of atomically dispersed iron sites. This research not only provides an advanced catalyst for CO2 cycloaddition, but also offers a new perspective on the rational design of catalysts with high-loading active sites for various heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

Summary: This research explores how exposing catalytically active metal sites in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) enhances their catalytic activity through accelerated electron transfer. HKUST-1 shows the best electrocatalytic and peroxidase-mimicking activities among the MOFs studied. By low-temperature calcination and controlled partial pyrolysis, quasi-HKUST-1 (QHKUST-1) with more active centers and better electrical conductivity is obtained. QHKUST-1 exhibits superior moisture stability and catalytic properties compared to HKUST-1.
