The triazine containing polymer (CYA-ANIS) was prepared from cyanuric chloride (CYA-Cl) and o-dianisidine (ANIS) in anhydrous DMF as solvent by refluxing under the N-2 gas environment. The presence of triazine and amine functional groups in the polymer results in the adsorption of CO2 up to 7 cc/g at 273 K. This inspired us to utilize the polymer for the conversion of a series of functionalised epoxides into their corresponding cyclic carbonates in the presence of tetrabutyl ammonium iodide (TBAI) as co-catalyst. The product has wide range of applications like solvent in lithium ion battery, precursor for polycarbonate, etc. The catalyst was efficient for the conversion of different mono and di-epoxides into their corresponding cyclic carbonates under atmospheric pressure in the presence of TBAI as co-catalyst. The study indicates that epoxide attached with electron withdrawing groups (like, CH2Cl, glycidyl ether, etc.) displayed better conversion compared to simple alkane chain attached epoxides. This is mainly due to the stabilization of electron rich intermediates produced during the reaction (e. g. epoxide ring opening or CO2 incorporation into the halo-alkoxide anion). This catalyst mixture was capable to maintain its reactivity up to five cycles without losing its activity. Post catalytic characterization clearly supports the heterogeneous and recyclable nature of the catalyst.&lt;/p&gt;

	Presently, a sustainable electrochemical Nitrogen Reduction Reaction (NRR) has been essentially found to be viable on transition metal-based catalysts. However, being cost-effective and non-corrosive, metal-free catalysts present an ideal solution for a sustainable world. Herein, through a DFT-based study, we demonstrate metal-free NRR catalysts, boron quantum dots with 13 atoms as a case study and their chemically modified counterparts when anchored on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) surface. The best catalyst among the studied, a silicon-doped boron quantum dot with a cagelike structure, is found to favour the dinitrogen to ammonia reaction pathway with a low liming potential and potential rate-determining step (PDS) of -0.11 V and 0.27 eV, respectively. The present work demonstrates as to how boron quantum dots, which are reported to be experimentally synthesised, can be exploited for ammonia synthesis when supported on the surface. These catalysts effectively suppress the HER, thus establishing its suitability as an ideal catalyst. The work also represents a futuristic pathway towards a metal-free catalyst for NRR.&lt;/p&gt;
