The ring-opening polymerization lays the foundation for synthesizing polypropylene glycol. Nevertheless, homogeneous alkali catalysts usually require complex post-treatments, hindering green synthesis and environmental sustainability. Here, we studied a heterogeneous epoxide polymerization method ba...
