By utilizing direct hydrothermal synthesis, catalytic active sites are assembled infibrous framework of phosphosilicate (FPS), controllably. Aluminium (Al) incorporation as a heteroatom at distinct Si/Al ratios is utilized to modify their properties of surface. XRD, XPS, ICP, EDX, TEM, FE-SEM, and BET analyzes are utilized to characteristic catalysts. Converting carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to cyclic carbonates was suggested as the best approach to produce this C1 building block for the proximity of epoxides. For oxidation carboxylation of styrenes with carbon dioxide, we found that, nanoparticles of Al/FPS are proper catalyst, in one-step reaction. Al/FPS catalytic system in comparison of other reported catalysts can convert various olefins into the synthesis of cyclic carbonates in the highest yields and mild conditions in comparison with the data formerly presented.
