Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a diverse class of anionic metal-oxo clusters with intriguing chemical and physical properties. Owing to unrivaled versatility and structural variation, POMs have been extensively utilized for catalysis for a plethora of reactions. In this focused review, the applications of POMs as promising catalysts or co-catalysts for CO(2) conversion, including CO(2) photo/electro reduction and CO(2) as a carbonyl source for the carbonylation process are summarized. A brief perspective on the potentiality in this field is proposed.
