The synthesis of cyclic carbonates from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and epoxides is a 100% atom economical reaction and an attractive pathway for CO 2 utilisation. Because CO 2 is a thermodynamically stable molecule, the use of catalysts is mandatory in reducing the activation energy of the CO 2 conversion. Considering environmental compatibility and the high-efficiency catalytic conversion of CO 2 , there is the strong need to develop green catalysts. Biomass-based catalysts, a type of renewable resource, have attracted considerable attention due to their unique properties-non-toxic, low-cost, pollution-free, etc. In this review, recent advances in the development of biomass-based catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates by CO 2 and epoxides coupling are summarized and discussed in detail. The effect of biomass-based catalysts, functional groups, reaction conditions, and co-catalysts on the catalytic efficiency and selectivity of synthesizing cyclic carbonates process is discussed. We intend to provide a comprehensive understanding of recent experimental and theoretical progress of CO 2 and epoxides coupling reaction and pave the way for both CO 2 conversion and biomass unitization.
