  • Increased carbon dioxide concentrations may contribute to global warming, damaging ecosystems; however, CO2 can also be captured and converted into valuable chemicals. Carbon dioxide and epoxy compounds can undergo a cycloaddition reaction, producing carbonates that can be effectively utilized as chemical raw materials. This article adopts a first-person perspective and personification, comparing carbon dioxide and epoxy compounds to two children—“Ice” and “Fire”—who are troubled by environmental degradation but determined to rebuild their home. Through their adventurous journey to overcome numerous obstacles and collect carbonates, the article introduces the mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction, typical catalysts, and the applications of carbonates in various industries.
