Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This Review focuses on the recent progress in the area of CO₂‐responsive polymers and provides detailed descriptions of these existing examples. CO₂‐responsive polymers can be categorized into three types based on their CO₂‐responsive groups: amidine, amine, and carboxyl groups. Compared with traditional temperature, pH, or light stimuli‐responsive polymers, CO₂‐responsive polymers provide the advantage to use CO₂ as a "green" trigger as well as to capture CO₂ directly from air. In addition, the current challenges of CO₂‐responsive polymers are discussed and the different solution methods are compared. Noteworthy, CO₂‐responsive polymers are considered to have a prosperous future in various scientific areas.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg271jjnrm" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
