Reductive and Non-Reductive CO2 Valorization strategies: development of integrated processes in Sustainable Chemistry

The primary goal of this thesis is to develop innovative and more sustainable procedures, with a special focus on CO2 valorization strategies. The results have been collected and discussed in three chapters (Chapter 3: Non-Reductive CO2 Valorization strategies, Chapter 4: Reductive CO2 Valorization strategies and Chapter 5: Photochemistry). This thesis was developed in the Green Organic Synthesis Team (GOST) of the Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia, led by Prof. Giulia Fiorani, Prof. Maurizio Selva and Prof. Alvise Perosa. In addition, part of the research activities of this PhD program was carried at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) in the laboratories of Noël Research Group (NRG) led by Prof. Dr. ing. Timothy Noël. In particular, during the period at NRG the development of flow technologies were investigated.
