A series of ZnBr2 impregnated on rice husk ash silica catalysts were synthesised via the wet impregnation method for the CO2 cycloaddition to styrene oxide reaction. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that the impregnation resulted in the deterioration of the silica’s pore channels. Cata...
