This chapter focuses on the chemical fixation of CO2 into polymers via heterogeneous catalysis, which is seldom reviewed. It emphasizes on the heterogeneous catalysis of CO2 into polycarbonates, including the catalyst structure, related mechanism, and the structure-property relationship of the resulting polymers. The focus is on a heterogeneous catalyst, zinc-cobalt(III) double metal cyanide complex (Zn-Co(III) DMCC). Before discussion, several basic parameters for describing copolymerization are given to readers for understanding the catalyst performance for CO2/epoxide copolymerization. CS2 is an abundant and widely used C1 heterocumulene; being a sulfur-rich C1 resource, it has also been employed as a sulfur resource to synthesize sulfur-containing polymers. The most notable feature of CO2/epoxide copolymerization process is closely related to the formation of new carbon-oxygen bond between CO2 and epoxide with both ring-opening reaction of epoxide and breaking of one C=O double bond of CO2. The chapter also talks about the properties of C1-based polymers.
