[0002] Carbon dioxide and epoxides can be copolymerized to prepare polyether carbonate polyols. In this reaction, carbon dioxide is stable and difficult to react chemically, so research has mainly focused on catalyst development. Among them, double metal cyanide coordination catalysts are the most widely used heterogeneous catalysts. This catalyst has high activity, simple preparation, and low raw materials, and is widely used in industrial production.

[0003] Patent application CN1044663A discloses a highly active carbon dioxide / epoxide copolymerization catalyst prepared using a high molecular weight organic complexing agent. However, the polymerization generally takes 24 to 60 hours, which is a long reaction time. When used in industrial production, the polymerization cost is also high. Patent CN100484984C discloses a bimetallic complex catalyst that can significantly shorten the reaction time of epoxide and carbon dioxide copolymerization to 2 hours. The use of this catalyst can significantly improve equipment utilization and reduce production costs. However, the catalyst preparation process is complex, and the molecular weight of the polyol product is relatively high and the product is yellow, ranging from 4000 to 8000.
