Herein we report an efficient and recyclable catalytic system for tandem CO 2 capture and N‐formylation to value‐added chemicals. CO 2 is apt to be captured by morpholine solution, while a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst, isolated iridium atoms supported over nanadiamond/graphene, is discovered to be highly reactive for the formylation of morpholine, leading to the formation of N‐formylmorpholine with excellent productivity (with a turnover number of 5 120 000 in a single batch reaction) and selectivity (&gt;99 %). In addition, the CO 2 captured by morpholine under atmospheric conditions can be converted to N‐formylmorpholine with decent conversion (51 %), which realizes the integration of CO 2 capture and conversion to value‐added chemicals.
