A one‐step method was developed to synthesize highly ordered, primary amine–functionalized two‐dimensional (2D) hexagonal mesoporous polymers, designed to enhance the density of catalytically active sites for CO2 capture and subsequent hydrogenation to methanol. Incorporation of Pt nanoparticles generates an ordered bifunctional (base/metal) mesoporous system, enabling efficient CO2 adsorption and optimal metal utilization for effective methanol synthesis from the captured CO2 at the amine–metal interface. Compared with silica‐based materials,[1,2] this novel polymer achieves a fourfold increase in methanol yield while maintaining 100% selectivity under mild reaction conditions.
