The invention discloses a technology for preparing
organic fuel through directly converting
carbon dioxide by using
sunlight and a photothermal catalyst.
Sunlight is utilized to supply light and heat for the synthesis and catalytic process of the photothermal catalyst, and the photothermal catalyst can simultaneously absorb and utilize
ultraviolet light, visible light and
infrared light parts in
sunlight, so that a phtothermal catalytic reaction is induced to prepare the
organic fuel through reducing
carbon dioxide by using
hydrogen. The photothermal catalyst comprises the following components: an
active component which is a 2-30 nano-scale non-stoichiometric
oxide belonging to a VIII-family element in a transition family and a
carrier material which is an
oxide or carbon material with the specific surface area of 30-1000cm<2> / g, alkaline resistance,
high heat conductivity or photocatalytic activity. A
steeping and in-situ
sintering method or photodepositing and in-situ
sintering method is used as a synthesis method so that the
energy consumption is low, and the photothermal catalyst has
high activity and long service life by using a solar-assisted in-situ
sintering technology. The technology for preparing
organic fuel through directly converting
carbon dioxide by using
sunlight and the photothermal catalyst is low in
energy consumption in the catalytic process, high in organic fuel production efficiency and stable in catalyst activity.
