The invention relates to the technical field of catalysis and aims to provide a method for decomposing CO in a photothermochemical cycle. 2 Titanium cobalt catalyst and preparation method thereof. The active component of the catalyst is composed of cobalt oxide and titanium oxide, and its general formula is Co x Ti 1‑x o 2‑x , 0<x≤0.3. The catalyst of the invention has good photoresponse ability, redox property and photohydrophilicity, good anti-sintering ability and high activity. The active component has wide sources, low price, non-toxicity, and has the characteristics of excellent photoresponse. Good dispersion, small particle size, good stability. The present invention uses aqueous solution system, has reduced the use of organic solvent, uses TiOSO 4 As a titanium source, relative to TiCl 4 The hydrolysis is weaker, making the preparation process more controllable.
